Intro
Mitch:
[0:22] Are you ready?
Isi:
[0:26] I am ready. I have the feeling we only record tired podcasts now. We change from having a cocktail sometimes with our podcast to coffee and tiredness.
Mitch:
[0:40] Have we begun? (Yes.) Okay.
Isi:
[0:42] But I'm super motivated because of a great topic.
Mitch:
[0:45] Oh yeah?
Isi:
[0:46] Yes.
Mitch:
[0:46] Okay, firstly, welcome to the Easy English Podcast.
Isi:
[0:48] Welcome.
Mitch:
[0:50] We hope you're all well and not as sleepy as us but also as motivated as us.
Isi:
[0:56] I'm not even sleepy the coffee does help. Okay...
Mitch:
[1:00] I think it's because the shutter that sort of works for the... on the window that for the room that we're in is broken. I broke that and we seem to be breaking a lot of things at the moment where... you said it last night we're a bad omen, at the moment.
Isi:
[1:16] I think so.
Mitch:
[1:17] We also... don't tell your parents broke their fridge
Isi:
[1:21] We didn't. (Someone did.) Well I think the fridge was broken we were just being the unlucky ones to be there when the last hit.
Mitch:
[1:33] Here's a good idiom for you.
Isi:
[1:34] Yes?
Mitch:
[1:35] We have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
Isi:
[1:39] I know that one, I don't have to use my buzzer. I know it.
Mitch:
[1:45] Okay good, what is it that you want to bring to the Easy English Podcast today? Is it a new section?
Isi:
[1:50] Yes it is. So I know we discuss culture a lot of times and we have the Culture Club where we recommend British things or British series or anything cultural but last time we spoke about Brits on Germans and obviously we want to talk here about um Brits and the British way of life and I thought we could have a new section which is called Very British where we talk about anything that is actually considered to be British which could be like characteristics or like how people behave cultural behaviour but also the way that Brits or people in Britain do things.
Mitch:
[2:41] Okay, and what's the name of this called? Very British?
Isi:
[2:43] Very British.
Mitch:
[2:44] Okay, we... I make a...
Isi:
[2:45] We can also call it So Very British.
Mitch:
[2:50] Okay, I make a section which is coming in now!
