    HOW TO SPEAK NZ: 1) Pronounce the 'ER' sounds at the end of words as 'AH'. Because we're lazy af. 2) Never pronounce the 'R', like... ever. 3) Add 'as' at the end of things as a SPOKEN exclamation point... haha. Eg: Fast as. Slow as. Cool as. Dope as. 5) Add 'aye' at the end of things to have someone agree or disagree with you. Eg: That's cool as, aye? This smells good as, aye? This song is pretty dope, aye? 6) Add 'PRETTY' to the beginning of things, also as a spoken exclamation mark, like 'AS'. Not sure why this is, but it's a thing. Eg: This is pretty cool. This pie is pretty nice. That house is pretty flash (flash means really fancy looking). 7) Use a lot of slang. EG 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 NZ1: Yeeyur. This pie is nice as. NZ2: Gizz a taste. bites pie Oh yeah, hard. My pie is pretty munted. NZ1: Unluggyyyyyy. NZ2: Swapsies bro? NZ1: Yeah, nah. Gap it, g. NZ2: Aw guuuuhmon.

    Seems to be only Americans who have trouble with other English accents, I guess it’s because your country is so large you don’t look outside it much, I am a kiwi so we grow up with lots of grandparents who are Scott’s, Irish and British, many kinds of European English, and of course growing up watching American movies and music you just get used to every English accent.

There are different dialects of English, so it’s not unnatural for speakers of different dialects to have trouble with languages in an asymmetrical manner, with one speaker understanding the other, and the other one struggling.

    STILL... I do love the Kiwi accent and I think it's one of the most beautiful English accents ever. I lived in NZ for three months and I picked the accent, well mostly, and a few Kiwi slang words. So when I moved back to the UK, I spoke with a thick Kiwi accent and used some Kiwi slang in conversations. I loved seeing people intrigued, wondering about the accent or asking me if I was Kiwi. Problem is, I am not English myself and English is not even my first language hhhhhhh

    As an American with a neutral accent, I also tend to talk too fast. It's only a problem with the older folks and when I was teaching English to second language learners. I had to learn to talk slowly so they could understand me in the classroom. Slang? No, keep the slang, but learn to weed it out in certain conversations. Slang identifies individual dialects and is awesome to hear and learn.

    Once I had a New Zealander CEO back in Switzerland. He had an even thicker Kiwi accent than most people in this video. However I never had any trouble of understanding him, despite of the fact that I am not a native speaker and I only started learning English after I turned 15 plus I learned the language in Canada, which is on the other end of the spectrum of English accents. I also worked with a South African lady and her accent was a little bit similar to Kiwi, but Kiwi is just way cooler. I just enjoy listening to New Zealanders talking with thick Kiwi accent :) But when I had some business trips to the UK and had to talk with blue-collar real English people while I was on factory visits I just ran into some people I could not understand more than 20-30% it was really awkward to me, because I thought I speak English at an almost native level, most Canadians think I am from the US while, Americans think I am from Canada, and they all get surprised when they realize I am from Europe.

    Without coming off as xenophobic but speaking from experience as a foreign language student, these people need to take the liberty to study not only the English language but also the dialect of where they are living. I'm a New Zealander living in Brazil. I've been here for two years and I understand about 90 percent, if not more, of what people say, even when they use slang. This is because I pay a lot of attention to how they speak here because I like to be able to understand people where I live. Expecting locals to change their way of speaking as a means of catering to foreigners is a pretty ridiculous concept. When people here realise that I'm not a local they often start speaking overly slowly to me, but I make it clear that I understand Portuguese spoken at a faster pace. This is partly due to the fact that Brazilians can be very helpful, but, for me, it's not necessary.
