Mitch: [0:25] Hello everybody, welcome to the Easy English Podcast. Isi... Isi: [0:29] You just missed another little pre-talk about Manchester United.

Isi: [0:50] We're talking about friendships. Mitch: [0:53] Ah Manchester United friends. Isi: [0:56] We're talking about friendships, because we did talk about friends before, specifically about... - Making friends. - How to find friends, make friends. - Yeah! - And if you have watched that... was it a video podcast? I think watched? No? - Listened. - Listened, listened anyway. Then, you might have heard that I said; oh we need to do a podcast just about friendships, because we were always going down with, when we talked about how to get to know people, we were always going down into this friendship; what are friendships? What are our friend's root? So I said we do another one and this is about friends. Isi: [1:32] My first question is; what is the most important thing about friendships?

Welcome to the Easy English Podcast. We're just coming down... Isi: [0:30] I never know what my position is in this. Okay, let's go. Let's not do too long of babbling. Mitch: [0:35] Okay. Isi: [0:36] Blah-blah-ing. Do you say blah-blah? Mitch: [0:37] I just wanted to say that, you know, we're celebrating still because, one, we reached our 100th episode just recently, and what followed then was... - Podcast episode. - Podcast episode. What followed then, was we also hit 250,000 subscribers on YoTube. So I just want to say thank you if you're one of those subscribers and if not... - Thank you. - Why the hell not? Isi: [0:59] It's a good number isn't it? It's nice. I think we have a question or a message. Mitch: [1:03] Yeah so, we actually had someone send in a message some weeks ago, and I'm sorry for not playing it directly, because we had episode 100 and we played some messages and yours came in just a little bit too late, but not too late for us to play it now. So here is a message from Paloma Isi: [1:20] Paloma, what a beautiful name. Mitch: [1:21] Nice name. - Yeah. Paloma: [1:22] Hi guys, how are you today? I hope you're hving a great day. Well, my name is Paloma, I'm Argentinian and I am living in Italy, right now. And, Ijust wanted to say thank you, because I love your content, I am a... let's say a fan of languages, I am studying, also, Italian, because I am living here, in Italy. I also speak English, and I am initiating, lets say with French... yep. Because, I love languages, but I don't hhave much time to... to study, you know. But, I want to tell you that I am an English teacher... yeah, I am an English teacher. But I am teaching English to students who speak Spanish, because that's my mother tongue and... nothing. I use, a lot, you content to practise and to take expressions... British expressions, even though I don't speak in a British way... real British way, but anyway, I do my best. thank you so much and have a nice day again, bye! Isi: [2:38] Very nice. So, Paloma, I directly thought her English is so good. Mitch: [2:43] It's really good. I thought she sounded a bit Scottish at one point. Isi: [2:46] I thought at the very beginning that she was a native, yeah. That makes sense now. You're an English teacher. You know your stuff. Mitch: [2:54] You've got some influences in your accent there, some British influence. Isi: [3:01] Okay, so it wasn't even a question. Thank you so much for, first of all, letting us know that you like our content and that you use it in your teaching lessons. That's really, really cool. And it really helps us, just to receive those messages because it makes all our work worth it. Mitch: [3:19] Absolutely. It's amazing to get those little nuggets of joy that people get from using our resources, basically. Because, we have no way of knowing unless you tell us how you like it, if you even like it. Isi: [3:33] It would really help us... I know we have asked this at the very beginning of doing YouTube, of doing podcasts. And you probably are not used to people creating content, asking this anymore. But I recently thought about it, that it would be really, really important to us, if we have more interactivity on YouTube, through comments, likes, subscribes, for our podcast, for example, on Spotify. It really helps. And you can also review our podcast on Spotify, for example, and on other podcast apps as well. And, I would like to add another thing, because we have just recently, last week, changed our membership. You maybe know that we have a Conversation Membership where people, once a week, until now, in our online pub on 'Zoom' could speak to us, to each other, practise their conversation skills. And we really saw, during the past years, how we have some members that are there for yea
Making friends is hard, especially the older you get. So Isi guides you... and Mitch through the different ways, modern and old that you can make new friends.

Isi: [0:50] You do sound very unmotivated. I have a good topic for us, though. Mitch: [0:55] Yeah, you're at the steering wheel today, right? Isi: [0:58] Yes. It's a topic that is interesting and important for everyone. Maybe only those people that hate humans a lot. They will not like it now. Mitch: [1:09] Good build-up. Isi: [1:11] It's important for everyone, because we're talking, today, about how to make friends.

And we didn't even train this. Rehearse this. 100, this is insane. It feels more and less, with so many things in life that's what it is right? It feels like, longer and shorter, more and less. But It's a nice number, 100. Mitch: [0:57] A great milestone to reach. - Not the last one. - Won't be the last 100 we reach. But um... as a way to celebrate it and also to say thank you, we reached out and asked you to send us some of your messages. So, that's why we're here today.

