Welcome to The Aussie English Podcast, the number one podcast for anyone and everyone wanting to learn Australian English, whether you want to understand what the flippin’ hell Aussies are saying, or whether you just want to speak like an Aussie, using our slang or accents, the Aussie English Podcast is the podcast for you.

Anyway, guys, today is another interview episode, and today I have the pleasure of interviewing Oliver Gee a fellow Australian who lives in Europe. So, Oli moved over to Europe a few years back. He first went to Sweden, he learnt Swedish, and then he has since moved to France, and is currently undergoing the difficult and arduous process of learning French, and he is the founder and host of the podcast The Earful Tower. So, you’ll find out why it’s called the Earful Tower shortly. But enjoy today’s interview, guys. We chat about Europe, we chat about learning foreign languages, we have a bit of a yarn about accents, and what it’s like for an Aussie to live in Europe. Anyway guys, make sure you check out Oli’s podcast. The links will be in the description or in the transcript for this episode, and they’ll also be mentioned at the end.

Well the clue is in the name, right? So, the Earful Tower is my attempt at being clever and a play-on-wordsy kind of thing, because like you said, I’m in Paris, where there’s the Eiffel Tower, but obviously a podcast is audio. So, we switched to the Earful Tower. You think you’re being clever, a lot of people don’t get it. And you spend a lot of time explaining, but the people who get it, you figure it’s a pretty good sort of example to show. It’s a fun look at life in Paris, a little bit different. You know, not just the Eiffel Tower, it’s like talking to people,
