SPEAK Like an AUSTRALIAN: Linking VOWEL SOUNDS With W or Y or R?
Get my FREE ebook guide to learning Australian English: aussieenglish.lpages.co/ae-gu...
Hey there, I'm Pete Smissen, the host of the Aussie English Podcast, and today, I'm going to teach you how to speak like an Australian by nailing the linking vowel sounds with w or y or r!
I often get asked questions like:
- How do I link two vowel sounds together in English?
- When do I use the /r/, /w/ or /y/ sound when linking vowels?
- How can I sound Australian? / How can I do an Australian accent?
- How to speak english like an Australian?
- How and when do I use the intrusive r and linking r in English?
- How to do linking vowel sounds with w or y?
Australian English pronunciation is different from American English and British English pronunciation, so if you want to nail that Australian accent when speaking English, there are three rules to learn when linking vowel sounds.
There's linking vowel sounds with y, linking vowels with w, or using the intrusive r or linking r to link vowel sounds.
Today, I'm going to teach you how and when to link vowel sounds in spoken English, so you can speak like an Australian and perfect that Australian accent!
Let me know what you think in a comment below :) Which of these sounds is the hardest for you to pronounce?

I feel like one of the best ways to learn ANY accent is by hearing it A LOT

The first vocal coach I have seen to identify the linking r sound in Australian accent! Non-Australian vocal coaches don't pick it up so they end up sounding British.

Aussie English, Naaaaah, it was fun, but personally I was hoping you have some sort of a trick. - It's like, the more you learn the easier and faster you expect everything to happen. Or at least I will explain it, this way. Cheers! And thanks, again!
I was bored and decided I wanted to learn to speak with an Australian accent and came upon your videos!! They're awesome, keep it up!
thank's so much for your lessons, i'm a french girl and i want to go in Australia , and your videos are so precious for me. Good job mate!!
I'm originally from Sweden and lived in Australia for about 6 months when I was studying overseas at Uni. My English was already excellent and did not need to practice it but came across this series and starting listen closely to it because I wanted to sound more native, after the 6 months in Aus, spending time with native Aussies and listening to key sounds like these, I gave my accent a "kick" in the right direction. Now I'm living in the UK 2 years after living in Aus and people keep asking me if I am from Australia, now I'm stuck with the accent and I'm loving it 😂
Never had I actually paid attention to Australian English..Great! Greetings from Brazil, mate!

We've already dominated the world with one word. We are making rounds on a second one now.
I'm Australian and I love watching videos like this to learn more about my own accent and maybe even try to exaggerate it a bit more lol But every time I find out a new weird thing about my accent that I didn't know about I'm immediately like "Wait what???? The fuck??????" and then I try it out and am mind-boggled
I subscribed to your channel as a result I changed my accent from American to Aussie lol
Thank you for being an amazing resource! I found you because I am trying work on accents for a dungeons and dragons game I'm running, and I didnt want all the people in the world to sound like they are from the American Midwest. Your videos have been EXTREMELY HELPFUL. 💛
You put so much effort in all your videos! Amazing job
I love to speak Aussie english but it's a bit difficult.
I never had a proper accent.... not british, not american, not australian...well at least I thought so.😂 A lot of people kept telling me I have kind of an australian accent, even though I don’t have anything to do with Australia. 😂🤦♀️ After watching a few of your Videos, I get why people are telling me that my accent reminds them of an australian accent 😂

Hello Pete , i'm really chuffed by this lesson. Great and fantastic. Thanks mate. He /y/ eats the food after his work is done. He /y/ often watches Australian movies. The war /r/ is over. This arvo it is going to rain. He /y/ always goes to the bottlo to buy chokkies and chewies. I don't know why he suddenly becomes aggro. Now I remember, he called the ambo but it arrived very late. He /y/ is having brekkie /y/ at the cafe round the corner.

Thank you for this helpful tips
Interesting! Keep it up this work.
I love Aussie english. Willing to learn it.
very helpfull thanks alot
Thank you very much! I have learned a lot from your videos!
On the intrusive R: It trips a lot of foreigners up when us Aussies pronounce 'Yeah, hey' as yeah ray. People have even asked me 'what do you mean by the word 'Rizz'' when I was saying 'is'.
Thank so much
Thank you a lot for this video.
"For example: 'LOWR rhymes with FAUXR and DOUGHR...'" Why do you add an "R" to such words? And then we he says the word "ARE" it sounds like he's saying "AAAHHH" ?

The linking r sound is a revelation of sorts. I've wondered why I hear an 'r' unnecessarily in several British accents and was thinking 'I am imagining'. I hear this in Formula 'r' E or something like that.

Great Smissen, I found you on Spotify.
Wow never knew I already did that until I saw the video
Could you recommend some Australian book should I learn ( listening and speaking skills) ?
Okay, where should to get down that r sound in words like “home” “so” and “zoom” and “below”. I can’t articulate what I’m asking for better than that, but I’m sure you know what I mean! : ) Loved the video M8, yeah it’s an ace!

Being indians, we are lucky to have our roots of Sanskrit and therefor easily pick multipal pronunciations.
Hi Pete, how will you find where to not connect when a sentence has many words end with consonant and start with vowel? For example "Law and order is important in economy" (Please don't worry about the meaning) I don't think you would connect all but I'd like to know how you think where to connect and not to. Thank you in advance! X
Please Could you make a video a1 to b2 And connected speech a lot of examples thank you 😊
You did very well

I laughed when you said "even if it has shitty spelling"! I speak fluent Strayan, but still watch in fascination....

"However, a linking /r/ can occur when a word that has a final in the spelling comes before another word that starts with a vowel. An intrusive /r/ may similarly be inserted before a vowel in words that do not have in the spelling in certain environments, namely after the long vowel /oː/ and after word final /ə/. This can be heard in "law-r-and order," where an intrusive R is voiced after the W and before the A." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_English To put it simply, The "linking /r/" sound appears between words that end in /r/ such as 'car' and before words starting with a vowel (sound) such as 'alarm'. [ "Car (r) alarm" ] The "intrusive /r/" sound appears before words starting with a vowel (sound) but the preceding word may not end in a /r/ but instead can come after a different vowel sound. This is usually /oː/ and /ə/. Saw IPA in Austrlaian is /soː/ /soː/ - /r/ - /ɪt/
