Heres a tip. A student of mine at university in Australia complained to me that Australian students wouldn't talk to her. I said what do you talk about, she said politics and social issues. I said that is private to most Australians. The world cup was on at the time and I suggested she start by talking to them about that. About 2 weeks later she excitedly stopped me and said as soon as she did this she was swamped with people to talk to, and she had been invited to heaps of social activities.
@@testing38919I'd get bored and uninterested if someone I barely knew asked me about social issues, also when you talk about social issues it's hard to navigate around the grey areas since you don't know which side the person stands on and you don't want to offend them
I’m originally Australian, spent 25 years in another country in Europe. It’s very difficult making friends in Australia because Australians have little groups and connect with Facebook. If you can’t get into this group you don’t know where or when they are meeting. Very local in Australia and only real connections are very superficial. This was a surprise for me coming from Europe. Very different culture.
I've just found your channel. You do a great job of explaining Aussie culture. I was born here, and it's hard for native-born ppl to make friends too. You just have to be friendly and keep trying 🙂
I was born in Australia and I'm 52. I have 2 friends I speak to on the phone and that is it. I've lived in the same city all my life. Friends from school disappear when you have children and no time. It is very hard to make friends here and keep them.
I have lived all my life in Australia but I have seen a lot of the rest of the world and how different peoples do things. I don't have any friends and about three years ago my last and really the only one just said to me one day 'I think you've been lying to me for 20 years.' I was taken aback and asked 'About what?' as I had always been there for him, thick and thin, loaned him money, supported him through hard and emotional times, even saved his life once and never lied to him about anything (it's a rule of mine: if you have to lie then your life isn't interesting enough). He said he didn't know. What does that mean? Who knows. I tried once more to go to him and see him but he was just so distant and dismissive. I had known this man for 20 years, it was such a blow to see this happen. Bottom line is: Most of the people around me are not good people. They're either crazy, dangerous, on drugs or mentally ill and it's getting worse. I've owned a business in hospitality for over twenty five years and it's so palpable how gut-rotten and quick to anger and humorless people are in Australia, now.
@Karina Mos Do you mean the people who frequent my business? Then, yes but that was nearly fifteen years ago that people were a lot friendlier. No one is happy with their lives now and it's palpable. You see people acting neurotically, they're impulsive, less inhibited and selfish. Used to be a friendly, fun environment to work in. Now, no one wants to work and people want to do everything through an app rather than talk to another person. I wish I could publish some of the body worn camera footage online. Some of it would be viral in a second. Oh, yes, I have been assaulted three times in the last year, hence the camera.
Iv started watching you , not because I’m young or at a work anymore , but it’s been so informative , and the way you explain for people coming over here is wonderful , the way you have come across , is so respectful and informative for other . I’m an English / Aussie , came as a teenager and I’m now in my 70s , wish we had the internet then , but point being you are doing an amazing job , yes iv now watch about a dozen or so blogs of yours , I’m so glad your happy here , with the way you have explained our culture and our way of life , I’m sure you’ve have a lot of friends and a great work place , welcome to Aussie , even if you’ve been here a few years , you are now one of us . I wish you and all the peoples from where ever they arrive for a long or short term , welcome and enjoy this great land , Regards and Best wishes to you all
Thank you for such a beautiful comment Patricia. Means a lot. And yes, Australia is such a beautiful country, and I think it's the people and culture that mainly make it the way it is! I'm hoping for everyone moving here, that despite the challenges migration entails, they'll have an amazing time. Thank you again for such lovely message :)
I have been living here from past 15 years & as a migrant it's hard to make friends with locals. If you are single & if you have good habits, it's gets super lonely & depressing !
@@bellaaqsa1364 I feel that they're quite closed off. I joined a club called Toastmaster, as in my home country, I have made so many friends joining it. But here in Australia, I feel that local Aussies are quite reluctant to really have a long conversation. It usually just the usual niceties and it falls short of that.
Australian university culture isn't like many others in the world . In Australia you go to university to learn and pass your degree that's about it. Having said that I did make friends at uni but the degree I did was unique in that we didn't have any electives and we had to do alot of practical work of campus so in disaplines like medicine , nursing and teaching you may be more likely to make friends at University because you end up doing alot of pracs of campus with other students in a work environment
I have been living in Australia for over 20 years, and I have no friends. Not even one. In my experience despite all those groups and community stuff, it is really hard to make friendships,
Thank you for this topic! As an older Australian I worked all my life. My life was mainly my family with my daily Monday to Friday centred around my work colleagues who organised lunches and after work group night out to the Theatre or football type events. When I retired I found that I didn’t really have any close friends that lived near me, not even my female neighbours of 30+ years, who had their friends from tennis clubs etc. My daughter actually introduced me to my local Community House and a local walking group run by the father of a school friend. I suddenly found that connection with local people through Community classes in watercolour art, iPad and VCR to Digital media classes at the Community House and meeting an amazing lady through my daughter who had a lot in common with me and we would meet to walk and swim and then our husbands were included and we went to dinner with them and now we have travelled in Australia and overseas together. Making friends is hard, scary and sometimes you realise that you just don’t gel but putting yourself out there is beneficial to your happiness.
