Ana	Folklore: How to speak in an Australian accent? (51* d)	RE: Folklore: How to speak in an Australian accent?	24 Jun 11
Why would you want too!! (Joke - I'm a kiwi :) ) Most famous examples - 'fish and chips' - Oz = Feesh and cheeps; Kiwi: Fush and chups or 'dance' - Oz = Dance (as in pants); Kiwi = Dunce (though long vowel) But oz speak is more than an accent! - phrases to practice - nasal 'yeah, gidday airgun?' (yes, good day, how are you going?) or 'kinoath! (exclamation of surprise or agreement - no translation provided) Blokes names; Murray - Muzza. Barry - Bazza Or in shops, assistants all call you dahl (as in darling) which leads to the joke; "my girlfriend is a vegetarian, I call her dahl" No offence intended - OZ and Kiwis have a fun sibling-like relationship :)
