Personal comments
Considering that they spoke English, it was fairly easy. The Australians did have a hard time understanding my Southern accent, though. In the end, we both learned heaps from each other and new ways to say things.

Studying in Australia was a bit different than The States. Students have to spend more time outside of class preparing. But that was a great lesson for me.
