Aussie Talk

Beschreibung

This book is offered to readers who have a basic knowledge of the English language and would like to broaden their understanding of the colloquial form of the language spoken in Australia. It is not a study of the grammar or history of the language. Neither is it a course on Australian geography, history or sociology. This book has been designed as a serious guide using a light-hearted and enjoyable approach. It intends to convey to the reader, through the spoken language, a picture of a great island whose inhabitants speak one of the most colourful versions of English on the planet. The visitor, the student, the businessman or the new settler in Australia can benefit from this book by understanding the social and historical background of the language. This book is also a must for readers of Australian literature and for movie fans who wish to be able to enjoy the rich figurative speech which is so typical of the Australian language. And finally it is also dedicated to the armchair travellers who do not intend to visit the country. They can get a glimpse of the attitudes and lifestyles unique to Oz.
