1
Ah Australia, the world's largest island.
2
The smallest continent. A big rock.
3
And a very pretty harbour.
4
You should definitely visit if you have the chance.
5
You absolutely should.
6
I'm Emma from mmmEnglish and I'm also Australian.
7
Here on YouTube, you are always asking me about where I'm from so I guess I don't say it enough.
8
But here in Australia, we speak English with a distinctly Australian accent which has some unique features, some that are similar to British English and others that are more closely aligned with American English pronunciation.
9
But for most people who come to visit, whether they're an English speaker or not, they're confused or they're dumbfounded, surprised by our slang vocabulary.
10
So in this video, I'm gonna share forty slang expressions that you need to know if you plan to move here, to visit here, to study here, or even if you're just hanging out with some Australians in some other part of the world.
11
This lesson will help to reveal that mysterious secret slang language that Australians use to communicate.
12
A little history lesson first. Australia is a British colony so our grammar rules and our spelling rules are the same as British English and that means they're a little different from American English.
13
Our sense of humour is also quite similar to Brits, even some of our slang words are the same.
14
That sense of humour is dry, it's sarcastic.
15
It can sometimes take a little bit of getting used to, especially because with sarcasm, it often involves saying one thing but the tone and the body language is completely opposite, you know, like a joke that's said with a completely straight face so it's really hard to know if they're actually joking or not.
16
We are generally pretty easygoing people, you know, we definitely don't take ourselves too seriously.
17
In fact, we're usually laughing at ourselves, making fun of our mates, joking around.
18
So in Australia, if an Australian is making fun of you, quite often it means that they actually like you, it's a weird way of showing affection.
19
The best thing that you can do is make an Australian laugh, you will be mates for life.
20
Now a mate is a friend, right? This is one of the most important words to an Australian.
21
It's usually an affectionate word, you know, meaning friend but mate can also be your partner, your brother, your sister, your son, your daughter, your friend, your colleague and a mate can also be a total stranger.
22
Anyone can be called mate, right?
23
Mate, how are you?
24
Cool, I will catch you later mate.
25
It's super friendly.
26
But with a shift in tone, it can also be used to confront someone about a problem.
27
Listen, mate, we need to talk about this.
28
Mate, calm down I'm not trying to start an argument.
29
In fact, the Australian police usually walk up to any situation and start with "Hey mate" like friend, relax. I'm here to help.
30
Now I know this concept of mate and mate, it could be really confusing, right?
31
But try to use facial expression and tone as a guide, you know, is it friendly? Is it serious?
32
If you're doing the wrong thing and someone walks up to you and says "Mate, what do you think you're doing?" you know, they're pissed off right and that's Australian for annoyed.
33
Now a lot of slang words in Australia follow a really similar pattern.
34
You take the original word and you shorten it and then you add either EEE, AHH or OH at the end.
35
Now this is really, really common.
36
These words are really commonly used all the way across Australia, across all levels of society.
37
You'll hear the Prime Minister using these words along with a truck driver that's driving across the Nullarbor which is the big dirt patch in the middle of Australia.
38
Now there are literally hundreds of funny words like this and that can be really intimidating to try and learn but the ones that I'm including in this video are ones that I use regularly myself, ones that I hear people use, my friends, my colleagues, my family.
39
They use them all the time.
40
Or ones that regularly come up in the media because these ones are all relevant, current, slang words to learn right?
41
And if you look up Australian slang on a whole bunch of websites, it might be quite funny to read all of these random words but actually not a lot of them really get used anymore, you know, they're sort of from a few decades ago.
42
In Australia, we are big fans of footy but not this type of footy, that's soccer.
43
This is Australian football, footy.
44
Now I want you to really pay attention to that flap T sound, it sounds more like a D, right? Footy.
45
If you're moving to Melbourne in particular, one of the first things that you'll need to do is pick a footy team.
46
Okay this question will get asked of you probably often.
47
So get amongst it, go to a couple of games, even if it's just to say that you did, it's a really good place to start to understand Australian culture.
48
Barbie is a barbecue.
49
Snags, sausages.
50
Arvo, afternoon.
51
We're gonna throw some snags on the barbie on Saturday arvo! Come round.
52
And that really just means we're going to cook some sausages on the barbecue on Saturday afternoon come over.
53
Avo, avocado.
54
Brekkie, breakfast.
55
Avo on toast is a very common breakfast meal at cafes in Australia.
56
It seemed to be the reason why young Australians can't actually save enough money to buy a house because they keep spending all their money on going out for breakfast and having avo on toast.
57
So avo is a very common thing to eat for breakfast.
58
It's definitely also common at brunch.
59
Now brunch is a meal between breakfast and lunch, common in Australia but in other English speaking countries too. Now it's not in addition to those meals, it usually replaces one or the other.
60
Usually on weekends when lots of people have a sleep in, maybe they wake up later.
61
So on Saturday and Sunday in Australia you would definitely see a lot of people out for brunch on the weekend.
62
Alright let's talk about some places now. So McDonald's is called Maccas.
63
Now if anyone asks you to do a Maccas run, it means go out and pick up McDonald's and bring it back for everyone.
64
Or you might say "I'm just waiting on the corner near Maccas" Now uni is university, uni.
65
What did you study at uni?
66
How's uni going?
67
This is incredibly common.
68
If you're planning to study in Australia, really the only time that you're going to hear the word 'university' is in formal context.
