A series of events where international students can learn more about Australian culture, accents, and all the things that will help you maximise your experience in Australia.

A lot of international students get a cultural shock when they first come to Australia. In these series of events, we want to introduce international students to Australian accents, Australian culture, and some soft skills that will help them assimilate into Australian culture and University life.

Event 1: How to speak Australian English!
