(Can you see me fishing for a teaching job in China? ;-) ) However, more important than the absence of regionalisms in speech - as JABAROOTOO rightly pointed out - is good enunciation, proper vocabulary and elocution.

It's funny, I was married to an Australian for 7 years, and visited often, and did find a lot of self centeredness. There is still a lot of fighting in pubs, and the like, which honestly,I drive a truck in America, and go to many dives, and don't see much rabble rousing any more, going to Australia, can be like stepping back in time, although by no means do I insinuate all Australians are like this. Also there is a lot of anti Brit, anti Americanism, more of a competitiveness than a downright distain though.

She was always relieved to talk to people in boston, because they never had to ask her what she was saing haha.
