Claire - Making local friends or talking to locals

Making local friends or talking to locals is an effective way helping you to learn and improve your English. Local friends or local people mean people who are born in Australia and stay in Australia. For example, you can try to make friends with someone who comes from Australia. You will get used to speaking English through communicating with the friend who speaks only English. A good friend will correct your mistake if you say something wrong. Another example is you can ask for directions from someone who looks like an Australian. From their speaking, you can try to understand them. Thus, trying to talk and speak English as much as you can with your Australian friends. It will help you to improve your English naturally.
