@@bingbong-yr6qe You know, English seems to be the ONLY language on this planet whose speakers expect all the rest of world to understand them wherever they are in the world. And, yeah, you are still taken to be inferior for failing to understand their Xyz-vale accent, even when you know it's only because you are accustomed to "the Queen's English" they taught you at school. OK I don't have a problem with that, as long as it helps humanity build a better world, now that this situation is a consequence of recent history. But mind you, someday, it might happen that the Xyz-vale guys will find themselves a linguistic minority, when all the rest of the world has adopted English --- in a "corrupted" form not approved by the government of any of the English-speaking countries --- as the lingua franca. Growing up reading Shakespeare, and Chaucer, I personally would find it terrifying to see the emergence of a "world English", whatever that may refer to .

The true broad accent is far far far more difficult to understand than that for people who are not used to it. I used to share a house with a girl in North Melbourne. I asked her why I could completely understand her when we were having a chat but couldn’t understand a single word when she was talking to someone else. She told me she changed the way she talked when talking to me! When I asked my work mate to teach me the Aussie accent, he said if so I had to go back to school. I think the guy was accommodating you during the interview. Suggest that you record people with truly broad accent talking among themselves. Broad accent is not only interesting and funny but very useful. It would be helpful to have access to more materials like this.

Mate, this interview was an excellent idea because that's the fair dinkum OZ accent, and you are taking down the argument of those who are reluctant to acknowledge this as the most genuine taste of Australian culture because it is thought to be spoken for people really far away in the countryside. Anyone willing to learn this accent will enjoy the real humor sense of the idiosyncrasy and will blend easily into any group because people can be themselves in social contexts. I'm just beginning my learning process.

I'm an engineer and I'm from Colombia. More than an interest I found that mastering the local accent (doesn't imply to use it) is a genuine need. I've been living in Australia for roughly 2 years and now I'm looking forward to getting my skilled PR. The two more complicated stuffs to master in another language are humour and poetry -it's so bloody frustrating when people are cracking themselves up and you have no clue what was funny-, to do so, it is required to understand all the little nuances and connotations while learning in the process about the reasons why it's considered funny. (that's a real grasp of the culture).

Yeah! His accent is quite clear, sounds like an everyday Aussie block, maybe more tradie style a bit? Guess if you could, pls invite some guest from outback Qld, like north or mid-Qld rural area. I felt their accent can be a real challenge to understand sometimes. Thanks! And Great content!

I have no problem understanding him as I spent a couple of years in Australia many years ago & have some friends and relies (relatives) there now. At first, it was difficult though.

I ended up forgetting about the accent, and instead admire him for his value of apex predators as an important port of the ecosystem.

Mate, I could understand a lot that you two talked in the video! Of course I had to pause sometimes and go back until I understand the aussie slang and some other words that is not comum to a not native English speaker like me (I'm Brazilian, so you can Imagine how difficult it can be to latin american folks). Cheers

That blokes Australian accents sounds more like from the outback/bush/farm

Not really! Everyone here speaks like that. It's just the new generation who speaks in slightly Americanized accent.

Like every other Australian has said - crystal clear.

I'm from Maldives, been in AU for 4 years, I can understand him but occasionally it takes half a second for some words to register.
