one of the most the most asked questions i get in my one -on -one sessions

and on instagram tick tock

and youtube is how can i start to understand the aussie accent

and look honestly it's a fair question the australian accent is as unique and proud as our people

hello everyone and welcome to

or welcome back to aussie english with amanda I'm Amanda obviously I've got my lovely logo here at the back

so to those who don't know I'm a certified English teacher specializing in Australian English

and all of the really fun things that it comes with slang pronunciation accent

and just the all the cultural stuff one of the most the most asked questions

I get in my one -on -one sessions and on Instagram TikTok

and YouTube is how can I start to understand the Aussie accent?

Easily, hands down, the most asked question.

So, and look, honestly, it's a fair question.

It really is.

Like I'm not mocking the question at all.

The Australian accent is as unique and proud as our people.

And I say proud because if you ever happen to say something

that seems to be maybe the wrong thing about Aussie English online people are very quick to point

it out very quick and very quick to abuse as well especially on Facebook

so I recently shared a short video a reel

or a short on YouTube about how the slang word for petrol is petty

or petty as this is something I actually grew up saying on the mid north coast of New South Wales

and people did not like that at all what the hell is petty.

So yes, it can feel like a whole new language at first.

And look, it is a dialect of English after all, isn't it?

So today I'm going to be sharing with you my

five -step method to help you start navigating the Aussie accent with confidence.

There is also a free downloadable guide that goes with this video, so you can download that in the description.

It's all laid out there too.

So let's get into it.

Step one, get familiar with the R and T consonant sounds that Australians use.

So Australians speak with a non -rhotic accent.

It's just a fancy way of saying that we don't pronounce the r

or the r at the end of words like in car or tar.

So car becomes something like this k -a -h or in the middle of words we also don't say it either.

Think of start, alarm, and internet.

So there are some exceptions to this rule.

When you have a r sound and the next sound either in a word

or at the beginning of the next word is a vowel sound, we actually need to say the r.

So that is why I don't say we never say it because we do.

So think about the word pronounce,

Australia, rotic, the sound not the spelling, r -o, rotic.

Free, these are all examples of when r is followed by a vowel sound in the word.

So what happens when you have a word ending in r and the next word starts with a vowel sound, so word boundaries?

We use something called a linking r, we're just using linking.

So I have done a YouTube video on this.

It was my very first YouTube video, so don't judge.

It will be linked up top and in the description as well.

So, for example, car plus alarm becomes car alarm.

Car alarm.

Flour and sugar becomes flour and sugar.

Flour and sugar.

Water outside becomes water outside.

Water outside.

We also use something called an intrusive R, and this is actually where we insert a r sound

when a word ends in certain vowel sounds like or r and schwa

when the next word starts with a vowel sound we insert an r in the middle of those two words

so i've done a youtube video on the intrusive r

and also another video on the other intrusive sounds yeah where

and a little bit about r in there as well for example

i saw it becomes i saw it i saw it you can see my mouth here.

Draw a picture becomes draw a picture.

This day spa is nice.

You can hear that R.

Now for the letter T or the T sound, Australians often use something called a T flap or flapped T.

So this is where your T changes into something like a light D sound.

So it's not a hard D like you're hearing dog.

I won't get too much into it

because I also have a whole lesson about this which will be linked again up top and in the description.

So for example, water becomes water.

water, party, party.

In the more cultivated accent the T is sharper, I call that the true T, whereas in the general and broad accents it's that flapped sound,

water, party, water, party.

We also tend to use a glottal stop.

When a word ends in T and the next word starts with another consonant, we stop the sound here from getting out.

So for example, can't believe it, can't believe it, can't believe it.

Don't go outside, don't go outside, don't go outside.

Let me see it.

We're going to use an informal contraction here, combine let with me, let me.

Let me see it, let me see it.

We're also using an intrusive why here, see it.

That's in that video I was just talking about before with the intrusive sounds.

So these consonant shifts are part of the main key to sounding natural and also to understanding fast Aussie speech.

Step number two, understand

Aussie vowels and tone.

So vowels are the heart of the Australian accent

and they can get longer and more nasal the more broader the accent gets.

Even diphthongs tend to be a little bit longer as well in Australian English.

Like, for example, rain, a,

rain, fine, I, fine, own, owe, own.

Now, in the broad accent, these can actually change completely.

So, fine with the I diphthong can sound like fine, noice, and it's more nasal, noice.

The O diphthong is actually pronounced more in the back of the throat with flatter lips compared to American English.

Think about oh, oh, it's pronounced here.

Americans, oh, oh no, oh.

See how it's more rounded.

We say oh.

I'm probably going to butcher the British pronunciation of this sound.

100

It's really difficult for me because you start off with a schwa sound.

101

Oh, oh.

