This episode is going off like a frog in a sock. And at the moment, so are the Olympics! But that's a bit strange isn't it? Wouldn't a frog in a sock be a bit angry? Yes it would. It would be going off. In this episode we talk about the two ways we can use and apply this classic Australian idiom. We talk about why Australian idioms use animals and why they might be so visually oriented. We talk about how and why expressions and idioms change over time. This leads us into a discussion of some more difficult to pronounce words. We have a couple of contenders for our difficult word to pronounce challenge from Brazil. We also give you some new tips and tricks to help your pronunciation so that you don't go off with frustration. So, wherever you're listening to this, we hope you're having a great time. Maybe where you are, it is going off like a frog in a sock!
