G'day guys.
Welcome to this episode of Aussie English.
I've got a bit of a special episode for you guys today, where we're going to listen to
an interview that I did this morning.
Recently, Lorena from Go Study contacted me, and go study is a wonderful company in Australia
that represents people typically coming from European countries like France, Spain, Italy,
etc. and wanting to come to Australia, they're wanting to come here as students, and Go Study
is a free service where these guys act as student counsellors.
So, whether you want help working out where to live, how to get a job, which school to
pick, these guys have connections with over 500 schools in Australia, Lorena was telling
me today.
If you need advice on how to make a résumé, how to find and meet other people learning
English or other Australians, how to file a tax return, all of this kind of information,
if you've signed up to become a student already and you're planning on studying in Australia,
Go Study Australia is a free service, it's 100 percent free for you guys to get assistance
if you need help with anything, if you have any kind of worries.
Lorena herself was from Spain.
She had a French colleague in there, two other Italian colleagues, and I believe another
Spanish speaking colleague as well working in Melbourne.
These guys are found all over Australia, in Sydney, in Brisbane in Perth, and Melbourne,
and they're also found in Europe.
So, whether you're in Australia currently studying somewhere and you need assistance
or some kind of help or just a student adviser, you know, you want advice with regards to
any of these things in English or in your native language Italian, Spanish, or French,
Go Study Australia is for you.
And if you're over in Europe at the moment hoping to come to Australia contacting these
guys is definitely the way to go, because again it's 100 percent free.
So, anyway, Lorena sent me an email, and in the spirit of full disclosure to guys she
told me everything about Go Study Australia, what they're passionate about, which is helping
people from Europe come to Australia to get settled, and to help them live their dream
in Australia while they're studying here or potentially to move and eventually live here
permanently.
But she told me that the schools are the ones that fund Go Study Australia.
Right?
So, you guys sign up to study.
You have to pay your fees to the school, and the school hires services like Go Study Australia
to obviously take care of its students, to help with all of the other things outside
of the schools as well as the schools themselves.
And so, they have a program set up where they get ambassadors on board to be a part of this
program, which is something that Lorena has asked me to become a part of.
And for every student that signs up that says, "Hey, I heard about you through Aussie English
and I'm coming because of Aussie English."
I'll get 100 dollars.
So, I'm just telling you that in the spirit of full disclosure.
If you guys want to come to Australia or if you're already in Australia and you want a
really good service that is 100 percent free for you guys, I really recommend Go Study
Australia.
I went down there today to hang out with her and her team, and I also interviewed her so
that she could give you guys the information first hand.
So, you can hear it from the horse's mouth, straight from the horse's mouth.
And yeah, if you want to give a little bit of support to Aussie English and you're looking
for some kind of assistance while studying Down Under signing up to be a part of Go Study
Australia and letting them know that you came from being suggested by Aussie English will
send a hundred dollars my way to help me keep doing what I'm doing.
And to put a little bit of icing on the cake, guys, I'm going to offer anyone who ends up
signing up with Go Study Australia a half an hour free lesson with me via Skype.
So, all you have to do is obviously sign up through Go Study Australia send me an email
at TheAussieEnglishpodcast(at)gmail.dot com, and then we'll set up a time to do a free
lesson where we can talk about anything related to your English, your pronunciation, about
coming to Australia, maybe you just want to chat to me in general, but you'll get a free
half an hour lesson with me as well.
Anyway, let's get into today's episode, guys.
There's so much great information in here.
Lorena tells us all about what to expect when moving to Australia.
She gives us tips on how to learn English faster and what the best thing for students
is to do with regards to finding a job, finding somewhere to live, all of this really good
staff.
And yeah, let's get into it.
Alright guys.
Welcome to this episode of Aussie English.
I am down to go study Australia with Lorena.
Thank you for inviting me down.
Yeah, no worries.
Thanks for having me.
So, she sent me an e-mail recently, told me about what they did.
And I thought it would be the best opportunity to come down, interview her, find out a bit
about her, what her experiences have been in Australia, and give you guys obviously
the down low.
A little bit of information.
Yeah, so, here at Go Study Australia we we're a student agency.
So, what we do is students who have just arrived to Australia to sort of settle in.
We sort of do a couple stages, right.
