  • hahaha...heeheehee hoehoehoe.......are you our judge ? NAH !! not even close !!

  • NOT FUNNY HOGAN !!! THATS A HOLE ..!!

  • I live in the US and I can understand you perfectly.

  • Hah nice video, as you probably know already, the American accept you used was more western (Texan-ish, no offense to any Texans, but it sounds like that from the Southern area).. Definitely not Californian or east coast. Also, I understand the Aussie accent, especially after watching Australian accents for quite some time now. Let me tell you, I love it and it's my favorite accent ever~

  • I'm American and I understand you clear as day :) In fact, I'm going to Australia in 2 months --- can't wait!!

  • I asked repeatedly for water at a restaruant in between Ala Moana and Waikiki, I had to eat there every night because the only other place I could find were drugstores or McDonald's.

    .

    I tried to tell a story they might understand: "tap water" "You know when you go to the sink and you turn on the tap and water comes out; I'll have a glass of that, please".

    .

    No idea what I'd said.

    I think I only ever drank coffee with my meals there.

    Cheers.

    from,

    del-boy

  • i went to usa for a holiday and its so true!! its because they dont have australian television over there so they arent used to our accent where as we understand them completely because we are so americanised, very funny and insightful at the same time!

  • Ha ha don't feel bad I'm from Texas and I just move to Aussie and I get the samething but it's all good though most of the Aussies I talk to likes my accent. I remember in high school we had a Aussie and everyone love his accent

  • C'mon Sheila , Show us your Growler. See, I'm American and I understand your form of English just fine. Must be the 20 or so generations of my family speaking that language gives me an unfair advantage.

  • @uncleavi2002 I'm Australian and I only understood half of that

  • I understood you perfectly fine and I am an American.

  • I've run into this before. It's not that you can't understand or pronounce American vowels, "r's", etc. It's that you feel astounded that others can't understand you, and you need others to mock Americans with you. Try immersing yourself in another culture that speaks a totally different language for a few years and then go back to your own hometown, and see if you don't think everyone talks strangely. It's the same effect.

  • Based on her imitation it sounds like she got a hold of an elderly woman from perhaps North Carolina. Vowels are very different in the South, and likewise it's very difficult for Southerners to pick up non-southern vowels. Just open your mouth up more and stretch that baby out. Aaaaaay! Also "a" in "water" is not rounded like it is in British. Once again, open it up.

  • To the people who cnt tell the difference between the australian and the british accent

    dont worry we cnt tell the difference between the canadian and american accent too

  • WARTA ! WARTA ! EVRYWHERE AND NOT A DROP TO DRINK,good clip,WHY do soooo many MERICANS have so much trouble understanding Aussie accent.

  • Comment removed

  • I've only really had one problem with my Aussie accent in the US - and that was when I tried to do an order through the drive through at Taco Bell....

  • I like how your alter American ego has a soft Southern drawl.

  • What's difference between Australian and British accent? Sorry, please clarify.

  • @supergod58 it's hard for me to explain, but I can't tell the difference between an American accent and a Canadian, so I guess we're even!

  • cute gal

  • @AustralianAreRacists fuck you cunt

  • @AustralianAreRacists You're a sad little tosser and I'm not even an Aussie!

  • YOU LYIN FUCK YOU ! 

  • @AustralianAreRacists Your just a complete ass, aren't you?

  • @AustralianAreRacists jog on you muggy kunt

  • Sorry honey , I'm not buying it. If you wanted to show your acting skills there was no need to bash Americans to do it.

  • @morgolvale lighten up. she is just poking a little bit of fun. She wasn't bashing Americans. Just many people have trouble understanding accents.

  • @morgolvale Yo, Morag, Get a life !

  • yea im also australian and i live in usa too they cnt understand me either lol

  • I can understand you too. There are some dumb people here, but usually not quite as dumb as other cultures make us out to be.

  • lol oh come on now, alot of americans aren't that hard of hearing im sure the people u encountered are just that dumb, i met dumb people from all over.

    Just flash some money in there face, that will get there attention !

  • I realize that this video is a bit older and I hope you've had better luck in getting people to understand you since you uploaded this. From this video I would recommend one thing. Remember that we are loud-asses. Project your voice. You have moments when you are extremely soft spoken and most of us aren't used to that. XD

    (sorry. please disregard earlier comment as I forgot to spell check).

  • @somethinguncreative I agree because I'm american and used to be soft spoken and people had a hard time understanding me and I have no accent. Because I understood her just fine once I turned the volume up lol

  • P.S. The Americans that do this are probably just messing with you because it's funny. An Asian with a Australian British Accent is fun to play with

  • @ericd727 you're probably just jealous because the Aussies share the same accent as the Liverpool types (those people reside in England.)

