I'm fair dinkum Aussie and I just don't get what's so funny about us speaking normal English... We all talk like that in the bush, only, perhaps a bit slower than city types....Women do, too. Female friend just asked if anybody has a fag as she's desperate for one and that she needs to take a leak. A pair of shocked female English migrant eyebrows shoot up as she goes: What did you just say,? You want a WHAT? You're so crude and vulgar and nothing's leaking in my house. The Aussie friend replid 'a ciggie, mate, even a rollie will do,when I get back from the loo, before I have an accident snd pee all over your clean floor.I 'm desperate to go....' 'Crazy sheila' one of the blokes mumbled. English lady looks perplexed as the mention of sheila, a normal English female name but very derogatory male sexist word for 'woman' in Australia. You just do not name you daughter Sheila here, unless you hate her. Or something as obscene as Fanny, referring to female vagina, in Australia. You hear all these Yanks trying to market 'Fanny bags' to Aussie women giving them weird looks. 'A what? You can't possibly fit any twot into one of those bags. Typical big American con, they must think we're stoopid or something...' one bold Aussie woman finally spoke out, about Yanks taking over Australia. The polite US saleslady just didn't get it. Another Aussie then asked if she had any decent "Bum bags' for sale. The polite American sales lady apologised about having none and was then accused of lying, by the rest of the Aussie women present. 'What's that fanny bag one you just tried to flog us? Looks more like it could be used as a bum bag, not for carrying a woman's fanny in. Now why on earth would we need a Fanny bag to carry out vaginas in?' they all agreed. The poor nice US lady bags saleswoman finally gave up and politely excused her self, to leave, no sale was made, tbough she wanted to sell a bag and they wanted buy one. But which kind. ? All looked the same but had a different noun to denote a bag that is worn over the shoulder, at hip length, often hitting a woman's butt as she walks, hence the Aussie 'Bum bag' the yanks call a Fanny Bag and that sales lady felt insulted thinking the Aussie women were describing her bags as bags for poor, down and out desitute street bums etc. When they were stylish, high class shoulder bags.

I understood every single word without a problem as a German who's never been to Australia. 15 seasons of Bondi rescue prepared me for this moment 😂

But I have had teachers from almost every anglophone countries throughout my school years since international schools (at least those outside anglophone countries) mainly recruit expatriated anglophone teachers. So that may have helped.

My wife is Irish (from Dublin) and we visit her family in Ireland every couple of years. The first trip I made to Ireland I was prepared to struggle a bit with the accents, particularly on the west coast of Ireland where the accents are very thick. But what I wasn't ready for was that they weren't able to understand me either, and my accent isn't even that broad by Australian standards. I found I had to adjust the way I spoke and change some of the words I used to fall in line with local colloquialisms otherwise I had no chance of being understood. I ran into a fellow Aussie in a pub in Kenmare once and we both fell back into a regular conversation, after a little while we became aware that we'd gathered a bit of an audience, and my wife (who was used to it) doing a bit of translating. Apparently when we lapsed into our regular Australian way of talking they couldn't understand most of it. That was pretty funny. I didn't pay for a single drink after that, they wouldn't let me, they just asked me to "say something in Australian".

lets be fair, the accent isnt necessarily the hard part most of the time, this dude was real easy to understand (im an american). the hard part is usually going to be if you use slang very heavily. thats where stuff may get lost in translation so to speak. at least for english speakers that is, thats when something is going to sound like a different language when you are using your local slang very casually.

Being Australian, this conversation makes complete sense. My first reaction was "how could anyone not understand this" But as it's broken down, I can actually see now how it could be found difficult to understand as a foreigner.

9:20 The exaggeration of his accent in the impersonation "don't be a hero mate" is hilarious, it makes his normal accent sound so measured and ordinary in comparison and paints a great character for the other guy. Either way this guy's accent is fairly easy to understand, a strong Aussie accent does stand out but it is pretty clear unlike strong Northern Irish, scouse or Scottish accents.

