AE 1067 - THE GOSS:
Swearing, Honorifics, & Australia's Informal Culture
Learn Australian English by listening to this episode of The Goss!
These are conversations with my old man Ian Smissen for you to learn more about Australian culture, news, and current affairs.Â
In today's episode...
Hey there, you mob! How’s it going this week?
I got my dad Ian on the podcast today and we’re talking about SWEARING.
Yes, those people who have ‘colorful vocabulary’ — we talk about how people learn how to swear.
It’s funny to think that we all know how to do it, but you’d be the last person to teach someone how to swear.
Also, we talk about honorifics! Honorifics are words that imply or express a high status, politeness, or respect.
Like, Captain (of a ship), Professor (of an academic stufy), or Reverend (of a religious sector).
Join us today as we talk about Australia’s informal culture, and the honorifics that Aussies often use.
Improve your listening skills today – listen, play, & pause this episode – and start speaking like a native English speaker!