  • I get everything you're saying...who are you talking to. Hogan...like Paul Hogan...Duh.

  • Hey can u do a fob asian accent? You know how asians speak really funny when they dono English' like 'Me luv u looong time!'

  • but doesn't your English boyfriend have an American accent too? I thnk u take the accent of the place u grow up in.

  • this just make me think that you are stupid!

  • poor grammar

  • Australians are good at doing southern accents, for some reason. Try a generic (mid-western) accent. I think that ends up sounding more natural (if you can pull it off). Otherwise, it can sound really flat, and kinda creepy. Hugo Weaving in the Matrix is a good example of a generic, mid-western accent, that ends up kind of flat and creepy. I think it was intentional, though.

  • hmmmm.....avoid old people!!!!!!!!!

  • @Flash239 aye, cerz the old people always the ones making a whole load of ruckus.

  • when did communitychannel comment?

  • how dumb were these americans..? -_-

    i understand you PERFECTLY.

    sigh..this is ridiculous

  • Whoever can't understand you. Wow, they're dumb. I understood you just fine(:

  • hilarious! thanks so much for the quick laugh on an otherwise dreary day!

  • haha this is too funny! ;] go Oz!

  • I understood everything you said perfectly.

  • dont tease her because shes asian !!!! you raecess im asian too and i have australian accent, exept dotn nkow what accent this girl has :S

  • I totally relate with you. But in an opposite way :). I'm from the US and I recently went to Australia for my summer with my auntie who and my mom to visit our family out there cause im half aussie mate.. :) Well the funny thing is my auntie decided to teach how to speak with an aussie accent so people wouldn't laugh at me when i talked to them (cause she likes to mess with me) So I tried it and i failed. So I started to talk to people with a U.S. accent and they didnt ujnderstand me! :) lol. :)

  • everyone knows that hogan is spelled with '' A '' its a comon last name so dont say that american dont understand u i completely understand u and im american

  • Her face pisses me off

  • @LethalBanjo bloody oath!

  • Comment removed

  • @Geeljasjes where the hell did you live where Aussies could not understand your accent. 90% of our tv is American you think we could grasp it by now. Oh and cold is an underated beer you should have tried just once instead of ordering your coke again.

  • I'm American and I can understand you just fine.

  • @Justafox305 I lived in L.A for a year (im aus) and I never got any of this. We do use different words for some things, but accent wise never had a prob.

  • @brono25 Los Angeles isn't exactly like the rest of america..lol. Go to the midwest or the south and you will see they have trouble with some aussie sounds. They are used to the kind of Steve Irwin/Paul Hogan accent..which most aussies don't sound like.

  • We Australians say "war-dah" (like the Americans, but without the "er" sound). Only those with a posh/cultivated Australian accent say "war-tah".

  • hahaha, I had the same problem in Australia, even after spending 10-years there. I went into Bunnings once and asked if they were selling Foam. Fom???? I said; no, foam!!! What is Fom? I said; the stuff you put in a hardcase to pad it up! Oooohhh, Feeeuuuuuummmm! I had the same with the word "Coke". Can I have a Coke please? They'd always bring me a Cold, which is a beer. I ordered a Coke! Yes, here's your Cold. No, Cocacola!!! Oohh a Ceeeeuuuukkk. Bleedy hell.
  • @Geeljasjes Lmao, that's hilarious!

  • You must be meeting idiots only because I'm American and I understand you just fine.

  • you muust be fuckin with some dumb ass americans coz i can understand you JUST fine

  • @twilightfreak105 Yeah, you generalize a nation of over 300 milion people while using "coz" for the word because. You're a genius of the highest order, my friend. Your internet slang is a sign of laziness and a true sign of your character. By the way, dumbass is one word. Dumbass..............

  • @brin3535 wow we get it that person cant spell but still pretty much all the Americans i know can understand what there saying we hear wata even though there saying water and like what twilightfreak105 was saying we know what there saying so either shes over exaggerating or shes working with stupid people

  • @sjsgirls2013 You can't spell either! FUCK!! There, they're and their. Learn the difference between those words and get back to me.

  • lol i love the australian accent :D im british and i soo wish i had an aussie accent..it would be so cool :P

  • Did you have double eyelid syrgery???

  • could pass for a southern american with a speach impediment

  • This Thai girl thinks she is pretty, so she is making video showing off her pretty face.

    No doubt that American and British people look down Australians, because Oz accent is only spoken by a bunch of racist country pumpkins.

  • @2010LSK Racist Country Pumpkins? Ha! I'm using that.

