There are different types of English, I mean Australian English, British English and American English. The following article is about Australian English, it´s idiomatic expressions, pronounciation and other interesting facts. You willl see that there are many differents between Australian English and American English or British English.

First I will talk about the pronounciation of AusE (Australian English). Australians pronounce the /t/ like a /r/. It is called „t-flap“. That means that your tounge touches the roof of your mouth for a very short time and then moves back to the front of your mouth. The „t-flap“ is used by words like butter, better or difficulty.

Also exciting is that words with the ending „-er“, „-our“, „-re“, „-or“… are pronounced /a/. Another difference is that the word „sweater“ is not used in Australia. They say jumper.

Australian people use hypocoristics and word formation processes. In a word formation you can take two words and add them together, for example „wheelchair“ or „textbook“. Another form is when you take letters from two words and mix them to one word, for instance „breakfast“ and „lunch“ to „brunch“.

To use the hypocoristic form, you clip a word ( AustralianàAus ) and add another suffix            ( AusàAussie). When the hypocoristic form contains an /s/ sound, they pronounce it like a /z/.

Another point ist hat Australia has many idioms. An idiom is an expression with a meaning that can´t be guessed from the meaning of the individual word. An example for an idiom is      „dry as a dead dingo´s dongo“. If something is dry as a dead dingo´s dongo, it is very dry indeed. Or „up a gum tree“ If you are up a gum tree, you are in trouble or a big mess.

All in all you see, Aus Eis different to AmE or BrE. It is interesting to know how some words are pronounced or to know some idioms. I think it is important to know these facts when you travel to Australia, especially when you move to Australia.

Australians love sport and they also love watching it. They have own barracks, wich means that they have their own way to cheer on a team like „Chewie on ya boot !“ which is a traditional taunt to a member of the opposing team who is trying to kick a goal. They even created their own sports like Football or Rugby.

The pronounsiation of Australian English is also a bit different because it is rothic. For example when you speek it, you often use the “t-flap” which sounds like a “d” (ɾ). When you do that sound your tongue goes all the way up to the roof of your mouth and touches it a little bit. When you say water in Australian English it sounds like wada and that’s because of another rule, the “a” sound. You often use this sound at the end of a word, ending with -ure, -er, -or, -ar, -our, -a and -re. But when you look at their barracks you often wonder what it means. I can only name some like “Carn” which means “Come on !” or “avagoyermug !” which means “Have a go, you Mug !”. Some words are not used in Australian English eather like “sweater”, so they usually use other word like “jumper”.

In my opinion Australian English is cool because you can speek it very chilled. And I also like that that they have so funny barracks like “avagoyermug !” and expressions too. The sports are cool too because you need to trust your mates and play with and for your mates to have a good match, so teamwork is a big must.

Australians love watching sport. In fact, they watch so much sport that watching sport has become a sport in itself in Australia. You only need a big-screen TV or you go to a pub which get sports channels beamed in via satellite. You also need alcohol in a fridge and snacks. The main sports in Australia are football and cricket.

In Australian English, the “t“ in difficulty and better is pronounced like a “d“ or a “t-flap. When pronouncing this sound, the tongue briefly touches the roof of the mouth for a short time and moves back to the back of the mouth. An intenocalic “t“ is usually pronounced “d“ in AusE( Australian English). For example, Aussies( the inhabitants of Australia) shares t-flapping with many other varieties of English. In this regard, Australian English is more similar to American English than to British English. Australian English and American English are rhotic, British English is non-rhotic.

Finally Australian English is the easiest English beacause you can let out some letters in the pronounciation and I think Australian English sounds really cool.

 Australians are maybe very crazy when they watch or when they do sports. As a result in football the players do not have any protectors and it is a very hard game.

Hello and welcome to my article about Australian Sports ,the Australian pronounciation and Australian  sights

First of all i want to talk about Australian Sports .

The most of Australian sports are footy (football) and cricket . The term Footy,however ,refers to different codes of football in different states .There is also a classic football phrase that is called : Chewie on ya boot. That means that a opposing team wants to kick a goal . They also play rugby and they have eleven teams . The finals are always held in the last week of september . They also like to go surfing .