So, we help students who have just arrived in Australia and just landed, opened their
TFNs (Tax File Numbers), activate their health insurances, and do a little bit of the first
steps in Australia, right?
And then we help throughout the entire process while they're here.
That's basically what we do.
We open our doors to any students, you know, that they need a little bit of help and a
little bit of guidance throughout their Aussie experience.
So, what are the biggest issues they sort of come in in contact with?
When they when they come here they tend to sort of need specific help with straight off
the bat?
I guess, the main thing would be looking for jobs and having some of their first experience
in Australia.
What they first want to do is, you know, come here and try to find a job super super quick.
So, that's sort of the main thing that we help.
And we actually do job sessions with students, and we help them review their CV (curriculum
vitae), and do everything that they need in order to get you going.
The other thing is English, obviously, and that's sort of where you come in.
(We) try to.
I try to.
To try to teach students and give them a little bit of insight.
One of the one of the things that students actually tell us all the time is, "Oh, the
Australian accent, you know.
It's so different from what we learn in Spain or what we learn in Italy."
The accent or certain terminology, you guys tend to abbreviate everything.
Right, that's sort of, you know.
We can't make it too easy for you.
And most of the students are studying English here anyway.
So they sort of get that extra push from the school.
But it's good to have a little bit of extra tips of, you know, what things mean here in
Australia.
So, if they ever hit you up with specific questions with regards to like the accent
or specific words you hear again and again and again.
Well, one thing that a lot of students are baffled by is "ta".
People just land here, and you've always been sort of told that, you know, "Thank you" is
what people say, or "Thanks" is the maximum, but people then start hearing "Ta".
And people come here and they're like, "What?
Lorena, what is "Ta"?
Why are people telling me "Ta" all the time?"
Yeah, that's sort of the main one.
That's so funny, because that was one of those ones where I didn't even think about it until
I had someone asking me.
And I only... now I notice it everywhere.
Every time I go...
I'm working at the restaurant as a waiter.
I take anything at any table, and instantly I know someone's Australian if they're like,
"Oh, ta!".
Yeah.
I didn't notice.
I mean, I grew up learning, you know, English, and I've always sort of had...
I have no problem, you know, with understanding English.
And I didn't notice it until my partner said, "Oh, I learned to be in school that "Ta" means,
"Thank you"."
And then I started hearing it everywhere.
It's like, "What do you mean...?".
And now everybody is like "Ta".
And we also use it with kids.
We'll say, "Ah, ta, ta!", as in, like, "Give me it", "Ta", like, "Hand it over.
Yeah, so it's very... you've got to learn it from very little yeah.
I think it probably comes from that where it's a lot easier to say even "Thank you"
as a small child.
So, we just learnt "Ta".
Well, you guys like to abbreviate everything.
I think that's what I've learned about my experience here in Australia.
So, how long did that take to get your head around?
All of the abbreviations, the slang, I don't know...
Well, the funny thing, because actually, you know, when you come to Australia you start
sort of researching, and I was working in your study in the Madrid office for three
years, so I sort of had my head around, you know, Australian culture and everything, and
every once in a while, you get videos on YouTube and stuff like that of how Australian people
see this thing, right?
All those accent comparison ones.
Exactly.
So, it's nice, you know, like, you start, sort of, you know about what they are.
But when you come here you truly start...
So, was it a shock for you?
And do you find that other students have... like, I've heard that from people who had
no exposure to the Australian accent before getting here.
But for someone who did have somewhat of a previous exposure, was it still a shock when
you got and surrounded by it.
Well, not so much as a shock, right.
I think it's more of, "Oh that's true.
They actually do it."
Right?
So, they actually are as weird as they appear.
So, a lot of times you think, oh, you know, when you think about stereotypes of any nationality,
"Oh Spanish do this" or "Italian people do this", then sometimes it's an exaggeration.
So, you assume that Australians, you know, the portrayal of Australians is an exaggeration,
but then it's not.
People are, like, actually talking like that.
So, what were some examples?
Did you have anywhere you go and you're like, "Oh my gosh!
Crocodile Dundee is in every other store."
"It's there."
I think the word "Arvo" is something that I thought people just said it online that,
"Oh yeah the Australians say "arvo" all the time", and then when you come.
As a joke?
Yeah.
And then you come here and they're like, "Oh, I'll see you this arvo!".
What do you mean?
What's "arvo"?
Are you saying that ironically?
