Welcome back to the Aussie English podcast!

My first guest for the year 2023 is the amazing CEO and host of the All Ears English podcast, Lindsay McMahon.

In today’s episode, we talk about the difference between American and Australian business English.

Yes, there is a stark difference between the two, as business English is influenced by culture — culture bleed, right, that’s a good word for that!. This is includes difference in jargon, slang terms, expressions, and other stuff.

One interesting example here is the use of ‘sir’. In the American culture, when you’re a police officer, or a person of authority, and you are to address a local citizen, you’d notice the use of sir/ma’am back and forth. Whereas here in Australia, you’ll hear both parties call each other ‘mate’.

Join us today as we talk about these cultural differences and how they affect American English and Australian English!

We're down with the first week of 2023!

I hope you had a "blast" 😂 -- me? Yeah, nah. After all the exhausting ruckus during the day, the kids tucked in early and I turned the tv on to watch big city fireworks.

We are starting this year with today's episode where I answer your questions via Instagram.

One of the questions asked is "how can [he/she]they] work as a English teacher". This is in context that the person who asked the question is a non-native English speaker.

And to give you a straighforward answer: YES, you can!

Also, in today episode, I talk about the meaning of "bromance" and how to use the word "drag" in a sentence; literally and figuratively.

Lastly, don't miss out when I explain the difference betweem "get used to", "be used to", and "used to".

Cheers to the best year ever, 2023! 🥂

Welcome back, mate!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Oh, it's been a crazy 2022 for Aussie English and my family. There's been much ups and downs and highs and lows, and I feel like I've gotten to know myself more this year.

In today's episode, I talk about what Australians usually do for Christmas. A lot of people are curious about this 
because you see a lot of Christmases in cold weather whilst it's pretty sweltering hot here Down Under!

Another awesome advantage of being in Australia is we get to see the rest of the world welcome the new year after we're done with ours!

I also talk about Australian's love for watching fireworks display! Aussies love it so much that we all gather in massive open grounds to watch the awesome lights & sounds display on New Year's Eve.

And this is where I got robbed.

Thanks for all the support and I hope you enjoyed your 2022. Let's all look forward to living a better, more prosperous 2023!

See you all in the next episode!

Merry Christmas, you mob!

How are you enjoying the holidays so far?

I finally got to sit down with my wife Kel and thought it's best we talk about how the year 2022 went by for us.

I admit I must have been sounding negative in some of the recent episodes but I believe we're ending the year as better individuals, and parents!

In particular, now that Kel's got work, the tables have turned and now I'm the one at home with the kids while still doing Aussie English with you guys. It's been truly brutal for me but there were certainly lovely developments like Noah who has toilet trained himself!

Kel's now working at a music school and listen how she has rediscovered things she loves doing for herself.

We also talk about the issues we ran into when getting the house -- I mean, real estate in Australia is pretty expensive and it's a lot of work getting into it!

Finally, there's some news about what's in store for Aussie English in the first quarter of 2023! Don't miss out on that!

See you in the next episode!

Hey, how's it going, you mob?

I am sitting down again for another round of great Question and Answer with you guys!

In today's episode, I tell you about Peaches, our rescue cat, and how she took over our house! She's a real darling now so listen in to know how we adopted her.

I also talk about Australian traditions like "doing the shoey", some great AU universities, and how expensive it is to live in Sydney.

There were also questions about a popular Aussie food called the Southern fried chicken and how to deal with spiders in the house.

One great question thrown is "Why do I sound British when I'm trying to sound Australian" -- here's a clue to the answer: it's how you say "watuh" vs "wottah".

And lastly, tune in for a PROMO Code you can use on all Aussie English courses!

I'll see you in the next episode!

Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!

Today’s expression is “the jig is up”.

If you get asked to take a guess on what it means, I’d totally understand if you come up with several ones - that 3-letter short word “jig” has many meanings!

No worries, today’s your day to learn all about it!

For this episode’s Q and A, I answer a question from IG user Hamed who asks “What are bell peppers called in Australia? When I go to Subway, no one knows what a bell pepper is!”

Apparently, some people find it weird that Australians call bell peppers “capsicum”. Yes, we use the scientific name. Weird, but it works!

There’s also a joke today about a definition of the word ‘jig’!

We will also break down the different words & phrases in the expression “the jig is up”.

There will be examples of how I would use the phrase in daily conversations.

Don’t miss out on listening to the Pronunciation Exercise to learn how to pronounce the expression.

And finally, be sure to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a longer-than-usual clip from the new Australian series “Troppo”.

Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!

Today’s expression is “under the pump”.

Now, don’t get funny images in your mind because, like any figurative expression, this phrase totally means something else.

In today’s episode, I answer a question from IG user Sajad on how to say the words “bean”, “been”, and “bin”.

And because we’re talking about “bean”, you’re going to fall off your seat laughing at my new joke!

As always, we will break down the different words & phrases in the expression.

Also, note the example situations where I use the expression “under the pump”.

And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a longer-than-usual clip from the Australian series “The Tourist”.

Sharpen those ears, you might have to play it several times!

I’ve been surfing the Net recently and stumbled upon this webpage with beautiful “old farmer” sayings.

You know that type of excellent life advise that gets passed from generation to generation, and usually comes from “old men”.

Listen to me as I read these to you, or you can always pause and repeat what I said.

This is a great practice for your English pronunciation, added vocabulary, and gives you significant life advise -- defo shareable!

Here’s a bonus: These “old man wisdom” quotes are a great conversation starter. Try it with a friend and let me know how it went!
