Описание:
G'day All! The Idiom of Oz helps you unlock the mysteries of "Aussie slang" and uniquely Australian phrases that have tested and spanned time, life, and geography across the land of Oz.
This is an absolutely necessary language reference book to understanding and using Aussie English.
Don t be daft or fool yourself; if you're a foreigner or tourist traveling to, working at, or just generally curious about Oz.... you need this Australian Language guide. After reading this Aussie/English translation, you will be able to creatively avoid the pains, frustrations, and embarrassments that the most tourists (including the author) initially experienced. Instead you will be able to thoroughly enjoy each and every opportunity to connect with the folks in the land-of-plenty.
Whether you're enjoying a holiday on a white sandy beach, on a tram , dancing through the local arcade , or having tucker (perhaps a meatpie floatie or mixed grill ) with a complimentary glass of Australian wine or beer, you can relax knowing that you won't be labeled a burk (as long as you have a handy copy of this book in your pram , back pocket, or handbag).
The Idiom of Oz is a fun filled, yet very informative book about the Aussie language. I can now throw an new word from 'down unda' every now and again in any conversation and liven it right up. The looks on the other's faces are priceless. This Australian to English translation is well worth it, if you just want to spice up life around the water cooler, but if you are going to travel to Australia - by all means.
Очень полезное издание для изучения и понимания австралийского английского, с юмором и экскурсом в местный колорит. От устойчивых выражений до аббревиатур, в алфавитном порядке.
