American vs Australian English | Interview with Stefanie the English Coach

Get my FREE ebook guide to learning Australian English: aussieenglish.lpages.co/ae-gu...
Today, I interview Stefanie the English Coach about learning English ini 2019 and the differences between American English and Australian English.
I often get asked questions like:
- What's the difference between American vs Australian English?
- How should I learn Australian English or American English?
- Is it important to learn Australian English vs American English?
- What's the best way to learn English online?
In this interview, Stef and I have an informal and natural English conversation about her experiences learning foreign languages, her philosophy for teaching English and how ESL students should learn English, as well as how American and Australian English differ.

    Awesome video! What a great interview man! I got your video from Stefanie’s site, and it was so great that I subscribed right away. I’ve been following her for a few weeks now and I find her material not only excellent from the language point of view, but inspiring and aplicable to many aspects of life. By the way, I’ve always been fascinated with Australia, so want a great interview combo! Cheers from Arizona.

    Hello Guys, I've been watching your videos since I've decided to move to Australia. It really feels comfortable and warm while watching your videos, It's like having a conversation with someone giving information about what you really want to learn. So It's been my routine to watch Aussie English and "The English Coach ( Stefanie's channel ) everyday at least 30mins. I've just wanted to thank you for this. Congrats! Keep up the good work!

    As another odd stray thought, as an ELAR classroom teacher of native speakers, I often tell my students that my job is to teach them "standard edited American English" which is a foreign language, but that luckily, it is closely related to the English that they speak at home. Therefore, all I have to teach them is the differences between the two languages. That often helps when I have to teach them the "rules" of English, even though they might argue, "No one really says that."

    Listening to the discussion on how important grammar is or isn't in learning a language brings me back to something I learned in a college linguistics course -- the difference between "grammar" and "usage." And despite the terms, their respective meanings are almost counterintuitive. "Usage" is the term for the actual "official," textbook rules for a language. It covers saying things like "Please hand me something with which to write." And while this is technically correct, the natural way to say that sentence (at least in American English) is "Please hand me something to write with." Saying (or writing things) the way people actually understand them and use them is "grammar." So, when the average person (the nonlinguist) mentions correct "grammar" what they actually mean is correct "usage." If the average person "knows what you mean" and would "say it the same way" the "grammar" is correct, even if the "usage" is not. This is often true, as you and Stefanie have mentioned when language is in transition. For example, commonly people in America will say things like, "Everyone turned in their homework." when the correct usage would be "Everyone turned in his or her homework." This is a natural evolution due to working towards non-gender-biased language without using awkward sentence construction. So, in linguistic terms, the word "they" is in the process of changing from a plural word to an undefined word. In college, one of my professors told me that using "they" in this way would probably become correct usage within 20 years. While it has not completely done so in that time frame, that rule is definitely changing over time, and I suspect will become the norm a generation or so.

    Aussie English, Hey, mate. I'm from Bulgaria, Europe. If you find this as a good idea, will be interesting for me(personally), if you make a video - how to talk about your day/week in English. This is something that it happens to me often with friends, and it's confusing (sometimes) how to explain a situation that has happened, or a plans for the day, or just ideas for tomorrow... How will you structure your conversation, normally. I hope that makes sense. Thanks, and cheers, mate! :) Great, video!

    I totally agree with her when she says about learning like the way children do, because I've studied English for many years (traditional way) and comparing to how I have leaned French (like a child) was much better. I could have a conversation or watch an entire movie in French without captions, while in English took me years to do it. Also struggle with all grammar structure in my mind before speaking... A question to think: do u teach grammar to a child when they are learning their native language? That's why I don't think grammar is really necessary at the beginning.

    Interesting comment about Obama's accent being more neutral, which I totally agree. On the other hand, I watched the Michele Obama Netflix documentary this week and I noticed that her afro-American accent was much stronger than his, despite both being extraordinarily well educated. Maybe because of neighborhood where they grew up?

    I don't know if you know the term, but most of us African Americans are taught to "code switch." Outside of our households and the community, we speak 'properly' or professionally. If you look up videos of Obama with black people, he spoke in a more relaxed state than when he gave a state address. Within our circle we too are more relaxed and slip back into ebonics or, in my case, a more southern, Tidewater accent.

The only question I've got is: why do I understand everything of your natural conversation whereas I'm unable to understand a TV series of film properly? It feels like my cerebro follows you easily and naturally and gets stuck in people's conversations in films. It's so frustrating! 😭

I reckon actors don't think "I'm going to speak so that foreign students can understand me" when they are acting. They just want to win an Oscar!

    Hi this isn’t a criticism I listened to your exchange with great interest but by the end was puzzled that you both use the word ‘like’ constantly. I observed the use of ‘like’ arise in my the speech of my children’s generation and they are now in their late 40’s. It seems to have become an unconscious meaningless filler since we didn’t need the comparison word ‘like’ as a qualifying context since dialog is self explanatory and enough in it’s own right. Nonetheless I found the exchange interesting and I have enjoyed your other videos on what people love or hate about Australia. I have recently had the conversation with American friends that our versions of English are so different. Cheers john
