In this lesson, I'll introduce you to Allan! He's an American 🇺🇸 and he happens to be my brother-in-law!! When we filmed this video, Allan had just arrived in Australia for the very first time... And was feeling confused about some of the Australian slang words he had been hearing!
In his FIRST EVER KZread appearance, he helped me to demonstrate some of the pronunciation differences between the American & Australian English accents!
You'll probably learn some new words too!

I'm South Australian, and our accent is pretty plain. It's still obviously Australian, but I have been mistaken for British once or twice (when talking to Americans). I noticed we pronounce words like dance differently to the eastern states. For example, they'd say dahnce, we'd say dairnce (without the r but as in air).

It's interesting you Aussies call a garage a carport. In NZ a carport is just a roof with poles holding it up that you park your car under and a garage is fully enclosed. Also for a lot of us a garage can mean a petrol station (or garage station), I guess because in the old days most petrol stations had a garage (or a mechanic's workshop) joined onto them, which some still do in the more rural areas.

The lady does have a noticeable Aussie accent but you're right, her accent isn't particularly ocker. There are quite a few of us who speak more like her than Steve Irwin (classic ocker). What makes it more Aussie-fied is the dropping of the double t for a lazy d sound and we don't hang on to the r sound like it's a lifeline.
I've just realised that I've been learning a mix of different pronunciations. Haha! So weird! 😱🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺
Fellow American here. I have pronounced niche as "neesh" for my whole life and now I feel odd because everyone else always says it like "nitch". Sorry patriots, but I have to side with the Aussies on this one.

Barbara Latham actually an American politician thought it would be a good idea to have a language reform and changed a lot of word, both spelling and pronunciation, that is why America is different.
The Aluminum/Aluminium thing has an interesting backstory. The scientist who discovered aluminium was American and named it aluminum. The scientific community suggested that it be called aluminium instead to fit with the other "-ium" elements, which he agreed with. Then a salesman selling aluminium siding looked at the two words and preferred the "-um" version and marketed it as "aluminum siding" in America. Henceforth Americans called it aluminum.

Actually the scientist to name it was British but wasn't able to successfully synthesize it, the first success was made by Danish scientist, Hans Christian Ørsted. The name was originally chosen to be aluminum (consistent with its oxide, alumina). The suffix '-ium' was later proposed by another British scientist to be changed to '-ium' because "aluminum" has a "less classical sound." Both '-um' and '-ium' were used in both the US and Britain until early-mid 20th century.

@@ianmontgomery7534 - Aluminum and Aluminium are spelt differently. All people pronounce each word in the same way (ie: English or Australian people would never pronounce the written word Aluminum as "Aluminium"). What 'no no' wrote above is completely and utterly wrong. That is not how the words came about... at all. A British scientist coined the word 'Aluminum" however for some reason this only remained the norm in the USA, whilst everyone else calls it "Aluminium" now days. Solder is a completely different situation. It is the ONLY word of that letter form that (many) Americans choose to randomly drop (or make silent) the "L". They can all say Folder, Older, Bolder and Colder but they cannot seem to say Solder properly. There is no logical reason for that anomaly, and Americans cannot even notice how silly it is.

i'm a speech language pathologist and this is fascinating! looks like the difference in the double /t/ sounds is that americans tend to voice the sound (turning it into the /d/ phoneme). you can easily test this by putting a hand on your throat and alternating between /t/ and /d/. you'll feel vibrations from the /d/ but not from the /t/. in british english, you'll often hear a glottal stop (like bottle = "bah-ull") in place of a /t/ or /d/ in a medial position.
I'm from the USA and here, I've seen people pronounce the word, mobile as mo-bill and mo-bile. I've also heard people say mobile phone, instead of cell phone, but we don't really use mobile as a noun. I've also heard people say both aunt and auntie and pronounce them the way you do. As far as the pat/ pet thing goes, we do use the word pat, but we use it to mean lightly tapping or stroking something. We then use pet as a noun and a verb to mean what pat means in your country.

