Australian Slang what every traveler should know |
|
|
Quickly learn Australian slang G'day. That's Australian slang for "hi" and "hello". Australian slang is widely used, so you will have more fun on your trip if you learn some words and phrases. Here's my list of popular Australian slang (called "strine") to get you started. Some you may already know, thanks to Crocodile Dundee and other films. I inserted short illustrating sentences to help reinforce the Australian slang in your mind.
