People learning English
Learning any language can be a challenge, Australian English and slang included. Aussie English was developed from a number of languages which is why it can be challenging. The patterns we use to read, write and spell words vary a lot. This can create the need to slow down and understand more.

- reading
- writing
- conversational skills
- pronunciation
