Description

Hey, you mob!

Here is another English expression to add to your growing list of vocabulary!

In this episode, I will teach you about the English expression "like a fish out of water"!

Maybe you've seen a fish pulled out of the water. It wriggles and flops around, right? How do you think the fish "feels"? That is our lesson for today!

Also, I will be answering a question from @rurrochman -- "How often do spiders actually come out [in Australia]?" -- hmm, very interesting, considering how much bad press these Australian spiders get, especially on the Internet.

Listen to a story about an Aussie angler who caught the SAME flathead fish 3 times in a row! The fish just loves getting hooked, doesn't it?

And because you've been asking me to talk about Australian TV shows, let me introduce you to Seachange!

I get very nostalgic seeing this TV series because it was filmed where I grew up. This is a great resource for you guys if you want to learn more about Australian culture, slang, and expressions.

Did you watch till the end? How would you answer the last question? Let me know in the comments!
