I wish I'd had Aussie English and Culture by Luke Zimmerman when my Australian husband decided to pack up our little family and move back home to Australia! I'd grown up there but left at 11 years of age. Returning as an adult, I suffered a year of culture shock. For those planning to visit Australia, or even more so, contemplating moving there, it would be advisable to invest in a copy of Aussie English and Culture and read it.Reviewed by Viga Boland for Readers' Favorite 5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and entertaining bookReviewed in the United States on 15 January 2020Just returned from a 4-week trip to OZ. This book was useful in getting me ready to communicate with people. The biggest problem I had is that many Aussies mumble. This makes their accent even more difficult to understand, especially for one with hearing impairment. 5.0 out of 5 stars Short but helpfulReviewed in the United States on 11 August 2019Well written guide for a brief introduction to Australian customs and language. Very helpful appendix and reference list. Worth your time! 5.0 out of 5 stars Five StarsReviewed in the United States on 20 January 2018A quick and fun read before our trip to Australia.
