I'm happy with this video, I'm Brazilian and many of these words for me is difficult to pronounce, but after this video everything became easier! loved it ! Your videos are excellent!
Thumbs up, most videos about how Aussies speak have weird words I've never said in my life, but yeah i couldn't find one fault in this video. Great job!
Originally Cockney English but lived in Australia for years. I still cannot pronounce “TH” instead it’s always “F” so “Things” would be pronounced as “Fings”. An embarrassing moment was asking for “Three” beers in a Brisbane Bar and the chick bar staff looked at me and said “You have to pay. These are not Free”
I can totally relate to this. I'm in Indian moved to Aus. Where I work the staff is full of Aussies and they always say "Fings" instead of "Things". I am so used to it that even now I say it in their way. But it's funny and something different.
I’m an Aussie and gotta say not many drop the “th” to an “f”. We have a friend that does it, and the friends around him laugh along and imitate him. He is a source of humour for the rest of us 🤣
I'm german but half my family is British. I grew up in germany, went to german schools and had to attend the english classes although I speak english fluently. I had this huge argument with my english teacher once cause she insisted on fully pronouncing cupboard as it is written and I was like "woman! Noone says that! Please stop!"
@@icebaby6714 Not exactly. I am from Germany too, hi btw, but we don't pronounce every single letter! For example...the r at the end of a word we don't always pronounce...
Yeah, I'm from the midwestern US as well, and I think the only one I'd disagree with was "Properly." Everything else was almost spot on for how we say them around here too.
In West Australian English it is... Cl-oh-ths Aah-sk't (k is really short sometimes not pronounced) Ig-zak-ly or Eg-zak-ly (depending on whether it is in the middle or end of a sentence) Prop-ly Prob-ub-ly li-brery feb-you-air-ry labra-tory or lab Cuh-b'd Chok-l't dif-r'nt Wenz-day we normally stress the start of the sentence like the English do then we either take all the vowels after that out or make them really short.
Wow. English isn't my first language so I had learned to pronounce the words right! Sooo to sound like an aussie I have to forget everything I've been thought about pronunciation 😂 greattt
I'm from South Florida, U.S. and I use all of those "pronunciations" lol. I try and speak with as much clarity as I can but in a casual conversation I certainly would use all of those haha
Hello, i listened to your podcast interview with foreign students. I just thought if you do a vlog about 1 day life of foreign student life in australia, it would be very helpful. people who is interested to study abroad, always want to see real student life.
Thank you. Great video. This is very useful. When I first visited Australia I used the words perambulator =pram, budgerigars = budgies etc. The locals stared at me in shock. Haha. Since then and thanks to your videos I adapted the informal/shorter versions.
I remember during my Latin lesson we learned the word omnibus which means "for all" so it is a transport vehicle for everyone. Bus is short for omnibus.
Im from germany and i learn english in school. The teachers also pronounce for example wednesday like wenzday, but this is actually normal in english, so i think its not especially aussie english, but ok, the most teachers in germany mispronounce many words and cities (especially in australia) and we learn a mix between british english and american english, because i learn movie (film, movie), which is i think american english and in britush english its film, but i learned fridge (fridge, refridgerator), which is british and the american word is refridgerator. If im wrong, let me know;)
Hello Pete. This is pro-bly the best amazing video I həve ever came across. Thanks mate. Catcha y ( 1 ) On Wenz - day i'm going to the li - bry to return 2 books.
I'm from Kentucky,USA but I was raised in Alaska for the first 8yrs of my life so I have a mix of accents and I say a lot of these the same such as library and probably
Now for most of these, I may just be different, but as a native speaker myself, here's how I personally say the shortened words: 1. Cloves (like the spice). 2. Agst (with a almost silent g sound). 3. Very similar to how "Aussie English" would say it, but instead of "ig-zak-ly" I'd say "egg-zak-ly". 4. Unchanged; exactly the same as in the video. 5. Unchanged; exactly the same as in the video. 6. Li-bry 7. Although I do say "fe-brew-ry, I most often say "feb-bri" when talking fast. 8. Lab-or-a-tree. 9 Unchanged; exactly the same as in the video. 10. If I wanted to say "chocolate" then I'd say it the same as in the video, but usually I'd shorten it further to its slang-form and say either "chocky" or "chocko". 11. Unchanged; exactly the same as in the video. 12. Unchanged; exactly the same as in the video.
Subscribed + liked most of the videos. Thanks for providing us with all this information "m-oi-te" 😛 im an indian ,not a native english speaker yet your videos are making it so easier for me to develop an accent. Thanks a lot again. Keep up the good work. 👍
I've been looking for someone like you since I arrived to OZ 4 months ago. You nailed it! It's funny how accurate you are. I still don't know how to pronounce Melbourne and I live herr lol. Subscribed!
OMG!! I really needed! I was wondering my ear got something wrong when you hear those words! Especially “cupboard” I only hear cabad 😂😂😂 I am glad to see this video to realise actually my ears were correct!
I'm a bit puzzled, but except for the Australian pronunciation of some sounds, all the words are actually pronounced like that. You just explained the difference between the English spelling vs. the actual pronunciation, not "mispronunciation" ;) Anyways, it's a nice video and I'm going to use it for my EFL class for Aussie English. Is there an Australian English Phonetic Chart somewhere, or do I need to make my own? :) Best wishes
Yeah, that's always confusing for my learners (most of them are Germans). Funny thing is that they use English words like "sweatshirt" in German as well but then they say "sweeter" to a "sweater". :) Edit: Thanks for the link, Kollege (as we'd say in Germany) ;)
I love this video. Those words are so weird sound LoL. But you know, in my country the teachers always taught us to pronounce the words as they were spelled. It was so weired, right. But this helps me spell thoses words correctly.
Aussie English Born in Australia, raised in Turkey/Australia, lived in Croatia/Sweden/China for many years and now trying to find my place in the cooperate world with a funny accent :)
@@AussieEnglishPodcast Indeed but it comes with the price. Trying to adopt to these cultures including the way English is spoken (simple words, slowly and super clear) did come at a cost. Now that I am back to Oz and getting job interviews (executive level positions), first question I get it is ""where are you from :-)))) You can imagine how important these lessons are to people like me.
brilliant~!! after this video I subscribed your lesson. Even my Aussie partner said your lesson is very good also You look so much better without your beard. Appreciate your efforts
Really good and to be honest very similar here in New Zealand, I am interested in finding out why some OZ females I have met pronounce ASK as AKS, do you about this?
Aussie female here. It's not just women that do that, men do as well. That's not actually slang or an accent, it has to do with their English education. Some people are from areas where they just don't speak as well as others. "Aks" is a common mispronunciation when it comes to people in lower wealth areas.
@@mfg1993-br An American says it as Wednesday doesn't mean that it's correct but if you look up Wednesday in a dictionary, its correct pronunciation is ˈwenzdā.