I used to work for ALCOA (aluminium company of America) in Perth Australia. In a monthly safety meeting with 100 or so people in it our boss told us that Aluminum was actually a typo in a glossy flier that door to door salesmen would use to sell cladding for houses in the early 1900s in the USA. This was one of the first domestic uses of a metal that had previously hard to produce.
Hello, native English speaker (American) here. It’s really interesting to me that even though the US, Australia, and the UK all speak English, when you take into account the different pronunciations and using different words to refer to different things, and of course slang, it’s almost like we speak a different language!

Your pronunciation is so obvious and I think it's close to the British accent, which is my favorite accent despite the fact that I've learned the American English and studied in the US.

Hi, I’m 59yrs old and an Aussie living in California. Aluminium was discovered by Hans Christian Oersted at 1825 in Denmark. Origin of name: from the Latin word "alumen" meaning "alum" The ancient Greeks and Romans used alum in medicine as an astringent, and in dyeing processes. In 1761 de Morveau proposed the name "alumine" for the base in alum. In 1807, Davy proposed the name alumium for the metal, undiscovered at that time, and later agreed to change it to aluminum. Shortly thereafter, the name aluminium was adopted by IUPAC to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements. Aluminium is the IUPAC spelling and therefore the international standard. Aluminium was also the accepted spelling in the U.S.A. until 1925, at which time the American Chemical Society decided to revert back to aluminum, and to this day Americans still refer to aluminium as "aluminum". Aluminium is one of the elements which as alum or alumen, KAl(SO4)2, has an alchemical symbol (the symbol to the right alchemical symbol of alum (alumen) shows Scheele's symbol, alchemy is an ancient pursuit concerned with, for instance, the transformation of other metals into gold). Aluminium was first isolated by Hans Christian Oersted in 1825 who reacted aluminium chloride (AlCl3) with potassium amalgam (an alloy of potassium and mercury). Heating the resulting aluminium amalgam under reduced pressure caused the mercury to boil away leaving an impure sample of aluminium metal.
Fascinating. I am an American as well. I found his pronunciation of many words to be very different from my own. He sounds like he is from the mis-western US. I am from N.Y. and now reside in the south. This has impacted my speech over the years. I am curious about the impact of regional differences on the Australian accent.

Actually, the Australian and New Zealand accents are noticably different in their vowe sounds. Sometimes Australian's get confused by NZ pronunciation and vice versa!

Mine and a Australian's accents are completely different. 😊 But we pronounce words the same.
British English as well Australian English are both influenced by the French language (vocabulary even in the American English it is the same thing but with an American touch , back to the pronunciation , it is indeed evident , I speak French and can see that ... Thank you Emma , we learn a lot of things :) ;)

Australian english is pretty much just a bag full of words from many different languages, in fact there are many towns and cities that aren't even english words (they're good ol' fashion aboriginal words) 'STRAYA

English evolved out of many languages, the most recent influences being from Norman French from the 1066 invasion when French became the official language. But essentially long posh words are from Latin and the short simple ones are mainly Scandinavian.
On "daughter" your difference is more the dropped "r" again too, although because "r" makes a near diphthong out of whatever vowel it pairs with, your dropped "r" also makes your "e" in the "ter" part now a monophthong, so it can carry more vocal emphasis (with less sounds to wrangle), and maybe that extends to the increased Australian enunciation of the "t" too.
Hi mmmEmma I suggest your chanel all my friends.Your all lessons interesting for me. I think your accent is cultivated,more than 1year I follow you, yesterday I found out there are different accents .

Hi Ellen...its soo warm and interesting listening you both.. And in this video of word/accent or tutorial i found the same mistakes my neighbors use to..mobile phone.cell phone. Mobile phone...no Cell phone...👍
I'm from America and I also pronounce bottle and water with a D. When I pronounce water with the T it just makes the ER sound extremely harsh and forced to me. Pronouncing water with a D sounds much softer to my ears. Australian and British English pronounce the T but not the ER (or very slightly) and it sounds very soft and not harsh to me! I really enjoyed this video! :)
Oh I’m happy tHat have Australian accent at least.. and I need to speak in Australian accent too.. I uselessly was trying on my pronunciation.. I was trying American accent and thought that is Australian accent 😅
Wow, my dialect is something among australian/british and american... I normally pronouce every word like british but I always pronouce the R like americans 😅 correct me if I wrote something wrong cause my english is not perfect especially when I write 😅

