chrissy-uk Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hey guys, I interviewed a whole bunch of people who emigrated to Australia and wrote a book about it. I summarized the 10 most common mistakes and how to avoid them. The book is now available on Amazon but I need some test readers who would get the book for free - all I want is some feedback in return. Is anybody interested? You can have a look at the book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emigrating-Australia-common-mistakes-avoid/dp/B08T4H7M6X/ If you are interested in becoming a test reader simply write me here and I'll be in touch. Thanks, Chrissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chrissy List those ten common mistakes here and I'm sure you will provoke a lively debate, and get your test readers. The link did not work for me by the way. My only mistake was naively thinking that Aussies hated Pommies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual citizenship is the best. It opens up so many opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might do that in a month or so but first just need a handfull of test readers as a start. That's interesting that you thought Aussies hated Pommies. I think it's super funny that basically every Aussie loves foreign accents. They are totally into it (well, most of them). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was back in England before I came to OZ listening to the blokes I worked with, most of whom had not been to Australia anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here are unlikely to abuse it, but there are bots scraping websites all the time for unprotected email addresses, which then get sold to scammers. Can a moderator delete it?

If you lived somewhere nice on the South Coast, with decent beaches it could be comparable.