In Australian English ,the /t/in difficulty and better is pronounced like a /r/or a t-flap . When you have to pronounciate this sound , the tongue moves back to  the back of the mouth after briefly touching its roof . The pronounciation mostly depends an the dialect oft he speaker . A different from AusE is BrE because in England some people produce a so called “glottal stop “ in their throat instead of a /t/.The t-flap can be used when a word ends with vowel ,then a/t/ and the next word starts with a vowel . A interesting fact about the Australian English pronounciation ist hat the sweater in American English pronounciation is called „Jumper“ in Australia . One of the most famous sights is the Great Barrier Reef . Its the the only living thing that you can see from space with the naked eye . The Great Barrier Reef is more than 2000 kilometers long and has more than 1500 species of fish, 200 species of birds and 400 species of corals . Dolphins ,Whales , sea snakes and saltwater crocodiles can also be found there . The Great Barrier reef is sadly in danger because of the climate change and the pollution from rivers ,farms and cities on the coast.

This information text is about the favourite australian sports and the special australian english pronounciation.

Australians love sports and they also like watching it. In fact watching sports has become a sport itself all over the world.

For the Australians sport is very important. The main sports are Footie, which is the australian version of Soccer, Cricket and Union Rugby, which is the old version of the rugby, that is practiced today.

Now lets talk about the special australian english pronounciation. For example the letter t in difficulty and in the word better is pronounced like difficulry and bera. This type of pronouncing the letter t is called t-flapping. It is t-flapping, because in australian english, when you for example say better, you don’t pronounce it like a normal t. You have to flap your tongue to the top of your mouth. Now the t does not sound like a t  anymore, now it sounds like you trill the r. It sounds similar to the spanish r.

For british english speaking people it is difficult to understand australian english speaking people and vice versa.

But as Australia once was a british colony the languages resemble to one another.

The most Aussis (Australians) loves  watching[e1] [e2]  and playing sport. The two most popular sports in Australia are football and cricket, but the Australians have strange rules for watching the matches  for example: they go in a pub or watch the games on TV. Rugby is the main winter sport. The most sports are also played by womans.

The hypocoristics is a very difficult word, in some of these forms Australians take the final part away or use an other suffix for example: jurno is the same as jurnalist, gifty = gift. The t-flapping is if the tongus flaps on the roof oft he mouth of a person when he/she pronounce the /r/.It is  the pronunciation of /t/ as /r/ between  vowels in words like “better“ /bera/.

In the Australian English they have the /a/. If the word ends to ure, er, or, ar,our,a and re. In the Britisch English(BrE) there isn´t a /r/.

My opinion to the Australien English is that  I like it, because the languege is very important and the sports are very exciting.

There are three different kinds of English: British English (BE), American English (AE) and Australian English (AuE). Of course there are some differences between these types of English like for example different expressions and grammar. The following text gives you some interesting information about Australian English.

First I’m talking about some expressions that are different in Australian English. Australiens say ”usendn’t to” instead of ”didn’t use to” and ”my same” instead of ”the same”

In Australian English the names of sport teams can be either singular or plural. For example: West Coast (football team) ”is doing well” or ”are doing well”.

Aussies also use the word ”youse” as the plural of ”you”, for instance: ”Where are youse going?”

The second topic deals with shortened forms which is something very special about Australian English.  Australians like to take the first part of a word and then finish it off with ”-ie” or ”-o”, which sounds very funny, for example ”sunglasses” are sometimes called ”sunnies”, ”Australians” are called ”Aussies”, ”brekkie” instead of ”breakfast” and many more.

The ending ”-ie” can also be added to an adjective and then creates a useful new word like green → greenie (a person caring about the environment)

In Australian English you may find words ending in ”-ie” also spelled with the ending ”y”. The word ”cabby” can also be spelled ”cabbie”, but there are no specific rules for that.

All in all Australian English is quite different from American or British English because they use different expressions and some really weird and funny shortened forms.

I don’t really like AuE because it’s extremly confusing although some of the words are really funny and interesting.

