English is one of the most widespread languages in the world, and so it's not surprising that the English Australians speak will be somewhat different from the English people speak in the United States, for example, though a native American English speaker would probably have no trouble understanding an Australian English speaker in general. The major differences between the 4 English accents we'll try to distinguish between today is in pronunciation, which is tricky to test, but also in vocabulary, spelling and even grammar. In this test, we'll try to determine whether the English you speak is closer to American English, British English, Canadian English or Australian English based on your answers to our questions. Will we be able to guess your English accent based on your word choices? See for yourself!

You Have an Australian Accent
Australian English is most similar to British English, but it has some interesting differences in terms of vocabulary, we love Australian English!
You Have a Canadian Accent
In general, Canadian English is a mix of American and British English, but the abundance of French borrowings and some uniquely Canadian words make it really special.
You Have a British Accent
British English is the original version of English, but today, it significantly differs from all the other variants of English, not only in terms of pronunciation, but also spelling, grammar and vocabulary.
You Have an American Accent
American English evolved a lot throughout the years and today, it's very different from British English, both in terms of spelling, vocabulary and grammar, and that's without taking the numerous dialects that exist in the United States into account.
