weekend including setting up my new computer so that's one of the big jobs

that I've been doing this week in fact I'm still doing it now so I'm having to

back up all of the files from my old computer and let's just say there are

lots and lots of files that need backing up and saving quite a few today is a

special day in Buenos Aires truck drivers are protesting against the

viewers Mohammad Shaikh URI says we missed you we really are accustomed to

following your streaming video well as I mentioned earlier there is some good

news I will be with you on Sunday this Sunday I'm back and my new computer is

working very well so I will reveal that on Sunday at the moment I am streaming

to you on my mobile phone so this isn't my new computer this is my mobile phone

hello Catherine Foggs is here hello Catherine thanks for joining me a big

bonjour to you as well Stefano is here also our mid and Swan

Swan hello there nice to see you back again is it cold in your town please

tell me well I will give you a clue because just before I started my live

stream I was outside collecting some firewood so I'm bringing the firewood

into the house so it will dry out and the reason why I'm doing it is because

next week here in the UK the weather is going to get very very cold apparently

it's going to be freezing next week so I'm getting the firewood into the house

and hopefully I will stay nice and warm but apparently next week here in the UK

it's going to get very cold apparently there is a lot of very cold air coming

in from the east that is what is happening next week so yes it is going

to get very cold I think next week even during the day it will be around about

one or maybe zero degrees oh my goodness that is very cold

and of course we might get some snow as well so we will see what happens next

week we might get some snow who knows thank you very much for all of your

lovely messages by the way with me it was mr. Steve's birthday last week and

I'm going to show you one of the cards that mr. Steve got here we go so this is

a card that mr. Steve received last week do you like it look at that isn't that

cute apparently happiness is realizing that it's Saturday

so apparently happiness is realizing that it is Saturday in other words you

are lying in bed and then your alarm clock makes a very loud noise you wake

up and you think you have to go to work but in fact you don't and we all know

that that is a very nice feeling indeed in fact it makes me feel very happy so

there it is there is a card that mr. Steve received last week and it says

happiness is realizing that it's Saturday or the weekend of course so

there is nothing nicer than waking up on a Saturday morning when you

realize that you don't have to go to work of course some people do some

people do have to go to work at the weekend let's have a look at the live

chat hello from Poland Alec Obi says hello from Poland very

nice hi mr. Duncan how's it going it's nice

to see you again Thank You Francisco it's going ok but I

am incredibly busy at the moment even though I'm not doing any live streams

behind the scenes I am very busy very busy indeed savvy arrow is here

savvy arrow hello watching in Italy also we have Stefano who is watching in Italy

as well apparently Serbia is here as well it's not nice I think you could

have told me in a nice away though I don't know why the connection on my on

my stream keeps breaking I don't know why how annoying I am very happy for you

Thank You Ahmed yes Italy is watching why do you wear the

ice cap what is the weather oh it's very cold outside at the moment that's why

I'm wearing my hat because I've just been outside to bring in some firewood

so that's the reason why Swan says yes it's after 11 o'clock here so now it is

coming up to 11:15 in France and here in the UK it is coming up to 1015 how old

are you mr. Duncan a lot of people seem very interested in my age well let's

just say that I'm not as old as my teeth but I'm older than my hair how's that

USA where is mr. steve says potage that is a very good question mr. Steve isn't

here at the moment he's out now last weekend he appeared in a show and

tonight he's gone to to rehearse for yet another show I don't know why he does it

mr. Steve keeps so busy so tonight he is rehearsing for another show and he's

also gone to see one of his friends tonight who has just come out of

made comments about how much they enjoy they really do enjoy watching mr. Steve

and also myself I am happy to hear your good news you are welcome then you

realize that you'd be you'd be overflowing with your feelings

and your attempts I don't know I don't know what that means to dig deeper and

understand that some people as well as things are really too dumb to take them

seriously yes well some things in life should never be taken too seriously in

fact some people say that life shouldn't be taken too seriously especially at the

