What we call a Major is what they call a 'course'. This is difficult when I'm on the Curtin University's website trying to pick out classes and I keep searching under Courses. Turns out what they call classes is 'units.' This is also difficult because I live in a 'unit' instead of a dorm. Their on-campus apartments are called 'flats'.
Also they 'do' classes where as we 'take' classes.
We take out 'garbage' they take out 'rubbish'.
When filling out a form, you are asked to 'tick' a box, as opposed to 'check' off a box.
A girl commented on how pretty my file was. I was confused until she pointed at my folder in my hands.
My roommate Suzie moved in. She is from WA (Western Australia). I offered to help her unpack and move in. She told me that I could help her put her 'crockery' away. Turns out that means pots, pans, plates, spoons, and every piece of kitchen utensil.
That is all I can think of for now. I'll be sure to let you know when I learn more.
