Episode notes
Australian R Pronunciation
- Replace 'r' at the end of words with 'ah', like 'car' becomes 'cah'.
- Insert an 'r' between vowel sounds in connected words, like 'Fiona is' becomes 'Fiona-r-is'.
T and D Sounds
- To avoid a British-sounding 'what', stop the sound with your tongue instead of your throat.
- This technique also applies to the 'd' sound in words like 'good'.
The 'O' Sound
- For a Sydney 'no', start with 'oo' and widen your mouth like 'noooh'.
- An Adelaide 'no' is more like 'no' with the tongue moving inward.
