Understanding Aussies and Their Culture
"C'mon, Aussie, c'mon!" the catch phrase of many a sporting event downunder. Understand them or not - the Australians speak a unique English filled with Dundee accents, quirky phrases and fantastic vocabulary. Few are dobbers, bludgers and two-pot screamers - the average Aussie (o-zee) is welcoming, hospitable and full of sense of humour. Though you might just need this book to understand the jokes.
Features:
- for every social situation, here's the language you're going to hear
- avoid embarrassing moments and awkward misunderstandings with clear vocabulary lists
- household names, politics, sport - hold your own in the melee of Aussie interests
- understand a little of the original cultures through the introductory chapters to Aboriginal and Torres Strait languages
