I speak a mixture of British, American, and Australian. In my country I learned British English, moved to the U.S. and learned American English, now I’ve been living in Australia and have picked up some of the Australian English.

As an Aussie that is not a 'bogan', most friends and work colleagues do NOT say half of the words as portrayed here. We get a lot of British media here and we also have a lot of connections that still exist.
I agree with the slang generally, but I do wear trousers, we have a block of flats and everybody here has enormous exposure to both US and UK terminology.

Aussie here. The man in the picture was wearing pants or trousers, not trackies. (Trackies = tracksuit top/pants.) We used to call apartments 'flats', and still do to some extent. We use the same naming conventions for floors as the UK. Ground, first, second etc. And we don't always call a toilet a dunny 😅 We also say loo, or occasionally bog if we're among friends. Esky was a brand name that became a general term for that kind of item.

[johnfitzgeraldkennedy]

I’m a Colombian person and when I started learning for first time I feel in love with British accent. Everyday I practice my English only with British videos. It’s so elegant for me.

[leonardomunevarcastillo]

That’s quite interesting to me because I have learned English in Australia but I love British accent so my English journey has been putting myself into both accents 😅

[ramirogutierrez]

I lived in Melboure for 2 years time ago, and they used also "trousers" word.

[ZarlishKiani-mx]

[tbtovwx]

[shezza]

I was born in Australia but spent a few years as a kid in the uk and eventually after a few more countries returned to Australia and as my mother was English I say both ways depending of who I’m with but understand both.

[MollieGFilms]

My mum has American heritage and part of my family lives in Wisconsin, I live in the UK and I must say I have a bit of an American accent lol! This was an awesome video I loved hearing the dialects between the accents ❤.

[RenotSemaj]

Half and half, I'm a Kiwi. We would have to add, Jandals (Flip Flops), and Chilly bin (Esky)

[Lauraabreu]

I mean flip flops 🩴 are like thongs for your toes so it’s very valid 😂

[joshuagrenald]

I'm not a native English speaker, so I use to mix up accents. When I am stress or nervous I tend to have a more caribean/latin american kinda accent, but if I'm more relax and well into the conversation my accent then morphs into a more american/brittish accent. Depending on the topic or moment I can swich to a more american or brittish accent. Maybe is the occational aussie word, but is weird on me as the australian influence is week on my speech almost non existant.
Thanks so much for the video, and remembering this stuff if very important if you want to travel to the UK or Australia, even if you are just interested in the culture and else. Simple but useful. Well done!
