Description

Learn Australian English in this Expression episode of the Aussie English Podcast.

These episodes aim to teach you common English expressions as well as give you a fair dinkum true-blue dose of Aussie culture, history, and news and current affairs.

I am going to teach you about the English expression "in the belly of the beast"!

Do you remember the children's story about Pinocchio's dad getting swallowed by a whale?

We got someone who experience just that in 2021.

In this episode, I will tell you the meaning of the expression, how the expression came about, give you situations where you can appropriately use the expression.

Also, I will talk about whales in Australia and introduce you to Migaloo!
