Query: just a yank trying to pass off as an aussie

I ordered this book because I wanted to understand Australian dialect better. The book is very short, only 16 pages, but it contains lots of useful information. It includes phonics and speaking exercises which I found helpful. However the tape was horrible! I assumed that the tape would be done by an actual Australian; but how wrong I was! I started listening to it, and I've heard enough aussie's speak, to begin to wonder if the tape's speaker was really Australian. I soon found out however, when the speaker smoothly changed to his normal voice; east coast american! That was enough for me to start laughing insanely and finally to toss the tape into a pile of other cassette rejects, including my personal favorite; How to Speak with a Southern Accent by Zehni lai Quien!! If you really want to understand aussie dialect, listen to real aussies. But if you want a good laugh, order this!
