In today's episode...

Crikey, it’s me Pete, back with another cracker episode of Aussie English! Today, we’re delving into the lingo like a magpie after a barbie snag – we’re talkin’ about “mincing your words”. ☀️

Ever reckon someone’s talkin’ around the bush? Maybe sugar-coating somethin’ a bit too much? Well, that’s where this beauty comes in! We’ll break down what it means, how to use it like a true blue Aussie, and even chuck in a joke or two (don’t worry, it’s not a dud like that cow one!).

But wait, there’s more! We’ll also chat about:

  • The weather down under (spoiler alert: it’s not always shrimp on the barbie!)
  • Saying “goodnight” like a pro (turns out it’s not that simple, cobber!)
  • When to be direct and when to, well, mince your words a bit. ‍♀️
  • Plus, a sneaky listenin’ comprehension quiz to test your Aussie ear! 🇦🇺

So grab a cuppa, chuck another shrimp on the barbie (metaphorically speakin’, of course!), and settle in for a ripper of a yarn! You won’t regret it, fair dinkum!

See ya there, legends!
