How To Speak Australian 

when people try to do an australian accent they just sound bogan

Zoe sounds like Kath from Kath and Kim when she does an Aussie accent

Australians don't always say gday mate we also say hello dickheads

tip for speaking Australian! - speak in a normal English tone or accent but when you speak words such as up or my or anything ending in a y basically, end higher. not like extremely high, just a little higher than the syllable before

I used to live in England Wolverhampton but I moved to Australia when I was five I'm currently 11 and I have heard some of those words but I haven't heard most of them love you

My dad and my nan say a lot of these words, some I haven't heard of but most I have. There's also 'piss' or 'grog' (which is beer/alcohol) and 'clacker' (which is your bum) and 'tucker' or 'bush tucker' (which is food/food you'd find in the bush)

Ok there's heaps here that just aren't used unless you're from the bush haha We say mate a lot. And yes thongs are flip flops, but we call your 'thong' a g-string. Some more commonly used words/phrases are: 'Servo' - gas station ('I just need to go to the servo on the way') 'Arvo' - afternoon ('Come back this arvo') 'Bloody hell' - what, no way!/shit/damn it ('Bloody hell look what you've done') 'Chuck a sickie' - call in sick to work/take the day off work ('I might just chuck a sickie') 'Good onya' - well done [can be sarcastic] 'She'll be right' - it'll be ok 'Air con' - air conditioner ('Can you turn the air con on?') 'Barbie' - Barbecue/grill ('We're having a barbie for dinner') 'Brekkie' - Breakfast ('Do you want some brekkie?') 'Crook' - Ill or sick ('Georgia's crook at the moment') 'Cuppa' - cup of tea/coffee ('Come over for a cuppa') 'Mozzie' - mosquito ('I got bitten by a mozzie last night.') 'Sanga' - sandwich ('Do you want a sanga?') 'Smoko' - coffee or tea break ('Smoko time.') 'Stubbie' - bottle of beer ('Hey mate you want a stubbie?') 'Yewy' - U-turn ('It's back that way, chuck a yewy')

I'm from Melbourne and we say some things like that. I've lived my whole life in Australia and we rarely say any of those words. We use the same words as people in the U.K.

Who's watching in 2016

I'm Australian but I have never heard any of these words except for thongs and fanny, this was so funny

we also say ''dart'' for ''durries'' and we don't say ''down to the donnie'' we say go out back to the donnie'' because we used have our toilets outside obviously in a box. Zoe actually has a great Australian accent.

They're actually pretty good at the Aussie accents. Compared to every other British person i've heard try. Except half the time they sound Kiwi.

Some of those we use but u should of used the arvey witch means afternoon

this is hilarious watching them trying to speak like us aussies.

Yes

yeah i use it alot

This is outback Australian words. Or maybe even Western Australia. Plus anyone from Townsville. Represent.

I'm Australian and you guys sounded like you are from New Zealand. Most of those actually aren't used.

When Marcus laughed he went down Zoe went up then they swapped

I’m Australian and I don’t say anything like that except for thongs( shoes),

They would make a good couple 💖

Yeah all of them

im Australian and we use those words 24/7 and when u dint know wht uru ment i was like WHAT! me and me family say uru all tue time and shiela and im 11

I'm Australian and you guys sound so much more kiwi than Australian

good to learn

Go 🇦🇺 like if your an Aussie

Zoe's accent is really good but they both sound a bit more Kiwi than Aussie.

Any other Australian's watching this?

How in the Fuck do we live in the 21st Century and People from outside Aus think these are slang words.. Ive lived in Melbourne for 20 years and have never heard anyone say Hoo-roo or a fucking Sheila

haha im australian and you guys sounded kiwi

Jesus you guys sound like your from Kath and Kim

i'm Australian like if you are aswell

Literally 5% of the world can do a proper Australian accent, the other 95%attempt and sound bogan Australian (There is literally only one person who has that accent (Steve Irwin)) or they sound kiwi..

I'm Aussie. I probably use about half of the words but not regularly. I always say G'day, it's kinda a habit lol, was pretty funny in America. Nobody says Struth or Hooroo unless they are impersonating Steve Irwin. We do say a lot of English things, like bollocks for example.

I never say G'day, Hooroo, Dunny, Sheila, Fanny, Durry (We call them ciggies) and yes, nobody says Crikey either.

It's so funny reading comments and seeing people write things like "I lived in Aus for 15 years and I never heard these words" come on people this is a country we're talking about! If you haven't been to every square inch of the place then you can't say that we do or do don't say these things. Some of us do, I know I say quite a few and I'm a born and raised Aussie but I also know others who have lived here their whole lives that don't say any of these it just depends on the people you meet and what they were raised with like any other country and their slang. So chill everyone and have a beer we all know that is something we Aussies are most definitely known for!

