1
Hey there, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish.
2
If you're new here, you may not know that I'm from Australia.
3
So I thought it would be really fun to share a
4
few tips with you about how to start a conversation in Australia with Australians.
5
Now I'm going to share a little more about Australian culture
6
like what is this
7
and I'm going to help you with some English conversation tips in some different settings like in a pub where
8
Australians love to go, in a taxi or an Uber,
9
at the supermarket and also some advice to help you strike up a conversation when you're travelling.
10
Remember to hit that subscribe button down there, turn on notifications so I can let you know when my new videos go live.
11
Are you ready?
12
Let's play!
13
Even though I mentioned this video is about starting a conversation in Australia,
14
you'll see that most of these conversation tips can work in any English -speaking country.
15
If you're talking to a Brit, an American, Canadian, South African,
16
New Zealander, all of these tips will help you to strike up a conversation with native English speakers.
17
To be honest, these tips are really not about having long in -depth conversations.
18
There are suggestions to help you start conversations
19
and the more you practise starting conversations and having these little interactions with other people, the easier it will become.
20
So it's okay to start small.
21
As long as you're friendly then a brief interaction is all you need to start building experience
22
and confidence to talk with people more in English.
23
Before we get into it, I really want to emphasise the importance of the greeting.
24
You know, always trying to be polite, friendly and positive, it's going to get your conversation off to a good start and most
25
Australians are pretty relaxed and laid back and that's really reflected in the way that we greet each other.
26
Contrary to popular belief, not every Australian says g'day every time they greet someone, right?
27
G'day, g'day mate.
28
It's commonly used by men and probably more often by older men and it's really a short version of good day.
29
So we're saying hello and have a good one, have a good day at the same time so it's like a double greeting.
30
Now I want to give you a little demo so that you can practice.
31
This is a really difficult expression to get right.
32
You know most times anyone who's not Australian will mess this up.
33
That's it.
34
G'day.
35
It's just a really quick flap of the tongue on the top of your mouth.
36
G'day.
37
You can also say, hey, how you going?
38
How you going?
39
Which basically just means how are you?
40
How you going?
41
Try it.
42
How you going?
43
If you've ever visited Australia or you live here then you'll know that
44
Australians usually spend a lot of time at the pub.
45
Now the pub is a great place for you to strike up a conversation with an Australian.
46
People are usually really friendly and relaxed, they're in a good mood, they're joking around and you'll run into all different types of people.
47
So you'll learn a lot about Australian culture, about language, slang, mannerisms, all of these things.
48
It's like a melting pot of Australian culture at the pub.
49
It's also where people are often watching sports so if there's a sports game on,
50
a really great way to strike up a conversation is to say what's the score or who's playing?
51
I want you to try it with me okay?
52
What's the score?
53
Who's playing?
54
Nice.
55
Now the most popular sport in Australia is unique to Australia the AFL
56
or the Australian Football League and it's like the Australian version of the English Premier League
57
or the NFL or the NBA, right?
58
We also have soccer and rugby and cricket and sports like that but AFL is the most popular sport by far.
59
Anyone who comes to Australia is completely perplexed by our game, right?
60
We have this weird shaped ball.
61
There are four sticks at each end of the football field
62
and everyone on the field is running around in really short shorts.
63
It's going to take me like ten whole minutes, maybe more to try and explain the game
64
so I've actually linked to another YouTube video if you're interested to see it and to find out more, it's down in the description below.
65
So if you want an easy way to start a conversation with someone in a pub
66
or anywhere really especially if there's a match on then knowing a little bit about the game is going to help you.
67
Most taxi drivers love to have a chat so it's the perfect opportunity to practise your conversation skills in small talk.
68
Australia is a multicultural place.
69
There are lots of different people who drive Ubers and taxis right?
70
Many of them are people who've moved to Australia from elsewhere and so they're probably
71
similar to you or have a similar experience to you in some way.
72
Why is this important?
73
Because there's so much to share and to talk about.
74
You know you have the opportunity to exchange experiences here so it's an easy way to get started with a conversation.
75
Now I usually jump in an Uber rather than a taxi
76
so when I do that my go -to questions are have you been an uber driver for long?
77
Try it.
78
Have you been an uber driver for long?
79
Do you enjoy doing it?
80
Try it.
81
Do you enjoy doing it?
82
You must meet some really interesting people.
83
Now they might say they're doing it for some extra cash on the side
84
while they're studying and then what can you ask them?
85
You can ask them what they're studying, right?
86
So it gives you all of these amazing opportunities to just practice building confidence with these conversation skills.
87
A really easy way to get started.
88
If they have an accent, I might ask have you been living in Australia for long?
89
Try it.
90
Have you been living in Australia for long?
91
Do you like living here?
92
What's been the hardest part about moving to a new country?
93
Nice one!
94
A super place to strike up a conversation is at the supermarket it.
95
So just imagine that you need some help looking for a product, maybe for real, maybe you're just pretending so
96
that you have the chance to talk to someone
97
but in this case you can go and find a shop assistant and ask them to help you find that item, right?
98
Simple.
99
Hi there, can you help me to find the Vegemite
100
or whatever product you're looking for
101
and as you're walking with them to find the product then you might say something like
102
it's so hard trying to find your way around a new supermarket, right?
103
But that might prompt them to say oh are you new to the area?
104
But then you can continue the conversation by saying yeah I'm actually from India.
105
I've been here for a few months now.
106
Or you can just continue talking about the product that you're looking for or you might say, I'm from Italy and interestingly,
107
I really love Vegemite from the moment I first tried it.
108
I know lots of non -native
109
Australians don't really enjoy it but I do.
110
When you're travelling in an English -speaking country is the perfect opportunity to get as much speaking practice as you can, isn't it?
111
You can ask questions when you're on your tours or or ask for directions or recommendations.
112
Just ask someone to take a photo of you.
113
Let's practise a little together, okay?
114
Sorry for interrupting.
115
Does this train go to the city?
116
Try it.
117
Sorry for interrupting.
118
Does this train go to the city?
119
Excuse me, do you mind taking a photo of us?
120
Try it.
121
Excuse me, do you mind taking a photo of us?
122
So saying excuse me or do you mind, they're really polite ways of approaching or interrupting a stranger.
123
Excuse me, I've only just arrived in Melbourne and I'm a little lost.
124
Can you tell me where the post office is?
125
Try it, okay?
126
Excuse me, I've only just arrived in Melbourne and I'm a little lost.
127
Can you tell me where the post office is?
128
Adding that you've only just arrived helps the person to understand that you're new.
129
They might even ask some other questions about where you're visiting from or how long you're staying or what your plans are.
130
So you're taking every opportunity to spark up a conversation.
131
Some of them will work and others won't you won't get much of a reaction. Who cares?
132
The important thing is that you're having a go and that is one characteristic about Australians that you can definitely benefit from.
133
We love seeing people have a go, you know, having a crack.
134
So I hope that you enjoyed a little mini journey into how to start a conversation in Australia
135
and I really hope that you're able to come and visit us soon.
136
The most important thing that you take away from this video is just to get started.
137
Just by greeting someone, you're letting them know
138
that you have the courage to be bold along with being relaxed and positive and if you really enjoy sports,
139
Australians love and they appreciate people who step out of their comfort zone.
140
You know, have a crack.
141
And don't think of every conversation as it has to be this endless hour -long discussion,
142
just a quick exchange with a few people every day is enough to build your confidence over time.
143
And now that you know a little more about the land down under, I'm curious to find out, are you coming to visit?
144
Which city are you going to visit first?
145
What's on your bucket list?
146
Let me know down in the comments and I'll see you next week.
147
Bye for now!

