Description

G'day, you mob!

Here's a new English expression to broaden your vocabulary!

In this episode, I will teach you about the English expression "a wild goose chase".

Discover its origins -- a very famous playwright first wrote it!

You will also hear a cute love story about a Canadian goose named Arnold.

We will go through a short pronunciation exercise as well.

Finally, for the listening skills exercise, try to write down what the dialog is in this short clip from Wolf Creek 2.

Thanks for your time, and I'll see you in the next episode!