102

Obviously, that's very, very very broad it's not singling out any specific british accent

103

but um yes you have oh oh oh in younger generations this sound is actually changing a little bit

104

and it sounds like an r is added on to the end

105

which is why you get all those memes no no

106

which is more nasal

107

and basically what's happening is the tongue is almost lifting to create

108

this ruh sound at the end of oh oh it's

109

it's rare you'll find anyone over the age of 30 doing this sound

110

but it is changing as much as i don't like to admit it

111

so as i said nasality also increases with the broad australian accent

112

if you want to sound more broader

113

which people do people come to me to sound more broad add this nasal sort of sound.

114

It means speaking through your nose.

115

Think, hang on, hang on.

116

How are you, mate?

117

G'day.

118

So in Australian English, like we just talked about in part one, we don't always say the R.

119

So that also includes at the end of the word, which we looked at with car.

120

But when you have the E -R or O -R spelling, we tend to add a schwa sound on the end.

121

So like colour, water, water.

122

I've done a whole video on the schwa sound as well

123

so that will also be linked for you up the top and in the description.

124

So learning and understanding these nuances does take time

125

but focusing on those vowel sounds

126

and practicing the mouth positions will help your ear adapt to the sounds around you

127

or spoken English around you as well as help improve your own pronunciation.

128

And if you do want a complete roadmap to mastering Australian pronunciation, check out my all -in -one signature e -course, Mastering Australian English.

129

It's designed for international students, migrants, and professionals living in Australia or planning to move to Australia who want to speak clearly, confidently, and naturally.

130

Inside, you'll find over 150 video lessons on every Australian sound,

131

over 3300 pronunciation drills, detailed vowel and consonant tutorial videos, lessons on connected speech, word endings and Australian culture.

132

Plus you get six months of live group calls with me, community support through a Facebook group and lifetime access.

133

It is literally everything you need to finally understand the Australian accent,

134

fix common pronunciation issues, and feel confident in every conversation, social or professional.

135

If you're serious about sounding natural in Aussie English, this is the course for you.

136

The link, again, is in the description.

137

And if you've watched this part of the video and you're interested and you use the code ACCENT10,

138

that's ACCENT10, you'll get 10 % off just for watching this video

139

Step three is exposure to Australian media.

140

So to truly get your ear tuned, you need immersion.

141

I cannot count the number of people who have told me when I've asked them, do you watch any Australian shows, movies, podcasts, documentaries?

142

They say, no, when I get home from work, I just want to watch something in my own language.

143

And I get it.

144

I do the same in Hindi.

145

But if you're only watching content in your own language or sticking to American Hollywood movies and shows,

146

of course you're not going to understand the Australian accent.

147

You need immersion.

148

So that means podcasts, TV shows, movies, documentaries, social media videos, even just watching this is going to help.

149

So the radio as well.

150

You could be driving to work, switch the radio on.

151

Anything audio, you name it.

152

So any of these things is going to help expose yourself to the Australian accent and help you understand.

153

My personal favorites of Aussie shows so far are Utopia and Fisk on ABC iview and Netflix.

154

The Newsreader is on ABC iview.

155

Bluey, that's bloody everywhere pretty much.

156

Also reality TV is really really great too as it's usually the least scripted compared to TV shows or movies.

157

So it is a little bit scripted but it's the most natural.

158

With reality TV you can really hear when someone's natural speech, intonation and vocabulary come through.

159

I actually have a free list of listening recommendations which again I'll put in the description for you.

160

I also have a few short videos here on YouTube of other recommendations as well

161

so choose whatever medium you want to use and then you shadow

162

and if you don't know what shadowing is it's a really really powerful technique where essentially you try

163

and copy a speaker's words and speech patterns.

164

This method not only improves your speaking skills but it also enhances other critical aspects of English like intonation,

165

stress, pausing, pronunciation, listening and reading.

166

So there are actually two ways to do this depending on how much time you have.

167

So the first one is no pausing.

168

Listen to an audio or video recording.

169

You'll have to do it a few times, read the transcript, all the captions,

170

and then try and repeat at the same time as then without pausing.

171

So this method is really, really great for quick practice sessions when you're on the go.

172

And it really can be done in just a few minutes a day.

173

And the second way is with pausing.

174

So you listen to an audio or video recording

175

and then pause after each line or each segment that you want to copy.

176

And then you copy their pronunciation, their tone, their stress patterns, any pausing they might do.

177

And you do that for each line.

178

You can even record yourself and compare the two.

179

So this approach allows for deeper practice and attention to detail.

180

Some tips for effective shadowing.

181

So definitely set a goal for each practice session.

182

So choose what you want to focus on.

183

Is it that you want to focus on pronunciation?

184

Is it the intonation, the way the voice goes up or down?

185

Is it stress patterns?

186

Is it the natural pausing in between words?

187

So choose a goal.

188

Then practice regularly to see continuous improvement in your fluency and comprehension.

189

This actually trains you to improve your listening.

