Hi. I'm interested in traveling to Australia and study english. I'm from South America. Could anyone tell me which are the courses most often taked by international students? I think is a kind of General English or could you tell me which course I have to take to have the oportunity to study in a university after finishing it. Thank you very much.

Isn't English your native language?

Spanish or Portuguese seems more likely.

Everybody knows they don't speak English in Australia -- they speak 'Stralian!

Sounds to me like you should study Austrailian in Austrailia, your English is already well enough spoken to brighten the blokes day at the thought of having you wish to learn Strail. Strail systems of idiomatics include Wombat Training, Beer Guzzeling and Roo Rails. You will do better studying where those practices can be practiced.

Don't they still call it Strine?

I don't understand almost nothing from this message (only what a Beer Guzzeling is, well I think)


Can anyone explain me, it is an advice or a joke?

I'm sorry, I started this, so I'll put an end to it. I was just being silly. Australians have their own very distinctive accent, and I was just making fun of that. Nicholas was making more jokes, listing stereotypes about Australia. We'll stop now. Sorry for teasing you.
