123whisper: What's meaning of the word COBBER ???
Is it right to speak slang language to person which English is a second language ?
I understand most of slang wordings but not all and some times feel frustrated when missing to understand that ONE slang word that could make all differences between someone being nice or cheeky or what ever else...

The fact that neither of us is from English speaking background,you and me understand our challenges with slang language...but the expectations that Aussies have from me by living here for so long time is certainly higher.I think it is better to speak the language which is easy for both people to understand

I presume you have more flexibilities and tolerance in understanding such ...because your more native New Zealander that probably speaks another Maori language but if one is limited only by knowing one language and never lived anywhere else ...there's more ignorance towards any differences... ------ This thread is Archived ------

By the way,when I go to Vietnamis or Chinese restaurants, most waitress hardly speak few basic words in English and less they worry about slang...
But I also see many Asians being popular with Aussies...so it must be because of beliefs that Asians are obedient women and not because of their great English language skill. Anyway, when one wants to pick on me with criticism for not understanding all slang, then I am quick with judgment....
he will not go in bed with me.