Are you making fun of me?
But I think that a lot of students come here with the expectation that it's going to be
a little bit tough at the beginning.
But then when they come here they're like, "Oh actually, Aussie English…"
That's what I've found, like, it's not... it doesn't take too long for them to get used
to it.
They have that sort of fear of, "Oh, I've only ever watched, you know, British TV or
American TV, and what am I going to do?".
And then I get here and you're like, "Look, it's kind of hard, but you'll get it within
like a month or two."
Yeah, I mean after a while you sort of pick up on it.
And once you've heard "Arvo" one time, maybe you get weirded out the first time, right?
You're like, "Oh, arvo!?".
But then you know what it is.
So people just keep on, you know, using it.
So...
So, how long have you been learning English then?
'Cause you obviously, you know, reached a very very high level.
So, actually I've...
I cheated, right?
So, I have learnt English when I was very little.
I grew up in Italy, in Rome, and then I went to an American school there and then I did
my bachelor degree in the US in a small town called Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in Pennsylvania.
Very tiny.
And then, I've been here in Australia for two years.
I wish I could pick up the Australian accent, which I love.
I think it's so much fun.
Why is that the case?
Why would you like to speak like us?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It sounds, you know, like funky and...
I think of all of the English accents, (the) Australian accent is my favourite one.
It seems to either be the favourite or the most hated.
I know.
But the American...
I'll apologise for American accent.
I shouldn't say that, but I do not like my American accent.
I guess it's just inevitable.
So, did you pick that up at school or did you pick that up once you got to America?
I think it's just, you know, I've learned English since very little, and it's always
been very intentional, because it wasn't... you know, I didn't learn English in America,
right?
I learned English in a small school, in a small international school surrounded by Italian
people, Spanish people, French.
So, it was very international.
So, we also had sort of a neutral sort of accent so to speak.
But then, all of the shows that you see are American.
And then, obviously, I did my bachelor's degree for four years in the US.
So, I think, I guess it just sort of sticks to you.
I always found that aspect to that weird.
Like, I watch so much American TV and films that it's almost stranger when you see an
Australian on one of these things.
They stick out like a sore thumb.
You're just like, "Ohhhh".
I remember watching Lost and that blonde girl appearing on it, and you just being like,
"oh what's that accent!?", and then you realise she's Australian.
Oh, that's my accent.
And it's funny how goes both ways where we understand everything...
I can even tell you, you know, you'll hear accents and you'll be like "Oh they're from
south (of America) or they're from, you know, New York or, oh they're from California.",
and yet Americans will hear our accent and be like, "We didn't understand any of that.",
'cause they just get no exposure.
Yeah.
Yeah true.
And it's weird with accents, yeah?
So, I guess you see that a lot.
People pick up different accents.
My partner has been studying English here in Australia, and when he came he didn't have
a lot of English.
And now he's picked up words, you know, and say things in Australian, which... it's weird
to me, sometimes.
You know, a Spanish accent with Australian.
I love that mix though.
That's really good.
But bringing it back to Go Study.
So, what would you recommend for people who are wanting to come to Australia, how can
we make that transition as effortless as possible?
Yeah, well, we always recommend students to feel free to always ask for help.
Our doors are always open.
We have offices here in Melbourne.
We have offices Sydney, and Brisbane, and in Perth, as well, obviously, in Spain, Italy,
and France.
And what I would recommend is, you know, just ask for help whenever you need it.
Sometimes it's hard when you come in to a new culture or a new country and you're by
yourself, and sometimes having a little niche of your own home is nice to have.
And so, we always recommend, you know, if you're in need just to come here and get some
help.
We do offer all kinds of help with jobs, with CVs, with their experience here.
We also do a lot of events.
So, we gather of people, and it's also good for them to sort of mingle with other cultures
and especially with other English-speaking people to practice.
That's the difficult part, the experience in Australia.
A lot of students come and they're sort of going to school, surrounded by international
people, inevitably, as soon as you hear your own language it's easy to sort of, you know,
stick to that.
What we push students to do is get out of their comfort zone, and meet people don't
speak your same language.
That's the only way that you're really going to get... and I'm sure you've seen it.
A lot of people maybe might know how to read it, how to write it, they might listen (to)
it super well, but then in the moment that comes to speaking it's the part where they
struggle the most.
I think it's like a muscle.
