In today’s lesson you’ll learn how to respond to good news or bad news that someone may tell you. These responses include questions, which prompt the person telling you the news to explain what happened. They include: Are you kidding? Are you joking? Are you serious? As well as the following expressions, which simply convey that you are impressed or shocked by the news. They include: No way! Far out! Fair dinkum! / Fair dinkum? (Can be a statement or a question) Strewth!

Today we're "gonna" go over the pronunciation of "going + to" and when it's more natural to say "gonna" or "goin' de". After that I'm "gonna" talk about the expression to be "as mad as a cut snake".

In this episode I explain the expression “What gives?”. “What gives” is often used as a way of asking for an explanation or a reason that something happened, etc.

In this mini pronunciation episode I show you how “Got you” is often said as “Gotchu” or “Gotcha” and that it means you understand what someone has said. You got me??

In this episode I play things by ear when explaining the expression “To Play By Ear” which means to wing something, to improvise, to make it up as you go along, etc.

In this mini episode I explain the expression “Far Out” which is often used as a way of expression surprise or that you are impressed by something

In this episode I discuss the pronunciation of the verb "to give" + the pronouns "me", "us", "them", "you", "him" and "her" and how they change when we speak quickly. Give + me = gimme Give + us = givus Give + them = givem Give + you = givya Give + him = givim Give + her = giver Example sentences: Can you gimme a minute? I’m not ready. I’m parched, can you givus another beer? They’ll finish the work if you givem some more time. I’ll givya twenty minutes to get ready. If he’s still hungry then givim some more food. We’ll giver a fair price for the car. Note: remember we never write "givem" or "givim" etc, I'm just doing that here for the sake of teaching you the pronunciation.
