标题: How bad is the vernacular accent in Australia? [打印本页] 作者: ayuanx 时间: 18-2-2011 23:17 标题: How bad is the vernacular accent in Australia? I just watched a documentary of Eyre Lake called "Salt" (www.imdb.com/title/tt1454539/) several days ago, and found that I could barely understand the dialogs.
Is Australian accent prevalent among people in cities?

Australian accent is class based rather than location based. A broad sounding Strine is usually spoken by working class people. It can be gender based too as some well educated females would adopt a posh English accent which is not usually found among men.作者: lisa2008 时间: 22-2-2011 14:58
