Once you've been on your journey to the Barbie, Beach, Outback
or Pub, you can sit back and have Bruce explain to you core Australian
cultural and lingo concepts. You can then listen to hundreds of
Aussie words and phrases being pronounced, and use your microphone
to compare your accent to that of a native speaker (a bloke or a
sheila!).
You'll learn all about:
- crikey! would you have a look at this little beauty of a word!
- when and why you use g'day mate when speaking to Aussies;
- why Aussies love their mates, and what it means to be a good mate;
- how to Waltz Matilda whenever you like;
- sheilas and blokes, and why some sheilas get snakey about being
called a sheila;
- rhyming slang, because every Aussie loves having a pigs ear with
their china at the rubbity;
- how to successfully order beer and food around Oz!
- shouting Aussies beer so you don't get into strife for bludging;
- Australia's relationship with the English, including why you can
be as dry as a Pommy's bath towel;
- no worries, and what you mean when you say no wuckers!;
- why Aussies use colourful expressions like off like a bride's
nightie;
- the way Aussies love to shorten words letting them say things
like barbie, arvie and rello;
- how to properly greet an Aussie, as well as say goodbye;
- the evils of piking, and how to avoid them (unless you've had
enough to drink!);
- what you should do if you're crook in the guts;
- why you're better off being in like Flynn rather than having Buckley's;
- how you can say bloody oath! when asked if you'd like a beer;
- why if you're as tired as all buggery you'll go to sleep;
- strewth!, and when you should say it;
- sporting terms, and Australia's obsession with them;
- why you shouldn't cack yourself if someone carks it;
- how someone might like you if they call you an old bastard;
- bloody, the great Australian adjective;
- Australian geography, including whether woop-woop is past the
black stump;
- what it means to be a fair dinkum, true blue, dinki-di Aussie;
- what sort of clobber you would buy your cobber;
- how your mum can be angry or proud when she says good on you;
- why bevans, bogans and westies love to say youse;
