Need to know expressions for life in New Zealand

Not sure what Kiwis are talking about when you hear expressions like “far out” or “good onion”? (Wait, is it good onion…? Or are they saying something else?!) Let me help you in today’s video where I introduce three expressions that Kiwis use all the time!

When you’re learning English, it’s important to learn informal words and expressions…not just the stuff you find in textbooks. That can be difficult, but I’m here to help you! Join me for the first in a series of videos where we look at a bunch of words and expressions for life in New Zealand.
