Jerry, at 40% I would die of hunger, with burned eyes, loveless, and out of gas. I have been there, and the country is beautiful and the people are AMAZING! Except for the plane ride, I would love to go back!

Take this test and find out if you can understand people from Australia. When I watch Aussie TV, I can usually figure it out from what they're saying. I got only 50% right - not sure what percentage I got wrong.

I got 100% and I have only spent about 3 months in Australia. However they are next door neighbours and we use mostly the same words.
New Zealand is Australia's 8th state. Just like Hawaii is USAs umpteenth state??

I got 70%--mostly educated guesses, since I was in the work business for 40 years.

Managed to get 80%, probably from watching the Aussie 'who-dun-its' on PBS.

Uhh, there are 10 questions, so you could have had a 30% or a 40%, but there is no 35%...
I noticed that too. How do you get 35%. I guess he figures he got one half right or half wrong. LOL

I didn't have any real knowledge, but looking at the answers and taking a chance, I was 100% correct. Surprised me.

70% maybe because I watch 800 Words and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries on PBS that are set in New Zealand and Australia?

A guy from our church came home after world war II with an bride from Australia. A woman ask her how did she pick up our language so quickly. And they walk among us.
