Welcome to another episode of the Aussie English podcast! On today's journey, we're unpacking the popular expression 'up in the air.' Not sure what that means? All good! Pete breaks down the meaning of this curious idiom in a way that's easy to understand, bringing it down to earth just for you. 

But we're not stopping there! Ever wondered where such a phrase might have originated? Tune in as we go back in time to discover the captivating origin story of 'up in the air.' You'll be surprised by its story!

As always, Pete loves to hear from his listeners, and in this episode, he answers a question from Manu, who asks: "I’m Italian/German and dating an Aussie man. Do you think it could work culturally?" Listen in as Pete dives into figuring out how to connect with partners interested in your culture.

We also have a pronunciation exercise lined up! This is the perfect opportunity to tweak your English speaking skills, and don't worry, we're all about making mistakes and learning together.

Also, we chew over some essential grammar skills. Ever noticed how native English speakers love to shorten their words? That's called contracted speech. Pete gives you a handy crash course in pronoun contraction, focusing on the 'pronoun + would' combination in this episode.

Switching gears a bit, Pete introduces you to a new Aussie TV show, "In Limbo." It's coming up on iview soon and already getting rave reviews! It's also an excellent resource for English learners to practice their listening skills in a fun way. Listen carefully to the short clip from the show, just enough to get your language senses tingling.

Don't forget there's a complementary worksheet for extra practice. It's all about active learning here!

Get ready to soar 'up in the air' with this episode. It is filled with enriching language nuggets, practical exercises, and delightful entertainment. Happy listening!
