No offense meant, but I wonder so often, is LOL used in some embarrassment!? Certainly no real cause to laugh at what you want to know!.

First of all, as answer 1 suggests, though You tube might not be the best examples, but "LISTENING", is!.

Secondly, while it might sound similar to a dialect from the UK, there are differences one should listen for and emulate!. IF you study, or listen to anyone who may have learned to speak the English language, from the UK similarities primarily, you would still notice dialect, inflection, tone, to be very individual, or even specific to ones national origin, IE: Indians or Africans!.

You might also study variations in slang, and words globally different, to explain or express the same thing!. That's a trait of all cultures obviously!.

Such things as "G'day mate" might get you a greeting, but you might stutter after!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
