Transcript Snapshot (Driving in Australia vs Europe)

Hey guys! You’re listening to the English Made Simple Show! This is episode number 318, number three hundred and eighteen, numero trescientos dieciocho.

You’re tuning in to the English Made Simple Show, and I’m your host, Milena. Welcome back amigos!

Welcome back to the show. Today, we’re going to compare driving in Australia versus driving in Europe or the US. Get ready for some funny anecdotes and useful English phrases!

And don’t forget to visit my website, englishmadesimplen.net. You can learn more about the EMS show and what it’s all about by visiting the englishmadesimple.net website. If you want to listen to the podcast directly from the website, simply type in englishmadesimple.net/podcast into your browser and start listening.

Listening to this show is easy peasy.

Easy peasy japanes-ey as I always say.

Imagine all your life you drive on the right side of the road, and then you move to Australia.

Ayaya! You need to re-learn how to drive. Learn all the new rules to follow.

Before we dive into today’s show, I’d like to send a greeting to a special listener who recently reached out to me on Instagram.

I’m sending a heartfelt shout-out to one of our amazing listeners, Maria. Maria is a talented concert pianist and piano teacher. She’s been listening to the show all the way from Germany. She always wanted to learn English but oftentimes felt afraid and uncertain at speaking and writing in English. I’m sure like many of us, Maria has also tried using language apps on her phone to help with vocabulary. But we know these apps don’t help much with speaking or listening. I believe Podcasts are one of the best ways to help with English listening.
Now, she listens to the EMS podcast every day and finds it helps her learn in a focused and entertaining way.

Thank you for listening to the EMS show Maria. I’m sure the following episode will be useful for you today.

Ok amigos y amigas, let me start off by asking you a question:

Have you ever driven a car in a foreign country? It can be quite an adventure, especially if you’re not used to their driving rules and road signs.

So, amigos y amigas, just imagine this: I’ve learned how to drive on this side of the world – in New Zealand and Australia. I got my driver’s license in New Zealand, but that was easy to transfer over to the Australian one. We drive on the left side of the road here – in New Zealand and Australia. Yes, the left side.

For those of you from Europe or the US, that might sound a bit strange.

If you’ve listened to my last episode, you would know that I visited New Zealand recently. I also rented an electric vehicle, a hybrid Toyota Corolla. You heard me talk about how I struggled to drive this Electric car because it was all automatic. I’m used to driving manual transmission petrol cars, where you have to change gears yourself using a clutch pedal. But these modern cars were a whole new experience!

So today’s episode is still related to driving cars. But I’ll focus mostly on road rules here in Australia and New Zealand then compare the driving to the US and the rest of the world.

First off, let’s talk about driving in Australia and New Zealand.
