Welcome to the DAY12 Phrase Book
AUSTRALIAN!
Compiled for The DAY12 Phrasebook with apologies to James Schofield (Australia)
The
DAY12 Phrase
Book has been
lovingly compiled by Day12
readers from around the world to arm you with a few words
and phrases for your next destination. From basic vocabulary such as 'Yes', 'No' and 'Thank-you', and simple structures like, 'Where is the..?' and 'How much is this?' to the more advanced, 'I'm bored of talking. Shall we go to bed?' and 'Is that a ghost?!', The DAY12 Phrase Book will help you get by with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of fun. Enjoy, or as they say in France, 'Cafe au lait!'

Pronunciation: It would be impossible to adequately express, in text, how welcome you feel when you walk into a party and an Aussie friend says, 'mate!!' (usually followed by "He's a Pom, but he's alright!"). Try some of the phrases below, preferably with a few tinnies, and With a little practice, 'You'll be right, mate!'
Warning: The staff at Day12 Phrase Books would like to point out that whilst we have stuck fairly closely to James's suggestions, we did get a bit carried away and added some phrases of our own... for comedic effect. it has been suggested that some people might have trouble telling our phrases from James's so if, having looked through the list below, you think you might get into trouble using our phrase book down-under, you may want to seriously think about staying at home and getting a job in a bank during your gap-year. We would also highly recommend that you read the footnotes article, '26 Ways to Die Down-under' and decide whether you'll make it back alive from Oz, or not.
