I met Jack when he was bludging his away around South America. He came to be an excellent teacher of conversational English due to his relaxed style and good nature.

Oriana and I talk to Jack about his experiences learning languages, his experiences teaching and his experiences bludging. Now back in Australia, working as a surveyor, he has first hand contact with Australian slang on construction sites.

Enjoy some hilarious anecdotes and stories of Jack living in Queensland and at work. And even how he came to meet another guest on our show, completely by accident.

Learn how this word came to be used in such a negative way. Also get to know how we might use related words and terms like Dole Bludger, and sporting insults like sheep-dog and seagull.

So, maybe you are bludging whilst listening to this episode. Or maybe you're studying hard. Whatever it is, enjoy this light hearted episode, ya dirty bludgers!
