How To Learn The Australian Accent

[serp3821]

I was watching youtube and was seeing how to learn that Australian accent
Its kind of hard.
The only thing I can say is: Ozzie, Good Eye Mite, Yeh, Crikey!, Oyva (Over), Tod-eye (Today)
and thats pretty much it.
I want to learn more though
whats a fast easy way to learn Australian?

LOL.
I'd love to move to Australia ^-^

I doubt you'd develop an accent if you move there now or in the future.
You pick up accents if your very young. I'd say 10 at the most. Mostly cause if you lived there most of your life,you'll eventually pick it up,due to so many people saying it. Take me for example. I wasn't born in Tennessee but since I lived here since I was 3 I developed a southern/country accent. It's cause the brain picks it up. Sorry to go all scientific on you

Yeah, it's harder to pick up the accent as you get older.  You can always learn the slang though.  Like what something is called there as opposed to here.  Like, in some states Soda is called "Pop" or "Coke" (no matter what it is) or "Soda" (which is what I've always called it) but it's all the same.

Not all Aussie's have the accent. Like, I love there, but I don't talk like that. The only Aussie terms I use are 'mate' and 'aye'

Oh, and btw, it's "Good Aye Mate" not, "Good Eye Mite"
LMAO.

[Majick]

Yeah "Good Aye Mate" sounds more accurate than "Good Eye Mite"
