You need to call it a day and grab a slab of Tooheys.

What "language" is Australian?
That's Asstralian mate. Asstralia and Niziland try their best to speak English.

A thick Scottish accent sounds like a foreign language though
TRUTH! I've got a Scottish bro in law and it never seems to get any easier!

Say "rise up lights"
And you've just said "razor blades" in Australian

They struggle with the letter "R", for example hamburger is hambuhguh. For some, No and So somehow have multiple syllables and end in R.
Words are pluralized that shouldn't be.
The abbreviation of words is ridiculous to the point that in some cases it's easier to say the actual word. I was officially over it the first time I heard "Chrissie" instead of Christmas.
Very much like coonasses in the fact that they will pepper up the accent and slang when they realize you're from America. This is especially true for the old bush c*nts in northern WA and the NT.
Accents differ by state.
Also this.

As a side note, I don’t know if I’ve just been lucky but I’ve never met an unfriendly Australian or “Kiwi”.
Australian accent hard to understand?
Go to Scotland

Well I understood the most overused phrase we hear nowadays: "At the end of the day."

I've watched a couple Australian and English Netflix shows the past couple years. I have to turn on the captions to understand some of the dialog. Why can't the English (and Australians) speak English like it is supposed to be spoken?

Have you ever been around a South African? Jeez, Louise! They sound like Aussies, but worse.
