In this episode we talk about the upcoming Ashes series and Australia's rivalry with the poms. This might as well be another language for a lot of listeners, but we can assure you, to people in Australia and England it is deadly serious. Of course we are talking about sport. And one sport dominates Australia in summer - cricket. So, we have Prash back by popular demand to help explain this strange addiction that captivates more people on the planet than any other sport (except for one). We talk about the history of cricket, why this series means so much to world sport and many more oddities that will appear strange to anyone who hasn't grown up with cricket. But this episode is not just limited to cricket. We get a chance to talk to Prash about his language learning journey. His reflection on how colonialism has impacted on his life, and the lives of his peers. He also reflects on how others are now connecting with identity and place through language, as he has a perspective of being outside his country of birth for a substantial period of time. He also talks about his reflections on international exams which many students will find insightful and helpful for their own life journeys in the future. Enjoy this episode that is chock a block full of cultural information and essential listening for anyone wanting to learn about Aussie culture. And of course, come on Aussie come on come on!
