British English is used by more people but American English is more standard

Learn both!
"American English" and "British English" are different in a number of ways (spelling, preferred expressions/word choices), but they are completely mutually intelligible and if you learn one, you will still easily be able to talk to people who speak the other.
Within American English or within British English there are many different regional varieties with different accents and common expressions as well. There is no such thing as an official "standard" English.
In my opinion, all varieties of English are equally great. If you're just starting out, just learn whatever variety of English most interests you, or is most commonly spoken in your community/among people you know. You can always learn more about the other varieties of English later on! :)
