Would you like to know how to insult people from England? Of course you would, who wouldn't? And in this episode, we're doing exactly that. You will learn the Australian insult for an Englishman, POM.

But how did this get to be an insult and where did it come from? Our guest, Dennis, a POM is here to help you understand. A former Prisoner Of Mother England, Dennis arrived in Australia some 50 years ago. He tells his amazing story of how he arrived and succeeded in Australia.

He also explains the similarities and differences between London English and the English that Australians speak. We talk about the evolving nature of language and how even among English speakers, there can confusion.

Dennis had difficulties learning English as a kid, but is an outstanding word game player. He shares with us his strategies for learning languages and provides tips and advice for anyone struggling with another language, or even with their own.

He is living in a place many travelers and backpackers might be familiar with. See if you can identify it, and place it on a map. It's certainly a long way from mother England.