Wonderful video! I’m from India and I work from home and the struggle to make friends is REAL! I Love outdoor activities dancing and basically everything except drinking 😂 but still am stuck with how to make friends
Maybe U try to approach the locals instead of waiting for them to approach U...join social works just to make more friends and contacts...U have to do something..nobody can leave alone in this world!
Hey Martina! I’m from Argentina too! Me and my wife moved to Australia 10 years ago and lived in 3 different cities: Sydney, Canberra and currently living in the Gold Coast.
I'm moving to Sydney next year for work and I know definitely NO ONE at all and it's scary to be honest. I hope I'll make some friends as soon as I settle down... Thank you for the tips, will keep them in mind!
@@user-xw3gp9jk1y if what you’re saying sounds dumb, we’re not going to waste time debating or arguing. We’re not like Americans who debates with uneducated people. We might just be straightforward and tell you to be quiet. (Judging by people I know and videos I seen of Americans going to their colleges to debate) Couldn’t really understand what you were trying to convey, had trouble reading…
I understand man, Australia isn't as inclusive as it used to be, I'm from America and felt alot more included there. I live in cronulla if you live close
It’s a lot worse making friends with local if you are not white. I usually get along easier with white people from another country than aussie. I have no idea why they rarely stick with immigrants
I'm glad you liked it :) and yes I feel you. The first year is always tough and an emotional roller coster, but then it gets better! Enjoy Sydney! beautiful city :)
I havé lived in Sydney for thé past 39 years and also been to other cities right across thé country ..and let me tell you it is very hard to meet exciting strangers like in thé 80s and 90s. People were lot friendlier back then on a face to face meeting
Wonderful. I'm Australian and I've travelled Australia. I found the information you shared was helpful, accurate and insightful and I enjoyed listeningtoyouas well as the visuals in the video. Grea5 Job. Thanks for sharing
making friends in australia is hard, i was born here and most of my friends from earlier in my life are too caught up in work and family to have time to maintain friendships. its almost the same as living in another country and trying to make friends tbh
I went to Australia back in 2018 and I had a great time. Aussies are generally pretty nice and laid back but there is an insincerity to their friendliness. Anyway, I do Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and when ever I travel, I look up BJJ gyms and go train. People in the BJJ community are usually pretty nice. I was very taken aback at how nice people at a BJJ gym in Stockholm was considering how reserved and introverted Swedes are. However, a BJJ gym I trained at in Sydney, Australia was flat out hostile towards me. Everyone in there was an asshole! The old folk in Sydney were really nice but everyone within a decade of my age weren't very nice. I think that's more of a big city mentality than anything else. The rest of Australia seems to hate on Sydney. I'm from Toronto 🇨🇦 and the rest of Canada seems to hate us. Even though 90% of Toronto is from somewhere else in Canada or an immigrant. Go figure.
Thanks a lot for this video!, I'm about to move to AUS for a PhD Program and I'm aware of the important to making friends and this information you give us here is helpful.
Hola!! Recién empiezo a ver tus videos y veo que eres de Argentina! Tu inglés está muy chévere. Podrías hacer un video de cómo lo aprendiste y tus tips? Gracias!!!
Yo también escalo y también tuve un tiempo largo tratando de entenderlos, me rendí 😅, estoy viviendo en Adelaide y muy contenta cada vez hay más argentinos por acá 😊
Que lindo escaladora!! Dentro de poco estare yendo a South Australia para hacer un climbing trip. A ver si nos cruzamos! Y bueno lo de los sociales dales tiempo, es verdad que es muy diferente a la cultura hispana pero una vez que agarran confianza son amigos super leales :)
If you want to make friends at university spend some time living in student accomidation, there are not a great deal of aussies to make friends with there but those that are there are dying to make international friends, and you will meet like minded people from other countries. Just be wary that in order to fit in, a lot of people will want to party all the time which can be detrimental for any serious studies or if you have an irregular schedule. Also there are a lot of rules in uni accom which is exhausting, so a lot of people tend to spend 6-12 months to make friends before moving out.
You don't get friends in australia. You met people who are friendly with you. But they never ever come close like friends, the smile is false, and they never tell you something honest. 'Privacy' is the most important thing in australia. So you never get a chance to get a australian as honest true real friend.
