Description

Welcome to the weekly expression lesson episode here on the Aussie English podcast!

In today’s episode, I am going to teach you about the English expression “take no prisoners”.

I will give you a breakdown of the meaning of the words in the expression and its full meaning.

There will also be examples given so you’ll know how to use the expression.

Plus, you will learn the grisly origin of this expression!

I will also answer a question from an IG follower who asks about how one should pronounce the words “weather” and “whether”. 

We will practice saying the expression “take no prisoners” and don’t forget to have something to write on as you try to catch what was said in this clip from the Australian drama/comedy movie The Castle.
