In 1948, Don Bradman strode to the crease to play the last of his 80 test match innings. Then a special cheer on the field.  He needed just 4 to finish with a career average of 100. Incredibly, the greatest batsman of all time finished with a duck. **** G’day, you mob. How’s it going? Welcome to this episode of The Aussie English Podcast. This is the number one podcast for anyone and everyone wanting to learn Australian English. So, it is specifically for people keen on, interested in, passionate about Australian English, but if you’re learning American English, if you’re learning British English, it doesn’t really matter, guys, it’s all the same language, a slightly different accent, sometimes I might also use slang that is specific to Australia, but other than that the tips, the tricks, the language you can learn in this podcast, for the most part, is going to be useful anywhere in the world. Okay? So, the Aussie English Podcast, guys, is brought to you by TheAussieEnglishClassroom.com. This is the online learning environment, guys, where I upload all the bonus content in the form of short courses.