דקדוק בסרטון הזה
המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:
| מבנה | בסרטון |
|---|---|
| הווה מושלם (Present perfect) have/has + past participle — פעולה שקרתה בעבר ועדיין יש לה חשיבות או השפעה עכשיו | you've ever visited · I've actually linked · who've moved |
| משפטי זיקה (Relative clauses) who / which + clause — מידע נוסף על אדם או דבר | Anyone who comes · people who drive · people who step |

הגייה ששווה לשים לב אליה
הדובר משתמש ב-52 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו you're, I'm, they're. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.
- הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: interaction /ˌɪn.təˈɹæk.ʃən/, notification /ˌnoʊtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, suggestion /səˈd͡ʒɛst.ʃən/

צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: taxi /ˈtæksi/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, interaction /ˌɪn.təˈɹæk.ʃən/, mannerism /ˈmænəˌɹɪzəm/, characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: greet /ɡɹiːt/, uber /ˈuːbəɹ/, interrupt /ˌɪntəˈɹʌpt/, supermarket /ˌsupɚˈmɑɹkət/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/
- עיצור קולי בסוף מילה — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ בלי להפוך אותם לאטומים: subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, bold /ˈbəʊld/, courage /ˈkʌ.ɹɪd͡ʒ/, pretend /pɹəˈtɛnd/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
