I have an Italian friend going to Australia today, and he thought I could help him when he's confused about words. But I'm really not sure how Australians talk and I know that you have words we don't have.

So... I need an American English to Australian English website for him when he arrives. But I want to make sure it's accurate. Because who knows some websites can be a load of crap.


Anyone here familiar with both Australian English and American English that can check sites for me?

ALSO, what are some terms he should learn that are used a lot there?

Example: Americans call the place with the toilet a washroom or bathroom, but the British call it a loo? What do Australians call it?
