Hey Ronnie thank you! Really appreciate you guys taking the time to be apart of this video! Also glad you liked the thumbnail! Hahaha You guys are awesome!
As an Australian I can most definitely say those accents were a violation but they were done with the purest of intentions and that's all that matters haha
As an Aussie I rate the the dude the yonex bag, best out of the lot by no means perfect but a solid effort considering how hard our accent is to master
As an Aussie I would say guy with the grey shirt at 3:33 had a very good attempt at an Aussie accent except he pronounced the word "Tennis" with more of a South African accent.
I thought his 'tennis' sounded more Kiwi but others said Sth African. Reality is there are many words that are very similarly said wether by a Kiwi or a Sth African.
I don’t feel like I’m exaggerating when I say, most people in the USA (Who am I kidding? Probably all of us) love Australian accents. 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇦🇺 Warning: do be prepared for spontaneous (rather obnoxious) attempts at your accent…to your face; apologies in advance! 🫣😅

I will say with this absolute certainty: Americans fucking love Aussies.
Very good... I love the accent, but I think because it’s so different than us. But then, I really like a good southern accent too. Can’t wait to see you again.
@@heehee6113 you realize there are so many different dialects and accents in America, right? Most outsiders think all Americans sound like what you hear in movies, TV, or whatever. The same way people think they know what every Aussie sounds like. We're all hypocrites, really. But you should never say American accent is easy. I will say this, Americans have so much diversity that their English is so different everywhere. The influences scattered among their culture is massive.
My self esteem after watching this video be like: 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈 (I’m Australian btw) :) Btw some of the accents were interesting 😂 Just some criticism we have prawns not shrimp! We don’t always use slang, we do talk like normal people! Mate is used a lot but it isn’t the only word we say :) overall I really enjoyed watching this video and seeing how Americans see us!
I can remember an interview with actress Meryl Streep when she was playing Lindy Chamberlain in the movie Evil Angels, and she reckoned the Australian accent was the hardest accent she'd ever had to do, and that even after six weeks with a dialect coach she still didn't feel she'd mastered it. You know an accent is hard when even Meryl Streep is saying she can't do it
Meryl Streep nailed it. So did Kate Winslet in The Dressmaker. I've lived in Australia for many years and still can't do an Aussie accent... Can't do an accent from any of the countries I've lived, not even my native country... I just sound more British than anything.
We don't go round thinking of our accent, in fact it's everyone ELSE that has accents, not us in Australia. However, for those who try to speak like we do, try as hard as they might, the good ol' American accent sticks, rusted on perhaps. Americans doing Aussie accents usually sound pretty crap at it. Anyway for movie roles requiring Australian accents, why the producers don't cast Australian actors who normally live and work in Australia is anyone's guess. Onya Mate!
@@catherina2611 My Dad grew up in England (very RP) nd I'd much rather sound like than Australian. Some of my speech is apparently slightly British to some people.
@@zhukie England has many different accents, some are more pleasant than others. Australia doesn't have just the one accent, it basically has 3, the broad accent like Crocodile Dundee, General accent like Hugh Jackman and the cultivated accent like Cate Blanchett.
I lived in America and I got teased for my Aussie accent, but after like two years, I gained a partial American accent. And then I moved back to Australia and I had like a weird mutant Aussie and American accent, which I also got teased for. So I can never win 😪
I have some friends who've been to the Eastern side of the big pond; they all came back with the same strange accent; they all finally lost it, but it took a while
Yeah to me, when I hear the American accent in real life it’s a bit like “Woah is this real or are they actors” 😂😂😂 Seriously when it’s in real life you feel like you’re on TV or in a movie
Lol! A couple of ppl (like the guy in the park) got it partly right. As for the rest ... 😂 I think it's hard for Americans to relax their vowels and not pronounce their r's, so their attempts as an Aussie accent usually come out sounding more like English Cockney than anything else.
