I know that's advanced.

I know it's advanced, but hopefully it just means next time you hear this, you go over this exercise or you hear this kind of thing happening somewhere else, you'll hear and notice the dark L and you'll be like, hmm, that sounds like sort of a reverse W. It doesn't sound like a light L sound.

And you'll hear consonants joining together in connected speech, like that D and the T. I killed two birds with one stone.

Remember, guys, if you want to take your Australian pronunciation to the next level, check out my Australian pronunciation course.

Use the link AussieEnglish.com.au forward slash APC100.

The link will be in the description.

It'll be easy to click or copy and paste if you go there.

In the course, you learn the International Phonetic Alphabet so that you can study and improve your English by yourself.

And you can use dictionaries and AI more effectively to understand all those different sounds in the spelling of English, which is not phonetic.

Whereas the International Phonetic Alphabet, as it says in the name, is phonetic.

So, you can sort of compare and contrast to work out, are these the same sounds in these words?

If you see the IPA, the International Phonetic Alphabet, transcribed next to those words.

In the second section, you will learn how to pronounce all of the different vowel sounds and consonant sounds in Australian English.

Each lesson contains detailed tutorials on how to pronounce this sound with your mouth, what you need to do, and then it has some really good exercises for you to do on a regular basis to train that sound so that it becomes natural.

And then in the third section, we go through the more advanced stuff like the dark L linking sounds, the Australian R sound, the syllabic L and N, how to sound more Australian.

These are the little tidbits that really take you from having a bit of an Aussie accent to literally putting together sentences full of words and linking them all together and sounding just like an Aussie.
