Ok, so I know it isn't over yet, but we are well into week #2 here in Australia. It's still a little hard to believe that we're here. There are many similarities with the cultures, but there are some differences with the languages. Because of this, we have begun to compile out own "Aussie Dictionary" and I thought that I could share my new found knowledge with all of you!! First of all, my new favorite saying is "no worries" (and that's why I names my blog this). I am so bringing that saying back woth me to the States, so don't be surprised when I say it all of the time. So anyways, here's our dictionary:
No worries: It's alright, no big deal
Star jumps: Jumping jacks
Rubber: Eraser (it's weird the first million times you hear a child ask for a rubber during class!
Skipping: Jumping rope
Red Rover: A form of tag
Maths: Math
Spellings: Spelling
Good on you: Good for you
Toilet: Bathroom
Tuckshop: Lunch and lunch money
That's all for now, but I'm sure I'll add more later. Well, it's about time for me to get ready for school, so as for now, I['m signing off!!
