Intro
Isi:
[0:23] Hello.
Mitch:
[0:25] Episode number two of the Easy English Podcast. (podcast.) Podcast. So northern.
Isi:
[0:32] Here we are again. Was exciting, wasn't it our first podcast? It's weird that we look into each other's eyes today. Last time we didn't.
Mitch:
[0:40] Nah, I can't remember how we did it, but it was very rude!
Isi:
[0:44] I will look out of the window now.
Mitch:
[0:46] There's less pressure on this one.
Isi:
[0:48] Well, there's always pressure, Mitch.
Mitch:
[0:51] No, but I uh... much less pressure to... because we've started it now.
Isi:
[0:56] True. So if you listened to number one, thank you very much. That is... yeah, it's exciting. We got a lot of messages. A lot of really, really lovely feedback, so thank you very much. Uh... we got some questions and... yeah a lot of you listened to it, so we were really, really grateful and happy for it. It's a good start, isn't it?
Mitch:
[1:17] Yeah, I was actually quite impressed, 'cause I didn't really expect people would write in. But I saw how many people have listened, and it's really overwhelming. And the fact that people have even written in, to say how much they enjoyed it and that it sort of, filled that 20 minute gap of their life.
Isi:
[1:36] Yeah, it's a bit. It's still a bit weird that people listen to our... talking.

1: Icebreakers and table manners
Easy English consists of Mitch and Isi; a bi-national couple experiencing British life on the south coast of England. You might know us from our YouTube channel Easy English, where we interview the local folk of Brighton in order to teach you authentic English. This week, we discuss Queen Elizabeth's funeral, podcast recommendations and answer your questions in our 'unhelpful advice' section. But as per usual, we like to throw in our analysis of British slang, small talk and passive-aggressiveness.

Mitch:
[0:25] Hello, welcome to the new Easy English podcast.
Isi:
[0:28] Hello! That was weird. Hello!
Mitch:
[0:33] And who are you?
Isi:
[0:35] So I'm Isi. I'm a German living... nein. Oh God!
Mitch:
[0:39] Jesus, can't get past the first step.
Isi:
[0:40] You will record this forever. But I hate introductions. I actually hate introductions.
Mitch:
[0:46] Yeah, I just want to start this without the feeling that we're starting something. I want it to feel like we're in Episode 10 already.
Isi:
[0:51] Uh, who are you? Who are you? uh! (Yeah.) I always hated introductions. I hate it when you go like, to a conference or in a classroom or so; can you please stand up and say two to three sentences about yourself and just your name, your age, where you're from and a few of your hobbies. What do you like to do in your free time?
Mitch:
[1:10] That's a great idea. What we should do instead, then, because I also don't like doing this, we should do what I had to do when I was at school for icebreakers, where you have to turn to the person to your right and you have to find out something, then you have to introduce each other. And you have to remember something about them.
Isi:
[1:24] That will be really fun with the two of us.
Mitch:
[1:24] You introduced me and I'll introduce you. (Okay.) Who am I?

Intro
Mitch:
[0:23] Hello. (Hello.) Hello. Welcome to the Easy English Podcast. (Okay.) Episode number three.
Isi:
[0:32] Nobody knows who... who can talk now. (What do we say next?) I'm freezing.
Mitch:
[0:36] Yeah, okay. Describe the situation.
Isi:
[0:40] Should have... we should have made ourselves a tea before. (Very English.) Um... uh, basically, I'm so English now, I... the past two months... I mean, I've always been drinking tea, but now I drink seven or eight teas a day.
Mitch:
[0:55] But not builder's tea. (Not builder's tea.) Which, builders tea is a black tea with a splash of milk. Like a breakfast tea with milk.
Isi:
[1:02] I hate milk in tea. No, I only drink like... things like, lemon/orange/ginger/fennel. Uh... what else?
Mitch:
[1:11] It's your like, homoeopathic remedies, (Peppermint.) isn't it right? (Yeah, basically.) Your witchcraft.
Isi:
[1:15] Even... really, until... into the night, I always drink, only tea, tea, tea. And now we don't have a tea and we're freezing because our heating is broken, again.
Mitch:
[1:24] If you go... if you go to Isi with any illness should just prescribe lemon and ginger tea. I've got bronchitis - lemon and ginger. I've got tuberculosis - lemon and ginger. I've got eczema - lemon and ginger tea.
