Easy English: Learn English with everyday conversations

1: Icebreakers and table manners


Listen Later

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?
