Hey! I’m American and noticed you said you said we get a 3 month break from September to January... I wish! But no. We have summer break from usually the end of May/June to August/beginning of September. It depends on the state or school system. But it’s during our summer (June thru august) which is your winter. And as for spring break, it’s during your fall, but also depends on the school you go to and when they schedule it, but usually it’s like mid-March and only like 1 week long. Sometimes in April, but that’s usually pretty late in the year. For winter/Christmas break we usually get off right before Christmas then come back early January so we get Christmas Eve/day through New Years. So I’d say usually January 3-5th that’s when we come back. And we also have thanksgiving break which falls on the fourth Thursday of every November so we usually get off the Wednesday and have like a 5 day weekend. I hope that helped explain our breaks. Also, as an American, I can (and always have been able to) understand other accents so I get really confused as to why other Americans say they don’t know what people from South Africa/Australia/New Zealand/the UK are saying. Maybe it’s because i watch a lot of KZitem and have grown up listening to different accents.. but I don’t know (I’m 20) because I just really don’t think it’s hard or that different. My 9 year old sister has to watch movies with English accents/accents from other English speaking countries with the subtitles and it baffles me. I also have ALWAYS wished I was Australian and I love your accents. The stronger the better! Also it baffles me when people can’t distinguish English accents from Australian ones or even South African ones. They’re so different! English accents sound more “regal” to me, if that makes sense, and Australian accents have a nice, cool tang and zing to them. South Africa kind of is in between them for me. Kind of like Portuguese from Portugal vs Brazil. I 100% prefer the Brazilian accent because of the flow and accent. But admittedly I have a lot of trouble telling apart Kiwi accents from Aussie ones. I can sometimes, but sometimes it’s really hard! Do you have any tips on that or could you do a video of the differences? Because I know you guys always say that your accents are so different, but besides some different vowel pronunciation, I can’t tell them apart. Sorry for the long comment- I meant it to be a small thing but every time you mentioned something about Americans I wanted to talk about it from an American point of view.

I’m a conservative American living in Indiana, and my wife and I are planning a trip to Australia for our 25th wedding anniversary in a few years! Most likely, a big reason you don’t see many conservative Americans in Australia, is because it’s so expensive to travel, and many conservative Americans have big families, which makes it even more expensive! The left-leaning liberal types are usually single, which makes it a lot easier to travel.

First of all, I love Australia. I have been in 9 months and I always meet lots of Aussie people. And they are kind, smile face, helpful and jokey. Australia’s weather is good in my opinion. They protect their environment and I was impressed. I started to volunteer Conservation groups to rescue our world. Everywhere is silent so Adelaide 😊. I can see the sky. That is gorgeous🤩. I am not sure whether Australia have traditional food. My bad😂 I am gonna speak Australian accent in the future😎 Thank you for sharing that video☺️

Thank you Pete 😊 We planted trees for kangaroos and koala, we clean the ocean to save fish, we cut down the plants that prevent the growth of trees and harm animals, we apply chemicals to them, we water the trees we plant. These are all satisfying things for me.

@@カレンステファニーテイラー as an australian person who was bought up in japanese environment, i personally feel that japanese people are very kind and warm-hearted, too. as in australia. merely that "kindness" is approached in different ways. for example, like how in japanese it's polite for us to use 敬語 when talking with elderly people. in japanese it's the cultural standard way of showing politeness, because we want to honor their position or status above us. but in australia talking to people in such formal manner is rude because we have the philosophy of "treating everyone as my friend", i think. basically, in australia, ため口 = polite and 敬語 = rude, for basically all people irrespective of their position or age. because ため口 implies that we're relaxed and happy to be around them, which is our way of being polite. i heard local shopkeepers saying things to me like "i recommend this cause it's fucking awesome" despite me having never met them before. most people in australia wouldn't care getting talked to like this; in fact, most would feel comfortable around them. but in japan you'd probably get stared by every human being in a six mile radius if you talked to customer this way. the intent is the same in terms of showing respect to people; both australians and japanese want to show respect to others. just how we execute it is different.
