G'day guys.
Welcome to this episode of Aussie English.
Today, we're going to learn how to pronounce 15 of Australia's largest cities with an Aussie accent.
Let's go.
So, not only am I going to teach you the 15 largest Australian cities and how to pronounce
them with an Australian accent today, guys,
but we're also going to practice the contraction of "Going to", "Going to".
And this gets contracted all the time by native Australians to "Goin'ah", "Goin'ah".
"I'm going to the shops", gets contracted as, "I'm goin'ah the shops".
So, let's get started.
Sydney
I'm going to Sydney.
I’m goin’ah Sydney
Melbourne
You're going to Melbourne
You’re goin’ah Melbourne
Brisbane
He's going to Brisbane
He’s goin’ah Brisbane
Perth
She's going to Perth
She’s goin’ah Perth
Adelaide
We're going to Adelaide
We’re goin’ah Adelaide
The Gold Coast
They're going to The Gold Coast
They’re goin’ah The Gold Coast
Newcastle
I'm going to Newcastle
I’m goin’ah Newcastle
Canberra
You're going to Canberra
You’re goin’ah Canberra
The Sunshine Coast
He's going to The Sunshine Coast
He’s goin’ah The Sunshine Coast
Wollongong
That's a hard one.
We're going to Wollongong
We’re goin’ah Wollongong
Hobart
And notice the "T" gets muted. Hobart.
They're going to Hobart
They’re goin’ah Hobart
Geelong
This is my home town.
I'm going to Geelong
I’m goin’ah Geelong
Townsville
You're going to Townsville
You’re goin’ah Townsville
Cairns
He's going to Cairns
He’s goin’ah Cairns
Darwin
She's going to Darwin
She’s goin’ah Darwin
Anyway, guys, I hope that helped.
I really really wanted to include "Going to", which becomes "Goin'ah", because you're going
to hear that all the time.
So, not only did we learn how to pronounce these different cities with an Australian
accent, but also how to pronounce "Going to" as "Goin'ah".
Anyway, that's long enough.
See you in the next episode.