  • ur "a"s need some work still

  • I luv ur accent :D iam an asian aussie and my friends say my accent is mixed up :P

  • You're speaking in a southern American accent, and not in an "accentless American."

  • LOL...then just go back to ur bloody Australia

  • I think its better when u sit closer!

  • That was sort of a midwestern accent from the area around Missouri. The Oz accent is easier to understand that the Mississippi accent.

  • I am American and i could understand you just fine... you must meat a bunch of idiots...

  • @TheApplegirl2  How do you "meat" an idiot! Tell me - sounds kind of fun.

  • yawn

  • keep the aussie accent

  • I am ready to slip it in!

  • nice lips !!!!

  • @mylifetotell004 , lol you can also call an old lady "An old chook"

  • yes well American's can't understand Brits let alone any other countries accents. American's really are very foreign to Australia and vice versa, and to the rest of the world. Whenever I go to america it reminds me of Russia and the soviet union during the 70's to 90's. Its pretty much America or USSR all the same if u ask me.

  • Lol, to me you sound a tiny bit New Zealander along with your Aussie accent.

    As for the term 'bogan', I wish it was known everywhere. It's a very useful word. Although, I suppose Americans have 'redneck'. I don't know what British people have for it. Actually, I'd like to know every country's term for a bogan...

  • @Minty210 Aus=bogan - Yanks/Americans=Rednecks - British=Poms or pommy

  • @Minty210 The closest English equivalent of bogan would probably be 'chav'

  • I had a Chineese American girlfriend a long time ago that I was big time in love with. So what did I do about it? She had a "beyond bitch" key chain and she was a bit mean so I dumped her -cause I was scared she was gonna dump me first. She was awesome for sex. So the moral of the story is do not be a dumbazz like me. Hang with the hoe until she dumps you. Even though she was mean she thought I was a good piece too. So she might have held on to me. Anyway do not get emo over a hoe.

  • I don't get it, I heard your "A" quite fine. You must be talking to some ignorant people. (Yes I am an American)

  • when she does an american accent she sounds like a redneck or so called texan, like O MY GOSH we do not like, sound like that like ha.

  • So your last name is Hogen. What's the big deal? ;)

  • @JonJon95GT You must be american, she did say 'Hog'a'n' Hogan, with an a. =]

  • Very cool, ty

  • I am from the USA and although born in the Deep South lived in the Midwest, Texas, other parts of the South, and California. Now I live in Europe. Europeans in Germany and Austria have either learned their English from direct schooling in England, or stays in the USA, or from English teachers that were either born in the USA or England. ALL of the Europeans that I know definitely tell me that AMERICAN accented English is MUCH easier to understand than a British accent.

  • Great video I enjoyed ! Thanks for sharing

  • Something that grinds on my ears, although might explain their difficulty in understanding your As, is that a lot of Americans seem to pronounce soft As as soft Es ... and the soft Es as hard As.

  • This southerner can understand you just fine. Hell I don't know any southerners that couldn't understand you. Australia ? Where's Australia ? Oh ----you mean that HUGE chunk of land a thousand miles or so West of New Zealand --- I thought they called that Oz. Last time I heard, Drop Bears were ravaging the land ....... you better run, you better take cover.

  • usa not like that aussie

  • oh my god...do we really sound like that?

    this is depressing lol.

  • Whats Australia. We're a fricken continent and the largest island in the world. Please americans with IQ greater than 106 please tell me you have globes of the world and not just of america.

  • Yes we do. And everyone I know, even the 5 year olds, know where Australia is.Maybe because Minnesota is the top scorer on tests in the United States. Southern states don't get as good of education as up north. The attitudes are a lot different. Not saying that everyone in southern US aren't smart, there's just more poverty there and government money not as focused on education as we are, cuz we get high ass taxes for our education.

    The person who said that is a troll, nothing more.

  • @beanybudd lol......I am living in minnesota now....they speak english really fast.....

  • haha cool. Really? I always thought we talk slow. I herd someone say that before. That's really interesting :)

  • @beanybudd hahaha.....still up?

  • still up. Got back from my high schools state hockey game...

  • @beanybudd

    lol, march madness~~~!~~~

  • @beanybudd ,hmm well when my dad was working in America (the northern parts) when he was young some guy asked him if he drove there from Australia lol.

  • @iluka81

    haha woww. That's impressive lol.Probably one of those cheese heads from Wisconsin. Brett Favre is ours!!! mwuahahaha

  • @MrNintoku -lol i know i would have said' Whats Australia? oh its that new colony we just built on the moon'..and when she goes 'oh really?' say 'naah sarcasm is the bodies natural defense to stupidity'. See if lady who doesn't know what Australia is can grasp that concept.

