Description

Welcome back to the Aussie English podcast!

In today's Sunday episode, I am going to talk about the English expression "be on a roll".

We are not going to roll on the ground for this!

I will be breaking down the meaning of the words in this phrase, and tell you about its origin - yes, like rolling dice!

Listen closely for a bonus English expression: get to the bottom of things - I'll be giving a short explanation of this English idiom!

There will be example situations given so you'd know when you can use this expression.

I will also be answering a question from Luciana and she asks what Australians think of immigrants.

And lastly, get your pen & paper ready and try to catch the exact words in this short clip from the classic Australian cult film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
