Show Notes

Transcript

Isi:
[0:23] Well, hello hello.

Mitch:
[0:27] Welcome to a time limited and critical episode of Easy English Podcast.

Isi:
[0:31] Yeah. So the situation is, we are sitting here, having exactly 25 minutes or half an hour to record, because we have our construction work going on and they are on a lunch break, now.

Mitch:
[0:48] It has this sort of, sound of an earthquake, doesn't it?

Isi:
[0:52] But I don't think you can hear that. So let's go.
Past Week's Episode
Isi:
[1:04] The Irish.

Mitch:
[1:06] Yeah. Brits' perception of the Irish. And before we get into it, I'd actually like to know; maybe you could write in, or send us a voice message via our easyenglish.fm website. What are your thoughts on the Irish? What have you sort of, learnt through TV and media? And have you met any Irish people? Have you been to Ireland?

Isi:
[1:25] I have been to Ireland. (Where in Ireland did you go?) Uh, it's long ago. 13 years ago. Yeah, I've been... oh, the workers are back, guys. If you hear something in the background, we'll just keep on going now, because, it's real life guys. We don't have a recording studio, we're just at home.

Mitch:
[1:49] Just imagine, it's like a sci-fi movie and Godzilla is approaching.

Isi:
[1:53] Whaa... oh no, sorry. Does he do a sound? Whaa...

Mitch:
[1:59] That sounds like a cat. (Okay.) An annoyed cat.
