昨日新聞紙提到澳洲留學生英語情況。其中有報導提到:
“有人力資訊顧問笑言,不少赴澳升學的香港學生,回流後一口澳洲口音,會把「I will go today」(我今天會去)說成「I will go to die.」(我今天會死),較難令人明白及溝通。”

1. 其實仲有無其他澳洲口音的例子?(請盡量舉出)

2. 有無過來人(澳洲留學者)可分享(and分析)一下,到澳洲學英語的經驗、優點and缺點,及要注意的地方。有無因為係澳洲口音而還有別的溝通問題?

注:若是有留學經驗者,請注明。

There are some influences from the Irish, British, and the Aboriginal people.
Examples on 澳洲口音
~Good on you.. Aussie will say "good onya" (Aussie is short for Australian people)
~ Good day, mate. We will say "g'day,mate", (a stereotypical Australian greeting)

The Aussie often use diminutives (shorten words) in their speeches too
Examples:
~arvo = afternoon
~barbie =barbecue
~footy = Football
~youse =Plural of you
~ what is me glasses = What is my glasses

These are only used imformally in Australia between friends, colleagues and family members. Proper english is used at schools / universities/ businesses etc

The Aussie also have devised their unique terms, which you may not find them in dictionaries
Examples:
~fair dinkum = this is the truth, hard work, fair work
~flat white = caffè latte

It is a good day today
In Aussie accent = It is a good die to die.
But, in Australia everybody speaks the same way, so it's nothing strange about it. Besides, I suppose we should pay a little respect to them & it's not very funny.
