Intro

Mitch:
[0:22] Is it all on? Is it all going?

Isi:
[0:25] What are we talking about?

Mitch:
[0:27] Hello and welcome to the Easy English Podcast episode... I don't know.

Isi:
[0:34] We don't know anything. We were on holidays. We don't know anything anymore.

Mitch:
[0:38] We're back from Hollibobs. So as we are a bi-national couple, myself being English and Isi...

Isi:
[0:46] Being German.

Mitch:
[0:47] We thought we'd do a topic about German words that are being used in the English vocabulary. We also have some messages from some of our listeners, which we'll play in our Unhelpful Advice section first. But before we do any of that, if you're listening to this podcast as someone who wants to improve their English, let's say you've hit a wall and you just don't know how you can improve it and take it to that next level to become really fluent and understand people like me, native Brits, who are speaking grammatically incorrect and with slang and swearing and maybe even non-native English speakers like Isi, who you think oh that's - Speaking really incorrect. - Who are speaking quickly with an accent and you want to be sounding like them because they're at this C level. With our podcast you are able to download an interactive transcript and what this does is it allows you to listen to the podcast, like you're doing right now, but on your phone on your laptop whether you're at work, commuting to work, sat at home, sat on the toilet, you can learn listening to us however you wish and the interactive transcript will help you by translating each and every sentence that we speak in the podcast into your language of choice. Therefore, you're able to keep up and understand exactly what we're saying and feel like you're improving your English and taking it to that next level, where you can come to the UK and interact with other Brits, other non-native English speakers and hold a nice conversation, make friends and have a great time.
