maybe through music, aussie accents works pretty very well in a musical context, and is very often (sometimes unconsciencly) lifted. in music they fuck around with words all the time.
You often don't realize which words you use everyday are Aussie until you meet foreigners particularly when travelling OS and they don't understand you. We learn more about some other places from what we watch on tellie.

It's 12:18am in Poland rn and I'm here trying to learn some aussie slang... My brother came into my room and asked me If I'm fine 😂 But well.. Thank you for lesson, I feel motivated to try different English accents now🤙👌
@@AussieEnglishPodcast OMG! IT'S THE FIRST TIME ONE OF MY FAVE RU-vidRS HAS REPLIED TO ME!! THANK YOU! I decided to write it because I wanted to find the words easier, since I am writing a book, and one of my characters has an Australian accent.
"hey mate! chuck some sausies on that barbie!" when I heard that one time, I didn't know what to do lol I'm a non-native speaker :) But I could understand you accent!
I've got Australian friends and I don't understand of some words they're sayin. New to your channel here from Philippines. Cheers! I've learned a lot today!
During my school days in South Australia, we used to study for a few months to make English adaptions there. It turns out that there are many differences in the English we learn in Malaysia, especially the accent even though Australian English is simpler than English.
Cheers mate, played this to my 8yo old son who is obcessed with the Australian accent and often tries the accent out for days on end.....he's getting pretty good 👍
Gday mate hows u going? Im cactus today Deadset?! Yea mate grab me a coldie or an esky or a frothy, Fair dinkum? U really a cobber... Good on ya mate 😂
I've been listening to your videos mostly to expose myself to the accent (to mimic eventually) and now I have a few more insults to throw at my friend in Brisbane. 😂 He's such a dag.
I like the fact that slang is used on pretty official objects here, at train stations in Adelaide there's signs telling people to not be a "fare bludger"
I saw a poster on the internet from an Australian train company that hypothetically encouraged a young man named "Jim" not to w*nk on the train because he saw a pretty girl (written in the "See John run, see Sally laugh" style used in old elementary school textbooks). It ended something like "Jim decides to get home before he has a w*nk. Good on you, Jim!" It was very well done and I've never been sure if it was a parody or not.
Thanks a heap! Really helpful. Often heared people saying fairdinkum, G'day, arvo, barbie and a few more but this video is really gona help more. When you said "The bush", it reminded me of another phrase I heared from your one of the videos: To beat around the bush!
@@AussieEnglishPodcast yeah, I learned alot of new words today like cab sav, The Aussie Salute, Bail, Bathers, billabong, a billy, a bludger,etc. I have already started using them. Good on ya mate!
I really enjoyed this! My boyfriend is Australian so it was a blast seeing thins and learning more about the culture! I think you teach it in a really good way too by using the terms in other terms so you remember it more easily!
I been out of Oz for so long and its really lovely for me to hear all the slangs again!!!! Nice One!!!! Now my kids are learning the slangs and love them!
Good on ya mate! Very Nice. I've been teaching English in China for 16 years and when I've been asked to explain Aussie slang I've run out of ideas. Great video, simple, comprehensive and funny.
As an Aussie, I didn’t realise how many slangs non-Aussies wouldn’t understand. The chock-a-block slang I would normally say “chockas”... you know how we like to shorten words over here 😆
I'm an Australian teaching English in Chile, haven't been back for two and half years. Love this video, it's had me chuckling and thinking of home. Just shared it with a student heading to Oz.
In Canada we have a few of the same slang terms. For Goon, we call it "Cardboardeau". Thanks for this so much. I have Aussie friends and want to learn the slang to keep up.
a few varied more local terms for the long drop toilets can be: a "long drop" "alright im going to go use the long drop" a "pothole"/"hole" "alright im gonna use the bloody long drop up there, leave it for a solid 10 minutes after i come back out" another for just toilet which is shared for british can be "loo" "im just going to the loo, so i'll be a few minutes"
Awesome Work you do!. Thanks a Bunch!!. Cheers!. In 1999 I spent some time on Manly beach and everybody was so nice and polite!. Even local surfers!. Unfortunately that does not always happens this way here in Brazil....
Ahahaha I love good ol slang. I remember one time I said "sweet as" to someone and they genuinely had no clue what I was talking about. They asked me "sweet as what? what is it sweet as?"
so "cactus" is kind of like the slang "rinsed" then? (tired/broken) when someone gets punched in the face, and gets knocked out, he got rinsed. when you hate a song because you heard it too often, the song is rinsed. when you break something, it's rinsed
No mate, cactus is fucked. As in, she’s fucked, or, she’s cactus. It means beyond repair. If the car stopped, and could not be fixed, she’s fucked, or cactus. So if your mate was punched in the face and knocked out, we’d say he was dropped, or decked. If he was cactus, he’d be dead. Although, we’d also say, he was fucked. As in, he punched him in the face and fucked him. But this doesn’t means he fucked him. Good luck...