Mitch: [0:23] Hi, everybody. Isi: [0:25] Welcome to another episode. But now I am doing this. Oh, no. Mitch: [0:28] You're doing it. Isi: [0:29] Oh, no. Well, let's not do this. Mitch: [0:32] I pointed at you. Isi: [0:32] It's Easy English Podcast. We're starting now. Mitch: [0:37] Wow, what a surprise. Isi: [0:38] Whoever listened before knows that I got a bit annoyed that, not annoyed, I thought it was actually, now we talk about it even longer, that Mitch always says, welcome to the Easy English Podcast. Mitch: [0:48] Every episode. Isi: [0:50] When you actually probably know that it's the Easy English Podcast you're listening to. Mitch: [0:53] I just want to be formal, like you're opening your front door to somebody. Isi: [0:57] Yeah, but you're wasting people's time, and now I'm wasting people's time. So we start now. Mitch: [1:02] What are we talking about today? You're taking control again. Isi: [1:05] Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about another conversational topic. We have just talked about, if you listened to our last podcast, about flatmate conversations; living with people in houses or flats, in the UK. It's now, you would think it's similar, but it's not. We will, today, talk about small talk with neighbours. Isi: [1:37] Those people you might not know that well. They might live up your street, 10 houses up your street, and you just know them from, you know; "hiya, lovely today, huh?" Like, that kind of conversation. And this kind of small talk, I will say as an expat living in the UK, is very important.

Thank you for tuning in. Do people tune in these days? Isi: [0:33] We are such boomers. We're not boomers, though. The new boomers are millennials. Mitch: [0:39] But to say tune in sounds cool, but nobody tunes in. Isi: [0:43] Tune in on Saturday. Mitch: [0:45] Thanks for typing in that URL code. Isi: [0:48] Okay, now how do I get to my topic? Mitch: [0:50] Well, actually, you mentioned a good way, because if you are a regular listener, you'd have heard our relationship test episode. One of the questions are; what's something that Isi likes to speak about, on a regular basis? Isi: [1:05] You did it wrong, you said music, which is actually true though. Mitch: [1:08] I said music or Nola. - Yeah, I love it all. - So I got half a point, because... Isi: [1:12] Nola is actually number one. Mitch: [1:13] But Nola opens up a whole topic of animals and like, you said, animal welfare. - Yes. - Which is an important part of your life. Isi: [1:22] Very important for me. Mitch: [1:24] The consideration of animal welfare. Support Easy English and get interactive transcripts and bonus content for all our episodes: easyenglish.fm/membership

Mitch: [0:23] Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Easy English Podcast. We're back at it with Isi's episode today, a part two-a of co-living? Flatmates? - housemates, flatmate conversations. Isi: [0:40] Yes. I directly want to... No, let's start a bit easier. We're not going to the bathroom directly. If you didn't listen to part one, do that first. Mitch: [0:52] Yes, we covered the kitchen, as part of living with other people. Isi: [0:57] We covered broken things, and we covered the first day in the flat. Mitch: [1:02] Food, cleaning, the whole thing. Oh yeah, introductions, icebreakers. Isi: [1:08] I now want to talk about the 'quiet vs the loud flatmate'. Support Easy English and get interactive transcripts and bonus content for all our episodes: easyenglish.fm/membership

Isi: [0:26] Hello! Mitch: [0:26] Today... Isi: [0:28] I chose the topic again. Mitch: [0:30] Again. Taking the driver's seat. Isi: [0:33] You give me too much power. Mitch: [0:34] I'm constantly the passenger now. Isi: [0:38] You can leave us a message if that's a good thing. Maybe my topics are boring as hell. Mitch: [0:43] No, yest... the last one with couples was really good. Isi: [0:47] Well, now, I wanted to talk about something that we both have experiences with, where we can share some insight, not only into our experiences with it, mine will be from Germany and yours from the UK, but also, you can share some things about how that is working in the UK, because it's a bit different to how it's in Germany, I think. And that is, living together with flat, or housemates. Mitch: [1:15] Co-living. Isi: [1:16] Co-living, which is a big thing in the UK, at least when you study, but even afterwards. Mitch: [1:23] Yeah, especially if you are kind of a young professional, trying to climb the job ladder. Isi: [1:29] Or you live in London then it's all your life. - Or if you live in London, then you live with random people until you're 95. - Actually that sounds quite nice. So what I want to do, and we might make out of this, two podcasts, because I have a lot of topics. - Great. - I would like to go through different situations that you will face, while living together, with other people. And I thought we could, we can change it a bit. But first of all, I would like us to talk about it, if we have experience with that. How that was, share some personal stories. You can obviously share the British perspective. There's obviously a lot of new vocabulary that you can learn around living with people. Something that not in every country is common, but in lots of countries. Or maybe you come to the UK and you will live with somebody. And you are well prepared after this podcast, we hope. Or you don't want to do it any more. Mitch: [2:27] Yeah, you're put off completely.