Join a club or group, that you would have done in your original country, ie I’m a competition rifle shooter each time I’ve moved within Australia I’ve joined the local club and go from there👍
@@user-ci2uz8ff6k most people do, and for me joining a club in a recreation that I already enjoy helps to open up with people I already have a common interest with. Makes making a connection easier.
Acerca de lo que comentaste de que es dificil hacer amigos en la universidad, no siempre es el caso. Mis hijos hicieron varios amigos en la universidad. Quizas en Melbourne es mas dificil que en Sydney.
The way to make friends in Australia is to minimise your self so the people around you don’t feel bad about themselves . It’s sick mind sets here of constantly comparing to others .
Don' t get ne wrong. Your accent is quite good compared to other people from latin countries. Making friends should be easy for pretty people like you:) I' m from Istanbul and will temporarily(2 years) move to Adelaide at the end of the month. Thanks for this.
Hi I’m from Adelaide, please enjoy your stay in my home state, please just come with an open mind and give it time. Join a club or group that you already have an interest in (or already do in your original country).
ARGENTINIAN eh? I'm from the same....."country" (I reckon Argentina still adjust to that definition although I'm not 100% sure). I'm on my way to Australia in a couple of months so this was a ripper 👌 (Bien ahí Martina)
Im from malaysia i got offer job from australia..but one thing which make me double minded is how if i miss malaysian food...is there are asean store i can buy ingredients to cook my own malaysian dishes in australia??? I cannot live without having pleasure to have my own fav food 😅😅
People don’t open up immediately , you need push or common friend to proceed mostly , even kids don’t know how to make friends , problem at school education
Hi! Glad you liked the video :) I think it depends on the gym. I always recommend going to a rock climbing/bouldering gym, or cross fit, or yoga, or even a sports club - any place where you can hang out and meet other people very easily. The 'traditional' gym is fine, but it will be a bit trickier to meet someone there.
The australian culture used to be quite good but then multiculturalism was heavily pushed. I don't say that in a mean way but i have definitely noticed the shift in Aussie culture. Furthermore, the push to be inclusive and not offend anyone has definitely caused a superficiality in interactions.
Thanks for the question! A good tool for finding english courses in Aus is www.studyaustralia.gov.au/en/plan-your-studies/english-courses.html (at the bottom of the page you can use the search tool)
I'm Aussie, I'm in Brisbane. I'm always open to meeting new people and making friends, if anyone is looking for friends in Brisbane Queensland feel free to message me.
Cultural shock and gender are the biggest reasons I've found that make difficult to befriend ppl in Australia. I'm latino and we're known for being very kind-hearted, passionate and mostly excentric. I see that a lot of other cultures take such traits as exaggerated and others might even think you're either flirting with them or straight up making them uncomfortable. This is even worse as a male. So basically, adapting your culture and not being a guy are the two best shots you have to make friends in Australia.
😂 why you have No friends between work and family I have no time. Barely anytime for family. Combined with their working life that's almost zero time. In Australia you work most 12 hours a day six days in a week mostly shift work so that leaves to conflicting and confusion. Enjoy. The wages only just cover the rent or property cost. We work for retirement which is almost depleted after running cost and taxes 😂. It's not all a bed of roses be careful your not being sold lies.
@@Dystopian03 It is. Unless you want to live in Australia. Then you are what they call a 'tall poppy' and they won't want to have anything to do with you. You'll be richer and more successful than others, as I am, and you are resented if you aren't covered in tattoos, mentally ill, broke and addicted to drugs like every other mindless drone. You might think that I'm joking. Australia is a toilet and, thanks to my critical thinking I want out but I can't hire anyone to run my business because 70% of people here are on some sort of government assisted welfare. 70%. Just think about what kind of people that breeds.
@@eztravels8318 I don’t think a person should minimise them self just to make the person next to them feel better about themselves another classic Australianism

Aww.. So that's the Aussie rule
hey, why is discussing social issues considered private?
@@testing38919 I guess it's a cultural thing.
Politics and social issues...ughh...too heavy and not the basis for friendship for most people.
@@testing38919I'd get bored and uninterested if someone I barely knew asked me about social issues, also when you talk about social issues it's hard to navigate around the grey areas since you don't know which side the person stands on and you don't want to offend them

They are very similar with Canadian!
I mean. I have been living in Finland and it’s exactly like this or worse.
If you’re really struggling, tell an Australian and ask for help. They will make an effort to include you or suggest places to go!

