  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

    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.
