即使在国内学过很长时间的英语，或者去过英、美等说英语的国家，您还是可能会对澳大利亚的英语感到不适应。澳大利亚的英语既不同于美式英语，跟英格兰和爱尔兰使用的英语也不太一样。最初，语言的不适应可能会令您不安，但过上两三天，也就习惯了。
澳大利亚人说话时，嘴唇连动都不动，这种倾向越靠内陆越强。有一种说法是——为了防止苍蝇飞进去。且不论其真伪，我们让事实说话：“ei”的音，澳大利亚人读“ai”；而“ai”就变成“oi”了。虽然也是美国式的卷舌音，但是“R”的音就是发不出。拼写方式是英式的，尤其在美式、英式不同时，用英式的拼法。例如：美式的theater，在澳大利亚被拼为theatre；另外，澳大利亚人也用lift来代替elevator。此外，三个音节以上的单词也慢慢修正成省略式。
若要举例，无穷无尽，但不必为此担心。虽然没有能超过语言的交流，但可以手势和表情等肢体语言来配合交流，因为“语言只不过是交流的工具”。还有一个可以轻松的理由是，澳大利亚有许多国家的移民，比如有母语不是英语的意大利人、黎巴嫩人，他们的英语已经被接受了；所以中国人特有的腔调也会被理解的，不用担心。
对澳大利亚特有的英语感兴趣的人，可以买一本澳大利亚英语辞典The Macquarie Dictionary带回去。硬皮简明辞典的价格约在20澳元左右；平装版和硬皮的衣袋型小辞典的价格约在10澳元左右，各种都有，这是在澳大利亚之外的地方很难买到的。

英语中的俚语、口语或“顺口溜”很多，它们的意义，往往与字面意义不同，有时也不合文法的结构，所以正确了解和灵活使用，是学习英语者的难题之一。下面即是常见的一些，供读者参考。 1. to be (或become) fed up with (someone 或something)：意思是对某人或某事感到讨厌或厌倦（to get tired of; to be disgusted or to get sick of); 例如：I am fed up with his constant complaints.（他常常的抱怨令我厌烦。） We all became fed up with his long speech.（他的长篇演说我们都觉得讨厌。） The husband has been fed up with his wife's nagging.（老公对老婆的唠叨感到厌烦。） 如果只用「to be fed up」也可以： I will not wait for her; I am fed up. (我不想再等她了；我厌了。) (动词时态是：feed, fed, fed) 可见这句俚语似乎有「被动味道」，如果用feed，意思又不同了。 例如：The mother will feed the baby with milk.（母亲喂婴儿牛奶。) (feed 是及物动词) The cattle feed on grass (牛以草为生。)（feed 是不及物动词） 但是The cattle were fed with the grass by the farmer.（农夫用草喂牛。） (cattle 是复合名词，意为复数); 可以说：I am fed up with him. (我讨厌他) (但不能说：I feed up with him.） 2. to be in a rut：是指对每天同样的工作或是墨守成规一成不变的习惯，感到单调乏味 (to be tired of routine job; nothing new or excited) (rut 这个字本意是惯例或老套）。 例如：He has not been promoted for 20 years; he must be in a rut.（他廿年未获升级，一定感到单调枯燥。) After thirty years of the same job, he feels he is in a rut.（干了卅年同样的工作，他觉得枯燥乏味。）所以要放弃单调枯燥的生活方式，就是to get out of the rut. 例如：If you hate your old job, you need to get out of the rut.（假如你不喜欢你的老工作，你就要走出乏味的日子。） 3. to cut the cord: 意思是父母要让儿女离家过著独立自主的生活 (let your children leave home and become independent) (只用於父母与儿女间的关系); 例如：When your children are old enough to take care of themselves, you have to cut t he cord.（当你的孩子长大可以照顾他们自己时，你就应该让他们自力更生。）(即切断依赖父母的脐带。) It is very difficult for many Chinese parents to cut the cord with their children.（许多中国父母很难让儿女完全独立自主。）(注：这里的cord，是指umbilical cord 即脐带。） 4. to start from square one: 意思是上次没有成功，必须回到起点从头做起 (something did not succeed in the first place, have to start over again）(这与to be bac
