Here are 11 awesome, fair-dinkum, true blue Australian English phrases that you can use in your everyday conversations!

For each English phrase that I will talk about, I will explain its meaning so that you have a true understanding of what it means.

Also, I will be giving you situations where you can use each phrase – in real life English conversations.

As a bonus, I will be telling you synonyms for these phrases – so you don’t ‘overuse’ what you learn today!

Oh, and another bonus, I’ll remind you how to pronounce the words correctly. Note that some of these phrases are being contracted; the sounds are shortened; so that you sound just like a native English speaker.

Phrase #1: Are you kidding?
Phrase #2: As if!
Phrase #3: That’s epic!
Phrase #4: No worries!
Phrase #5: Tough luck.
Phrase #6: Catch ya (later)

Start practicing these on a daily basis, don’t forget to download the FREE worksheet and make up your own sentences for each.

As an added CHALLENGE: try to come up with a scenario where all 11 phrases are used correctly. No, it doesn’t have to be in order (hah, tough luck on that!), as long as the story makes sense, of course!