WINE in a aluminium bag, eg; once, keeping it cold in the river has ruined the cardboard box,is called "A BROADMEADOWS BRIEFCASE". The outer Northern suburb, is Broadmeadows, or just "Broady". V.V.Lower-Class, residents generally achieve nothin'.
Mostly here in the USA (a few very tiny groups elsewhere in the world usually brought there by someone from the states) we have a mideval fantasy weapon combat game called Dagorhir. Clearly this is a very nerdy/dorky/silly thing to do. We gladly accept your terminology of "A dag" for this and it works internationally.
As a Canadian, we share: Bail, Beauty, Brekky, A Buck, The Bush, Choc-a-Block, A Cold One, Deadset, Get Stuffed, Go Off, Good On Ya, Heaps. Crazy! I thought those were Canadian slang :p
Part 2, please! Did you have in the video / don't you guys also use? : smashed... avo (avocado), mate (friend), mateship (mate status and associated honour code), take off your... thongs (female underwear or flip flops, depending on gender of person spoken to ), busting a plugger (ruining your flip flops), tradie (a crafts/trade person), usually a tradie drives around in a... UTE (a pickup truck), chuck a uey (take a u-turn, I am not kidding), roid (as in ste-roid - right), Look,... (generic opening of saying anything - does not bear any particular meaning to my understanding), Doof ("stupid" or "idiotic" in German apparently, but "rave party in the bush" in Australian English), Straya (Australia), Wogs (non-Caucasian persons), Lebs (Lebanese persons)... The last two are like... seriously?! But I have heard all of that repeatedly.
I'm from NZ, and I was thinking, the only time I've heard of booze buses, is when I've seen booze buses, where they drive around to different pubs around the country and drink
Arvo, Gday, brekky, barbie Etc. I didn't understand well these words at first when I talked with my husband who is from Australia. Thanks for helping me to understand him.
I'm from Straya! Deadset knew about 90% of these I'm from Livo in the Southwest of Sydney :) we use other words like Eshays as well! Good on you! Great video
So I'm from Suffolk and if you didn't know the majority of the British that went to Australia came from Suffolk County. I didn't realise how many of these "slang" words I use daily without realising they're so used in Australia. It's funny because I want to move out to auz when I get my Part 66 B1.1 AME License in the future so at least I'll understand everything XD
Thanks a lot about your great lesson I'd rather you taught us more about it coz i wanna speak fluently as well i was based on American accent what i do understand is that aussie is the best that's why i wanna level up my level so you as a teacher keep up the good work
Also, did he just say "Get Stuffed" is a polite phrase? I like to think that I have a half decent grasp on Aussie slang, but "Get Stuffed" doesn't sound very polite to me. Jackass Yank: "Oh you gonna grill a 'shrimp on the barbie'?" Aussie: "Get stuffed, ya drongo." Maybe that's just me, who knows?
Met a random australian player in an MMO today, and I followed along what she was saying some of the time thanks to watching this video a few weeks ago
Some of the slag words he uses are American for example : Guys instead of blokes. Vacation instead of holiday: The over use of like instead of words like about, almost, approximately or even a round about. Still got somewhat to go. Even Buck is American.

Aussie English I'm from Spain. Have you ever been here? But I'm moving to Gold Coast in October. I'm really excited but scared 😱 your channel is really useful by the way 😉
Wow, different, cool... they make all short. i guess its FUTURE ENGLISH. I have Aussie friend, yes sometimes i cant get what he say XD I'll learn more about Aussie slang or accent thank you ^^
Haha I just came across with your channel and it's awesome mate. I've been in australia for nearly 4 years and yet keep struggling sometimes to understand the way aussies speak.
I wish I had an Australian accent, it sounds so laid back and cool. I wish I had an Aussie accent... it kinda sounds similar to how people in Boston shortens words as well. Like a Bostonian would say “pop” or “bang” and U-ey, while an aussie would say “chuck a u-ey”
Thanks for the video, I have learnt so much!! please continue teaching Australian Accent. I have been living in Australia for more than 10 years, and I am still learning,
I already knew about Arvo, Brekky and Barbie thanks to Stray Kids I also knew about Bogan elsewhere thanks for teaching me about the other 46 Aussie slang terms.
My friend made me say “Put some Shrimp on the Barbie” randomly at lunch in a Aussie accent, I died cause I made like a 15% Aussie accent and a 20% European accent and a 50% British accent and a 15% American accent OOF
