There are lots of new words to (re)learn now that we are moving to the USA. Here are a few of the ones I have needed already.
American = Australian
diaper = nappy
pacifier = dummy
jumper = tunic
cantaloupe = rock melon
sweet peppers = capsicum
mailbox = post box
baby carriage = pram
biscuit = scone
gas = petrol
Thank goodness we don't have to learn second declension spellings! Here is a handy translation site in case you can't understand what I'm saying http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/~aaron/amlish.html

Moving to the country (as opposed to another country) can be just as bad! Hang in there :)
