1
G'day everyone and welcome back to the podcast.
2
I'm Jack. And I'm Liz.
3
Today we're talking about something that can be very confusing for English learners.
4
Australian slang!
5
That's right.
6
You might learn English in school, but then you come to Australia and suddenly people say things like,
7
I'm heading to the Servo for some Arvo snacks, and you think, what?
8
Exactly!
9
So today we're going to explain common Australian slang words, what they mean, and give you example sentences so you know when and how to use them.
10
And don't worry, we'll speak clearly and explain everything step by step.
11
Let's start with the most famous one, G'day.
12
G'day simply means good day.
13
It's a casual way to say hello.
14
You can use it in informal situations, with friends, neighbours or even shop staff in relaxed environments.
15
You can try say, G'day mate, how's it going?
16
But don't use it in very formal situations, like a job interview.
17
You wouldn't say, G'day sir.
18
Now we just used another important word, mate.
19
means friend.
20
But in Australia, we also use it to talk to strangers in a friendly way.
21
Thanks mate.
22
Excuse me mate, do you know where the station is?
23
Be careful though, tone matters.
24
If you say, listen here mate, in an angry voice it can sound aggressive.
25
Australians love shortening words.
26
Arvo means afternoon.
27
Instead of saying, see you this afternoon, Australians say, see you this arvo.
28
I've got a doctor's appointment this arvo.
29
This is very common in spoken English in Australia.
30
Barbie does not mean the doll here.
31
Nope, it means barbecue.
32
We're having a Barbie on Saturday.
33
This is very common in Australian culture, especially in summer.
34
Servo means Servo means service station, or what Americans call a gas station.
35
I need to stop at the servo to get petrol.
36
Again, very informal.
37
Don't use it in formal writing.
38
Brekkie means breakfast.
39
Australians love adding Y or IE to shorten words.
40
Let's grab some brekkie before work.
41
This one confuses many people.
42
In Australia, thongs are flip-flops, shoes.
43
Not underwear, very important difference.
44
I forgot my thongs at the beach.
45
No worries.
46
This is one of the most important Australian phrases.
47
It means, it's OK, no problem or you're welcome.
48
Person A, thanks for your help.
49
Person B.
50
No worries.
51
You can use this in many situations.
52
It shows friendliness and a relaxed attitude.
53
This one is very Australian.
54
Fair dinkum means really, or are you serious, or that's true.
55
Did you really meet a kangaroo?
56
Yeah!
57
Fair dinkum.
58
It can show surprise or disbelief.
59
She'll be right.
60
This means everything will be OK.
61
Australians often use it to stay positive.
62
We missed the bus.
63
Ah, she'll be right.
64
Another one will come.
65
Chook means chicken.
66
We're having roast chook for dinner.
67
You'll hear this often in supermarkets or casual conversation.
68
A bottle-o is a liquor store, a shop that sells alcohol.
69

Sunnies means sunglasses.
71
Don't forget your sunnies.
72

73
Footy usually means Australian rules football in most of Australia, but it can also mean rugby in some states.

75
Macca's means McDonald's.
76
Australians shorten everything.
77
Let's grab Macca's after work.
78
Jack, should English learners use slang?
79
Good question.
80
Yes, but carefully.
81
Slang is great for understanding people and sounding natural, but don't overuse it.
82
And don't use slang in formal writing, business emails or academic essays.
83
Slang is best for conversations with friends or casual settings.
84
Let's put it all together in one example conversation.
85
G'day mate.
86
Want to grab some brekkie this arvo?
87

No worries.

After that we can watch the footy and have a barbie.
92
Fair dinkum.
93
She'll be right.
94
If you're learning English, listen carefully to how Australians pronounce these words.
95
Sometimes the pronunciation is more relaxed.
96
And remember, understanding slang is more important than using it perfectly.
97
If you can understand it, you'll feel much more confident when talking to Australians.
98
We hope this episode helped you understand Australian slang a little better.
99
If you enjoyed it, share it with a friend who's learning English.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
