BONUS: [Unscripted Conversations in English] The Expectation vs Reality of Living Abroad with Angela Blanco

English With An Aussie: Mastering English & The Wonders of Australia

You're listening to English with an Aussie, the #1 podcast spoken entirely in slow English.
Welcome everybody! My name is Adriana, and exprienced English teacher from Down Under. I have created this podcast for international students, professionals and intermediate ESL speakers who are planning their new lives in Australia. Each episode I will share an interesting aspect of the Australian culture. In addition to this, you will find many grammatical lessons to help you start speaking like a native in no time!
[Today's conversation will be the first of many unscripted episodes where you will get the chance to listen to real people having real life conversations in English].
In today’s episode, you’ll get to hang out with my new friend Angela Blanco, owner of Fluency Lab, who dialled in from the UK. As some of you might know, I moved to Italy 2 years ago. Together, Angela and I discussed the expectation vs the reality of living abroad. Angela and I first spoke about learning a second language (hers being English and mine being Italian), then we broke down some stereotypes and what moving overseas is really like. Stay tuned until the end, where we shared our favourite parts about our respective countries.
