2. British – Southern (Received Pronunciation or RP) A neutral accent mostly spoken in the south-east of England, but widely considered to be ‘standard’ British English pronunciation.

9. Australian Like any other country, there are a variety of regional accents across Australia, but a general, mellow Aussie accent should be quite easy to recognize. The accent developed from colonists in the south of England and as such, it is loosely related to the modern Cockney accent, but with a bit of a twang. Key features: Words like ‘write’ and ‘drive’ with an ‘ i ’ sound become more like ‘oi’ sounds, but not overly emphasized Hard ‘a’ sounds become softer ‘aye’ sounds, almost like an ‘eye’ sound – in words like ‘way’ and ‘date’ Harsh ‘t’ sounds at the end of words are replaced with glottal stops – like stopping the end of the word in your throat ‘R’ sounds are dropped and replaced with ‘ah’ sounds – ‘shiver’ becomes ‘shiv-ah’ and ‘car’ becomes ‘ cah ’

11. Canadian If you’re not a native American English speaker, you’ll probably find it quite hard to tell the difference between any American accent and a Canadian one, but there are some differences. Key features: Words with an ‘ ou ’ or ‘ ue ’ are typically pronounced ‘ oo ’ – ‘about’ becomes ‘ aboot ’ and ‘Tuesday’ becomes ‘ Tooz -day’ The letter ‘z’ is pronounced as ‘zed’, not ‘zee’ like in American accents ‘Eh’ (pronounced ‘hay’) instead of ‘huh’ is more common – ‘The weather is nice, eh?’ instead of ‘The weather is nice, huh?’