in australia we hear the american accent all our lives tv, film, but the americans rarely hear ours unless its an exaggerated stereotype like paul hogan so i get why they cant imitate it
We Aussies ( pronounced Ozzie) draw out our vowel sounds. Past is p-ah-sd, fast is f-ah-sd we don’t articulate the T as Tee instead we use a D sound. Butter becomes Budu notice the ending? We also tend to use an ‘U’ (as in up) in place of ‘ter’ at the end of a word. So butter becomes budu, water is w-or-du, platter is pla-du, bitter is bid-u. We say yeah instead of yes. This is a type of Aussie laidback slang and a large number of people speak like this. However, not all people. City and inner suburbia dwellers are more articulate in their speech. I hover between the two as many people do, depending on the situation and the audience. 😁🇦🇺
Omg I love this. As an Australian to be completely honest everyone who tried sucked so bad at the accent but I can tell they tried to get it. I feel like during this video I felt like idk really like proud of our accent and I feel like if I’m being completely honest if I went to America I would do my strong Aussie accent just to like show off. Hahaha loved this video please do more like this!
I’m American. work with people all over the globe. The Australian accent is simply my favorite 😍 it’s by far the hottest and the people have such a great sense of humor so I feel like we get along right off the bat!
Thanks Paul! I always like to throw in that but because I always got a kick out of people trying an American accent lol. Thanks for checking out the video 👍🏽
As an aussie i can say for sure they definitely gave it a crack lol, some almost nailed it but that one dude who said “oiii” was hilarious 😂. Good job fellas you did your best
Americans tend to like all accents, German, French, Dutch, Italian and especially the British accent etc ,etc. Many Americans believe, wrongly, that their American accents are less worthy somehow, they shouldn't, they sound just as cool as any accent!
The Aussies are a lot better at the US accent than the Americans are at the Aussie accent. Most of them sound more like a British accent. But the guy with the Yonex bag is on point.
Hahaha... l really enjoyed this.... lm aussie and loved watching everyone having fun trying... Made me realise the difficulty americans have getting their tongue around the way we speak. But a big thumbs up for trying anyway. 😁... The thing that stood out to me was most sounded like a british accent than australian. When I was in Memphis about 10 years ago, l was talking with a american girl working at the airport. When i finished ' she just stared for a moment then tells me she loved listening to my accent and would l mind saying more... Haha... Of course ( to me ) it was her who had the accent not me.. 🤣😅
Awesome James keep up the great work that you do it’s great to forget about life once in awhile I would love to travel when this covid 19 is over hope your doing well James stay safe.
Dear James, I read your drop down section under your video and thought I'd give you a few friendly points about the word mate and its uses. Firstly, in Australia, 'mate' has no gender. You can call your female or male friend "mate." Secondly, although the plural of mate is mates, when used as a greeting towards a group of people, the word mate is dropped from the expression and so just becomes "g'day" Thirdly, when you speak to or about someone you don't know, the correct term is "ol' mate." Finally and most importantly, depending on inflection, 'mate' is either used endearingly or are fighting words so be careful. The wrong 'mate' by an Aussie could see you getting smacked right in the kisser. No wucken forries mate, Nolesy.
Hello from Australia! Cool video! I find it so funny that everyone thinks that we say G’day. You’ll hardly hear anyone say it when you’re in Australia. Hey, how you goin? Is what you’ll hear more often. ‘Yeah, nah’ is another really common saying which means no lol Random fact, most Aussies call McDonalds, Maccas 🤷🏻♀️
I still say it quite a lot. It's just a very informal greeting you might use if you were say, walking down the street and you catch the eye of the person you're passing and they nod their head and/or smile, in recognition of your existence and you, as a civil human being, respond in like fashion and may add a 'G'day' for good measure. I use it less frequently now of course as most screenagers just pass by without lifting their gaze from their phone.
