Welcome to this episode of Aussie English. How ya going? What’s been going on? I hope you guys have been going well and enjoying your week. It’s a Wednesday, and I think I’m going to try and release interview episodes each and every Wednesday. So, today’s episode is with Christian from Canguro English. If you don’t know Canguro English, definitely do a search for it on YouTube. The links will be below, but it’s C-A-N-G-U-R-O English. So, Canguro there I think is spelt the Spanish way. But, Christian is an absolutely amazing online teacher. He has his own academy in Spain, in Galicia, I believe. And we have a really good chat today about him, where he was born in Australia, what happened when he moved to Europe, he moved to Spain, and we also get into the nitty-gritty of teaching English as well as learning English. And there’s some really good stuff in there on confidence and how to speak more confidently. So, I know that you guys are going to get a lot out of this interview. Sit back, grab some food, grab a drink, grab a cuppa, get some tea, get some coffee, and enjoy today’s interview, guys. Let’s go! Australia raven, Corvus coronoides, calling. The Interview: Pete: All right. Christian, thank you for joining me, man. Christian from Canguro English. Welcome to the Aussie English Podcast. Christian: Hello. It’s a pleasure to be here. Thank you very much for inviting me. I appreciate it. Pete: No, no, no. I’ve been dying to get you on for a while. I guess, let’s just start from the start. Tell me about you and just tell me your story. Give me the story in a nutshell. I think it’s going to be a good ride. Christian:If only my wife thought so. OK. The story. OK. So, I was I was born in Perth in Australia, and when I was 20 years old I met this English girl who was backpacking in Australia, and she had a one year visa, and when that visa expired she had to leave Australia and go back to England. And so, I had to make a decision. I had to make a decision to either stay in Australia and say goodbye to her or go with her. So, for the first time in my life I packed a suitcase and left and went to England. And, you know, for me, you know, coming from Perth, which at that time was quite a small, you know, small sort of city, and then arriving in London was a big shock. And I remember the first morning after I arrived, I opened the windows, because I arrived at night, and in the morning, open the windows and I turned to my girlfriend, and I said to her, “What’s that grey thing in the sky? What is all that?”. She said, “That’s clouds, Christian, clouds.”. But, because all of my life I had only ever seen white fluffy clouds.
