Absolutely! We all speak English but the Aussies, Yanks and Poms have different accents!

And in Australia, both males and females wear A PAIR OF THONG in summer.
LOL

Cheers from an Aussie currently in Phuket.

Very. You have to keep in mind that there are many varied accents within those three groups as well.


Jamie
Yeah the generic Australian accent tends to go up at the end in a questioning tone, but obviously there are regional variations too.

The language is basically the same with a few variations but I think most of the time everyone understands each other.

yep

Yes, without a doubt.

Yes. Americans often have trouble with our dialect and quick talking. Not to mention Aussie slang..
Brits generally understand us better.

It's completely different from any American accent. Well spoken, educated Australians sometimes sound like some British people to the untrained ear, but British accents are usually quite different.


Bella4Logic
Yes, very different from American, slightly diff from British
