Today, I am chatting to my friend Lorena from Go Study Australia about why Australia is such a good destination for studying. Whether it’s English, at university, some kind of course, Australia is a great destination to come. Let’s have a look. So if we just imagine me now being someone who’s living in Spain, Italy, France, or South America and I’m really really keen to learn English abroad, Why would you suggest Australia? so Australia has a lot of good things compared to other English speaking countries. One of the best things is the work opportunities. Other English speaking countries don’t have as many opportunities in terms of jobs. So for example student visas for U.S. don’t come with working rights . So that’s where you go, you study but you can’t work. Canada has… I’m not really sure but there’s a limit, so there’s… I think up to the first six months you can’t work and Australia is one of the only countries that lets students actually be able to work part time while they’re doing their studies. Another great thing about Australia obviously is that because it’s so far away from everything else there’s not a lot of people from your own nationality… For now, for now right? And that’s good because when you’re looking for a school or a place to learn English you don’t want to find yourself in a situation where you’re surrounded by your own nationality and your own language. That’s the only way that you can really make forward with language. Alright, guys. Well I hope enjoyed that little interview with Lorena from Go Study Australia if you are thinking about studying English in Australia or if you are already here doing it. Those guys are a free service and they will help you with things like finding a job, finding an English school, finding somewhere to live, all of that sort of stuff. So, check out Go Study Australia. Before we finish up though, I want to go through several other reasons why Australia is such a bad arse country when it comes to studying as an overseas student. So, check this out. We have a strong economy in Australia. Some of you may know this as it is relatively expensive to live here, but the living is pretty good. Enjoying Aussie English?

When I was just a mere waiter whilst studying at university, I was a waiter and I was paid $25 Australian dollars an hour. So, I think anywhere between $19 and $20 something, $24, $25 dollars an hour is going to be pretty good and you’re likely to find that kind of job if you do a bit of hunting.
