Intro

Mitch:
[0:23] Hello, welcome to the Easy English Podcast. We have, yet again, changed erm... I was gonna say continents. But England has... the UK didn't quite leave all of Europe, just the European Union.

Isi:
[0:37] They are not yet a continent. We travelled yes... no, the day before yesterday. And, we are now in Germany, and I directly want to start with telling... (Revelations.) that I saw a multi-pack of crisps. But... (It wasn't a real multi-pack.) It was not. It was four little packs, stuck together as a four times four... why was it four times four?

Mitch:
[1:04] A "4er". It was so funny. They were just sellotaped together, back to back.

Isi:
[1:08] Yeah, so it wasn't a multi-pack in that sense, because, it did show what you get. The multi-packs that I mean, they trap you.

Mitch:
[1:16] The UK is having a big influence on the German crisp market.

Isi:
[1:22] Anyway.

Mitch:
[1:23] You can tell your story. (What story?) You have a bit of a story coming up, I think. Maybe you want to save it for a section. (Oh, yeah.) It's been an exciting couple of weeks.

Isi:
[1:35] People think always something is happening to me. Run over by car... nearly run over. Yeah. (This one was pretty...) but it has a reason, why we tell this story.

Mitch:
[1:45] Yeah. This one was like something out of a crime thriller.

Isi:
[1:48] What? For you, maybe. For what you saw.

Mitch:
[1:52] Okay. (Okay, yeah.) Let's go straight into our first segment then.
