Yea, my english teacher also told us this, the whole class cracked up in laughter.

Hahaha...

That's Broad Australian accent. The majority of Australians don't speak with that accent though.

There are three main varieties of Australian accents: Broad, General and Cultivated.

General Australian English is spoken by the majority of Australians. When you watch Australian films or TV programs, you are most likely to hear General Australian accent.

Cultivated Australian English is similar to British Received Pronunciation (the so-called Queen English or BBC English).

British and Australian accent are very similar Their accent is harshem0107

I beg to disagree.

Australian English is quite different from any accent existing in England although it's vowels do reflect Cockney influence.

I really wonder how many of those here who claim to prefer British or American accent know that there is no single British or American accent. There are a wide variety of regional accents and dialects spoken in every English-speaking country, especially the UK and the USA.
