One language, three accents

Has it happened to you that, while watching an English movie, you can´t understand a word of some of the characters although you perfectly understand others?

I´m guessing that is has happened, right?

Why? Probably, because of the actor´s nationality and accent.

As you know, there at least three different countries where English is their native language: United Kingdom, United States and Australia. Even though their natives speak English, there are a bunch of differences between their accents, pronunciation and even vocabulary.

To help you dealing with this problem I recommend you to watch this short video comparing the pronunciation and vocabulary of British, American and Australian English.

 


Did you enjoy it? Did you learn something new?

Please, write in the comments below which English do you find more difficult to understand.

For me, without any doubt, the Australian English is the toughest, so if you want to learn more about it watch this video lesson with the famous Australian song Down under (Men at work).