69
Everyone else is gonna talk about uni.
70
So that's university.
71
The servo is a service station or a petrol station.
72
Now in America the fuel that goes in your car is called gas but you won't hear people in Australia calling it gas. We call it petrol.
73
So this place is a petrol station or a service station, a place to service your car hence the servo.
74
I need to stop at the servo on the way.
75
means I need to stop and get some petrol.
76
The bottle-o.
77
The bottle-o is a bottle shop or a liquor store, a shop that sells alcohol.
78
In Australia, places where you can buy alcohol are strictly regulated so you can't buy alcohol at a 7-Eleven like you can in some countries.
79
You have to go to the bottle shop, the bottle-o.
80
Hey I'm gonna stop at the bottle-o on the way, let me know if you need me to pick something up.
81
Now while we're on the subject, Australians love a drink and one of the best places to sit and to observe Australian life is in a pub, at the beach or at the pub.
82
It's a really social space and a great space to strike up a conversation with someone and to have a chat.
83
But I wanted to share a few more words that you might need.
84
So a slab is a carton of beer, usually a twenty-four pack of beer right in a box.
85
A tinny is a can of beer.
86
A stubby is a bottle of beer.
87
And a stubby cooler, one of these hideous things is used to keep your stubby or your tinny cold during the long hot Australian summers.
88
These are tourist souvenirs that you can get in any servo, anywhere around Australia and you can collect all of the ugliest ones that you can find and keep them as souvenirs of your time in Australia.
89
This one's from the Nanutarra Road House.
90
It's got a goanna, a road train and an eagle.
91
Every Australian has at least twenty of them stuffed in random places around their house and generally the gaudier, the uglier, the better.
92
And an esky is what you need to take to the park to keep your drinks and your food cooling so it's like an insulated box where you put ice and keep your drinks cool, that's an esky.
93
Lotto is the lottery.
94
The most I've ever won on a lotto ticket is about fifty bucks.
95
And bucks is slang for dollars.
96
If I catch an uber home from the city, it usually costs me about thirty bucks.
97
Ripper is a good expression when something's going well or it's good like "ah ripper!" You could say "You little Ripper!" when something's really good.
98
You've got great news. Or you could say "Bloody ripper!" when something's really great like when you win the lotto.
99
Bloody ripper!
100
What a great day!
101
In Australia, many, many, many suburbs and place names are also shortened too.
102
So Brissie is Brisbane.
103
Tassie is Tasmania Sandy is Sandringham.
104
Freo is Fremantle.
105
Rotto is Rottnest Island in WA.
106
The Goldie is the Gold Coast in Queensland.
107
The G is the MCG, famous sports ground in Melbourne.
108
And if there are any Australians watching and you can think of others, please let me know in the comments, hit me up.
109
There are so many of these, the list is way too long to continue with here.
110
But the point is that if you hear a word that you don't recognise, it's totally okay to ask, you know.
111
Australians know that not everyone understands our slang way of you know, referring to things, especially place names.
112
So if you're not sure, just ask.
113
Another really important place is the loo, the toilet.
114
So the dunny used to be a very Australian expression but it's rarely used now. Lots of random Australian slang websites include it because it's funny but don't bother learning it and actually using it.
115
Nobody does it.
116
So people who are involved in construction work are often called tradespeople. They're the skilled people who also come to your house to fix things when they break.
117
Now in Australia, of course, we have shortened the names for all of these people.
118
Starting with tradie. Now tradie is a tradesman.
119
It's a really general word for everyone who works in that type of industry.
120
But specifically a brickie is a bricklayer.
121
A sparkie is an electrician.
122
A chippie is a carpenter.
123
And this kind of continues into all other types of work as well.
124
A truckie is a truck driver.
125
A poli is a politician and you'll often hear this used in Australian media when talking about politicians.
126
A sickie is a sick day.
127
But not a real sick day.
128
I don't know if this happens much in your country but a sickie is when you take a day off work but you're not actually sick.
129
Maybe it's because the weather's really nice and you want to go fishing with your mates.
130
This is called chucking a sickie or pulling a sickie.
131
What else is there?
132
Info is information. Intro is introduction.
133
And I think those two are pretty commonly used across lots of different English-speaking countries but in Australia we definitely love it because we love those shortened versions.
134
A mo, the moustache.
135
A roo is a kangaroo.
136
Mozzie is a mosquito. I hate those guys!
137
For some reason they always come after me so I am always taking mozzie spray with me everywhere I go in summer.
138
This insect repellent is called mozzie spray in Australia.
139
Anyway that is a solid list of relevant Australian slang words to learn and even if you don't use them yourself, just becoming familiar with them is going to help you to understand Australian native English speakers so much more easily.
140
Now you might even be able to think of some others so let me know in the comments if you've got some other ideas and suggestions.
141
But also if you've got some questions about how these words are regularly used or maybe you've heard of another slang word and you're not sure about the meaning or if it's commonly used, let me know in the comments. I'd be happy to jump down and answer your questions there.
142
Now I know it's unlikely that you'll be travelling to Australia anytime soon but if you want to follow me on my adventures in Australia, well make sure you come check out my Instagram account here.
143
I'm gonna be heading up north on a camping trip in a couple of months and I'm really excited to share my beautiful country with you and take you along for the journey so come check it out if you want to come along.
144
Otherwise, I will see you in the next lesson.
145
See you there!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
