You know how Australians kinda sound British to Americans?Do Americans sound British to Australians?

Question

It would be nice to hear from Australians but open to any thoughts.

Answer 1

I have several friends in Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane, and they have no trouble at all distinguishing Americans from the British. The American accents (even regional ones like Southern, New Yorker, Bostonian, and California) are very distinct, and with the widespread viewing of American films, no one from other countries seems to have any trouble picking an American accent out from the crowd.

They may have American accents down, but could a typical Australian tell the difference between a South Afrikaan, a Kiwi (aka New Zealander), an Irish, a British, a Scottish and a Welsh accent? ;-) Come on, Aussies! Show us what you got!

Answer 2

Australians sound nothing like the British

Answer 3

Well, the British had colonies down in Australia so their accents sound similar but to the British and Australians they sound different. And no we don´t sound British to the Australians because our accents are totally different.

Answer 4

You should rephrase the question to ask for the respondent's national accent, especially to ferret out who has an Australian one.

Answer 5

No, Americans do not. I am an American married to an Aussie and he just says we sound like "Yanks". lol

Answer 6

no they don't. one of my friends is australian and she says we americans talk fast.

Answer 7

Answer 8

British english is the original, you can tell the difference
