Using informal English is common when speaking with friends.
This blog will teach you a few informal
Australian English expressions to get you started.

Sometimes, in Australia, we like to shorten words.
We cut off the ends of words and add an “ee” sound so that:
Barbecue is “barbie”
Breakfast is “brekkie”
Christmas is “Chrissie”

We also shorten words and add an “o” sound. For example:
Registration is “rego”
This afternoon is “this arvo”
A Bottle Shop is “bottlo”

Below are some other common Australian expressions.
Try to use them with your friends and flatmates.
