Yes, soon after I arrived in Australia as a young refugee boy, the first sentence I heard from an Aussie officer of the DIAC was: The Australian policy towards not only migrants but all Australian citizens is LEARN OR EARN.
Both the policy and the way he said those three words really amazed me. And now, I love the Australian broad accent despite how hard it is to learn.
I hate Crocodile Dundee becuase many westerners that i"ve been around say things that are solely based on the movie and catogorize every Australian the same! Like what the hell?!
You're right..but I got teased for my accent when I went to the Eastern States when I was 17..everyone thought I sounded like a pom! But I've met people from Brisbane who sound EXACTLY like me- so much so that my own mother would get us mixed up (yes that's YOU Heidi P!) Weird huh
I guess you would have to live overseas for that long to think that Australians at Sydney airport really did sound like that. They don't to Australians who live in Australia.
Australia's English reminds me of British English than American ... and for those who do not speak English as their first language is much easier to understand.
@Tercarofalcon lol it's so true, at first i couldn't recognize one from the other, actually it's still a little bit hard to make a big difference between them
@Tercarofalcon i m afraid not. i m chinese and i find american accent much more understandable than australian accent and even british accent. i do commit english textbook tapes in schools in china are more likely to be of british accent, however movies, dramas and entertainments and most online english vid are of american accent which foster our accent tending.
@Tercarofalcon I dont think so. My first language isn't English and I can understand British English and American English very well... I live in Australia, and when I first came here..it was hard for me to understand what these Aussies talked about.
too bad australia and New Zealand are the places where the british limeys scraped the SHIT off the toilet and carted it off too......they are descendents of petty criminals and whores....:)....
English spoken with a Chinese accent, Singaporean, Indian or Aussie- they're all valid accents with their own pros and cons i.e. some people like 'em and some don't in the same way some people love a New York accent and some hate it!
I'm starting to get the Crocodile Dundee accent. "Get out of the way, duby!!!" )))
