You’re new here, right?

You might be wondering just how we Aussies speak. The stereotypical Aussie speaks like this:

G’day mate! Want another snagger on the barbie?

But, we don’t actually speak like that, unless you’re truly from the country!

For more tips, you can see the links here or here, or see my video (PowToon) here!

Or, just see my basic list below!

• Arvo – Afternoon; See you this arvo!
• Barbie – Barbecue; You coming to the barbie tonight?
• Bathers – Swimsuit; Nice swimsuit! 
• Chockers – Full, cant eat anymore; I’m chockers!
• Cuppa – Cup of tea; Do you want a cuppa?
• Sunnies – Sunglasses; It’s so sunny! Better wear my sunnies!
• Footy – Football, AFL; Want to go to the footy game tomorrow?
• Biccy – Biscuit; Do you want a biccy with your milk?
• Ambo – Ambulance; Quick! Call the ambo!

Or the phrases here:

• BYO – Bring your own!
• Bring a plate – Bring a plate of food to share!
• Give me five! – High five!
• She’ll be right – It’ll be alright!
• Down to Earth – Honest, gentle; She’s so down to Earth!

Good luck!
