Love your videos. You are such an eloquent teacher. I use your material a lot in my English lessons when doing pronunciation work with my students. Clear voice, well edited videos, and you are very natural on the camera. Keep up the great work! Hope you feel encouraged today. Thanks chick

[@PriyankaBaranwal]

This video is by far the best and funny for learning about australian slangs. I loved it! My favs are chuck a sickie, chook, sanga, bikkie, chinwag.

[@siskojaakkola1650]

Just chuck a sickie! I'll keep that one in mind for further use! 😆

[@Meandthecars]

I liked the word "telly". In the russian slang language we call tv set very similar: "telek".

[@johnibat]

Thanks Emma to share your Australian Expressions with us...🙏

I'm Indonesian and I have some Australian mates on Discord. So I can't wait to surprise them with what I've just learned later. Thanks !!

[@henryyuen5224]

thank you so much! I've been struggling with these phrases. I'm pretty sure what I learnt from your video will come in handy.

[@DaveSmith90559]

Thank you much, cute Emma, my lovely Teacher! These phrases you share in this brilliant lesson are exactly what I've been learning these days, precisely what I desperately need! I learn the British slang (with Lucy, you know her well) and the Aussie slang as well, it's common now for me. Of course, my separate gratitude for the PDF, I always use PDFs if they come along with your videos, truly! Keep up your excellent work, Emma! My kisses for you!🥰

[@chyldstudios]

As an American I knew about half of the slang phrases you used.

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

Idk tho cuz I'm Indian

[@AlfieAbdi]

I'm continually impressed by your creativity.

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Hi Emma! Thank you for sharing the workbook. I'd like to practice these expressions with my conversation partner soon!!

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

Perfect! I’ll to host a Hey Lady event about this topic soon!

[@frankytanky5076]

'On the piss' is the best phrase ever, gonna use it all the time haha.

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

😆

[@FionaEm]

I'm an Aussie & am partial to 'chockers' (I spell it that way, not the way you did!) 'Spewing' is a terrific throwback to my 80s teenage years 😁 And of course, who doesn't love 'taking the piss'? 😂

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

Hey, mate! I actually went back and forth on the spelling of chokkas/checkers 😂 I wonder if the nation would be as divided as we are on parmie/parma?!!! What d’ya reckon?

[@FionaEm]

​@@mmmEnglish_EmmaMate, it's definitely parma 😅

Hello Teacher you were LEGEND in this class

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

haha thank you! Remember that it's a countable noun, so it should be 'you are *a* legend!'

Awesome!

[@MindFormula]

Emma I love your channel you really teach English so clearly and easy to remember but I live in Canada and I dont know which phrases and slangs could be mutual. Do you have any recommendations for me to better use your videos?

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

If you take a look at the workbook, I’ve included some notes about the words that are common across other “Englishes” 😊

[@luisleyva956]

Pasu mecha emma your class was great!. Useful mexican expression 😅

Your English pronunciation just awesome 🎉

[@omidzakeri7393]

Thank you so much dear Emma.😍😍😍🙌🙌🙌

[@PhamTrung87-VN]

Tks for support❤

[@chyldstudios]

Do most of these words have a similar etymological origin, i.e., do they typically source from England or America or are they without any external linguistic contamination?

[@Coooeee]

I'm Australian with a British family. I hope Emma answers this, I'd be interested. What I know (which is little) is that some is from UK. We obviously used to have a lot of influence from the UK. Like rhyming slang (when she said...I'm going to hit the frog and toad - which means road) That is very British. Some words (not necessarily slang) are the same as words used in America (but not as many when compared to the UK.) Then Australia has developed (and adapted) their own language as well. I'd love Emma to give us stats and more detailed info on this.

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

Brilliant answer! Some of these slang words and expressions are distinctly Australian (for example “sanga”) but quite a few are used in the UK too.

[@jean-yveslegall2562]

Oh, this evening I feel under the pump 🤪 I'll have to come back to this video because you pushed me away from my comfort zone 😅 Thank you so much Emma for this interesting lesson 👍

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

If I've pushed you outside of your comfort zone, I'm happy! That is where real learning happens! If Australian Slang is not essential knowledge for you (as in, you don't live in Australia or talk to Australians often) then it's good to know this slang exists (so you can ask about it when you encounter it) but you don't need to study/remember/use it yourself! Prioritise the English words and phrases that are relevant to you ❤️

[@jean-yveslegall2562]

@@mmmEnglish_Emma thank you for taking care of me with your answer Emma, you made my day 😎

God Bless Australia. Warm greetings from the Central Europe. Have a beautiful time.

Hi

[@hypnoandrew]

My favourites are: Cuppa Sanga Arvo

[@BatangIlocandia]

This was new to me, It is really unusual than American English as i use in The Philippines. Btw, Telly was the word getting into my head. I mean my favorite word,

[@hufflepuffbee8384]

This is interesting because I’m from the UK and some of the phrases mean the exact same here like Telly and Taking the Piss but some have different meanings like tight means you’re frugal and cheap not you have a good relationship

[@Rustystone27]

Tight means the same (frugal) here too. E.g. He's such a tight -arse!
