    Yung matatagal na jan sa Australia, nahawa na ba kayo sa mga slang na salita or mga expressions ng mga Aussies? Dito sa sg after may mga ilang terms na ako nakakasanayan bigkasin at minsan need gamitin para maintindihan ng ibang lokal pero panget at dapat iwan na dito sa sg gaya ng walawehh, alamak, chibay, same same but different, can lah, cannot, aiyooo, etc. hehe
    Kailangan matutunan mo ang basic like:

    "Here"

    Tamang pagbikas sa salitang tagalog "Hiiia"
    Baka pagkamalan ka si bruce lee pag ganyan pagbigkas mo hehe
