Description- Are you planning to visit 'down under' soon? You may be interested in learning about Australian slang, idioms and culture. What, for example, is a 'dog's eye' and what does "you little beauty" mean'? Australians have their own unique language which has very little to do with 'text book' English. This is a fun lesson where we will learn the art of Australian conversation and look at some of the unique aspects of Australian culture.