moment with all of the crazy things happening around the world

hello mr. Duncan it's Nicole Jeffrey hello Nicole thank you for joining me I

hope you can see me and I hope you can hear me okay because the connection

cold arctic weather next week so yes I think it's going to get very cold now in

would tell YouTube about that it's a wonderful painting thank you very much

what does scarf mean scarf a scarf is something you put around your neck to

keep your neck warm normally you wear it in the winter what would you prefer

winter or summer if I had a choice I think I would prefer summer but to be

honest I really do like spring and at the moment here in the UK we are

starting to approach spring yes so I think one of my most favorite times

of the year must be spring followed by summer and of course I do quite like

winter as well especially when it snows is it millions of people or million

people you can say millions millions of people should be watching mr. Duncan

thank you very much for your support Sahra says hey how are you I'm from

Syria a big hello to you Sarah watching at the moment in Syria thank you William

William Lopez thank you very much for your message again apparently the the

summer in Egypt was amazing yes I love summer

I must admit summer is quite nice now what are - people have written to me

asking could you recommend a TV show or something that I can watch now I think

the thing that I'm about to show you is available on YouTube I think it is and

this is something that I've shown before

this is a program a TV show called mind your language and it is a very famous TV

show it it was made a long time ago in the 1980s can you believe it

in fact it was made in the late 1970s and early 1980s

and there it is mind your language a very funny program and the reason why

I'm mentioning this is because this program is all about people who are

learning English as a Second Language and there are some episodes some

episodes of this program on YouTube yes so try to look out for that mind your

language it is a very funny program a lot of people like it do you want to see

one of the presents that mr. Steve got last week ok here is one of the gifts

I'm not going to show you it completely aleem it says please say hi to Brazil

hello to Brazil and everyone watching right now here it is this is a little

present that mr. Steve received last week now I won't show it to you properly

I will give you a little hint can you see there it is

there it is so can you tell what it is yes it is a picture frame a picture

frame but what is in the frame what is it I'll give you a clue it's a

photograph it's a very lovely photograph as well so I might show this to you on

Sunday so there it is one of mr. Steve's presents in fact this was from his

sister but I will show you what is in the frame on Sunday mmm something else I

will be showing you on Sunday because a lot of people

ask mr. Duncan when will you do some more cooking now I am hoping to do a

little bit of cooking on Sunday and and this is something to give you a clue

this is a clue as to what I am doing on Sunday there it is can you see it there

it is is it clear so there is something that I

might be using on Sunday look at that there it is on Sunday can you see it but

what is it I will show you what it is used for on Sunday because a lot of

people seem to like watching me cook did you see mr. Steve cooking curry the

other week yes in fact can I just be honest with you mr. Steve is a much

better cook than me it's true did you try the meditation last week now

apparently mr. Steve is going to do some yoga it's true used to make cake is this

