Yes. I know your president is Obama and that you have freedom of speech and right to bare arms on your constitution as amendments. Thats just the obvious though. Without researching, what is our prime ministers name and name some of australias amendments?
Anyone could know that, it's more or less global knowledge the prime minister of Australia, ect, maybe not so much. , not to sound arrogant or anything. Tell me though, how did Wall Street get its' name, or which US amendment ended slavery? What year was the Treaty of New Echota signed and who was Brigham Young?
No my point was as i said in the question is i know MORE about america then most americans do about australia. You say everyone knows that. EXACTLY, think about why everyone would know that. American media is everywhere. Thats why everyone knows this stuff that it has become common knowledge now.
I assure you as an Australian, that after six months of travel all over the USA, the VAST MAJORITY of Americans can not tell the difference between an Australian accent and a British accent. This does NOT make them stupid. Most Americans are rarely exposed to both (esp Aussie accents) and therefore it's perfectly understandable that they struggle to tell the difference. If you frequently hear Aussie and British accents it's easy to tell. If you haven't, they can definitely sound similar.
James Bond Just because it has a kangaroo in it, doesn't mean it is Australian. It was put together by Warner Bros in the US but was based in Australia because it's a stereotype.
Okay I'm Filipino, I'm working on my Aussie accent because I do really love that kind of accent. So can anybody tell me what was the phrase he said, at 0:32? :)
Jerielle Davin He said "I'm gonna shoot through later this arvo" which means "I'm going to go to your place later this afternoon" I've lived in Australia for 6/7 years now.
I find it very easy to tell the difference between Australian, British, Scottish, and Irish accents. I guess living in a city such as San Francisco, and it being such a melting pot made it easier to decipher the intonations of the speaker. I love the Australian people. They are very warm and easy to talk to and always interested in what you have to say. I think the cutest thing I heard was a child telling his mom, "Be gum Mum, me bum's numb." and "It looks like you got the rough end of the pineapple." So there you have it. No worries mate.
travelling through Europe i met a chic from Maryland and she was surprised to hear i was Australian - despite my accent, she said she thought i was from the midwest - strange...
American accents are just so adorable! the good thing about being Australian, is that when we do want to go full Auzzie... we can, unlike lots of Americans
Well if you walked up to me, I'd know most of it. I'd be alright with the accent too :) I try to learn the Aussie slang. When he said Maccas I was like, "Mc Donalds" hehehehehe
Im american and i can? Lol. Kiwis are from NZ and an Aussie is from australia. They hate each other for whatever reason but they're right next to eachother. Yes sir I'm american.
As an American I do find this quite humorous. I do not believe this to hurt Americans the same we our comedians poke at other countries for they're lack of knowledge of us. All of us have a tendency to stereotype. Cheers!
I put this clip on my university presentation for my sociology unit about “Culture shock in Australia” and I got a high distinction for that presentation.... Thank you Rove!
Something very interesting that I've noticed is that you can frequently tell if an American is black by his voice alone. But not if they're Australian. I've heard some young black Aussie guys in their early 20's who came here as refugee's from Africa in their teens without any English, and now they sound as Aussie as the next guy without a hint of their heritage.
Because in America sounding "normal" means sounding "white", God forbid. Whites, Asians, Indians, and most Latinos all sound pretty indistinguishable here; but like you said most blacks talk in ebonics or with some sort of twang from it. I don't know where you stand political but I think this is bad for establishing a nation identity, but great if you are a black Marxist. So imagine what even the media wants people to think about ebonics?
Can't blame them, our accent is hard to understand Not to mention we abbreviate or shorten 70% of what we say 'Australian' English is very lazy when it comes to pronouncing
There is a reason behind it also. So dont turn your nose up on your background and our culture. Remember the convicts hated the English and wanted nothing to do with them, so they didnt want to be associated with English even if most were Irish, lol. Also to stop the English Prison Guards from understanding them what they were saying. Another reason is to stop flies, dust etc going into your mouth when speaking. So hot here and to finish a sentence faster than you can say Cooweee. lol
@@Mav_F Do you have any studies or research to back that up? Also only about 20% of Australians have a convict ancestor so this idea of hating the English is very odd. English is also the largest ethnicity in Australia to this day. We have a sports rivalry and enjoy banter but the UK is probably Australia's closest country after NZ. The Australian accent(s) is commonly understood to have developed from an amalgamation of British accents, for example general and broad Australian have a lot of similarities and are often confused with Cockney and Estuary. Cultivated Australian, and perhaps people mainly from South Australia who pronounce words dance like "dahnce" can be seen to be much closer to modern RP English. Australian's also lack a rhotic r, which is common in America, Ireland and West England. The Australian accent did not develop due to a dislike of the English, otherwise we wouldn't sound so much like them, or the fact most Australians have English ancestry. The rest about prison guards and flies sounds like bollocks to be fair, but you might be joking.
@@bloat1235 The Aussie accent and slang came from the children of the convicts. Because the mixed nationalities etc and slang changed the accent to what the country Australians sound like, the true blue accent. Now our accents, are mixed with other cultures and aren't as strong but still noticeable. The Adelaide people do pronounce the words the proper British way. If you listen to anyone from Melbourne and Sydney they almost sound the same with a slightly different tone. You can hear it if you listen correctly. They say their words the same. There were a few documentaries on this many many years ago. It was the children who started the slang so the soldiers didn't understand what they were saying or referring to. The accent followed as they were from different backgrounds with different accents. Like today with so many different accents in Australia now, our accent is changing, mine has since I started working in the city.
the funniest thing about crocodile dundee is that the most famous line "put another shrimp on the barbee", we don't even call them shrimp, we call them prawns
Alot of Americans know nothing about Australian Culture or our accent. But they get one thing right. "How ya gaaarn?" is said pretty much all over Australia, haha ^.^
As a new migrant in Australia, I would say the Aussie culture is a lot more eastern than one might incline to think. Well... apart from the slangs I guess.
@thekujayhawkman Australians actually know a lot about the USA because we see it and hear it in movies, television, music, newspapers and magazines EVERY day. Whereas, in the US you mostly hear about only the US every day. It is called an insular society.
I live in Nye,Texas. I got interested in Australia because I watched the movie and series Wolf creek, which immediately got me interested in Australia.But I don't really know Australia. Will it be dangerous for foreign tourists like in movies and series Wolf creek ?😅😅😅😅

@lostalex77 lots of australian have a lot of land in fact my dad has 10 acres australian culture doesn't allow for lots of people cramped into 1 place, we love our space

I'm American, and I know more about Australia and the Aussie accent than these people, despite the fact that I haven't visited there yet! I wonder if any Aussies say phrases like "Smashing baby!" Or "Bugger!" Here's one I came up with: Just a sec mate, I gotta bloody slam the loo! I've created an Aussie phrase saying "Hold on (or excuse me) man( or my friend or whatever), I gotta go to the bathroom really badly!" I wouldn't be surprised if they say this!
i think there is absolutely no reason for australians to get upset over americans not knowing much about the so special, magical, unique australian culture.
One of these days, I'm just gunna go to America and go full out Aussie. Should get some nice reactions.
Don't forget to bring a cork hat.

No excuses
Only uneducated people can't tell the difference

There’s a way to differentiate Canadian accents to American ones, when Canadians say the word about, it’s sounds like “ a boat”.

I meant that even Canadians cannot differentiate between a typical Aussie and British Accent.