Any time you practice reading and writing, you can do as passive things incredibly easily,
but as soon as you want to do something active, a lot of the time, I think, especially Asian
speakers, have trouble with this.
And I don't know if they have a culture where it's not encouraged to make mistakes and to
sort of go out of your way to speak as much as possible.
Whereas, I think, on the other end of that, I've met...
I think Brazilians are probably some of the most sort of active "I don't give a shit.
I'll speak.
I don't care about making mistakes"
I'll just do it!
And yeah, so it's almost like you just have to practice, you know, just getting out there
and speaking as much as possible in order to work that muscle and strength, but...
Yeah, it's the most important part, right?
So, we create a lot of environments for the students in which they're sort of obligated,
right, to step outside of their comfort zone, and meet new people, and being in a room even
if you're in a room with other people you stick your same language, if there's people
in the room then inevitably even with the people that you can speak the same language
you will try your best to speak in English just as a, you know.
I've been so impressed with that.
I've had... my housemate is Turkish, and she always brings over Turkish people, Turkish
friends that she has, and they'll all been speaking Turkish, and the moment I enter the
room it just switches to English.
And, I'll just be like, "Do you guys actively... are focusing on that?".
And they're like, "Yeah, somewhat.".
And I'm like isn't it harder thought, like, if you always...
I feel almost bad now, 'cause every time I walk in and five of them have to switch the
language they're using, I'm like, "Eh, just hang out.
It's fine.
I'm leaving."
Well, I think it's a matter of, you know, sort of respect.
We've all been at the other end in which you in a room and everybody is speaking Dutch
and you're like, "oh what are they saying.
Yeah that's it.
I'm going to go stand outside in the rain.
Yeah, you sort of feel more... especially, with Europeans, we do a lot of European students,
and that notion, you understand immediately.
It's like oh there's like one person in the room that doesn't speak Spanish everybody
else does, but just make that person feel welcome in the group we're going to all speak
English.
And it's easier.
It's easier when you are sort of in contact with people that don't they don't speak your
mind.
What are the biggest mistakes that people can make when they get here with regards to
friendship groups, getting a job, writing a CV?
Do you have any quick and dirty tips?
Yeah stay away from your own nationalities.
Yeah, that's a biggest mistake.
So…
And if you're Colombian that doesn't mean you can just go and hang out with Chileans.
Exactly that.
Stay away from people that speak the same language as you do.
I think that the...
I think it's neat, you know, human nature really.
Well it's a path of least resistance, right?
Yeah, exactly.
What is the most comfortable thing?
As soon as you can be comfortable you'll sort of go into that mode.
We always push students to, you know, meet people from other nationalities.
Go out there.
Try to... when you hear, for example for Spanish speaks, when you hear Spanish, leave the room,
go (to) another place.
If you're French, if you hear French, just go to another place.
(It) doesn't mean that you...
Because everyone... now and then it's nice to sort of have that, the idea of saying,
"OK.
Well look, I've been speaking English since nine o'clock in the morning.
Especially, I guess, if you're at that still beginning/intermediate level...
It can be tiring.
It can be such hard work.
Yeah, where you've got to be working it constantly.
And then you're just like, "I just want to be able to... almost just breath properly.
Have a proper conversation.".
Yeah, sometimes it's good.
And actually, this is also sort of the philosophy that we have here in Go Study Australia, it's
a little bubble of home.
So, we have people here who speak French, who speak Italian, who speak Spanish.
So, also speaking of things related to jobs, to your friends, are tax returns.
Sometimes speaking it an English, which is not your first language, might be a little
bit hard.
So, it's good that you have that bubble sometimes that you can come in.
But, the most important thing to remember is that you came to Australia to learn English,
and to sort of immerse yourself in the culture.
And if you automatically only make friends in your own nationality group or sort of speaking
group it defeats the purpose.
Then you could've just... yeah...
It's pretty crazy, isn't it?
I've met people who've moved here and instantly found other French people to move in with.
And that was... it's good in one sense that you have a home straight away, you potentially
have a job if you know them.
But they've been six months and still don't speak a lick of English.
They can barely, you know, put a sentence together.
And then, I've met other people who start from the very beginning with nothing, and
within five or six months they're fluent, and it's just crazy.
Yeah.
I think that yeah, the people... we see it here all the time.
