To talk with an Australian accent, here are a few tips: Work on your vowel sounds, specifically the "a" sound which is often pronounced more like "eh." Practice the "r" sound, which is softer and less pronounced compared to other English accents. Pay attention to the pitch and intonation of your sentences, as Australians tend to end their statements with a rising tone, making them sound like questions. Listening to Australian speakers and imitating them can further help you perfect your accent.
