We investigate “word aversion” and our host Ivan ends up with a bad case of hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, a 35-letter word meaning fear of long words. Our guest Deng Adut was a child soldier in Sudan. After arriving in Australia as a teenage refugee, he learned English by singing along with The Wiggles, reading the bible and working at a petrol station. He sees English as a 'vampire language', sucking words from other languages like Latin, Italian, Spanish and German. It’s holy mayhem as language teacher Ai-Lin Bhugun encourages them to unpack the bonkers world of idioms and Australian slang. There are over 25,000 English idioms!

Beschreibung

Let’s face it, learning English is a nightmare. Time to take revenge. Bad English is like an audio support group for anyone who’s ever had to learn English, chaired by comedian Ivan Aristeguieta. Ivan and guests poke fun at the infuriating absurdity of learning the world’s most-studied language – unpacking rules and nuances that make learning English a misery for millions around the world, and leave even Anglophones scratching their heads.