I'm an Aussie. Australian's themselves have different accents. I'm from the West coast where people tend to form their words deeper, just below the soft pallet and off to the side and words tend to be more gruff/flat or uniform. South Australian's much the same and Northern Territorians similar but further to the side of the pallet, that twang you hear is stronger. Australian's from the outback regions then go to the next level with more a growl sound. Victorian's form their words around the soft pallet, a touch nasal then often raise the tone as their sentence finishes. New South Wales their words tend to form around the pallet then tend to be more nasal. Queenslanders are similar. Tasmanians tend to be more polished. Very suttle differences but enough for the locals to pick up on it. Unlike America and England not including Whales or Scotland. American accents seem to be distinct between north south east and west ( love Dolly Parton's ) and the Poms they can live 5 miles apart and they don't understand each other, amazing. I do like the Canadian accent, similar to the American accent but not nearly as distinct. I enjoy the challenge of SE Asian and Asian accents. I like the Tiawanese best because it has a real warm gentle tone to it. But if you want a serious challenge try distinguish the Tribesmen, the Australian Aboriginees. The Tribesmen from the Southern Regions of the Simpson Desert have a strong punching dialect as opposed to those from the Northern Desert which is much smoother in tone. Then both are very different from the Kimberley who's dialect is short and sharper and a lot in between. What a beautiful and interesting world we live in.
When James asks the rest world about American accents: I hate it 😐 When James asks Americans what they think about other accents: I love it! 😁 Why are they such haters? 🤣
Australians don't dislike American accents in general. You'll always be able to find someone who'll say they don't like this or that if you look for them hard enough. Australians are exposed to a lot of American and British television programs and they lap that chit up. If they didn't like American accents, they wouldn't watch American movies or TV shows, and that's not the case at all. All accents are great. I'm glad they all exist.
I'm Australian I live in Perth western Australia iv been dreaming to go to the US since I was young I love this video should come over here and interview us mate Much love to all the Americans out there
1:22 Bennett, the main villain from Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was Australian (or at least had an accent) and I couldn't take him seriously even as an Australian. Even if you watch the movie Chopper based on a real Australian Vigilante, the dudes crazy but at the same time kind of funny and chipper.
My best friends wife is from Sydney, and she is the sister I never had. The most sincere charming friends I've ever had. Loving Caring and a Great Friend.
I’m never offended by the attempt. As long as they know we don’t throw SHRIMPS on the barbie. We throw PRAWNS on the barbie. Except we don’t. Prawns are served fresh.
The only thing I've been offended by is when I was talking about an Emu and an American tried to correct my pronunciation. I will share this conversation in the hope it stops other well meaning Americans repeating the offence. ie: *interrupts* "What's an Emu?" (Eam-you) *me* "A large, flightless Australian bird" "Ohh, you mean an Emu!" (E-moo) *me* "No, I'm an Australian, talking about an Australian animal and I can assure you that no 'Australian' has ever pronounced that 'Australian' word as E-moo!" Also, if you're an American, and you really want to impress an Australian, don't call them an 'Awe-see.' We call ourselves 'Oz-zee' and are easily impressed. Just FYI.
as an aussie wow i didnt know people thought it was better than the American accent, but them trying to sound it was terrible lol I have actually never said g'day mate lol that is so stupid
The lady who couldn't understand some Aussies, most likely was speaking to someone raised in the country or farm life. They tend to speak faster and sentences sound like one entire word without any breaks.
One thing most Australians would say if you visit out country is not to try and sound like an Australian, just be yourself. There are not many who can replicate it but there is a few handy tips to speaking like and Aussie on the internet I believe.
I remember when I was in school there was an American girl at the school I remember before I thought I didn’t have an accent I could definitely hear it when she talked because I also talked with her
Thanks for interviewing us James, and that thumbnail is 🔥 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hey Ronnie thank you! Really appreciate you guys taking the time to be apart of this video! Also glad you liked the thumbnail! Hahaha You guys are awesome!
I saw you on the cover and thought there would be paintball
As an aussie , I give you a bloody good thumbs up for that aussie accent
“Do an Australian accent”
Every American ever: *British noises*
Lmfao
well they;re about the same eaccept aussie tend to have a boston aw sound at the end rather than a formal british one. aussie accent are cute to me.