Australian English is not the English that we already know. It has different pronunciations, word formation and many other things that tell Australian English apart from British and American English. Therefore I will tell you more about Australian English.
The first fact is the word formation process. It has four kinds’ compound, blending, clipping and acronym. The first word formation process is compound. It means that you take two words and put them together like football. The whole word is a special kind of the final word (ball). The second word formation process is Blending. It means that you fuse the first letters of a word and the final part of the second word like breakfast &lunch➔ brunch. The third word formation process means that you take a part of a word and left the rest of the word like camera➔ cam. This word formation process is called clipping. The last word formation process is acronym. It is used in words like GB. You take the first letter of the words and pronounce it like a single word (Great Britten➔ GB).
The second fact is the pronunciation. The endings -ure, -er, -or, -ar, -our, -a, -re in words like water are pronounce as /a/ /wɔ:ta/, in Br /wɔːtə/ and in AmE it is pronounced /wɑtər/. But it is not the only different pronunciation in Australian English. The “t” in words like better is pronounced like a /ɾ/ or “t-flap”. It means, that the tongue moves back in the mouth after spelling the /ɾ/. It usually occurs between two vowels. The last facts are Aboriginal words and idiomatic expressions in Australian English. An example for an Aboriginal word is Jumper. Jumper means sweater in American English. An example for an idiomatic expression is “It is raining cats and dogs”. It doesn´t mean that it´s raining cats and dogs, It means that it is raining heavily. All in all you see that Australian English is like a own language. It has many differences between British English and American English like the pronunciation of water and the t-flap. I hope that I helped you with Australian English.

In Amerika, Australia and in GB isn`t spoken the same“English“. There is a Aussie English in Australia, British English in GB an American English, yes in America. It is logical that in differents countries are spoken other colloquialisms.

For example in Australia a lot auf words end with a /a/ or are pronounced with /r/. The /r/ is called the „t-flap“ , it is used in Oz. Oz means Aussie and Aussie means Australia. Oz is an example for Hypercoristic. There are a lot of more examples like mozzie which means mosquito, fantazzo means fantastic or gifty means gift. You see Englisch is a very creative language. Also people who speak English, add words and than have a new word for example text and book is textbook. There is also something called blending, it means that the first half of a word is connected with the second part of a other word for example breakfast and lunch iis called brunch.

They also cut words or let the final part out. Sometimes they use the intital letters of words and put them together into a new word. For example USA or CD.

So English is a very creative and sometimes a really strange language, but we also have it in German and Austria or Swiss. Or even in Germany for examples moin and servus.

English is spoken all over the world, so there are many different kinds of English. British English (BrE), American English (AmE) and Australian English (AusE). My article is about Australian English, I will talk about idioms, hypocoristics and the pronunciation. In the following article you will see that not every English is the same.

First, I’ll talk about Australian idioms. An idiom is an expression with a meaning that cannot be guessed from meanings of the individual words. An example for an idiom is “Mad as a cut snake”. If somebody is mad as a cut snake, he lost all sense of reason, is crazy, out of control.

Next, I will talk about the pronunciation of Australian English.

Words that are spelled with the syllables -ure,- er, -or, -ar, -our, -a, -re are pronounced /a/. (For example, water is pronounced at the end, in Australia with an -a in England with an -e and in America with -er.)

Australians pronounce the /t/ like a /r/ or “t-flap”. When pronouncing this sound, the tongue doesn’t touch the roof of the mouth for a long time, the tongue moves back to the back of the mouth after briefly touching it’s roof. For example: difficulty and better.

Another fact is, that people in Australia use different words for things like people are used to, for example, they don`t use the word sweater, they usually use the word ‘jumper’.

People in Australia also use hypocoristics and word formation procresses. This means that the people sometimes change words or add them together, so that they get ( create) a new word. For example, ‘smoke’ and ‘fog’ to “smog”. Or they leave the final part out, to get just a part of the word. For example, flu (from influenza).

Often you split a word (Australia-Aus) and add another suffix (Aus-Aussie).

All in all, people all over the world say, that is very difficult to understand the type of English, which is spoken in Australia. People describe it like a mumbling.
