Episode 236: WeK236 - Nick Nasev on Australian English


Listen Later

Nick Nasev is a London-based accredited translator of Southern Slavic languages into English. He has also been an editor of and contributor to many award-winning books and journals about southeast Europe. But get this… his surname might not show it, but he’s actually a fourth-generation Aussie and also an expert in Australian culture and its own form of English, topics he also writes about. For almost 2 decades Nick has been working for many high-profile clients adapting their English copy and text for an Australian audience. And no, it’s not simply a case of just adding -ie to the end of every word.

We talked about:

  • Nick’s early introduction to languages and his multilingual upbringing
  • Some differences between Australian English and British English plus Australian English accents
  • Why it’s good to be like a child when you’re learning a language
  • How Nick keeps his Australian English up-to-date
