[0:22] Hiya! Welcome to the Easy English Podcast. Today, we're going to be discussing five things that annoy you, that I know annoy you, as a German who is experiencing the UK.

Isi:
[0:39] So that people can hate me afterwards

Mitch:
[0:43] No, but these are things which I think all Germans will be annoyed about, and I'm going to leave it up to you to decide what the pictures are that I’m going to show you, what they really mean, what the annoyance will be. And if you're listening to this podcast, you should be made aware that this podcast is also available on our YouTube channel, where we'll be showing pictures to Isi and we'll be discussing five annoying things that all Germans hate about the UK.

Isi:
[1:14] I doubt that all Germans will hate it.

Mitch:
[1:17] Yeah, clickbait.

Isi:
[1:19] Hate is a very strong word. Let's say dislike or criticise.