Students that... or the students that are the ones that really are successful at their
experience in Australia are the ones that have tried their best to go around their comfort
zone.
Again, everybody likes to be comfortable and being in a situation where you don't have
to struggle, but.
But growth doesn't come until you start looking for the edges.
Exactly.
It's that struggle that will push you to be better, that will push you to sort of adapt
to the situation.
And especially, and I noticed this with my partner as well, in the moment that he's outside
of sort of the comfort zone is when his brain really starts to think in English, and, "Ok,
I have to think about this word".
If he's in a situation where he's automatically speaking English, even if it's very easy,
it's not challenging so it won't push him to get.
It's like going to the gym.
You don't go there and lift everything once.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Oh, that's really cool.
That's really cool.
So, what else would you say with regards to finding a job, can you do that too early?
Do you need a certain level?
Are there certain kinds of jobs that lend themselves better to specific levels in English?
Or, just give everything a go and see what happens?
Well, one thing that we tell students always is never say no.
Yeah.
I'm trying to tell myself that all of the time at the moment as well.
It's sort of the best advice that you can give anyone.
Don't say no, just say yes to everything.
Be open to any possibilities.
Obviously, there's certain things that your English will sort of have an impact on their
relationship or the things that you're going to do.
If you have 0 level of English, the idea is, OK well find a place where you are not obviously
in front of the public.
So, a lot of students that come and don't have a lot of English, they'll look for jobs
in hospitality, but like being a runner or dishwasher.
You're still going to have the surrounding in which you're in the kitchen.
People are going to speak English, and you're still going to have that immersion of English,
but obviously you know how, you know, how to speak you can speak to the public.
And then, eventually you'll start sort of moving forward.
And the way to look at that, I feel too, is that a lot of the time once you get to that
point if you're getting paid, you know, even if it's only 15, 17, 20 bucks an hour to be
a waiter, you're getting paid to learn English whilst also just take food to tables, and
you just get repeated conversations.
They tend to be pretty easy and basic as well, 'cause you don't really get into anything
too existential, but it's good practice.
No, but it's good, because you're...
Yeah, it's very good practice.
And a lot of the students come here and they'll be in school either in the morning or the
afternoon, and the English that you learn in school is not the same English that you'll
get in the street or at work.
So, having that complement.
We see it all the time with students who just do English course, but then they never work
or they never have a life outside.
They'll sort of reach...
So, at the beginning they'll start learning a lot of English and then they reach a plateau.
But they're not using it.
Right?
And then they see they're like, "Oh!
I'm so frustrated.
Why am I not learning more?
Why am I stuck here?".
Right?
At the beginning, you see it because you...
Two, three months that you're here you just go *up* supper fast, yeah?
And then, you see it and you're super glad that you're doing it.
And then, you reach a plateau and you're like, "Oh, dammit!
I want to do more!", and that more it comes from being outside, from you finding a job,
finding people that don't speak your language, and get that sort of motivation outside of
the comfort zone, and yeah.
So, what's the best combination of all of that, friendship, work, and school?
A bit of everything?
As opposed to focusing on any single one.
Yeah.
I think that it's an important balance of all three.
We are very keen and we see the importance obviously of students actually having an education.
So, going and doing an English course, or doing avocational course, and once they have
a little bit more of their level of English to keep that sort of brain going, right?
'Cause you need that stimulation to go.
You obviously then need to sort of put it together with work and with social life.
So, the most important...
I don't think there's one more important than the other.
You're going to learn different aspects of different things in all three, right?
So, the conversation that you have a work will not be the same conversation that you
have in school, and will not be the same conversation that you have with your friends while you're
having a beer, right?
So, that sort of combination of all, 33-33-33% each, yeah?
Yeah, but it's synergistic, right?
Where they may all be at 33%, but it ends up being 110% as opposed to if you spend 100%
working on just one of them.
You end up getting a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah exactly.
And so, it's more rotund, right, if you just get that experience of the entire three little
pieces.
And so how can students find the best school?
Obviously, this is where you guys come in as well.
You just recommend just coming to you guys, and then you're the problem solvers making
this as easy as possible.
Yeah, basically, we do see ourselves as problem solvers.
Our role is to guide the student through the entire process.
So, we're experts at education in Australia.
So, that's where sort of our expertise comes in.
