    Today I'm sharing my favourite Australian expressions.
  • 00:00:04
    These are Australian slang words and phrases that I use
  • 00:00:08
    in everyday English conversations.
  • 00:00:11
    By the way, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish
  • 00:00:15
    and if you didn't already know, I'm also Australian.
  • 00:00:21
    Today I'm going to cover over thirty common Australian
  • 00:00:25
    English expressions and we'll practise using them together
  • 00:00:29
    in a real conversation as well.
  • 00:00:32
    You and me talking in Australian slang,
  • 00:00:36
    you'll get to practise speaking Australian English with me.
  • 00:00:40
    So you're going to see these awesome words and phrases
  • 00:00:44
    highlighted on screen as we go through a dialogue together
  • 00:00:48
    and of course, I've made you a free PDF with all of these
  • 00:00:52
    slang expressions,
  • 00:00:54
    lots of examples and some extra practice as well
  • 00:00:57
    so you definitely need to go grab that.
  • 00:01:00
    The link is down in the description below.
  • 00:01:02
    It's really going to help out.
  • 00:01:05
    There are a lot of entertaining videos and blog posts
  • 00:01:08
    out there about the bizarre and random things
  • 00:01:12
    that Australians say.
  • 00:01:14
    Tim,
  • 00:01:16
    he's a stubbie short of a six-pack.
  • 00:01:18
    Alright, I'm going to hit the frog and toad.
  • 00:01:22
    Although these are obviously hilarious ways
  • 00:01:25
    to express ourselves, these are not
  • 00:01:28
    essential for English learners to know and to use.
  • 00:01:33
    They're not used every day by everyday Australians,
  • 00:01:38
    often in conversations.
  • 00:01:40
    The only exception to that is perhaps if you're picking fruit
  • 00:01:44
    or you're working on a farm or in a factory,
  • 00:01:47
    you might come across some of this
  • 00:01:49
    interesting, colourful language a little more often.
  • 00:01:53
    But in this video today, I want to teach you
  • 00:01:55
    the Australian slang words and expressions that are used
  • 00:02:00
    every day, words that you will hear if you visit or live
  • 00:02:04
    or work in Australia.
  • 00:02:06
    So first up, let's watch me do the whole dialogue
  • 00:02:10
    so that you can experience the complete
  • 00:02:13
    Australian conversation.
  • 00:02:15
    Make sure you keep an eye out
  • 00:02:17
    for those slang expressions too.
  • 00:02:19
    Hey Em!
  • 00:02:22
    Oh hey Em!
  • 00:02:23
    Do you want to come in for a cuppa?
  • 00:02:25
    All good, I'm starving.
  • 00:02:27
    I'm going to go get some lunch.
  • 00:02:29
    Come in for a chinwag.
  • 00:02:31
    I've got a roast chook.
  • 00:02:32
    I'll make you a sanga.
  • 00:02:34
    Legend, sounds good.
  • 00:02:36
    So how are you going?
  • 00:02:38
    I've been under the pump at work, run off my feet lately.
  • 00:02:42
    My boss has asked me to do overtime
  • 00:02:44
    three days in a row now.
  • 00:02:46
    I mean, I don't mind the extra cash but
  • 00:02:49
    if he asks me to do it again,
  • 00:02:51
    I'll tell him he's taking the piss.
  • 00:02:53
    Yeah, tell him to pull his head in.
  • 00:02:56
    There's Buckley's chance of that happening!
  • 00:02:59
    My manager had a crack at me too this week
  • 00:03:01
    for refusing extra shifts!
  • 00:03:03
    It was her fault actually.
  • 00:03:04
    She was the one who stuffed up the roster.
  • 00:03:07
    I thought you and your boss were tight.
  • 00:03:10
    We are but she can be a bit of a loose unit,
  • 00:03:13
    especially when she's on the piss.
  • 00:03:16
    There you go, wrap your laughing gear around that.
  • 00:03:19
    You beauty, this looks great, just what I needed.
  • 00:03:23
    So are you going to the footy this arvo?
  • 00:03:25
    Nah, I don't want to go into town.
  • 00:03:27
    It'll be chokkas, people everywhere!
  • 00:03:29
    I'm just going to watch the game on telly.
  • 00:03:31
    What about you?
  • 00:03:33
    Nah, I've got to work later.
  • 00:03:34
    I'm spewing I'll miss it.
  • 00:03:36
    Should be a good game.
  • 00:03:38
    I might try and knock off early
  • 00:03:39
    and see if I can watch the second half.
  • 00:03:42
    Just chuck a sickie!
  • 00:03:44
    If I pull a sickie, you're coming with me into town!
  • 00:03:47
    It'll be going off if the doggies get up!
  • 00:03:50
    Anyway, I'd better head off.
  • 00:03:51
    Thanks for the sanga.
  • 00:03:53
    You want a bikkie?
  • 00:03:54
    Yeah, I'll take one for the road, thanks!
  • 00:03:56
    So how was that?
  • 00:03:58
    I am very confident that there were some new random words
  • 00:04:02
    and expressions that you need to learn there.
