How important are podcasts to you for learning a language? Being so accessible, podcasts are a great way to practice your listening skills for any language! But it’s not always just about the language itself. Listening to podcasts can also be a way to learn more about another culture and about other more subtle aspects of communicating in another language too.
In this episode, we speak with Pete Smissen, creator of Aussie English, a podcast and learning platform that helps advanced English students level up their Australian English whilst also learning about the country’s unique culture, history, and more. We chat about he came to focus his work on helping English learners to better understand Australian English, his interest in language and the languages he has learned the highs and lows that he’s faced as a learner and a creator, and his best tips for language learners.