Believe me, there is a significant difference. I love all Anglo accents :D
@@tegamingother There's more to it then that.
@@SirDankleberry ig
I haven't been to America but I feel like it'll be flex having an Aussie accent there
Oh yeah, definitely
It is lol love u ausies 🇺🇸🇦🇺
As an Aussie who has, can confirm.
Yeah when I when to America it was like that haah
Literally 😂
As an Australian I can most definitely say those accents were a violation but they were done with the purest of intentions and that's all that matters haha
Yea they were terrible 😂
Violation?
Yeah true
Yep
Yep fair dinkum. I'm Australian as well and I can tell as well.
Guy in the orange shorts did the accent beautifully.
Cortezerino sounds nothing like it lmao
Sounded kiwi
Sounds like a South African or kiwi
@@alexpenkethman196 no mate, my best friend is South African, the dude sound Kiwi specially the “tennis” part.
He did a New Zealand accent.
As an Aussie I rate the the dude the yonex bag, best out of the lot by no means perfect but a solid effort considering how hard our accent is to master
@Chris Farley not at all, there is a very distinct difference between the accents, that being said there are a heap New Zealanders in Australia
@Where’s the Music? Australian isn’t that hard of an accent to mimic tbh
3:35 He sounds more like Kiwi (New Zealander).
Sounds like a mix of the two to me.
no no..we are true blue Aussie's mate
Haha their attempts are hilarious, I had a good laugh, nice vid.
Hahaha yea I think they’ve got some work to do, but I appreciate their effort 😂😂 thanks for watching it 👍🏽
hello govn'r!
As an Aussie I would say guy with the grey shirt at 3:33 had a very good attempt at an Aussie accent except he pronounced the word "Tennis" with more of a South African accent.
No I think it was more of an New Zealand accent
I am also Aussie
@@user-np5mb5ps9d Yeah that was definitely more New Zealand than Aussie
Nah it sounded Kiwi 👁️
@@user-np5mb5ps9d yeah I thought the same thing
I thought his 'tennis' sounded more Kiwi but others said Sth African. Reality is there are many words that are very similarly said wether by a Kiwi or a Sth African.
3:40 wow he actually mentioned a South Australian town! Coober Pedy is an opal mining town.
I always didn’t like my australian accent. then I watch this and I’m like: 😌💅🏻
bro, I'm glad CZcams supports emojies. That was a good one
Americans: Australian accents are cool
Aussies: yeah nah, yankees accents suck
lol
So tru
@Brandon Loves Cinema! its fine saying you know them, the trick is being able to pronounce them, and throw Bris- bain (Brisbane) in there as well
Thats not true
Im Australian and I love their accents tbh
The guy at 3.51 saying “OOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIII” absolutely NAILED it! I’m still laughing my arse off at how good it was 😄
Oath.
Old mate had the best crack of it
J'DAY MATE OMG NOOOOO I CANTTTT
Hahhaha cracked me up

This is me exactly!! Having duel accents stink! Americans bully aussie accents, Australians bully American accent. I feel this.

The simple definition of the Australian accent is that it can never be violated 👍Trust us mate, we laughed a lot, 🤣
hey dude...Melbourne here....you guys did really well...it was funny watching your efforts
Melbourne was the first place I visited when I first when to Australia. Stayed in St Kilda for a bit. Solid place 👍🏽

As long as everyone has a good time it's all good. Hope you are all safe, cheers buddy
Totally violated it mate! Funny as all shit to watch.
The thing is us Australians were very much raised on the American accent - movies, music etc. whether u like hearing accent or not

We still here it a little Nora. It's mostly used in the country areas.
I still say it quite a lot.

What a beautiful and interesting world we live in.
I think one of the main differences is that we don't pronounce our 'Rs' as strongly

james that was heaps good mate. the video made me cack myself. such a fun video.
