Speak Australian...

English To Aussie Translator

If you're from England or the USA and happen to be unfortunate enough to be going to Australia shortly then you'll need to get a fair grasp of how to understand their stupid language and fit in. I have created this page as a word perfect translator with some help on the accent thrown in free of charge!
