Today's episode is all about love; the reality TV show Love is Blind; how the concept works, if it is successful and how it is good for learning English. Isi also has three phrases all about love from the medieval ages and from French nobility. Lastly, Samuel asks us a question about improving their English and we announce our NEW Wednesday afternoon conversation classes.

Intro
Mitch:
[0:23] Hello welcome to Easy English episode 64? It is episode 64, just to clarify.
Isi:
[0:34] clarify. And I will again, cough around. People only know me with an ill voice. I saw it on our recent video about being on the island Sylt for a month.
Mitch:
[0:44] Yeah we've been away on a German island? There's an island in Germany? What? We made a video about it, you can watch it on YouTube. Yeah we spent four weeks, off-season on this island. It was very relaxing, but as there is not so much to do, because in the off-season, a lot of places are closed or closing early. To fill the time, we were watching some series and to cosy up in our airbnbs. We'd like to speak about one of them, which we really like. - Yep. - And one that gets a bad reputation, I think, because it fits into the category of reality TV. - And Nola just came in. - That was well synchronised, let's do it again, three two one reality three two one reality TV,

There are many ways you can improve your English with us at Easy English. We offer material for our YouTube videos.

You can download a interactive translator tool, which allows you to click on each and every word we are saying and then it translates it in live-time, into your language of choice. Or if you're an advanced speaker, then you can improve your English speaking, pronunciation, your vocabulary by joining our conversation classes. Now these are group conversation classes that we hold on Zoom. We now have two, every week. We have one on Tuesday evenings at 18.15 in British time and on Wednesday lunchtimes at 12:00.
