This paper is built upon a sociolinguistics perspective, understanding the language variable in ‘regard to geography or the place of living of human communities’ impression on the language spoken (pronunciation & words) by people living in one country but in different regions. This issue affects Standard British English language learning in Libya as the students try to imitate English they hear and receive from Cinemas, movies, TV shows and songs that defect the Standard English we aim to teach our students. Students or English learners do not know too much about English language differences between English speaking countries or the differences within the same English language in the same English speaking country, herein this paper is a try to talk about the effect of place or geography on language taking the classical Arabic and Libyan spoken language as example whenever needed.
