I went to Boarding school in Hamilton many years ago... An Anglican one called St Paul's. Collegiate.. then I went and studied French and English at Uni there... I left in 1984 for Sydney as I was adopted into Sydney at birth... another degree in Australia and trained to be a Chef at Ryde TAFE... to level 4... so I've done the yards eh... I also learnt to surf at Raglan,,, Awesome place for their pies and the pub every Friday nite had a Blues Band!!!and the mussels are unreal out there too... and I am an Atheist... I was convinced then and know I know a lot more
me as a german, i only hear really tiny differents between the english accents. but maybe thats normal 😂. i mean i also discovered many times, that native speakers doesnt recognized the differents, if i spoke in a north germany accent, saxon accent, bavarian or the hundred others we have in Germany. And for us, these dialects/accents are really really different in Germany. btw, i realized right now that i made a mistake 😂. these are dialects and its different then an accent. now i actually not even now, what an accent is. we just have completely different dialects here.... idk...
Chantel when you and your family have any problems/difficulties with New Zealand slang when you arrived in New Zealand? For instance "Fanny" has a very different meaning here in New Zealand, Australia and the UK (I think) compared to in America.
Hola! What do you and your husband do for a living to have such a wonderful traveling life with your beautiful daughters? I was born in Bluefields Nicaragua, you guys have to visit the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua, go to Corn Island and Little Corn Island, you and the girls will love it. I just got done watching your experience in San Juan del Sur, I also love that place. You guys are great parents sharing these experience with your children, memories are priceless. I would love to be able to do this and make as living from my laptop. Bless you all
Thanks! We loved our time in Nicaragua. Funny that you're commenting on this video because Anne, who is teaching us some Kiwi slang, was in San Juan del Sur at the same time we were and this is where we met!!! We work from home which allows us to be remote and anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.
Growing Up Without Borders yes, I looked up your most recent video to see how the girls have grown, just checking up on you guys, I live in Mesa Arizona, grew up in California and born in Bluefields Nicaragua. You guys are digital nomads, what industry are you going n that offers such beautiful life? I just love how your are raising your children
Growing Up Without Borders PS I have been unemployed since June 24th, considering taking my social security to make ends meet, but my dream is to go back to Nicaragua and spend half a year there in San Juan and Bluefields

choice and chur are North Island words, also Hello is Hello in the South Island, and as is Morning and Family they are not said any other way.
No Maori down south? Nonsense, You're in NZ...not England. This is a country created by two races...be more respectful of Te Reo ignorant fool.
I suspect that’s just your friends and family, not the South Island
@@ngatibroffessor1840 "ignorant fool" just telling it like it is.
@@hakaboy6924 Come for a visit sometime, but leave your north island accent up there.
Its nice how if you travel with kids school is optional, as they are already learning so much useful skills while travelling constantly anyway...
Yes! They learn quite a bit on the road but they still follow a curriculum as well.
Moving here the accent was hard to learn
I bet. 🤣🤣
