Speak like a (South) Australian in 10 Easy Steps

Step 1: Put on your best British accent

Step 2: Take away the r when it follows a vowel in the middle of a word e.g. art becomes awt and performance becomes pefomance.

Step 3: Add those r’s to the end of words that end in ‘a’ like Canadr and Cynthir.

Step 4: Take out the ‘t’ in the numbers 13 – 19.

Step 5: Replace the ‘hard’ o sound with ‘oi’. No = noi, so = soy etc.

Step 6: Replace the ‘ou’ sound with ‘ew’, you sounds like yew and exagerate the w.

Step 7: Add ‘Awwwww’ or ‘Yeaaaaaa’ to the beginning of most sentences.

Step 8: Replace ‘I think’ or ‘I feel’ with ‘I reckon’.

Step 9: Greet people with Haw yar gawin? or Good eye might.

Step 10: Hold your nose through steps 1- 9. (Aussies sound nasal due to all the pollen here.)
