In today's episode...
G’day, legends! Wanna nail those tricky “will” contractions like a true blue Aussie? In this ripper episode of Aussie English, I got ya covered. We’re divin’ deep into how to say “I’ll,” “you’ll,” “he’ll,” and all the rest, without soundin’ like a drongo.
We’ll sus out the difference between the “dark L” and the “light L” – yeah, it’s a thing! – and how to make “it’ll” sound like it should, not like you’ve got a mouth full of marbles. Plus, Pete will break down how we link sounds, stress the right bits, and chuck in a schwa where it’s needed, just like a fair dinkum Aussie.
This episode is chockers with examples, so you can practice along and get your tongue around those tricky sounds. We’ll look at sentences like “I’ll call you after lunch” and “It’ll take some time to finish” to really get the hang of it.
So, if you’re keen to sound less like a tourist and more like a local, whack on your headphones, grab a cuppa, and give this episode a burl! You’ll be speakin’ like a native in no time. Strewth!
