In reply to Raf.

Hi Raf,

Many thanks for your comment and your kind words. I agree that it is often hard to understand the local people in their everyday speech. Australians in particular are known for talking a bit too fast and they often don’t sound out their words very clearly. I think that it’s because we are a bit lazy as far as language is concerned. But the best way to improve your English is to visit and immerse yourself in the language. So your visit to Australia was a great thing to do. Keep going with your English. You are doing really well.
Have a great day.
Rob

Hello Rob, congratulations for podcasts that I delight in your talk that slow can understand almost everything. I am a person who likes to learn languages, but the English language has always been my favorite, I say it because it is so and not to make a harping. When I came to Australia in 2010 ,the fact to know about 3000 words stored in memory from when I was a student, helped me a lot, even though talking to the people of Sydney was hard to understand them for street slang. However, it is normal to be so, that in the world when you are not mother tongue.
Thanks again for your lessons and good days in your beautiful Melbourne. Raf
