I’ve never been more self conscious about how I speak until this video. Emma has a more polished and enunciated accent than someone like me from the working class suburbs of western Sydney who speaks with a stronger accent and less enunciation. Australian accents do vary to a certain extent. Social class, education, upbringing, ethnicity, occupation and socioeconomic status all play a role in how we pronounce words. My wife from the Philippines says we swallow our words which is a very accurate description. I have been aware that my accent is different to British and American English but never realised how much we replace the letters such as “ch” and “d” for “t” and like “chewsday “ (Tuesday) and “boddle” (bottle) and sometimes we don’t use “t” at all such as “percennage” (percentage). Another thing is we tend to drop the “g” in words that end in “ing” such as come-en and gowen (coming and going). It would be interesting to see a video on the difference between how someone like Emma speaks and someone with my accent.

English is my second language (though I've been using it far longer than my mother tongue by now) and I find British English far easier to understand than any other variety. It's the crispness of both the vowels and the consonants (those t's for example) that gives it a lovely clarity. To my ear, American English sounds somehow slurred, a little "muddy" in contrast. Of course, the British English variety I have in mind is the RP type, exemplified by Lucy's speech. Regional accents can throw me for a loop! Btw, I learned British English first and acquired an RP accent. After 40+ years of living in Canada, people often take me for a South African! 😂

[@TayoEXE]

The fact that I am American and hear both other accents and still understand what they are saying is evidence of a specific fact of languages. Some sounds are clumped into similar groups naturally since there aren't equivalent words for the slight variations, so the variations sound like the same thing to us. Same goes for other English speakers. For example, if an American sounds like they are saying "Chree" instead of "Tree," well, there is no English word (that I know of) like that, so it just still sounds like "Tree" to a British or Australian for example. So yeah, as long as you are understandable, you are fine. It doesn't matter what slight variations you decide to use as long as the people you talk to can understand you where you live.

American English pronunciation largely depends on what region of the country where you were raised. There can be a huge variation between individual States. Where I'm from in Duty the T sound is clearly pronounced. In many areas of the US when a word ends in ING the G is often sharply suppressed or entirely silent. I suspect that's because of the large influx of Irish in the 19th Century. Irish accents, especially Northern Ireland, have that characteristic which seems to have passed on the regional US dialects. I don't know where Vanessa lives in the US but where I'm from we don't substitute D for T very often if at all. I'm in the Great Lakes region of the US specifically NE Ohio.

Almost every pronunciation in American English depends on how carefully you're speaking. Whether we drop or use the "T" heavily depends on people we're speaking to. Like with Interview, I'd normally say the T in most circumstances, but really it's just both. Most words we have at least 2 ways of saying lol

Hello there! Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I enjoyed it very much and hope to see a lot more of you guys together again.

[@aliceballah7094]

I have been having trouble here in Australia with people understanding my pronunciation which is more American. It was really frustrating for me as I am a Registered Nurse who is about to go to university to do my conversion program. I find it frustrating having to repeat myself all the time. Thank God I came across this Video, I was actually dreading the idea of going to school and work but I do not mind repeating myself all the time anymore

This is a reason why I love British english because “can” and “can't” in British english are obviously what you can do and what you can't do. But in American english, both words sound similar😑

[@kdbriar9809]

I wanna say as an American it's actually quite easy. The word *can* is always fully pronounced but when people say *can't* (since they don't pronounce the T), they shorten the N sound. Like, it almost comes to a direct stop once they've started the N. Sometimes clarification is needed of course and I've also come across KZbin videos where people describe the difference before as well. I caN do it I can- do it

[@michaelnurge1652]

Her accent is not quite "standard American"; the most important metric of how you say stuff / what you call them is where you were raised, secondarily who you were raised by. It's a really large country, people in the San Francisco area don't talk quite like her, though you can tell her accent is U.S. The "t" in the middle of words here is more of a tongue flip than a full-on "d", but it's pretty far from the aspirated "t" you find at the start of many words. It can change depending on the word or what sound it's next to.

[@yufenagain6031]

Her accent is definitely the everyday North Carolinian

[@anarchy7535]

You'll find the same is true of basically any country's accent, especially when they're large and/or in groups isolated from each other. Emma's from Perth and her accent is very similar to accents from more southern states of Australia, but there is drastic variation from her more British-Australian to the more cartoonish one that Americans always use when they put on our accent.

In Australian English, whilst you do hear people pronounce "water" with the T sound "waTah" (the way Emma pronounced it in the video). It is also very common to hear people say "waDah" where the D sounds more like a rolled r sound.

English with Lucy Yes, that was just what I had been wanting to ask you to make a video comparing two countries which are New Zealand and Canada while I was watching your accent videos on your channel. But I would like to know more about another way to compare the accent. British vs NZ vs AUS and British vs CAN vs USA. Because I can recognise the different accents between British and AUS but I can’t hear the difference between NZ and AUS, also it is the same to me between CAN and USA. I have watched some videos about it but it is still blurry and vague to me. I am really enjoying learning English with your channel since I found you and your videos helped me a lot in my English improvement. All the teachers have a different method to teach their students, but your goal of teaching really works to me, especially in speaking and listening, those two are the most practical elements of learning another language. I just would like to speak proper English as my education level, not my English level and not as a foreigner. Your videos, however, got me in the right way to sound like a native speaker :) I was a quiet subscriber and supporter of what you are making, but I cannot stop saying all those words as you come back after a long time! :D WELCOME BACK and you are my lifesaver 🔅

My accent definitely gets less British-sounding when I’m talking to people with a different accent, though if I realise I’m doing it, I try to make myself sound more British because I hate it when it changes by itself lol

[@StormsparkPegasus]

A lot of it will depend on how fast you're speaking. Even in the US, if we say "better" for instance, and really want to emphasize it while speaking slowly, we will pronounce the t. I guess those situations don't come up that frequently though.

[@Nazdreg1]

In Northern Germany, we have the "t" changing into "d" as well. And in Low German, it is even written sometimes. "Buddel" means "bottle". If spoken the American way, only the vowel is slightly different (and the "L" of course). Otherwise, it is the same word. Yeah and dropping the "d" in a word with "nd" in it also happens sometimes. "Kinner" instead of "Kinder" (children), "anners" instead of "anders" (different)

[@cheryljewett-koblinsky7651]

The pronunciation of the R is called rhoticity. It isn't all R's but it is the use of R's in certain situations. Most British accents are non-rhotic, but some are rhotic (West Country and Geordie are rhotic if I recall correctly). American accents tend to be rhotic, but a few major urban accents are not (Boston and some New York accents mostly). Scottish, Irish and Canadian English are generally rhotic. Australian and New Zealand English are generally non-rhotic. There might be a few minor regional accents that are exceptions but that's the basic trend.
