show moreTaking the piss is a national Australian pastime. It speaks to the natural informality of Australian English. We do it to ourselves, and anyone with or displaying any authority, This has both advantages and disadvantages for learners of Australian English, and Australians looking to learn other languages. In this episode, we talk to Reka, a resident of Japan and learner of Japanese. What better way to talk about formal and informal language and its intracies through the eyes of an Australian in this position? We talk about the required mindset of learning languages when the level of formality is different between languages. Do you know of any equivalent expressions or activities in your language? We'd love to hear it.
