English Accents | American & Australian Pronunciation Differences

In this lesson, I'll introduce you to Allan! He's an American 🇺🇸 and he happens to be my brother-in-law!! When we filmed this video, Allan had just arrived in Australia for the very first time... And was feeling confused about some of the Australian slang words he had been hearing!

In his FIRST EVER YouTube appearance, he helped me to demonstrate some of the pronunciation differences between the American & Australian English accents!
You'll probably learn some new words too!

Youre welcome. I actually did the correct way we pronounce them, the lady in the vid has more british than Australian. As someone with a strong accent, this is how us thicker accented people pronounce em

[EricVenan]

I think that australian accent is very beautiful, sounds like UK accent but in the soft way, american accent is more comum

[dabakes]

Fellow American here. I have pronounced niche as "neesh" for my whole life and now I feel odd because everyone else always says it like "nitch". Sorry patriots, but I have to side with the Aussies on this one.

[mounir]

Thank you for sharing the English Accents between the American and Australian Accent.

The Aluminum/Aluminium thing has an interesting backstory. The scientist who discovered aluminium was American and named it aluminum. The scientific community suggested that it be called aluminium instead to fit with the other "-ium" elements, which he agreed with. Then a salesman selling aluminium siding looked at the two words and preferred the "-um" version and marketed it as "aluminum siding" in America. Henceforth Americans called it aluminum.

[mihai]

It seems that many French loan words like "entrepreneur" or "niche" have kept their original French pronunciation in Australian and British English.

[pinco_pallo]

I've just realised that I've been learning a mix of different pronunciations. Haha! So weird! 😱🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺

[aparecidoferreiravais]

Hello Emma, ​​your classes are incredible, I have increased my level of English thank you very much and have a beautiful week

[MrAhmedAlnami]

Dear Emma,

Thank you very much for such a good lesson. Your pronunciation is so obvious and I think it's close to the British accent, which is my favorite accent despite the fact that I've learned the American English and studied in the US.
In my view, I think the most differences in English pronunciations depend on how vowels are pronounced in different countries, as well where to put the stress in the words.
Thank you very much for such a great video!

Hi Emma, I'm a woman from Mexico, during the day I speak 3 languajes, Spanish, Frech-because I marriet a Frech guy, then english because my neighbour is from USA and I speak english with her, but sometimes is hard to keep my level of english with her, and I've just notice that I have learnt british english and sometimes my friend corrects me. I thougt i was wrong but in fact is the accents. Congrats I love your chanel !

[Ieltsadvantage]

Hello Emma.

Chris here from IELTS Advantage. Great channel. Great to see so many English teachers doing their on thing on the YouTubes :)

Just wanted to thank you personally for this video as many of my students struggle with American and Australian pron.

This is going to come in really handy for IELTS listening practice.

Thanks again

Chris

[SalvatorePisanu]

The BEST video ever... this prove that English is not only A or B, and that I can pronounce something different even I am not native English LoL Love you both guys.. amazing!!!

[toniarnold]

Listening to your Australian and American conversation is very
interesting. It’s different to the pronunciation in New Zealand, where my
sister lives. Thank you!

[jamesnoonan]

I love hearing the different pronunciation of words between two english-speaking speaking countries..our cultures may be different but we are connected through our language

[ДаниилСкарин]

Very interesting. Thank you Emma and Allan! I found that my English this is mix consist from british australian and american words. Probably, it's because I watch and listen English speakers from different countrys. I enjoy your videos.

[daniasounbli]

It's my first time hearing the Australian accent .. I feel like it's very close to the British accent

[caironato]

Here in Brazil English teachers correct me when I say "hot". But now I know I was speaking Australian English...😁😁
Thanx Emma... more of these pretty cool vids, please!👏👏👏👏👏

[tuukutuuku]

i have never once heard "Niche" said his way, and i've liven my entire life in California XD

[suzanesuzane]

Hello Emma, I prefer Australian accent because it looks like British English thank you for your great video