Thanks man glad you liked it 👍🏽
Def was going to say the tennis bro was the best. I find their accent pretty amazing.
Good attempt... but his accent was leaning towards kiwi, especially the way he pronounced tennis.
Awesome Mate , ya done well with the accent 😂loved it Funny as 🇦🇺🇦🇺Aussie Pride Mate
3:34 was actually super close !! except for when he said "tennis" 🙌🏼

If they didn't like American accents, they wouldn't watch American movies or TV shows, and that's not the case at all.
All accents are great. I'm glad they all exist.
I'm Australian I live in Perth western Australia iv been dreaming to go to the US since I was young I love this video should come over here and interview us mate
Much love to all the Americans out there
1:22 Bennett, the main villain from Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was Australian (or at least had an accent) and I couldn't take him seriously even as an Australian. Even if you watch the movie Chopper based on a real Australian Vigilante, the dudes crazy but at the same time kind of funny and chipper.
As an Australian it was hilarious to hear their best Aussie accents 😂
My best friends wife is from Sydney, and she is the sister I never had. The most sincere charming friends I've ever had. Loving Caring and a Great Friend.
I love the American accent. Love to you from Australia.
I’m never offended by the attempt. As long as they know we don’t throw SHRIMPS on the barbie. We throw PRAWNS on the barbie. Except we don’t. Prawns are served fresh.
The only thing I've been offended by is when I was talking about an Emu and an American tried to correct my pronunciation. I will share this conversation in the hope it stops other well meaning Americans repeating the offence.
ie: *interrupts* "What's an Emu?" (Eam-you)
*me* "A large, flightless Australian bird"
"Ohh, you mean an Emu!" (E-moo)
*me* "No, I'm an Australian, talking about an Australian animal and I can assure you that no 'Australian' has ever pronounced that 'Australian' word as E-moo!"
Also, if you're an American, and you really want to impress an Australian, don't call them an 'Awe-see.'
We call ourselves 'Oz-zee' and are easily impressed.
Just FYI.
The guy in the Grey shirt at 3:30 pulled a really good Aussie accent out of nowhere!
as an aussie wow i didnt know people thought it was better than the American accent, but them trying to sound it was terrible lol I have actually never said g'day mate lol that is so stupid
I'm an Aussie and i think American accent is cool
In Australia we can’t really tell that we got an accent.
Well that’s how accent works
Me as an genuine Australian think that the guy with the gray shirt and black backpack did a pretty real Australian accent
The lady who couldn't understand some Aussies, most likely was speaking to someone raised in the country or farm life. They tend to speak faster and sentences sound like one entire word without any breaks.
One thing most Australians would say if you visit out country is not to try and sound like an Australian, just be yourself. There are not many who can replicate it but there is a few handy tips to speaking like and Aussie on the internet I believe.
As an Aussie.. charming and uh happy joyful.. might wanna check out the cranky ones in the outback
Honestly the guy who spoke about playing tennis did really well, I did a double take and at first I disbelieved he was the one speaking！
One of em nailed it but the rest violated it, haha sorry Americans
Whats your best Australian accent, "hello governor"
Me an Australian, "thats pure english"
*facepalm
Orr mate, she'll be right you'll see. See ya at the pub
No justice done lol......no one seems to be able to do our accent! love the video!
Love that I grew up in "awstrayliah"
Or as Californians call it, "Oss-trell-yah" 🤣
I remember when I was in school there was an American girl at the school I remember before I thought I didn’t have an accent I could definitely hear it when she talked because I also talked with her
So funny & great🇦🇺🙏🇺🇸
Thank you for watching it!
We never say “put a shrimp on the barbie” haha We eat prawns but like a snag cooked on the bbq preferably from Bunnings
The OI! ( 3:51 ) Was on point.
that was hilarious as an aussie tho its nice to know that most americans like our accent
Proof again that most Americans are actually so warm and wholesome. I dont get the hate they get 🤷♀️
I’m also from Australia and to be honest with you I was born in Australia before I came to Thailand
