Today at school we had some Austrialian exchange students that will be visiting WA state for a week or so. I gotta say though....what's the big deal about people from Austria??? :lol: I'm just joking, they were nice, most of them were females though. They were quite for the most part, they had cool accents though! :D

    I'm a bit partial to Australian accents :mrgreen:
    Yesterday someone asked my husband what language he spoke before he moved from Oz to the US. She was serious :|

    And yet, as TheFixer9 observed, and we all know from the boards, the Australians are generally "quiet."

    Yes.

    I hear ya,

    We are normal, everyone else just has variants.

    I must say though, I made friends with people in the barmy army, and hung around them on friday. I have never felt so Aussie in my life. I sounded like Steve Irwin. And they even nicknamed me 'aussie'

    I believe Black Diamond called my accent "exquisite". 8-) American men always love my accent.

    I've met a couple of very hot Kiwi men and now I'm quite fond of their accents. :shifty: I heard a Kiwi at the shop the other day and my head spun around -- well hellllllo there!! :mrgreen: Such small differences....but so hot! :lol:
