Days Of The Week In AUSSIE ENGLISH
Is it “Monday” or “Mundee”? Let’s Clear It Up.
When you’re learning Australian English, even the most basic words can surprise you — like the days of the week!
In this lesson on Aussie English with Amanda, I break down exactly how Aussies say each day in real life — with help from the Macquarie Dictionary, Australia’s official national dictionary. You'll learn pronunciation patterns, IPA examples, and accent variations you’ll hear in different regions of Australia.
You’ll also get tips on:
Why Aussies often drop or soften the /r/ sound
What a “flapped T” is and how it makes Saturday sound like Saduhday
How the schwa /ə/ creates more natural, relaxed speech
How these variations shift depending on accent (broad, general, or cultivated)
