Howyagoin?

Posted on 15 April 2010 by Sammy

Canadians sometimes have trouble understanding us Australians, even though we both speak English.

Me (in an Aussie accent): Howyagoin’?
Canadian: Sorry?
Me (trying to speak louder & clearer): Howyagoin’?
Canadian: How’s IT going????
Me: Uhh, yeah.
Canadian: Good!!!!!!

It reminds me of this YouTube video I found awhile ago, which shows the staff of a restaurant say the typical Aussie greeting. Pretty funny. Makes me realise how nasal we sound.
