EP 15: Dodgy Learn an essential Australian adjective to describe someone or something of low quality or with little trust. We speak with our first French guest on the show, and we talk about his journey to permanent residency in Australia. We learn equivalent French and Spanish terms for "dodgy", chelou, louche, and lo atamos con alambre. We talk about the history of French place names in Western Australia - challenges when moving to Australia. And also how to adjust to speaking a second language in a different country. We also learn a little about synonyms for dodgy - bodgie and how it relates to Australia's counter-culture. We hope you enjoy it and can add this to your vocabulary.
