Learn Australian English in this episode of Aussie English where we go through pronouncing Australian cities in an Aussie accent.

Pronouncing The Biggest Australian Cities In An Aussie Accent

G'day guys. Welcome to this episode of Aussie English. Today, we're going to learn how to pronounce 15 of Australia's largest cities with an Aussie accent. Let's go. So, not only am I going to teach you the 15 largest Australian cities and how to pronounce them with an Australian accent today, guys, but we're also going to practice the contraction of "Going to", "Going to". And this gets contracted all the time by native Australians to "Goin'ah", "Goin'ah". "I'm going to the shops", gets contracted as, "I'm goin'ah the shops". So, let's get started.

Sydney I'm going to Sydney. I’m goin’ah Sydney

Melbourne You're going to Melbourne You’re goin’ah Melbourne

Brisbane He's going to Brisbane He’s goin’ah Brisbane

Perth She's going to Perth She’s goin’ah Perth

Adelaide We're going to Adelaide We’re goin’ah Adelaide

The Gold Coast They're going to The Gold Coast They’re goin’ah The Gold Coast

Newcastle I'm going to Newcastle I’m goin’ah Newcastle

Canberra You're going to Canberra You’re goin’ah Canberra

The Sunshine Coast He's going to The Sunshine Coast He’s goin’ah The Sunshine Coast

Wollongong (That's a hard one.) We're going to Wollongong We’re goin’ah Wollongong

Hobart (And notice the "T" gets muted.) They're going to Hobart They’re goin’ah Hobart

Geelong (This is my home town.) I'm going to Geelong I’m goin’ah Geelong

Townsville You're going to Townsville You’re goin’ah Townsville

Cairns He's going to Cairns He’s goin’ah Cairns

Darwin She's going to Darwin She’s goin’ah Darwin

Note: "Goin'ah" is only spoken and never written. It's always written as "Going to".

Anyway, guys, I hope that helped. I really really wanted to include "Going to", which becomes "Goin'ah", because you're going to hear that all the time. So, not only did we learn how to pronounce these different cities with an Australian accent, but also how to pronounce "Going to" as "Goin'ah". Anyway, that's long enough. See you in the next episode.
