An Italian native speaker and a Portuguese native speaker walk into a bar.
They are speaking to each other.
Which language are they using? Is it English or ELF? What even is ELF?
In today's episode, my guest is EU intrepreter and ELF expert Karin Reithofer. We discuss
Karin and I are both German native speakers, so we switched from English into German for a little bit to give you some listening practice as a learner.
If you are not a German learner, don't worry as we'll always switch back to English and I interpreted make sure you don't miss anything.
Here I always like to remember what the late Ron Gullekson from Language Surfer told me:
"in a new language, I like to get uncomfortable as early as possible."
So enjoy the challenge and enjoy the German practice!
