Wow, from now on I promise I will only speak English, if I brought out too much Australian it could cause confusion.
The australian accent is the english one that is the tougher to understand for me without subtitles, just before the Texas accent and the New York accent (not really anymore, since I kind of use to hear it in most of the film I watch).
I often struggle to hear "American" accents in Hollywood films (obviously the regional ones I spot a mile off).
Just post it Wombat, Chris Lilly deserves to be seen by all .And yes Australians don't actually sound like they do in that video, that was an Australian taking the piss out of bogan Australians who let's face it, almost have a language of their own haha. I find that I never really notice the difference between Aus accents Wombat, we all just sound Australian to me. QuoteI often struggle to hear "American" accents in Hollywood films (obviously the regional ones I spot a mile off).Also I am exactly the same here. Growing up watching American TV and films constantly I now can't even spot American accents, unless they are Southern ones. If I am talking to an American person face to face it stands out a mile, but I am just so used to it in TV and film that it is the norm to hear Americans. I heard Australian accents in a film trailer the other day and I did a double take, I could hardly believe how strange we actually sound in a film haha. I wasn't even sure if it was Aus accents at the start.