  • How does someone not know how to spell Hogan? I understood perfectly when you said the a sound, what?

  • What's Australia? No, love the videos darling!! I hope that we Americans, Aussie's , Canadians, Brits, & Kiwi's can all come together & not fragment any farther. Hell, the rest of the world & other ethnic groups seem to be uniting.

  • that happened to me. BTW, I am from HK.

  • US itself has different accents. Not all "native" americans use the word "water" as did girl above.

  • LOL it's a funny thing, the language barrier between the USA and OZ. I had the same problem when I was there.

  • u could try pinching your nose while speaking seppoese hahaha

  • Not all Americans have southern accents. XD

  • In addition to doin impersonations all the time,alls u gotta do is watch American TV Shows & Movies all the time

  • Sheesh, that's a pretty high price to pay though. : )

  • Seriously if you dont like USA... Leave.

  • @niceprince That's an ignorant comment. Although, I definitely plan to leave when I'm finished with college.

  • Are you a real mistress? What college do you go to?

  • A real mistress? Ha, no. I attend UT Dallas.

  • Go comets

  • lol I'm Ignorant? You don't see me going to other countries and bitching about them.

  • I didn't say that you are ignorant. I said your comment was. It's that kind of attitude that contributes to people not liking this country. It's not very tolerant or accepting. Instead of just telling people to leave, why don't we actually put some work into changing the country for the better? Every nation has flaws, and the U.S. is no exception.

  • WOO WOO

  • Rhart dont be a prick WHY DONT THEY GO BACK TO THERE COUNTRY HUH ?"??? EVER THOUGHT THAT CUSTOMEROFSHIT IS PURE FUCKING AUSTRALIANS WOOOOOOOOOO TAKE THAT U FUCKING ASIANSS SHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

  • that was...baffling

  • The Australian accent sounds a lot more like true English than the American accent, there have been a few times that even I, an Englishman, have been talking to an Aussie and just thought they were from Kent or somewhere :-p. Therefore I implore you must keep your accent, and if the Yanks don't understand ye, to hell with them :-p.

  • @dan892k7

    It's pretty obvious you just hate Americans.

  • HAHA!! Calm down, I was speaking jestfully, "to hell with them" doesn't actually mean I want you to burn in hell :-p.

    Lighten up, get a sense of humour! lol

  • It really shouldn't though mate. Seriously our accent is a bastardisation of Irish and Cockney. Like the Cockney though Australian slang is disappearing which is a bloody shame

  • I can see where the Irish comes in definitely, but even so, I do get confused sometimes due to the accent being so similar to some of the Southern accents (obviously under influence of cockney). As for the slang, that is a definite shame :-/, it's the same in the North East of England where I live, words that have been used for thousands of years are now becoming extinct. Hopefully the recent cultural revival movement here will prevent it happening completely though :-).

    Dan

  • Indeed it is. I East End London now have a group trying to revitalise the Cockney slang as does the Irish have a large percentage trying to bring back Gaelic so hopefully Australia can do the same

  • It's the same in Wales and Cornwall, there are more than twice the people speaking the Brythonic languages there than there were 10 years ago due to the fact that people want to preserve their culture. I think British culture is fantastic, and I love that people realise it's worth keeping. I recently went to an English folk night in Leeds, and I never thought I'd like it, but it was awesome! All these Yorkshire dialectal words coming through in verse and song, it wah' loveleh!

  • I am a little odd when it comes to England mainly. I love the English but I really can't stand the crown. I think it's because of Irish in me ;)

    But heritage really doesn't seem to get the respect anymore that it once did glad that there are still people like us that want to preserve our histories and culture

  • Yeah, but if we got rid of the Queen we'd have a presidency rather than a PM, and that alone is worth keeping her for :-p. I don't want to become a mini-America :-p. It's not that I don't like America, it's just that I think identity and culture is important :-). I have a bit of Irish in me too, and Scottish, Aussie, and even a tiny bit of Polish (my great grandma survived Belsen camp and moved to Britain after being liberated).

  • Indeed becoming American isn't really a prospect that many would like anywhere

  • True :-p

  • @rhart49-Apparently you haven't paid attention to how much spanish is being spoken around here now. People come from Latin America, Africa and even Northern Europe, white is going to be a minority in the US in the next 30-40 years. "not a prospect many would like anywhere?" Get a grip.

  • @dan892k7 my grandfather is also Polish , he was in both auschwitz (the worst concentration camp, it also became an extermination camp) and Mauthausen. :/

  • lol your American accent sounds southern.

  • You just can't say A's in mid sentence right. Other than that, lose the southern and your fine.
