Some people try the Australian accent and get it wrong. It is not an easy accent at all as it is tight and closed. There are some stereotype ways some think Australian speek which is wrong, and quite offensive. If you want Australian subscribers or Australian friends, here are some tips on what not to say to Australians, even if you are trying to be friendly. If you don't care, then don't worry about this video.

  • Well I can say that none of my mates or myself think like this xD....Im up in Cairns (major tourist town) so I get this a lot, and we just laugh it off or give them a hand at getting it as good as they can.....If they start talkin lines from old movies we just laugh and tell them no one says that....Sure as hell we arnt thinking about spitting in their burgers wtf....Think this might be a personal issue bud, one that definitely needs changing in my opinion

  • @rwill146 I was joking about spitting in the coffee haha. Of course you are right. Good to see you putting work in for the Australian tourism industry.

see all

  • Your obviously easily offended. Get over it

  • Where did I say Australians were sad?..I said sad that the English queen is the Australian head of state..and that is sad Australia can't have one of it's own at the top...don't you think I am being pro-Australia with that point of view?...as for Earl's Court..it has been a few years since I've been to England so you could be right there...but you can't deny Bali is the chosen destination for the Aussie herd in se Asia.

  • @terrythekittie You said that Australians are "sad". You rely on old stereotypes. I've been to Earl's Court. Apparently that hasn't been an Australian ghetto for years. They can't afford it. So how out of date are you? I'm not being touchy. I don't give a dam what you say. And I couldn't care less if you live "over seas" or "over deserts" or "over the moon". You can generalise with your steriotypes all you like. I am not impressed.

  • @saintfletcher - Where did I say I dislike Australians? Isn't it true that travelling overseas, Australians tend to travel in herds?..not all like yourself but generally in groups .. .have you heard of Earl's Court,?..the Aussie ghetto in London....Aussies are happy to make fun of other ethnic groups so don't be so touchy about an observation on your own kind....and to make you happy like a lot of Aussies I do live overseas.

  • @terrythekittie Really? I notice that your channel is in Australia. If you really live here, do yourself a favour and get out of Australia if you dislike Australians so much. You don't belong in a country when you can't stand the people of that country. I have hitch hiked the world twice, lived in Paris, Athens, London, and went to school in the US. I always travel alone and I like to see the cultures of other countries. Lots of Australians do. I'm just saying what I've experienced.

  • @grozbrn - Having done a fair bit of travelling in se Asia, Americans, Europeans and Australians in large groups can be pretty obnoxious but on their own and having travelled widely on their own Americans and Europeans are generally quite decent and likeable. You don't see that many Aussies on their own however..they need their herd badly and I guess that's why they still cling to Britain and have an English queen as their head of state. Sad really!
