Australian English Test (How % Australian Are You?)
How % Australian Are You?
Australian expressions can leave some English speakers - particularly Americans - a little lost in the conversation. It does vary a little from region to region - some use G'day without fail every day, while to others it feels absurd. One thing is for sure though, we NEVER say "Throw another shrimp on the barbie." It's prawn, thank you.
