Australian English

G’day mate! Do you want to learn Australian English? In this lesson with the help of my friend Joey the Kangaroo I’m going to teach you Australian vocabulary and slang. I might be a Pom (English person) but fair dinkum I know a thing or two about life down under. I’ll teach you the meaning of common Australian phrases and Aussie lifestyle slang. Apologies in advance for my Australian accent…I’d had a few too many bevvies before I recorded this lesson!

Thanks for the interesting and useful lesson about Australian English. I once visited Sydney in 2010 and I could listen to almost nothing. Australian English is so different from American English when I first listened to the Australian accent at Sydney airport.

One day a philosopher goes inside a town’s conference hall very excitedly to perform his speech. However, there is only one man as audience there. He becomes upset but gets a grip quickly, then he asks that guy “Do you really want to listen to my conference?”. The man says “I am a simple farmer. If I got into the bark to feed my all sheep, I would do that even if there was just one sheep.” After this response, the philosopher becomes giddy and starts his speech. The conference lasts for two hours. After he finishes his topic, he asks him “How did you find my conference?” The man says “I told you earlier. I am just a simple farmer. If I got into the bark to feed all sheep, I would do that even if there was just one sheep, but I would not give it the whole grass.”
Today’s topic was so interesting, but I felt confused and a little depressed because there were a lot of words, and this joke came to my mind. The good thing for me was to realise how different Australian English really is and to listen to the perfect British accent from a native speaker. Hopefully, one day I can speak like that.
Thanks Ms. Jade!
