Having recorded material for Aussie English since 2015, Pete believes he\u2019s the only podcaster with a strong focus on Australia.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve (foreigners) prepared overseas to learn British English and American English, and when they get here, they don\u2019t know that the accent is so incredibly different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very hard for them to turn somewhere to learn that. My avatar tends to be someone who\u2019s highly educated at university and looking for jobs in commercial industries and academia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re very concerned about progressing their careers, but they also really want to immerse themselves in Australian culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31085\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31085\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Pete-Smissen-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Pete-Smissen-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Pete-Smissen-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Pete-Smissen-2-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31085\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pete Smissen has recorded over 600 episodes of Aussie English since its inception in 2015.

With the podcast, I was getting feedback, emails, comments and words of encouragement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou also hear about these stories of people selling everything they have to come over to Australia. They often have no support network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was getting emails from this one guy who said he was at his wits\u2019 end after being knocked back at an interview because his English wasn\u2019t good enough to continue. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was gut-wrenching, but it\u2019s what motivates me to want to keep going and help people overcome barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about Aussie English, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/aussieenglish.com.au\">aussieenglish.com.au<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not many people would be game enough to sink their teeth into a secondary project while tackling a PhD, but Ocean Grove\u2019s Pete Smissen is living proof that creativity has no bounds.
