G’day, guys! Ready for another awesome episode of Pete’s 2c? You know the drill – I’m diving into the questions you’ve sent in on Instagram, and today we’ve got a real kicker.
Ever wondered why Australia’s women’s national football team goes by the name Matildas? Well, wonder no more, because I’m spilling the beans on that one. Get ready for some footy fun!
But wait, there’s more! We’re tackling some Aussie pronunciation mysteries. I’ll chat about how to say “schedule” and give that tricky letter Z an Aussie twist. Plus, we’re unraveling the mystery behind the Australian O sound. Trust me, by the end of this episode, you’ll be speaking like a true-blue Aussie!
And that’s a wrap for today, folks. Thanks for tuning in to another round of Pete’s 2c. Catch you in the next episode. Stay curious and keep those questions coming!
