Next Level English: Free Australian English Course

Next Level English is a free Australian English course from Pete Smissen, the Aussie English teacher behind the Aussie English podcast. In five short days you learn one simple routine that turns any piece of English audio into a lesson, and you practise it on real Australian English: news clips, podcast talk and an everyday conversation full of Aussie slang.

How the 5-step method works

1. Listen to the audio without reading anything.

2. Write down the words you hear on your worksheet.

3. Listen and read the transcript. Mark the words you knew but didn't catch, and look up the ones that are new.

4. Listen and read again, paying attention to the highlighted words and phrases.

5. Repeat the audio a few times over the week until it feels easy.

What's inside the 5 days

• Day 1: why listening comes first, and Pete's 5-step method on video.

• Day 2: next-level listening with three short Australian audio clips.

• Day 3: listening to natural conversations, again in three clips.

• Day 4: an Aussie dialogue: Pete gets lost in the outback on his way to Uluru and asks a local for directions.

• Day 5: what to do next to keep improving.

Every audio lesson comes with a downloadable worksheet and a transcript, so you can study online at your own pace. You get full lifetime access and a certificate of completion.

Why learn Australian English with Aussie English?

Pete has been helping English learners understand Australians since 2015, with more than 1,500 podcast episodes produced in Ocean Grove, Victoria. You hear real Australian accents, slang and culture, not textbook English, so you are ready for real conversations in Australia and with Aussies anywhere.
