Oz Observations #2: How to talk like an Aussie

  1. If a word ends with er (such as summer, surfer or beer) the er is changed to an ah sound (summah, surfah, or beah). Don't worry, the r sound isn't wasted. See observation 2.
  2. If a word ends with an ah sound (such as vanilla, law or pasta) an r is added to the end of the word (vanillar, lawr, pastar).
  3. Debut is pronounced dayboo. It kills me.