Sorry but not everyone in Australia sounds like they grew up in the outback :1

no one says any of those things unless they are a bogan.

This video made me laugh so much. I'm Australian and I didn't even know half the slang there omg

Can Australians please not come here, and say people don't use these words. There are more than 23,500,000 of us. You cannot talk for all of us. I have heard at least 1 person say every single one of those words here in city Perth, in the 17 years I've lived here.

The Brits are probs better at this than Americans

So, I just want to clear things up a bit, because there's a lot of "These words are stereotypes" and "I've never heard anyone use these words" in the comments. Yes, most people in Australia do not use a lot of these words. The typical "Australian Slang" is more often used in rural and remote areas, and since at least two thirds of Australia's population live in cities and large towns, most people don't use words like durrie, or fanny, or shelia. But to the people who are saying "I've lived in Australia my whole life and I've never heard anyone use those words," just remember that Australia is the biggest island in the world. The country covers 7.5 million square km (nearly 3 million square miles for those of you not using the metric system) and hosts a population of over 23 million people. In your lifetime, you will have only met and been in the comapany of a small portion of this population. So, to say that no one uses these words just because you've never heard anyone use them, doens't mean you are right. Out of those 23 million people, probably less than 5 million would use most of these terms on a day to day basis. However, because they are distinctive, and different from other cultures and countries, these slang words have been adopted as Australian culture. These words, along with the stereotypical "bogan" image, give us something to show our uniqueness. So yes, these are considered slang words, but they are not commonly used by most of our population. If anyone wants to discuss/argue this with me in the comments below, I would be happy to, but in a civilized manner.

They sound more New Zealand to me. I'm Australian, and everyone I know doesn't use any of these words!!😂😂

And there is no such thing as a drop bear. It could be a koala!

Ok first off I'm Australian and this video is made with the assumption that all Aussies speak in that weird ass accent and we use that so called Aussie slang. Most Aussies speak normally and I have no clue what the percentage of those "words" mean. I just hate how every one out of Australia has the assumption we all speak like we all live in the outback!!

Most of those are used in rural australia. A girl from england came to my school and she had NO idea what we were saying at first.

No one says heru or how ever you spell it or sheila and not all of us speak like that

Im from Australia and you are putting on a New Zealand accent ..

crikey mate you couldn,t speak aussie if ya fucken life depended on it

I like think it's funny how Australians are getting offended by this saying not everyone sounds like this, but this is literally what Americans go through all the time. people either use a hillbilly accent or a Californian accent and it's really annoying.

You sound more New Zealand than Australian 😂😂

I actually think Zoe sounds better with an australian accent ...

i'm Australian and there are some people that use those words and some that don't. it all depends on the person. Anyone from Melbourne? Or am I lonely?

The words are used, but not generally. I don't tend to really hear people saying them, but that is probably because I don't live in the country. I use the words "betcha" and "thongs".

Almost none of those terms are used outside of the small or country towns. Basically the further away from the cities you get the more you hear (some) of those words. About 20 - 30 years ago you would have heard them more but basically only g'day, strueth, rele's and carked it are still common. However a lot of Aussies (pronounced oz-ee) just speak like British or American people with a bit of an accent. We do however tend to ask questions that don't need answering (how mad was she! how heavy is the rain?!) But yeah, Australia is a lot different than some people expect, but we like that ;p

I've never heard of some of those and I'm Australian

To be honest Australians don't sound like country but this video sure made me laugh XD

I think all the Australians watching this cried with laughter 😂😂😂👍🏼I'm Aussie

Hahah this was great guys! This words definitely are used in Australia but not by everyone, just people who live in the country or older generations hehe but well done! Zoella you're so good at it omg!

I'm pretty sure the most used words in Australia are; Smoko (recess or a break), mate, junkies, bogan and c*nt, idk if there are more common ones these are just the ones I hear often/everyday

4:26 Marcus sounds like his from New Zealand Ik I'm watching this in 2016😂

The way the world thinks we sound is like what we know bogans sound like xD

Are there any other Australians cringing while watching this?

Excuse me while I cark it my hair...

half of this word said we don't even use .

I'm Aussie and I use almost every single word on that list

Threw this whole video it sounded more new Zealand

I'm Australian and I do use majority of these words 😊

I am an Australian and we don't use some of that slang really we don't use any of it where I live. I live in Victoria, I mean we sometimes say gooday but rarely. And Zoie you almost sounded like a real Australian. Marcus keep try you probably won't get there but how cares.