Dominik Klon There are places in the U.K. where they also pronounce the r. So you can pronounce r and still have a British accent.
love how you try to distinguish the accents and sounds. so interesting when you break it down. btw, where is this dude from in the US because it changes by state. I pronounce niche, entrepreneur , and turmeric the same as Australians. I need to hit the beach now but I think the most difficult part for my adjustment wast driving! so different driving from the left and also the differences of turning right at traffic lights! still freaks me out when I have to turn right but get in the far left lane in Melbourne and wait till all clear to cross the intersection. love Australia though. very diverse and most people are very accepting to new cultures and open to learning more. great country!
"Mobile" gets a long "i" somewhat regularly (but not always) in technical discussions, such as the "the mobile phase is elluting the analyte faster than the in-situ standard." Or if someone is trying to emphasize the word's meaning, as in, "Ever since she got that titanium knee, Gramma is just so mobile" (with the long "i"). But, yes, for most uses, the second syllable almost gets no vowel, like "MO bl".
Australians add more vowels to words. It's really cute
Very nice 😁

I'm Australian and live in Australia and I pronounce garage the same way as the American guy, I rarely have ever heard it the way the Australian girl pronounces it. I do keep hearing people say the Australian accent sounds like a British accent, which is really interesting, because to me they sound really different because I only notice the differences that make them separate accents to begin with
Thanks and love from italy ! i simply adore you !
my favorite moment is when he pronounces "leisure", and the "caramel" part, when Emma says "sorry what..".....----so hilarious :D

Americans also say utensils for “forks and knives “whereas we day cutlery. They also use the word Napkins for both paper and cloth whereas we say “tissues” or “serviettes” for paper and tea towel or something similar for cloth.
Very nice video. I'm born in Veneto, Italy and i really like to listen and speak english. Never been in Australia... i will do it.
wow
Ahh! So when I though I had a bad pronunciation, in reality I was just sometimes speaking Australian.
Mr Webster started US kids learning words syllable by syllable. That's a large part of the difference. Aus and UK retain the habit of stressing one syllable per word where US tend to alternate stressed and unstressed syllables.
l love your way of pronunciations and also your teaching way .that is really superb

Ant is the pronunciation of Aunt in some states in the US but the regular pronunciation is aunt how she said it.
Oh my God, I cann´t speak American English untill now, because I speak Australian English, great defference between Australian and American English. I am from South Pacific and I speak British and Austrlian English accents but almost two years in Latin America. Some of them speak American English and we cann´t understand each other. Thanks Emma.

I don't think I've ever heard a native Swede who speaks with a truly authentic American or British accent no matter how hard they try. There's always a touch of the melodic/pitchy Swedish accent present which gives it away. I actually love the sound of Swedish accented English and think it sounds great.

I love you 😘 How it pronuciation ☺ thank you Emma the lecture today was very benefit
One funny thing about "niche" I've found is that many Americans pronounce it both ways, depending on the meaning. A physical niche (a recess in a wall) would be pronounced /nich/, but the more symbolic definitions (involving habitat, or employment, etc.) are pronounced /neesh/. So the phrase "find your niche" would always use the latter pronunciation.
the US has some pretty diverse pronunciation differences depending on what region you're from... for example: people from Boston tend to drop the "r" as well

Hi Emma, tank u for a explanation, i'm brazillian learning english.
Don't know if it's the same in the US but here in my part of Canada mobile is pronounced differently depending on it's usage. As an adjective it is mo-bahyl and as part of a noun it is mo-buhl.
@PraetorGames
5 жыл бұрын
Caveat; A babys mobile is always mo-bahyl, despite being a noun. Virgin mo-buhl(proper noun, name), we are mo-bahyl(adjective), mo-buhl home(it's like a compound noun with a space in it), mo-bahyl platform(adjective) As a suffix, -mo-beel.
That's really an interesting video. I've never noticed the difference between Australian and American English 'til I watched this video. I didn't know that you were Australian either, Emma!
