Secondly, under what circumstances can I put defining variables outside a function. For e.g. can I put this outside the function? Thank you
vowel = ("a", "e", "i", "o", "u")
letters = list(word)
def disemvowel(word):
vowel = ("a", "e", "i", "o", "u")
letters = list(word)
for letter in word:
if letter.lower in vowel:
letters.remove(letter)
return ",".join(letters)
new_word = disemvowel("australia")
print(new_word)
def disemvowel(word):
vowel = ("a", "e", "i", "o", "u")
letters = list(word)
for letter in word:
if letter.lower in vowel:
letters.remove(letter)
return ",".join(letters)
new_word = disemvowel("australia")
print(new_word)

43,799 Pointslower is a method on string, so it should be called like: letter.lower()
You just left out the parens. Change that, and it should work.
