In today's episode...
Welcome back to a new episode of the Aussie English Expression series, where we explore and explain popular phrases and idioms in the English language.
In today’s episode, we will dive into the expression “sit on your hands.” I will define the expression and break down the meaning of each word, so you can better understand its use. Then, I will provide some practical examples to help you master the expression’s context and usage.
We will also do a quick dip on its history, with a light chew on how it came to be a part of everyday language.
Join me as we will also analyze the pronunciation of the sentences, paying attention to intonation, stress, and speech connections, which will help you sound more like a native English speaker.
To make the most of this episode, be sure to grab a paper and pen and listen carefully to the audio clip from a popular TV series.
I hope that you find this episode to be a fun learning experience, and that you enjoy it as much as I did creating it!
Thanks for always being a loyal listener!Â