Friend: "Do you want to learn the US english or the British english?"
Me: "Aussie english."
That is exacly me😂
Me too 🤣
ig-zak-ly!
this is too fun to learn.
I really enjoy it.
good one
Me too.. I grew up with Aussie TV series 😄
I'm not even a native English speaker and i've been pronouncing these like an Aussie the whole time lmao 😂
Same mate!
Same for me. The full pronounciation just felt off for me so I said those words in an 'easier' way. Didn't notice until now that it's an aussie thing.
Never thought about the pronunciation of those words, you were spot on, very amusing.
Aussie English
I’m kind of stunned. All these years and I’ve been pronouncing things wrong! Not upset about it, proud of my aussie accent.
@@AussieEnglishPodcast when you kept on saying ast it sounded like bleep lol
7. It is said, by almost everybody... Febry. The months are: Janry Febry Mahtch Ayprl May June Jly Augus Septemma Octoba Novemba Disemba
Thanks for this!
I was like, “Who the fuck say Fe-bew-ry”
This is why as a Kiwi living in Aus, spelling things phonetically is a lost cause.
I’m British and we say - Feb yu eh ree
I'm happy with this video, I'm Brazilian and many of these words for me is difficult to pronounce, but after this video everything became easier! loved it ! Your videos are excellent!
Whoa a Brazilian compatriots here as well 🇧🇷

I just realised how Aussie I am
Thumbs up, most videos about how Aussies speak have weird words I've never said in my life, but yeah i couldn't find one fault in this video. Great job!
Same lol!
Im australian and i honestly dont even realise i say this
Softsealx same 😂
Literally my entire slang

