English With An Aussie: Mastering English & The Wonders of Australia

Break The Ice: Supercharge Your English with Idiomatic Expressions

Adriana Cefala Season 1 Episode 9

You're listening to English with an Aussie, the #1 podcast spoken entirely in slow English.

Welcome everybody! My name is Adriana, an experienced English teacher from Down Under. I have created this podcast for international students, professionals and intermediate ESL speakers who are planning their new lives in Australia. Each episode I will share an interesting aspect about the Australian culture. In addition to this, you will find many grammatical lessons to help you start speaking like a native in no time!

Have you ever heard somebody say “it’s raining cats and dogs?” In today’s episode we’ll be diving into the creative, and sometimes confusing world of idiomatic expressions - an important part of everyday language for Australians. I’ll be breaking down what idioms are, why Australians love using them and how they can take your English to the next level. Along the way I’ll be sharing many examples and tricks, so grab a cuppa and be ready to take some notes!
