How to properly say Australian cities. By an Australian.
- Never really finish saying your word / never finish your syllable.
- Melbourne: Mel-bun or Mel-ben (without over emphasizing the bun/ben or the l in Mel) not Mel-born (We laugh at you if you say Mel-born)
- Sydney: Sid-knee but say it with a bit of a twang. Don't stress the D.
- Perth: Pur-th. Simple.
- Hobart: Hoe - bart. Don't stress the T though. Strangely enough, some tourists struggle with this one. It does not sound like a variation of Hobbit like Hoe-bit. Yes, I've heard Hoe-bit.
- Canberra: Can-bra. Can-bera makes you sound funny.
- Brisbane: Much like Melbourne, Briz-bun or Briz-ben (once again without over emphasizing the bun/ben or the z in Briz). BRIZ-BAYN IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
- Darwin: Dar-wun. None of this Dar-win shit. Don't stress the W.
- Adelaide: Ada-laid, Ad-laid or Ad-el-laid is actually acceptable so long as you don't stress the E.
- Say everything lazily and like you don't care. Don't be proper. You'll be right. Because if you fully pronounce a letter - you sound stupid.