WATCHING IN 2016... i came from doing homework lol like if you're in 2016 too lmao

Kaput is not Aussie slang, it's Dutch we just say it sometimes

no one says any of those especially the dunny one and hooroo but i know i am late but it was such a good video your accents are actually really good especially zoes marcus maybe some more work haha and we dont really say fanny either hehe love you both

We don't even sound like that By the way that's offensive to Australians

hoo-roo is not pronounced like that but I cant explain it in text :/

God i hate it when youtubers post vids saying "how to speak Australian" WHEN THEY AREN'T EVEN AUSTRALIAN AND SOUND NOTHING LIKE IT

well mate, I'm on my rellie's computer. I'm an Aussie. BTW: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's shonky (that means it's of poor quality . Try using NORMAL Aussie slang!

So many Australia's getting offended by this like chill ahahaha many people around the world who do not know Australians personally or have never visited would simply be going off what they hear in the media from people such as Steve Irwin, Crocodile Dundee (can't remember his actual name) and Rebel Wilson to name a few and in movies in particular the accent is exaggerated quite a bit, my friend from England says I sound really Australian but just like it would be for her with me thinking she sounds really British, we don't notice it. The video is all in good fun and I actually think Zoe sounded quite genuine at times, they're just having a go at it and trying it out and yes not all of the slang is used but there was only one word I have never heard before and others were variations. Just get off ya high horse, no one is sitting there saying this is how all Australians sound, your accent isn't that important I'm sure everyone has butchered another accent once in their life.

Nah. Many of those words are actualy used by either people in the bush (Outback) or just plain bogans in the city. On top of that the pronounciation is off. Heroo is not heroo. Its actually Hoo-Roo. Now fanny is not a word used like it is other places. Fanny in the USA is a rear end or an arse. A Fanny here in Australia is a Vagina. Most of these words are not used in the city or suburbs (in Sydney anyway, unless found in pockets) .

This is hillarious I was actually eating a snag watching this I was laughing so much

i'm Australian and i don't even know what half of these things meant, i think the world is convince that Australian's always greet each other goodaymate, call a toilet a dunny, i have never called the toilet a dunny in my life, thongs, flip flops i say both, i could go on about how ridiculous some of these things are, but i'm not going to, anyways we are not that different to every other place in the world

People in Australia would laugh if u used all those terms😂 I'm Australian and hardly use (or even know) a lot of those slag words/terms

First I can't believe of the amount of Aussie haters in the comments bc I always expected them to be super chill and kind like Canadians but apparently you guys get really offended and second there is no reason to get so offended bc honestly how were they supposed to know what Aussies say or not when they're British like there's no reason to get offended bc people also make fun of British and American slang and most of the time it's not even common slang so everyone just needs to chill

I laughed my head off watching this!!😂😂😂 I'm an Aussie and I thought they did pretty good on the accent👌🏻

Meh There Pretty Good, I mean as an Australian myself I think I can do better 😉 XD

Firstly woman only says 'mate' to men second of all we NEVER use Haroo

Barbeque: Barbie Snag can also be a sanga Beautiful: Beaut Lezza, stevo, jono, trev r some names

I know all the slangs except for one or two but I don't think I've ever used like at least half of them?? Do we all talk like that?

I'm not trying to be mean but I'm Australian and we don't speak different Americans sound different

Not hating but mates ur pronucing everything wrong except thong. 😂 Have a good one mate.

Im Australian, i've mabey ever used 2 of those words, but, um... just no

this is so offensive but absolutely hilarious XD the funny thing is, is that I use at least %80 of these words

Fosters and boomerangs. Kangaroo. Digeridoos, dingo babies, that's not a knife. Busted a plugger.

I grew up using all of those words, still use hooroo and strewth to this day but kaput is german.

We actually don't use most of these words

You guys are adorable 😂 Yes all of those words get used, but not by everyone. You'll read a lot of comments saying "I don't speak like that, no one does!" Those people simply haven't traveled around Australia. 😉 You both got really close with some of the words (and the sentence reading at the end was even closer!) But some of the words have a slightly different inflection. E.g. 'Kark it' - the 'i' in 'it' needs to be thrown away. It becomes more of an 'e' sound. And then say it as one word instead of two. So it becomes 'karket' with the same sound as 'market'. Over all though, well done! Some words were spot on! Great video 😃👍🏻

Stop laughing at what we say you two aren't even Australian so why laugh it's how we Australians are!

You got it wrong! It's pronounced "YEEEAAAH MOOOOOIITT"

Tbh only bogans speak like that, I'm from Sydney and no one here speaks like that 😂

the funny thing is that we don't even say half of this shit XD

I'm Australian! I live in Victoria Melbourne anybody else?
