1
G'day everyone and welcome back to Learn Australian English, the podcast where you learn real English through real Australian life.
2
That's right.
3
I'm Liz.
4
And I'm Jack.
5
And today's topic is one of the most Australian thing you can possibly talk about.
6
Honestly, if you asked people to describe Australia in one activity, this would be near the top.
7
We're talking about Australian barbecues.
8
Or, as Australians almost always say...
9
Barbies.
10
Now if you're learning English, this is important.
11
When Australians say Barbie, they mean barbecue.
12
Not the toy.
13
No dolls involved.
14
And you'll hear this word everywhere.
15
We're having a Barbie.
16
Chuck it on the Barbie.
17
Bring something for the Barbie.
18
Australians love shortening words.
19
It makes English sound faster and more casual.
20
So don't be confused.
21
Barbie equals barbecue.
22
people don't always realise is that there are different types of Barbies in Australia.
23
Yeah, not all Barbies are the same.
24
You've got the backyard Barbie.
25
That's the classic one.
26
Someone's house, some chairs, maybe a dog running around.
27
Then there's the park barbie.
28
Very Australian.
29
Public park, free barbecue, kids playing nearby, usually at the playground.
30
And of course, the beach barbie.
31
Which sounds relaxing, until the wind blows sand onto the sausages.
32
Still worth it though.
33
Let's look at how Australians actually invite people to a barbie.
34
You might hear something like, we're having a barbie on Saturday if you're keen.
35
Keen means interested.
36
Or, swing by around lunchtime.
37
That means come over.
38
Very casual language, very friendly.
39
Alright, let's go deeper into food, because food is serious business.
40
The most important item, sausages, snags.
41
Usually, beef sausages, sometimes chicken.
42
And vegetarians will usually hear, oh yeah, we've got something for you too.
43
Sometimes that's true.
44
Sometimes it's just corn cobs.
45
You'll also see burgers, beef or chicken, with simple toppings.
46
Nothing fancy.
47
Lettuce, tomato, maybe cheese and some fried onions.
48
And sauces are very important.
49
Tomato sauce is king.
50
Barbecue sauce is second.
51
If you bring fancy sauce, people will politely judge you.
52
One interesting thing about Barbies is how people act.
53
Everyone stands around talking, but no one really sits down properly.
54
You'll often eat standing up.
55
Holding a plate in one hand.
56
Drink in the other.
57
Trying not to drop food.
58
It's a skill.
59
Let's talk about the barbecue chef.
60
Ah yes, the person with the tongs.
61
Once someone has the tongs, they are in charge.
62
They flip the sausages.
63
They decide when food is ready.
64
And they will usually say things like, yeah, just another minute.
65
That minute can last ten minutes.
66
At an Aussie barbie, the conversation topics are very predictable.
67
The weather.
68
work, sport, housing prices, and travel.
69
If you want to practice English, these topics will come up again and again.
70
Australians also use a lot of humour at Barbies.
71
Especially teasing.
72
If someone burns the food, people will joke about it.
73
But it's friendly, not mean.
74
If Australians tease you, it usually means they like you.
75
Let's go through a few unspoken rules again.
76
Rule 1.
77
Bring something.
78
Even just drinks or snacks or beer.
79
Rule 2.
80
Don't be too formal.
81
Relax. Be yourself.
82
Rule 3.
83
Help clean up or at least ask.
84
That goes a long way.
85
Barbies are actually one of the best places to practice English.
86
People speak naturally.
87
They use everyday expressions.
88
And they repeat themselves without realising.
89
Plus, everyone is relaxed, no pressure.
90
Quick vocabulary review before we finish.
91
Barbie and barbecue.
92
Snag, sausage.
93
BYO.
94
Bring your own.
95
Chuck it on.
96
Put it on.
97
Fire up, start cooking!
98
Alright, that's it for today's episode on Australian barbecues.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
