Americans don’t think all accents sound the same…
they just haven’t had enough practice yet 😉

As an Aussie living in the US, I’ve lost count of how many times people have guessed my accent as British, Irish, European… or “Australian but kind of British.”

In this video, I break down:

• Why Americans struggle to tell accents apart
• How movies and TV completely wreck our expectations of accents
• Why Australians are just as bad with American accents
• And a quick accent test to see how you go

This isn’t a roast — it’s an observation. Accents carry history, class, culture, and geography… and unless you grow up around them, your brain takes shortcuts.

So be honest 👀
Did the Aussie and Kiwi accents sound the same to you?

From Down Under to Down South — still explaining where Australia is…
one accent at a time.

Hoo roo, maties.
