    Description

    We recently celebrated Father's Day here in Australia - September 5th, actually - and so I got to celebrate with my family.

    Happy Father's Day to all dads out there!

    And so I read about this amusing contest in the UK for fathers to come up with the best dad joke! They even got a top-rated standup comedian be the judge. It must've been fun hearing all those jokes.

    Well, this week's English expression has got something to do with that contest's winning joke.

    And what's something that (almost) all dads want (and need!) -- cars!

    In this episode, I will be talking about Australia's first car AND why we call cars 'cars'!

    Do YOU own a car? Tell me about it!

    G’day and welcome to the Aussie English podcast. I’m Pete Smissen and my objective here is to teach you guys the English spoken down under. Whether you plan to travel, to work or to live in Australia or you just have an interest in our culture, history and spoken dialect of English. You have come to the right place. And whether you aim to speak English like a true blue Aussie or you just want to be able to understand “what the flippin’ hell we’re on about when we’re havin’ a yarn”. You have come to the right place. If you listen to this podcast you will learn: • A ton of Aussie slang and vocabulary, • Heaps of terms and expressions, • And a bunch about Australian history and culture. So kick back, grab a cuppa and enjoy Aussie English!
