G’day, you mob! Welcome back to another awesome episode on the Aussie English podcast. I’ve got some great stuff to share with you today, including learning about the expression “waste not, want not”.

First off, let me give you a little update on what’s happening in my life. So, guess what? My adorable son has been pleading with me to get a new kitten to befriend our lovely cat, Peaches. 🐾 Isn’t that just the cutest idea ever? I’m sure they’ll become the best of pals in no time. I’ll keep you posted on how that adventure unfolds!

Now, let’s dive into a fantastic question we received from our Instagram buddy, Frederico. He asked, “How can I politely ask people about their jobs?” Well, Frederico, that’s a great question! Asking about someone’s profession is a wonderful way to show interest in their life. You can simply say, “What do you do for a living?” or “What’s your job?” People love talking about their careers, so you’ll surely get some interesting conversations going!

Next up, we explore a cool expression today: “waste not want not.” This saying means that if you use resources carefully, you’ll never be in need. In other words, it’s all about being mindful and not wasting things that could come in handy later.

Listen in for some examples of how to use this expression, too! Imagine you have some leftover food; instead of throwing it away, you can store it and enjoy it later. That’s “waste not want not” in action! Or maybe you have some old clothes you don’t wear anymore. Donating them to someone who needs them is a perfect example of using resources carefully.

Now, let’s practice the pronunciation of these words together: “waste not want not.” Repeat after me a few times to get the hang of it!

And finally, for a fun listening exercise, we’ve got a clip from the new iview TV show Gold Diggers. It’s a delightful way to immerse yourself in Australian English and boost your listening skills – listen carefully to the intonation! Enjoy the clip and see how many words and phrases you can catch!
