Australian & New Zealand Accent Learning Materials

  • The Australian & New Zealand accent materials include recordings of Accent Help coach Jim Johnson guiding you through learning the accent, and leading you through a monologue using the accent, plus the voices of four actresses from Australia and New Zealand going through all of the practice materials. Plus you'll hear six volumes of recordings of native speakers, all of it totaling over six and a half hours of materials.
  • You'll get instant access to the written and audio guidance, plus a downloadable PDF "cheat sheet" for the accents.
  • You'll also get transcripts of the conversations with native speakers to follow along with the recordings.
  • This accent is appropriate for productions of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, When the Rain Stops Falling, and lots of other plays. You also hear it in films like Muriel's Wedding and Heavenly Creatures and from people like Paul Hogan and Hugh Jackman.
  • Australian accents are usually subdivided into the categories of broad, general, and cultivated, with broad representing the strong, "bush" accent that many people are used to hearing in films such as Crocodile Dundee. Australian accents are fairly similar across the country - surprising for such a large country - but there are some variations which will be apparent in the included recordings. Most New Zealand Kiwi's have a shared accent as well.
  • You'll have immediate access to the materials via your computer, tablet, or phone.
  • You'll also get future updates for free!

Most of these Native Speaker recordings are made "in the field" so you will hear such things as birds, cars or other people in the background. A transcription of the conversations is included to help you follow along. In addition to a conversation, most speakers also read a list of words and The Rainbow Passage.