What was interesting was Lisa Wilkinson slightly became more informal and casual with her speaking style too and slightly changed her pitch to the more broad accent. Instead of her professional formal, highly cultivated TV presenter style. I think she did this subconsciously to be relatable and mirror the tone of Daniel.

Lisa has a "performance" background so probably mimicking accents comes naturally and like you said she does it subconsciously. My sister is the same and when she visited London England for a year within a week picked up the local accent. She lost it a week after she came back. A friend who I played in bands with, went to live in the USA. He got so annoyed with everyone stopping him to "say something in Australian", that he would study the local accent and the consciously mimic it so he wouldn't attract attention. He didn't find it difficult to do.

Not exactly. When I was younger I pondered how you can tell who is or is not your mate. I figured best was : if trouble occurs, like a fight in a pub, your mates are the ones you'd step in to help. Is "dude" like that ? Mateship is a major aspect of Australia, what's the dude equivalent ?

I've lived in Mexico, Chicago, and California all my life and I understood every word he said.

I feel like most Aussies don't acknowledge any levels of class and bloaks like this are loved throughout.

Yeah, there's a level of that. There's still the class divide in that we're aware it exists economically, socially, educationally, but I think a lot less stigma and negativity is involved.

@@natnat5082 then that is their problem, we all love our Aussie "bogans" (I don't mean that in a derogatory way) I was raised on Sydneys north shore (Pymble) and married a man from Campbelltown (back in the 70’s) at first my parents were horrified but ended up absolutely loving him, his integrity, his work ethic, his honesty, and the fact he treated me like gold and was a fantastic father. Funny thing is my parents (Mum especially) picked up a lot of his expressions and wasn't shy to use them.

As an Australian, I find it's mainly older people of English descent who still care about 'class'. My street is made up of people of all occupations - from Doctors to supermarket workers. The older tradie is probably the wealthiest of all, lol. I love that there's no class crap here.

What a legend... onya Daniel. The Aussie slang has worked its way into my heart, but when I first arrived in Australia and hopped off the plane (😆🤣) and on my way to the hotel I was booked into... I stopped at a milkbar to buy a pkt of smokes and the lady behind the counter said... anwhawill itbee-luuv in a high pitched nasally drawl that instantly made me recoil in disbelief and horror hahaaa, I remember thinkin I will NEVER pick up the aussie accent, because of her drawl. yet 46 yrs on and yep you guessed it every now n then I can slip into the drawel and slang bit just like any good ol ocker can. Hahaaaahaa. Most people can still pick up on my Kiwi accent after all these yrs but now I have an Aussie/Kiwi twang that has me calling myself a Kwaussi now an lovinit 😂😆🤣

As an Australian, I understood the whole thing😂 I remember seeing it for the first time and I was weak😂😂

Yeah, As an Aussie he did not seem particularly hard to understand. I can think of a lot more Aussies that would be harder to understand for overseas people and use way more slang. Scoot down the road was only time I felt someone overseas may have thought he literally meant a scooter and then maybe confused.

Great interview and l understood what he was talking about because l am Australian and am 69 years old and have heard many slang terms in my life

"I am not trying to be hero, mate. I am trying to be mate." -Mate

I am from Poland, and whenever I feel sad - I just need to listen to Daniel :) He is so humble and honest - and funny Aussie :D Thank you @AussieEnglish for all of the explanations - by myself, I understood like 90% of what he was sayin' (:P) - now I know everything!

Been here for 4 months now. I’ve started understanding the accent a bit better now. I didn’t get a single word before and would always go “huh” but not as often anymore!

As a Londoner that for me was a lot easier to understand than some of our British accents.

I still remember watching the news and then watch that legendary interview. I didn't really understand sh*t at first but I laughed a lot, then realized it blew internet at that time. Cheers !

As someone from rural QLD I understand everything that he said. We still use those words out here although most not as liberally as Daniel there. I was slightly surprised that people in Brisbane still spoke that way, but I'm glad. Enough with trying to bring US culture here.
