How can I keep my Aussie accent?

Question

I have moved from Sydney to Auckland about 2 months ago and I am already starting to lose my accent a little!

Are there any ways/tips that can make it stronger?

lol I really want to keep it

Answer 1

you can surround yourself with aussie friends every weekend, and you will find when you start talking with aussies the accent comes right back.

  

Answer 2

I think you'll find that you'll 'regain' it when you do go back to Australia for visits. I don't think you'll ever lose it, it's just that we mimic the accents of the people we hang out with alot. Or, hang out with Australians more.

Answer 3

The people around you have a strong impact on you. Watch more Aussie TV shows, listen to Aussie music, make more Aussie friends!

Answer 4

You know, I had the same problem when I moved to Canada. I bought as many Australian movies as I could find like Crocodile Dundee, Muriel's Wedding, The Castle, Japanese Story, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, etc etc.. and watched them as often as I could.

I ended up coming home with a thicker accent than what I left with!

All the best :)
