    Description

    Learn Australian English in this latest episode of the Aussie English podcast!

    In this special interview episode, I got my mum Jo Smissen to talk about how our family descends from European royalty!

    With passion for doing research, she went all over the Web in an attempt to trace our family's ancestry.

    She was able to go back to the 1700s, finding out that we had family members who we part of the 12 known companions of William the Conqueror in The Battle of Hastings!
