Miley Cyrus goes the Aussie way for boyfriend

London: Teen star Miley Cyrus is going the Aussie way for her rumoured boyfriend Liam Hemsworth who has teaching her the lingo from his native country.

The `Hannah Montana` star met Hemsworth on the set of new movie `The Last Song` and they grew close as they filmed together in Georgia, a news website reported. Cyrus, who split from model Justin Gaston earlier this year, has been rumoured to be dating the Australian actor and the pair fuelled speculation of a new romance when they were photographed kissing in Paris, France, earlier this month. The 17-year-old star has now revealed the star was by her side when she fell ill in September, which led to the cancellation of three gigs on her US tour, and Hemsworth nursed her back to health by giving her a book of Australian phrases - to help familiarise her with the country`s slang. "Liam actually went to Australia and then came back. The first night he came back, I had gotten really sick, he brought me back a book to make me laugh, of all the lingo. He was like, `I`ve never heard half of this stuff but some of it`s pretty funny!` It`s really funny how different yet alike America and Australia are," Cyrus said. The star recently purchased a new puppy and she`s even given it an Australian name in honour of Hemsworth. "I just bought a little German Shepherd and I named it Mate because I always say `mate` now to Liam. So that`s my little German Shepherd dog`s name," she added. PTI
