Unfortunately it is not only pronunciation 
There are also huge differences in vocabulary use, spelling and grammar. But it's really amazing that they (British and Americans) do not know any differencies themselves - they just speak their language and do not rack their brains about it. It is usually foreigners who have to distinguish between BE and AE and learn the differences.
My British friend told me about her experience in the USA and was proud of having learnt a lot of "American" words. She was really surprised that "bonnet" was "hood" and "boot" is "trunk" in AE. Funny, isn't it?