Nace Paly
seems v anger
@Nace Paly That is because in German they pronounce every written letter in a word.
Arrogant teachers are the dumb ones.
Did you attend German lessons then? Or did you spend it in the cup board?
@@icebaby6714 Not exactly. I am from Germany too, hi btw, but we don't pronounce every single letter! For example...the r at the end of a word we don't always pronounce...
Watching from BAGUIO City Philippines.mabuhay I learned little and hopefully more.Godbless sir Aussie.
I'm in Michigan, USA, and we use these pronunciations but with our traditional, Midwest vowel sounds. BTW, your vids are great!
I was about to say something like that
Yeah, I'm from the midwestern US as well, and I think the only one I'd disagree with was "Properly." Everything else was almost spot on for how we say them around here too.
Cincinnati here, although I lived In Brisbane. I love these videos
In West Australian English it is...
Cl-oh-ths
Aah-sk't (k is really short sometimes not pronounced)
Ig-zak-ly or Eg-zak-ly (depending on whether it is in the middle or end of a sentence)
Prop-ly
Prob-ub-ly
li-brery
feb-you-air-ry
labra-tory or lab
Cuh-b'd
Chok-l't
dif-r'nt
Wenz-day
we normally stress the start of the sentence like the English do then we either take all the vowels after that out or make them really short.
Another one: territory as “terra-tree”
you are ruining our formal standard English that we spent years trying to learn lol
Pete, this episode is amazing !!
That's a sound idea . I mean that way of teaching . Just keep it up .
Woah I never actually realised how much we shorten stuff
Mate, I love hearing this stuff on youtube. We need more Aussies on youtube. Make RUclips Australian Again
Never thought about this until I was talking about the word "comfortable" with a native speaker of Japanese.
It's very helpful that's what I was looking for actually... Thanks a lot.. #If_possible get me some more videos like this type...
Chan..yongbok... what have you done to me!!🤣🤣
Finding stay comments xD but yeah what have they done to us
I am here only for them 😂😂
YESSS
Easier and more efficient.
Useful video~ thank u.
i’m not even aussie but i realized that i use all of these :0
Good work as always! These are very common questions that spanish speakers have. Thanks for the videos :D
I am from nepal and it really helps me to improve my english pronunciation .

Perambulator? Never heard of that.
Where are you from? Who actually does use the word perambulator? Never heard of that before.
@@plan4life Pram is a synonym of perambulator. British: Older Use/old fashioned: a baby carriage; pram.
Laboratory for me (a native Aussie) is LaBORatry
I believe the LAB-ra-TORY is more of an American pronunciation
I say it as "Lab-ra-chree"
LaBORatry is exactly how most Aussies pronounce it!!
thank u for 😄😄😄 im from Philippines and i'm learning how to speak aussie cause it sounds so cool😍 your video are awesome

Nobody calls anymore lol, it’s all txting

Could someone recommend me any good serie so as to practice Aussie English?

As a science student I can confirm the pronunciation of laboratory and honestly most of the time it's closer to labritry which is so lazy lol
hahaha, that sounds like lavatory. It's lab-ra-tory mate!
I pronounce it lab- rit- tory ( Sydney here)
You just solved my greatest Aussie language mystery with "cupboard" and the little French I am couldn't thank you enough.
That's why i liked the OZ accents! Short and fast! 💚 Thanks 👌😄

I've noticed 'Mischievous' is sounded by both adults and kids sometimes as 'Mischievious'. Not too sure if to follow the suit? Thanks
I grew up in Tennessee, and we had ALL of the same pronunciations you mentioned!
Probly is now probs 😂
Bloody hell this video is so spot on it's not even funny. Just going through all the words is exactly how I say em.
These are great job
I’m not even a native, I’ve always said these things like this though.
You make it sound soooo easy, that's cause you are a good teacher, mate! ;-)
Oh wow. And here I was all worried that I was losing my Aussie accent by living in another country, but now I know that I’m all good.
great vid , sometimes people mispronounce words because of how they were educated so sometimes that gets passed down too.
I hadn't ideia that we could say cupboard differently. That was cool, thank you.
it really helps me alot thanks, you just made me subscribe😁😁

Good to know Sir 👍
2. "arsed" is how it sounds.
Btw different and chocolate and Wednesday are pronounced properly like you say and transcriptions also show that. That's not mispronunciation.
Pronouncing Wednesday as wensday is actually correct. d is silent for this word. Therefore, it is not mispronounced.
@@mfg1993-br An American says it as Wednesday doesn't mean that it's correct but if you look up Wednesday in a dictionary, its correct pronunciation is ˈwenzdā.
