It is common knowledge that British and American English are quite different but, generally, you should be ok... Keep persevering as most Americans will try their hardest to understand you. But just in case, here is a selection of words that are used in both languages.
British --> American
pavement --> sidewalk
petrol --> gas
(car) boot --> trunk
(car) bonnet --> hood
what's up? --> how are you?
what's the matter with you? --> what's up?
