Pete Smissen

G'day you mob, Pete here, and this is another episode of Aussie English, the number one place for anyone and everyone wanting to learn Australian English.

So, today I have a Goss episode for you, where I sit down with my old man, my father, Ian Smithson, and we talk about the week's news, whether locally down under here in Australia or non-locally overseas in other parts of the world, okay.

And we sometimes also talk about

whatever comes to mind, right?

If we can think of something interesting to share with you guys related to us or Australia, we also talk about that in The Goss.

So, these episodes are specifically designed to try and give you content about many different topics.

where we're obviously speaking in English and there are multiple people having a natural and spontaneous conversation in English.

So, it is particularly good to improve your listening skills.

In order to complement that, though, I really recommend that you join the podcast membership or the Academy membership at AussieEnglish.com.au, where you will get access to the full transcripts of these episodes, the PDFs, the downloads, and you can also use the online

PDF reader to read and listen at the same time.

Okay.

So, if you really, really want to improve your listening skills fast, get the transcript, listen and read at the same time, keep practising and that is the quickest way to level up your English.

Anyway, I've been rabbiting on a bit.

I've been talking a bit.

Let's just get into this episode, guys.

Smack the bird and let's get into it.

Yeah, that's it.

Maybe it'll be... I'll have to slow it down later by 0.75 speed.

So, we went away for my birthday on the weekend to my grandparents... Happy birthday.

Thank you.
