Yes, that is a good start. You must be aware that American spelling is different from others. But it will not cause you problems, unless your intention is to go to the UK, Australia, New Zealand or other non-US English country to live.

This reminds me (again) of that discussion about libre albedrío:
https://forum.language-learners.org/vie ... t=Albedrio
The RAE corpus is a mixture of written sources from all over the Spanish- speaking world . The othe corpus is based on spoken American English.What are you trying to do here?
The Santa Barbara corpus looks interesting:
"Parts 1-4 of the Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English (SBCSAE) are now available, for a total of approximately 249,000 words. The Santa Barbara Corpus includes transcriptions, audio, and timestamps which correlate transcription and audio at the level of individual intonation units."
