Aussie woman’s tutorial on how to speak like an Australian takes social media by storm — “nailed it!”
We Aussies are known for putting a quirky and characterful twist on the English language.
Last week, we shared an article that revealed that a number of English speakers want this classic bit of Aussie slang to be banished.
This time we have quite the opposite. We will be sharing how one Aussie woman has taken the world of TikTok by storm, teaching users how to speak like an Australian.
Melbourne TikTok user Tiffany Krylov offered an amusing guide on how to pronounce things as an Australian.

In her now-viral video, which has been viewed more than 427,000 times, Tiffany advised that all you need to do to perfect an Aussie accent is to simply replace any word ending in "er" with "a".
“Now it’s common knowledge that people struggle with this accent but I have the smallest but easiest tip to get you on your way to sounding like an Australian,” she says.
“Basically all you have to do is follow the rule that any word that ends in ‘er’ now ends in an ‘a’.”
Tiffany then pronounces some words, which include summer, winter, flower, loser, w***er, and tosser, in an Australian accent.
“Summa, winta, flowa, looza, w***a, tossa,” she pronounced.

TikTok users shared their thoughts on Tiffany's amusing tutorial, with many expressing their approval of Tifanny's tip.
One Aussie wrote: “There’s spanner, hammer, shower, trailer and banger but we pronounce them as spanna, hamma, showa, traila and banga.”
“Nailed it, good on ya.” another wrote.
A third chimed in: “Septemba, Octoba, Novemba and Decemba.”
In another video, Tiffany revealed how Aussies tell other people to relax.

“The next time you see someone stressing or overeating for no good reason, instead of saying ‘relax’, you can say ‘calm your farm,” she explains in her video.
“Now for an important note, Australians don’t usually pronounce the ‘L’ in calm so it’s more like ‘cam’. It’s very important, it needs to be ‘cam ya farm’ - they need to match.”
