Being a Canadian, it's still not easy to differentiate an American from a Canadian accent if I'm not actively listening for it, unless they have a very strong American accent or a very strong Canadian one. The easiest way to differentiate American English from Canadian English are in the words like "house, mouse, about, light, write, and sorry". The vowel sounds we make are slightly different, and it's called Canadian Raising. Generally speaking, an American would pronounce "house" as "how-ss", and a Canadian would pronounce it as "huh-wss". Americans pronouncing the words "rider" and "writer" would sounds identical. But a Canadian would pronounce the "i" vowel in "rider" the same way an American does (rye-der), but for the word "writer" we would pronounce it more like "ruh-yder". And for the word sorry, Americans pronounce it like "saw-ree", but Canadians pronounce it like "sore-ee" (rhyming with gory). These don't apply to every single person of course, but is a general difference between our accents.

As an American, I agree with this. If the Canadian accent is region-neutral, I usually can't identify someone's from there until I hear certain word sounds like "house, mouse, about" or like the sound in "again".

I’m American and I mostly agree. Sometimes it’s immediately very obvious to me someone is Canadian and sometimes it’s certain words. Sometimes it’s a matter of I think someone is Canadian who is actually American because of their accent especially if they are from a border state. I have heard people from places like Michigan and Minnesota speak the way you describe for Canadians. I have a friend from MN who says both as boaf. For example bayg for bag in Wisconsin. Do they do that in Canada?

I honestly don't know about the bag vs bayg thing. I personally pronounce it as "bag" (I'm pretty sure there's no hint of a y sound in there). And for the word "again", I say it as "a-gen", and not "a-gayn". And I know it's also a Canadian thing to say "been" as "bean" (as opposed to "bin").

Canadians say "not" in a very particular way, as you can hear at the end there. I'm Canadian-American, and my accent kinda hangs somewhere between the two. It's basically American because that's where I was born and raised, but it definitely has an undeniable Canadian influence, especially on certain words. I also spell things the Canadian way, so my friends think I'm weird. 😅

Poor Soyoon, the others playing tricks with their accents! But the trickery made it fun to watch! Even with Sydney, there were a couple of sentences that sounded Australian! I love Sydney from Canada 🇨🇦 is back! To me, Soyoon had the strongest standard Australian accent because the time she spent there.

So Yoon shouldn't be too disappointed. I as a native English speaker only picked one correctly, my fellow Australian. The British and Canadian women were good vocal mimics.

I love Soyoon’s accent! It has got a really nice welcoming feeling to it! Overall, australian’s accents tend to be my favourite ones.

She said that an easy way to tell an American was the way they pronounce their R's but several regions of the US is non-rhotic and does not pronounce their R's

Plus I think a lot of the Canadian actors work to eliminate certain Canadian aspects of their accents. I forgot her name but I met a Canadian actress at a sci fi convention who told me a director told her to get rid of her accent because she sounded too Canadian. I said I didn’t think her accent was thick but she said previously she had a rural Canadian accent. To me Ryan Reynolds leaned more Canadian as a child actor than he does now. The same happens in the USA with actors with strong regional accents. Anthony Macke says when he auditioned for Julliard they told him to drop his New Orleans accent. He doesn’t use it even in interviews whereas British and Australian actors tend to go back their initial accents when they are not working. I suspect part of it is biases against certain accents as lower class.

Should the title have been 🇦🇺 "An Australian Tries to Find Another Australian"? 🙃 Nevertheless, my favourite country 🇨🇦 mentioned! 🤪 As a hockey-mad Finn 🇫🇮, I've always wanted to learn Canadian English 🇨🇦, but the teaching of English was highly concentrated on British 🇬🇧 and American English 🇺🇸 in high school and in the university's minor subject. So, I decided that I write like the Brits do and speak like the Americans with a little bit of British flavour added to it. Obviously, I call a winter hat as "tuque". It was unintentional, but when I lived in 🇪🇸 Spain because of my studies less than ten years ago, I realized that I say "eh?" a lot in Spanish and English. Only at that point I noticed that it's a feature of CanE too. When I later travelled in Canada, a hotel receptionist warned me that some Canadians might perceive the use of "eh" as an insult. 😳 Since the Finns might say sorry (spelled sori) when speaking Finnish (the native word being "anteeksi"), it was easy for me to learn its CanE pronunciation with an o, not a (initially I used the AmE & BrE one).

Canadian here. For some reason, I have it in my mind that 'mold' is the fungus/rot/whatever while a 'mould' is a form used to shape things. But as I type this, the Canadian-english spellchecker gives 'mold' the red squigglies. So I guess I'm wrong. As for donuts vs doughnuts, I defer to Timothy Horton & his small chain of coffee shops. If they say that Dutchies and Apple Fritters are donuts, then they are.

As a Canadian, I find it hard to distinguish Australian and British accents sometimes. The 'standard' Canadian accent is about 99% similar to a generic American accent. The common way to tell the difference is with words like 'out' and 'about'. Americans poke fun at us all the time because, to them, we sound like we're saying 'oot' and 'aboot'. But conversely, Americans (to us) often sound more like they're saying 'owt' and 'abowt'. There are other differences, but they can be quite subtle. Its probably easier to tell a Canadian from an American with vocabulary, rather than pronunciation. But even then, the differences are rare.
