I was born in Melbourne but I was changed to Myanmar (Burma) after my kindergarten stage so I didn’t get all of Australian words and then I found your channel on TH-cam and I was really interested so I watched all of yours videos and I knew Australian words more than before.Thunk you so much man “)
Hi my dear Proficient Master and Mentor Pete, I am an Indian and my name is Ashok Wasnik and I am very much thankful about your the most guidanable lesson in term of idiomatic language and soundable expressions .
Hi pete Appreciate for your videos. Definitely they are so helpful and informative. In Persian we use another expression for wild goose chase. We say "black pea chase" instead
Great choice of Aussie expressions! I laughed when you said 'thick as a brick', I use that all the time. This is an excellent channel. One thing that did bug me though is at 5:55 where in the example sentence the word knew is spelt incorrectly as new.
Omg..m so happy that I found your channel. You explain everything beautifully and those extra examples... I hope I won't get in a sticky situation now 😆
Yeah, although, you can often succeed with a wild goose chase. It just requires a lot of effort, time, and energy. Chasing rainbows is more like attempting something you'll never achieve.
I find a new expression in the video - get on like a house is on fire. which means they like each other very much and become friends very quickly. it's kinda same meaning with as thick as thieves.
Hello Pete, it appears you have coined a "knew" use of new in your previous example. Is it a broad, or cutivated use of the word in a "sticky situation".
This might sound weird but I'm learning Aussie pronounciation/accent to make some work related online meetings fun. Imagine a Polish dude who never set his foot in an English speaking country suddenly appearing and speaking with an Australian accent. Lol
I tip over in front of my crush and I'm in 'sticky situation'. Is that correct? HAHA hope so. I love your lessons Pete. I've always wanted to speak Aussie English fluently you know, just in case I meet Cate Blanchett huhu.
Hey, mate. I’m curious about one thing. Is there a native English accent with rhotic r and true t i.e. which pronounces the word water with both 'true t' and 'rhotic r'? Obviously, I couldn't find one but have seen some people do this, which is possibly an influence of American and British or sth like that. Would you happen to know if there was such an accent?
I really found myself in a sticky situation when I forgot to get a present for my girlfriend's birthday and all the shops were closed, just one hour away from the time I was supposed to pick her up and go celebrate
People here in BR use to refer to someone who talks a lot as "ele/ela fala mais que o homem da cobra" and my grandma used to tell there was in fact a man selling snakes products at a public market when she was a child... Now I am wondering if in fact "the snake oil man" came here to sell his "products". 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Pete, I followed your channel more than 3 years. It helps me a lot.but I found most natives’ pronunciation are not as clear as you.it makes me hard to understand. Do you have any tips for us to get use to different accents and pronunciations?
A Sticky Situation The border lockdown kicked in when I had just set out my rare weekend trip and I knew that I was in a sticky situation. A Wild Goose Chase My boss sent me on a wild goose chase to get her a copy of the book that was released in 1960s and I didn't know it existed until she told me. A Snake oil salesman My best friend's mother got sucked into Multi-level Marketing scheme somehow and now she regularly knocks every neighbour's door, selling skincare products and soaps that are claimed to be capable of reverse-aging. She's really become a snake oil salesman now. Sleight of Hand You can enjoy some spectacle sleight of hand in this pottery class.
And a snake oil salesman never heard of this before you are using language that's back in the ancient time we don't use talk language like this or like that it's we will call a person like this like that a con artist someone who is manipulating trying to get you to believe something that isn't true or sell you something that isn't what it is that's a con artist not snake of something
Slight of hands what is this this is funny what the world wow where did you get these acknowledges from if this was to happen or happened we would just call him a pickpocket for a trickster or whatever but not what you saying I don't even know what you're saying
"I hadn't idea how to present the assignment to the board, it was an sticky situation."

Hi pete
Appreciate for your videos. Definitely they are so helpful and informative.

Nice to see another great video from you Pete! That was super helpful since I wasn't familiar with these expressions before
Great choice of Aussie expressions! I laughed when you said 'thick as a brick', I use that all the time. This is an excellent channel.
One thing that did bug me though is at 5:55 where in the example sentence the word knew is spelt incorrectly as new.
How can I download the transcript ?
Nice video! Good thing for you guys watching is that we also use a lot of these phrases in the UK too, so you just doubled your studies!
Thanks for dropping by, mate! Will have to do a cross over vid in the future
@@AussieEnglishPodcast Anytime! I'm ready when you are!
Prince Andrew is in a sticky situation. I’m from the USA and am a native speaker but I love Australia and Australian English.
Omg..m so happy that I found your channel. You explain everything beautifully and those extra examples... I hope I won't get in a sticky situation now 😆
Hi Pete
Thanx for your lesson it's been really useful.
I have a question
Doesn't Wild Goose chase mean the same as chasing the rainbow?
Yeah, although, you can often succeed with a wild goose chase. It just requires a lot of effort, time, and energy. Chasing rainbows is more like attempting something you'll never achieve.
"Sleight of hand and twist of fate, on a bed of nails she makes me wait, and I wait without you..." (cit. U2)
A great example, this.
I went on a wild goose chase to Australia trying to get my 189 skilled visa.
A Wild Goose Chase
My colleague asked me for a wild goose chase verifying all the records from the past ten years in a single day!
There is even a skill “sleight of hands” in Pathfinder ttrpg
I find a new expression in the video - get on like a house is on fire. which means they like each other very much and become friends very quickly. it's kinda same meaning with as thick as thieves.
The captain KNEW not new.
Hello Pete, it appears you have coined a "knew" use of new in your previous example. Is it a broad, or cutivated use of the word in a "sticky situation".

I am interested learning Australia English language how can I do please suggest me
I'd have thought most of these are used in other English-speaking countries too, except maybe thick as thieves?
I tip over in front of my crush and I'm in 'sticky situation'. Is that correct? HAHA hope so. I love your lessons Pete. I've always wanted to speak Aussie English fluently you know, just in case I meet Cate Blanchett huhu.
everytime that im taking phone calls im always in sticky situation of my customer concern 😁
Hey, mate. I’m curious about one thing. Is there a native English accent with rhotic r and true t i.e. which pronounces the word water with both 'true t' and 'rhotic r'?
Obviously, I couldn't find one but have seen some people do this, which is possibly an influence of American and British or sth like that. Would you happen to know if there was such an accent?
😶 was the spelling of word new right? Isn't it knew? (@ 11:10)
Sticky situation=enrascada, cilada.
I really found myself in a sticky situation when I forgot to get a present for my girlfriend's birthday and all the shops were closed, just one hour away from the time I was supposed to pick her up and go celebrate
Good example, mate!
It was a bloody sticky situation!
People here in BR use to refer to someone who talks a lot as "ele/ela fala mais que o homem da cobra" and my grandma used to tell there was in fact a man selling snakes products at a public market when she was a child... Now I am wondering if in fact "the snake oil man" came here to sell his "products". 🤣🤣🤣

You mean Aussie expressions not English ones :p
Do Aussies use ain't?
Generally no. But if we're being silly or impersonating an American accent, we might.
And a snake oil salesman never heard of this before you are using language that's back in the ancient time we don't use talk language like this or like that it's we will call a person like this like that a con artist someone who is manipulating trying to get you to believe something that isn't true or sell you something that isn't what it is that's a con artist not snake of something
Slight of hands what is this this is funny what the world wow where did you get these acknowledges from if this was to happen or happened we would just call him a pickpocket for a trickster or whatever but not what you saying I don't even know what you're saying
