Since I am in Australia there has been no reason for me to progress in learning a foreign language. Although Australians have somewhat heavy accents, they do in fact speak English. There are some differences in vocabulary, as I have mentioned before. I have found myself somewhat confused at times by the vocabulary differences so I have had to ask the students and adults to clarify.
Common Differences:
Australia USA
Thongs Flip Flops
Rubber Eraser
Boot (of a car) Trunk (of a car)
Barrack (for a team) Root (for a team)
Maths Math or Mathematics
Full Stop Period (punctuation)
Jumper Sweater/Sweatshirt
Torch Flashlight