Australians in general are friendly...not rude and are open minded.
true except for the junkies down in frankston, dande, and the west side of VIC
Absolute Rubbish!...I have met many Aussies who are rude, ignorant and close minded

Acerca de lo que comentaste de que es dificil hacer amigos en la universidad, no siempre es el caso. Mis hijos hicieron varios amigos en la universidad. Quizas en Melbourne es mas dificil que en Sydney.
The way to make friends in Australia is to minimise your self so the people around you don’t feel bad about themselves . It’s sick mind sets here of constantly comparing to others .
love your videos, great infos. sorry to mention but the frame on the wall is tilted
It hard to be proactive when you loss confident to speak and listen to the local.
Don' t get ne wrong. Your accent is quite good compared to other people from latin countries. Making friends should be easy for pretty people like you:)
I' m from Istanbul and will temporarily(2 years) move to Adelaide at the end of the month. Thanks for this.
Hi I’m from Adelaide, please enjoy your stay in my home state, please just come with an open mind and give it time. Join a club or group that you already have an interest in (or already do in your original country).
@@twilightroach4274 As soon as I get my first paycheck.
very well said 👍
ARGENTINIAN eh? I'm from the same....."country" (I reckon Argentina still adjust to that definition although I'm not 100% sure). I'm on my way to Australia in a couple of months so this was a ripper 👌
(Bien ahí Martina)
Good morning my love for you and your family and friends. India
Anyone in Sydney would like to hang out?
Don’t forget the most important way to connect… churches.
Im from malaysia i got offer job from australia..but one thing which make me double minded is how if i miss malaysian food...is there are asean store i can buy ingredients to cook my own malaysian dishes in australia??? I cannot live without having pleasure to have my own fav food 😅😅
You will find plenty of Malaysian restaurants and food
In terms of culture acceptance, America is the best
People don’t open up immediately , you need push or common friend to proceed mostly , even kids don’t know how to make friends , problem at school education
This is very informative for me to learn how to make a good relationship with Aussie people. What do you think going to gym to have a friendship?
Hi! Glad you liked the video :) I think it depends on the gym. I always recommend going to a rock climbing/bouldering gym, or cross fit, or yoga, or even a sports club - any place where you can hang out and meet other people very easily. The 'traditional' gym is fine, but it will be a bit trickier to meet someone there.
I agree, anywhere you need to collaborate will help!
How did you make them?
I am from India. I try to come Australia as pharmacist. So what's future for pharmacist in Australia?? Is it worth to come or not??
So despite the challenges of getting a US visa, I would say America is the best place to immigrate to.
The australian culture used to be quite good but then multiculturalism was heavily pushed. I don't say that in a mean way but i have definitely noticed the shift in Aussie culture. Furthermore, the push to be inclusive and not offend anyone has definitely caused a superficiality in interactions.
Im in Sydney ...anyone wants to be friends ?
Where can I find a place for learning english better in AUS ?

Cultural shock and gender are the biggest reasons I've found that make difficult to befriend ppl in Australia.
I'm latino and we're known for being very kind-hearted, passionate and mostly excentric. I see that a lot of other cultures take such traits as exaggerated and others might even think you're either flirting with them or straight up making them uncomfortable. This is even worse as a male.
So basically, adapting your culture and not being a guy are the two best shots you have to make friends in Australia.
I want a friend
I want to study in Australia anyone plzz
Hi
😂 why you have No friends between work and family I have no time. Barely anytime for family. Combined with their working life that's almost zero time. In Australia you work most 12 hours a day six days in a week mostly shift work so that leaves to conflicting and confusion. Enjoy. The wages only just cover the rent or property cost. We work for retirement which is almost depleted after running cost and taxes 😂. It's not all a bed of roses be careful your not being sold lies.
If your a critical thinker then you’ll be lonely on australia
This is SO true.
Well, isn't critical thinking a good thing and isn't it what intelligent people do? So should we basically be more of a silly then?
@@Dystopian03 It is. Unless you want to live in Australia. Then you are what they call a 'tall poppy' and they won't want to have anything to do with you. You'll be richer and more successful than others, as I am, and you are resented if you aren't covered in tattoos, mentally ill, broke and addicted to drugs like every other mindless drone. You might think that I'm joking. Australia is a toilet and, thanks to my critical thinking I want out but I can't hire anyone to run my business because 70% of people here are on some sort of government assisted welfare. 70%. Just think about what kind of people that breeds.
Maybe he meant - don't be excessively wise nor be righteous overmuch.
@@eztravels8318 I don’t think a person should minimise them self just to make the person next to them feel better about themselves another classic Australianism
Wish I'm in Australia marrying to a white woman😍😊
Perfect place for me. Because I'm used to be lonely.
Thanks for your video although I'm not in australia
I swear CZcams recommended me this I am not lonely 🥲
