EP 94 Drier Than A Dead Dingo's Donger

Australians Teach English

In this episode we explain a classic Australian expression about being thirsty. For much of my time in hospital I was not allowed to drink and unable to talk, so how was it that we can still communicate with fundamental components of language missing? We discuss plosives and how they are made, and why they can pose some challenges. We explore why non-verbal communication is so important and how we might actually use this in our daily lives without realising. And of course, we speak about what the dingo is most famous for in Australia.
