G'day guys.
Welcome to this episode of Aussie English.
Today, I want to teach you how to pronounce all the English vowels in Australian English
like a native.
Let's go.
So, as I'm sure you guys are aware English has 20 different vowel sounds.
That's a lot of vowels.
Australian English is, obviously, no exception.
We have these 20 vowel sounds as well.
However, they're pronounced slightly differently from say, American English, British English,
or New Zealand English, etc.
Today, I want to teach you how to pronounce these like a native speaker of Australian
English.
We'll go through all 20.
I'll give you three examples.
Treat it as a listen and repeat exercise, guys, and let's get your pronunciation to
the next level.
Let's go!

So, I hope you enjoyed this episode, guys.
Keep listening, keep repeating.
Use it to find the vowels that you find the most difficult.
And then, try to find words that have those vowels and practice the difficult ones again
and again and again.
The majority of these you're going to find incredibly easy, I can tell!
But there's always one or two that are quite tricky depending on your mother tongue, whether
you use this vowel or not.
So, keep listening, keep repeating, and your pronunciation is only going
to improve, guys.
Thanks again, and I'll see you soon.
Peace out!
