Hi Sylwester,
Many thanks for your comment. That’s an interesting question. My accent is about standard for an Australian. It is certainly different from a standard British accent and a standard American accent, both of which you may have heard in school when you studied English in Poland, depending on where and how your teacher learnt their English. So I guess the answer to your question is that all native speakers of Australian English speak that way for the “a” in day.
Hope that is helpful.
Have a great day and good luck with your English.
Cheers,
Rob

Greetings from Poland. I’m fan of your podcasts and there is one thing I’m curious – is this specific for you or for australian language that you pronounce “a” in such words as day, may, way, make et.c like instead as we can hear in school english.

Hi Miao Li,
Many thanks for your comment. I am glad that my podcast has helped you. Your comment is very well written. Well done. Keep on studying English and you will certainly communicate with others in English. In fact, you already are!
Have a great day.
Rob

I’m from China. I’m working in a meat factory in Teys Biloela. My English is not good. I’ve been listening to your podcast for almost a month, and I think it’s helped me a lot. I really hope that one day I can communicate with others in English.
