Ya I can tell the difference between a kiwi and australian accent as well, but I don't blame you or anyone for that matter to confuse an American and Canadian accent because honestly especially our larger Canadian cities have pretty much the same accents as the closest neighbouring American cities. So not your fault don't worry :P
Normal Americans (like me and I live in Virginia) can tell the difference between us and Canadians. You just have to listen to how Canadians say "ou" sounds like in "about". To me and my friends at least it sounds weird.
I'm Canadian and I can't tell the di between South Africans and Aussie's straight away and as for Kiwi's... Iv'e never seen a New Zealnder in my life, sad!
I don't know about the rest of Canada..but I live near the boarder in Northern Maine and I could definitely tell if someone is from the New Brunswick/ Maritimes area.....slight accents and terminology and oh yes can't forget the Quebecois
I live in Philadelphia and I was recently in Toronto, Canada and met an Australian working at a store. He seemed to be surprised that I knew he was Australian he said that most people he met thought he was from the UK
we americans are nuerotic!!! lol. we also love apple sause. hmm maybe thats just me. im not too fond of parliaments, too unstable but at least with that kinf of government you don't get stuck with a bush... i wonder how brits feel about brown. poor brown. he'll pull through i mean the labor party always wins. can anyone tell im a major nerd? lol. nuerosis? poultry yeah.
Also Canada is very comparable to the North Pole, atleast 90% of the country has snow 11 and a half months of the year, our government has written into the constitution that it is every Canadians right to own a polar bear for labour and transportation (kind of like the ox of the north), and elves are the back bone of our great nation... kind of like the goblins in Harry Potter
American's can't tell the difference between Americans and Canadians either so it's okay. Besides, we Canadians are too laid back to care too much that you thought we were American, actually we take great offense at being confused with Americans, however we can't hold a grudge to save our lives...
Well I'm American, and I think that I can tell apart Australians and Kiwis better than I can tell apart Americans and Canadians.... is there something wrong with me?
Lol Canadians hold that smug above them but if you want to say all of the Americans are Fox news beliving bible thumping idiots then your mostly right.
Love your vids bro, but ouch on the America hate. We have similar histories, our countries, and all countries have problems; I mean we even rank higher on Environmental Performance Index than you. We love you guys, so toss some love our way, yeah?
I'm American. I can tell the difference between Kiwis and Australian's. But I can't pick out Canadians unless they have very strong accents....but sometimes I just think they're Minnesotan... because Canada and Minnesota are the same thing.
Well that was fun. I'm Australian, and I like to think I can identify the Canadian species amongst the Americans. I actually met some nice Canadians in New Zealand once. They could tell we were Australian too, but that might've been because we were acting like tourists.
Thanks for the vid response, Rohan. I have yet to get fully into this YouTube thing, but I plan on getting a camera sooner rather than later.
I pretty much expected everything you were going to say. The accent, culture, and general appearance between Americans and Canadians is almost indiscernable. (Except for a weird and mysterious part of Canada called Quebec. Anyone who knows that I'm talking about, well, knows what I'm talking about)..
Hey rohan can your next video be on why australia doesnt/cant have an R18+ rating on games, you kinda alluded to it in the lfd2 banned but i know theres alot of political crap behind why we dont have one/cant get one and with the censoring of the intersphere and all that jazz.
it's best just to ask someone with a N American accent where they are from because if you say 'are you from america?' it's like saying 'are you really uptight and angry when you visit foreign places because you are forced to adapt to a culture unlike your own?' ouch
Canadians can't always tell the difference either. If they have a southern accent or a New Yorker accent or something, sure, but otherwise it's pretty similar. More so than Australians and New Zealanders I dare say.
I don't get how some Americans can't tell the Difference between Aussies and Kiwis. It's very obvious.
But I have a thing for accents; I love listening to the differences in them. I remember the first time I heard Daniel Radcliffe interviewed on the radio, I had never heard his natural accent, and I thought, Huh, I didn't know he was from Essex.
You australians aren't the only ones to always think Canadians are Americans. They do it pretty much everywhere in Europe too =P
Funny story though when my friends and I were in London we were waiting for a bus and this guy asked us if we were American or australian.... Don't ask how he couldn't tell those two apart ... it's beyond me.
Yay Canada! When I went to Paris they just assumed I was American and for some reason hated me but when they found out I was Canadian, they all wanted to have my babies or something.
That is so funny. I think most people can't tell the difference between Canadians and Americans. That is why us Canadians are told to travel around with Canadian flags on our luggage lol.
LOL, This is funny :-) I can tell because I think Canadians have a different accent than we do. Australians and Kiwis?? LOL I love that. I think I can tell the difference because kiwis, a lot of times, sound like people from South Africa. Wherever people are from, they are cool to me because I love hearing different accents.
Great explanation of Canada. I'm not entirely sure if you can generalize Canadians because people from different parts of the country have entirely different personalities. Just like in the U.S.
Congratulations on your new Canadian popularity. Is it more Western or Eastern though?
We've got French writing on our food, Poutine, and all the American movies we want.
So a Kiwi is a fruit, and an Australian is a person :-P
I absolutely cannot tell Americans and Canadians apart. There are so many accents in the US that no matter how hard the Canadians try to pronounce their vowels differently, they're still going to sound like they're from somewhere in my country.
I totally agree. I spent a year studying education at Southern Cross Uni in Lismore, NSW, and I have to agree that most Australians always assumed I was American.
When I was doing in-school practicums, all the students would call me American and even after explaining I was from Canada they'd still ask me what's it's like living in America, etc. One of the most common questions was if I had ever met anyone famous. LOL
It's true, being mistaken for an American will really piss some Canadians off. I'm not that offended by it, but I like to think we are classier. Am I an elitist? Maybe. I just call it patriotism. lol. Loved the video<3
Love Australians!! I'm English, but living in France, and I just met my first real life Australian! He told me that all Australians knew Steve Irwin. Is this true?? He's going to make me try Vegemite and chicken salt, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this!!
Chicken salt is good on chips and this is coming from a vegetarian (I don't eat it anymore). I encourage everyone to try Vegemite at least once but remember if it is your first time apply it really thinly! seriously you have to build up a tolerance. Its a standard joke in Aus, Americans having it as thick as Nutella on their first go and gagging. I seriously do eat it every single day though.
Canadians usually always have a hard on for Australia and New Zealand.