We will help the student sort of be guided, and we'll sit with the student, talk about
what his goals are, what he wants to get out of the experience in Australia.
And, we work with more than 500 schools all around Australia.
That's brilliant.
So, I mean in the end we're... in those 500 options, there has to be something for everyone,
right?
Yeah, definitely.
We will guide them, we'll sit down, we'll talk about, you know, "what do you want to
do?", and then we'll all try to obviously find something that will meet all of their
requirements.
So, we do a lot of English courses, and we do a lot of vocational as well.
A lot of students prefer to go into the vocational once they've been sort of... they come here,
they do six months or eight months of English, and then they want to extend their stay, and
say, "look, I want to stay".
(The) student visa's the sort of easiest way to be able to expend the knowledge in order
to stay in Australia.
And vocational courses is a good way of keep doing English, but a little bit more focussed
in your sort of area of expertise.
So, there's a lot of different options, and we always invite students to just come in,
and we'll just sit down and have a conversation in English, if you want, or in your own language
with one of our experienced counsellors, and sort of guide though the entire process to
get their studies going.
Oh, brilliant.
And so, before we finish up if you recommend any city in Australia to come, if you're coming
straight from overseas, which is a going to be?
And you're allowed to say, "Not, Melbourne.
Actually, I would say Melbourne.
Yeah!
Oh yeah!
I would say Melbourne, because for me Melbourne has it all, except for the weather.
Well, we have that as well it just tends to be in a single day.
Yeah.
I think Melbourne has the entire experience of what a student might want.
It has the Australian experience, it has social life.
it has a lot of work opportunities.
I think it offers a lot of things to students.
It has, you know, it has been voted most liveable city for seven years in a row.
So, (that) has to count for something.
I still keep like...
Why??
You're still like, "Why.
Surely, there must be better places somewhere else.
But, I think that Melbourne, of all the cities in Australia, sort of gives you...
obviously, all cities will give you a little bit of...
It depends on what you're looking for, right?
But, Melbourne, if you want the whole experience, the whole package, I think Melbourne is the
best place to be.
And what's been the best thing that you've seen whether in Melbourne, or just Victoria,
or Australia as a whole since you got here?
Well, I haven't travelled too much around Australia, 'cause I'm always in the office.
But, actually, I think the best thing that I've seen so far...
Well there's two things.
Something... you'll be like, "that's really not that great", which is the penguins in
St. Kilda.
That's pretty cute.
Did you see the water rats there as well?
Yes, I did.
They're pretty cute, too.
I have a PhD in water rats, or not water rats, but Australian rats.
And so, that's why I'm like, "Yeah.
I think that's...
My colleague Matap brought me there the first week that I was here.
And, I was just amazed.
Little penguins.
Yeah, they're pretty cute and the sounds they're making out there.
And then, the other thing that I really loved was Wilson's Prom(ontory).
Yeah.
That for me was the best thing that I've seen in Australia so far.
Did you go to Squeaky Beach and do the *stamps feet*?
Yes.
And go like this *stamps feet* all the time.
And, yeah, I think those are the two favourite things.
Obviously, I still have to see a lot of Australian.
Australia's very big.
Oh, man, I have to see a lot of Australian.
There's plenty of things I haven't seen.
Yeah.
It's very big, yeah?
It's huge.
I don't think I've...
I haven't Uluru, I haven't been to Perth, (I) haven't been to Darwin.
Yeah, sort of when you have it close to you sometimes you're like, "Ah, I'll go.
At some point, I'll go.".
Exactly, and then it just never happens.
So, I guess wrapping up, what's the best way that students can get in touch with you, or
listeners, viewers can get in touch with you?
So, well we can... just walk in, obviously.
You can write an e-mail to Melbourne(at)GoStudy.com.au, go to our website.
It depends on the city that you sort of want to explore.
If you're in Melbourne, obviously, we'll be able to help you, but we have offices elsewhere.
But yeah, our website, our Facebook page.
Same for students overseas as well?
For students overseas, it's better that they contact their local office, whether they be
Spain or Italy or France.
But, I mean, we... if I get an email or if I get a contact from any student who's elsewhere,
who's not here, I'll direct them to the right direction.
Ah brilliant.
Yeah, anyone who needs a little bit of help or needs sort of a little bit of extra push
inside of Australia, feel free to contact Go Study Australia.
Awesome.
Thanks Lorena!
