Do we really sound british?

im english and i dont think we sound alike AT ALL but when i go to America people always think im either English or Australian..they cant tell the difference..wierd :\

To me, australian sounds like the "hillbilly" version of british, in a god way that is :D I love the australian accent, I like how you go up in tone in the end of each sentence, it makes you sound constantly happy. and australian does sound kind of similar to the british accent (more so than the american accent I would say) but I can still tell the difference.

Personally I find that Australians, British, and Irish sound similar but are pretty different. All three have a distinct accent especially Irish. So to answer your question, no, because I have met Australians and British people and I can tell the difference.

I think Australian accent sounds more close to English accent, comparing with American accent.

Im British and love the Australian accent!

Don't think it sounds British but then again Britain has sooo many accents Cockney, Scouser, Geordie, Liverpudlian, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Brummie, the list goes on and on its hard to tell x

Not at all.

I'm British and Australian accents are way cooler. (:

I can tell the difference between the two accents. Just wait for the mate!

It's a very close call between the two accents.

..

in my opinion....Australian English is more close to British English than American....as they use many synonyms from Oxford common usage terms.....

to me aussies kinda sound like an English person who´s had some drinks.
