Intro / Opening

Emma

You're listening to a real English conversation with Dialogue Frog. So, I have another story for you, Luke.

Luke

Bring it on.

Emma

A few days ago, my headset died.

Luke

Uh oh. Like it wouldn't even move?

Emma

It would not even move.

Luke

You checked its little headphone vitals?

Emma

I checked the headphone vitals. There was no sound. It would not record my voice, and I use that thing for work! I can't, I can't be without a headset.

Luke

Mm hm. So, what did you do?

So, what did you do?

Emma

This, this weekend I had to go to the computer store.

Luke

Uh huh.

Emma

It was not a fun experience.

Luke

Uh oh.

Emma

Apparently there's a lot of different types of headphones. Or rather, there's a difference between a headphone and a headset.

Luke

I see.

Emma

didn't know this.

Luke

Yeah.

Emma

So in the store, there's two different sections.

Luke

Mm hm.

Emma

There's a section for headphones.

Luke

Yep.

Emma

Headphones are what you use to listen to music, apparently. So, they are compatible with smartphones, mp3 players and that kind of thing.

Luke

Mm hm.

Emma

Then there's headsets, which are compatible with computers.

Luke

Mm hm.

Emma

And actually, there's actually a subdivision here. There's headsets for gamers-

Luke

Right.

Emma

And then there's like work headsets.

Luke

Right.

Emma

And those are actually in different parts of the store too! So there's three sections just for things that can either record your voice and provide you with sound.

Luke

Right.

Emma

Needless to say, I got lost in the store.

Luke

Yep. That's quite a- quite a dilemma.

Emma

It was a dilemma. Eventually though, I found a new headset.

Luke

That's good.

Emma

Not headphones.

Luke

Yeah.

Emma

I almost bought the wrong ones. And they are expensive so I'm glad I-I bought a headset and not headphones.

Luke

Yep.

Emma

Alright, well thanks for listening to another real conversation in English with Dialogue Frog. Hey, Luke, guess what?

Luke

What?

Emma

Dialogue Frog now has a Facebook page!

Luke

No way.

Emma

Yes way!

Luke

Does that mean our subscribers can follow us on Facebook?

Emma

Yes, our listeners can follow us on Facebook. I plan to put some, uh, episode updates and some extra content there. So if our listeners would like to follow us on Facebook, the link is in the description.
