She is currently the Directory of International Programs at the law school and coordinates exchanges between law students at UC and international students coming to UNC to study and conduct research.

Australians speak English (though with quite different pronunciation - an Australian accent rather than an American English, and with both vocabulary and sometimes different meanings for words similar to American English.) At times, even though everyone is speaking "English," there can still be some confusion and misunderstandings between American English and Australian English. For example, try saying "raise up lights" in your own accent. It sounds like "razor blades" in an Australian accent. Australians are called "Aussies" and the country of Australia (fondly nicknamed "Oz") is both a country and a continent. It is in the Southern Hemisphere (below the equator), and thus people talk about it being "down under." Its seasons are opposite of ours in the United States because of this.

This link here is where I found these pictures, and they had so much more. I would have to say that as a Kindergarten class I would probably have to go over most of this with them.
