AUSSIE SLANG
Die australische Umgangssprache
G’day, Mate! Wussten Sie, dass Australier es im täglichen Miteinander lieben, Wörter zu verkürzen? So wird aus einem Breakfast kurzerhand ein „Brekkie“, aus einem Barbecue ein „Barbie“ und aus einem Kangaroo ein „Roo“. Lernen Sie mit Avistralia die australische Umgangssprache, den „Aussie-Slang“ und seine Bedeutung, kennen und erfahren Sie, wie es Ihnen bei Ihrem Urlaub im „Lucky Country“ gelingt, wie ein echter Australier zu klingen.
