This is a "glossary" of Kiwi-English for Japanese students of English. It is intended to give them a rough idea of how English is used in other parts of the world. They may find it a little different from the English they learn at school. The differences are mostly in vocabulary, which reflects the life of the people who live there. It is hoped that this article will help students develop an interest in different cultures as well as English. Some of the words included are: Boxing Day, conservatory, dairy, apartment, flat, B&B, brekkie, backpackers, toilet, loo, bush walk, tramping, Kia Ora, etc.
