1. Stephen Fry talks about Australian Question Intonation (AQI)
(trivia time: Stephen is the voice of Cheshire Cat in the new Alice in Wonderland - but hold your horses for a moment! Most copies in Poland right now are dubbed. :-( I was assured though that there will be some copies with subtitles shown after March 17th)
2. "Meet 'Blue' An Australian Alpine Dingo" - that's a real life example of AQI :-)
3. Gettin' Square courtroom scene - part 1.
Listen to the brilliant David Wenham :-D The man is a genius! Those of you who remember him as Faramir - would you recognise him if I didn't tell you that was him? ;-)
4. Gettin' Square - "crime" voices. Listen to this clip and pay attention to the variety of Australian and British accents these characters are using. Read the Curator's Notes on this clip to get a better understanding of director's intention.
(trivia time: Timothy Spall plays the Bloodhound in Alice in Wonderland. He quite literally steals the show! :-) )
5. "Low culture" - Not Quite Hollywood.
I LOVE this documentary. This is what real filmmaking is all about. ;-)
6. Variety of languages spoken in Australia - look it up here.
A short guide to Aussie Slang
7. The food and language quizzes you can find here.
8. Read this text on Language and Identity. It's trully brilliant. (click the picture)