190

It trains you to hear and reproduce linking R's, the flat T's, the nasal vowels, all in a natural setting.

191

It can also help you to remember vocabulary because of the repetition.

192

Plus, it's fun and effective.

193

Step number four, get used to Aussie slang and informal language.

194

To really help you fit in and understand locals, it's essential to learn about slang and colloquial expressions.

195

Don't be scared to try and incorporate some obviously

196

if they're appropriate for the workplace or not but try and incorporate some of these into your speech.

197

We are known for our unique vocabulary including things like hey going which is just how are you,

198

brekkie short for breakfast and avo short for afternoon.

199

Just be careful though because there is a very fine line between using slang and overdoing it.

200

So just see what feels comfortable to begin with.

201

It could just be asking someone how you're going.

202

That's it.

203

Build up that confidence to use it.

204

See what feels comfortable and then try some more.

205

Immerse yourself in Australian slang by interacting with native speakers, watching local content and reading Australian literature.

206

It could even be the newspaper.

207

Integrating slang will not only enhance your accent

208

but also make your speech more authentic and relatable and again it will help you to understand others.

209

And if you want to finally understand and use

210

Aussie slang confidently, check out my self -paced online course, The Aussie Slang Crash Course.

211

It's designed especially for international students, migrants and professionals who want to sound more natural and fit in with locals.

212

You will learn over 350 real

213

Aussie slang words.

214

idioms and phrasal verbs and you'll do that through videos, real life examples, quizzes and fun activities.

215

Putting a fun slang story challenge at the end where you'll get personalized feedback from me on your writing

216

and your audio recording.

217

So whether you're at work, at the shops or just having a chinwag with friends,

218

chinwag means short conversation, you'll know exactly what to say and when to say it.

219

Link, of course, is in the description.

220

And again, you can get 10 % off the Aussie slang crash course using the code ACCENT10 at checkout.

221

And step number five, speak with Aussies.

222

Speak with the people around you.

223

So in the real world, the final and most powerful step is real conversations.

224

Chat with the barista at your local coffee shop.

225

Try saying How are you going?

226

And use the answer phrase, not bad, when they ask you.

227

Try language exchange apps like HelloTalk or even Tandem.

228

Join a hobby group.

229

You can find them through meetup .com is a fantastic website to try and find hobby groups.

230

I recommend this website to everyone who asks me, how can I make friends?

231

Or how can I find people to practice with?

232

You can meet locals through events or social groups.

233

As I said, try Facebook groups.

234

So you can also have a look at networking events.

235

I think there's a website called eventbrite .com .au to try and find these kind of events.

236

Even after work catch -ups as well.

237

All of these different things are going to help get you into the local community.

238

Talking to Australians helps expose you to the different accents.

239

The broad accent, the cultivated accent, the general accent.

240

It helps expose you to informal language and slang.

241

It helps improve your listening skills, it helps improve your confidence and speaking skills.

242

These everyday situations help you test new vocabulary, your rhythm, your intonation, your pronunciation,

243

your slang in real world context.

244

And remember Australians are generally laid back and helpful.

245

Just show some interest, stay relaxed, be curious and respectful and people will be happy to help and they'll respond positively.

246

And if you want structured, supportive speaking practice, why not have a look at my group classes?

247

We practice real -life topics, work on improving your fluency and we work on pronunciation together.

248

You'll also get personalized feedback each lesson.

249

So whether you're preparing for work, socializing or just want to stop second -guessing yourself in conversations,

250

this is the space to build real confidence with Aussie English spots are limited

251

252

so step number one consonant rules r your non -rhotic r linking r intrusive r the t flap

253

القواعد في هذا الفيديو

أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:

التركيب	في الفيديو
المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله	is followed · will be linked · is actually pronounced
المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن	have done · i've done · you've watched
جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء	those who don · this which will · people who have

نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه

يستخدم المتحدث 55 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل don't, you're, you'll. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.

أصوات “th”: throat /ˈθɹoʊt/, rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, authentic /ɔˈθɛn.tɪk/, diphthong /ˈdɪpˌθɔŋ/
أصوات “sh” و“zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, sharp /ʃɑɹp/, exposure /ɪkˈspəʊ.ʒə(ɹ)/
الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, documentary /ˌdɒk.jʊˈmɛn.tɹi/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, incorporate /ɪŋˈkɔɹ.pɚ.eɪt/

أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:

/p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, pause /pɔːz/, pronounce /pɹəˈnaʊns/, podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, expose /ɪkˈspoʊz/
/v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, navigate /ˈnæv.ɪ.ɡeɪt/, everyday /ˈɛvɹiˌdeɪ/, supportive /səˈpɔɹtɪv/, positively /ˈpɑ.zɪ.tɪv.li/
تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: accent /ækˈsɛnt/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, alarm /əˈlɑɹm/, pronounce /pɹəˈnaʊns/, podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/