used to make cake oh this no I won't be making a cake I won't be making a cake

but it is something to eat it is something that you can eat you'll do

popcorn mr. Duncan and no I won't be doing popcorn

unfortunately please say hello to Syria bye Anna hello bye Anna

bye Anna says please say hello to Syria hi Syria I know I have lots of people

watching there at the moment and I send to you my best wishes

31 minutes I've been on already wow the time goes so fast so why am i wearing my

hat well I've just been outside just before starting my livestream I went

outside to bring in some firewood you can also call this a log-log in fact the

word log has many meanings it does so log can also mean to record something

you record information you write something down and you use the thing

that you have written down for information so you log something quite

often you will log the time when something happens so you might have a

log to show when people sign in or when people arrive for work or if something

happens out of the ordinary you will write it down you will put it in the log

hmm it is now 10:35 here in the UK yes Patricia says yes you can sleep like a

log it's true if you sleep like a log it means that you sleep very well you have

a very deep sleep a very deep sleep indeed and getting so much rubbish

coming through all my phone don't you hate it when that happens when you're

trying to do something on your phone and then lots of notifications start coming

up and most of it is junk junk really the time flies quickly with you I mean

the time is running out yes I always think the time goes very fast but don't

worry because on Sunday I am with you for two

two hours on Sunday can you believe it so I hope you will join me on Sunday

because I will be here for two hours and don't forget mr. Steve will be here as

well what about your birds mr. Duncan are they freezing outside well you don't

have to worry about the birds because I'm keeping them well-fed they are very

healthy and very excited because spring is coming and of course during the

springtime many of the birds will mate and they will lay their eggs

please mr. Duncan make a voice or make a noise by your nose when you sleep oh I

see do you mean snore snore snore it's a

great word we love you from Syria thank you very much once again Sarah I can

tell that Sarah is very excited yes yes the sound that you make when you are

asleep some people make it not everyone some people apparently I snore

apparently I mean I don't realize it because I'm asleep you see so I don't

know that I snore mr. Duncan please may you change the place change the place oh

do you mean here where I'm standing at the moment well I can't because my

camera is fixed so I can't move around at the moment I can do this I can go

this way slightly you see there we go I'm moving now so I'm moving now to my

right is that better there we go that's different I can go a bit further if you

want there we go look at that there we go that's different

apparently in Kurdistan I don't believe it that's incredible he

diet says it is 1:35 in the morning in Kurdistan oh my goodness that is so late

and and you've decided to stay up just for me to watch me on the Internet isn't

that lovely what's the difference between vendor and seller they are

basically the same thing so a vendor is normally a person who sells things

normally from a specific place like a shop so a vendor so maybe a newspaper

vendor but of course you can use seller as well so a person who sells newspapers

is a newspaper seller and they can also be described as a newspaper vendor

vendor vendor just means to serve to give so you can find maybe automatic

machines that will give you drinks or food and we call those vending machines

vending machines so vending is just to supply and give you need a plant behind

you for decoration do you know what I don't have any plants in this room I

really should have a nice flower in here yes a plant maybe maybe in the corner

behind me what do you think do you think there should be a plant there look at

that look at that corner now I think that corner should definitely have a

plant standing there yes I think you're right I think I think that corner

definitely needs a plant vendor comes from the verb vondre in French yes well

a lot of English words do originate in the French language

not the most funny corner I must admit yes this corner isn't very

funny this is the empty corner Big Love from Gaza oh it's gone and it's 12:40

and I joined you my name is Abdul Abdul haba apparently in sao paulo sao paulo

in brazil it is 26 degrees oh I'm so jealous

very jealous I wish it was 26 degrees here apparently is going to be freezing

next week mr. Duncan I'm going to go to London and I can't speak English maybe I

have some advice to improve my English language fluency yes I think so

well it all depends when you are coming here so if you are not visiting here for

a few months maybe you're not coming here for a while so maybe you still have

some time to improve your English so maybe the problem is that you don't know

nothing would or maybe you feel shy to speak because a lot of people are very

shy when it comes to speaking another language I cannot open my eyes anymore I

should go to bed yes you should you should because it's very late what does

it mean Trump and as you know it is the name of the president of the USA yes the

word Trump can be used in many ways for example Trump means to to win or to beat

someone so you you get a better outcome than someone else or you beat someone

you win so maybe in a race you do something better than the other person

you Trump them you Trump them another word you can use is out do

so if you outdo someone it means you Trump them also the word the word Trump

this is very rude by the way the thing I'm about to say is very rude the word

Trump in British English means fart yes so in British English the word Trump

means fart it's true I'm not joking I love you mr. Duncan because you are

funny and cool you have a lot of attitudes similar to Egyptian people

thank you very much for that well I believe that sometimes you have to be

happy life is to be enjoyed that's what I think anyway so if you are happy then

I I think that you find that the day goes much nicer I try to be optimistic

even when things are going wrong what is the right preposition I work I work you

can say that I work in radio I work in radio so that means your profession is

in broadcasting so normally broadcasting through the radio so we can say that I'm

in radio I am in radio so funny mr. Duncan thank you very much for that what

is the thing called on your head this is my hat my woolly

hat so this is made of wool buying wool Boing so my hat is made of wool and it

keeps my head very warm so yes this is a hat another word for this is beanie

beanie I hope I'm pronouncing that clearly beanie so

you can actually call this type of hat beanie

it's a beanie hat mr. Duncan you look so nice tonight thank you very much I

always try my best of course I've got my reading glasses on tonight I'm wearing

my reading glasses because sometimes I can't see the writing on the screen

because it's so small this is Simone hello Simone you're amazing thanks for

all of your lessons you are welcome no problem you are always so happy yes of

course of course yes you always have to be happy you try to be happy even when

things are going wrong in fact I made a lesson all about happy and sad maybe you

have seen it maybe you haven't so Donald Trump's last name is the same as fart

yes it's true mr. Duncan why don't you have Instagram I do have Instagram I am

on Instagram I will help you develop YouTube channel for example YouTube cat

range I don't know what that means thank you very much for that but yes I am on I

am on Instagram your hat is called a bonnet not really no a bonnet normally

goes around your face as well so when we say bonnet the bonnet normally covers

your face and quite often it will tie underneath your chin so a bonnet

normally goes around your face and normally you can tie it under your chin

quite often babies babies and young children will wear a bonnet

of course a bonnet can be a general term for hat do you think that England

speaks the same English that Shakespeare spoke someday well

Shakespeare was around a long time ago six hundred years ago so English has

changed a lot but of course a lot of people still like Shakespeare and on

Sunday mr. Steve will be reading some Shakespeare to you all on Sunday we use

a bonnet at the swimming pool oh yes well when you swim you will put

something on your head to protect your hair and also to keep the water out of

your ears and we call that cap we call it a swimming cap swimming cap but this

isn't for swimming this is this is not for swimming this is made this is made

of wool it's very warm it keeps my brain warm your glasses are very handsome oh

thank you very much these are my reading glasses I have to read the very small

writing you see the writing on the screen is very small and sometimes I

can't see the writing so I have to wear my reading glasses good night all of you

I am going now wish you have sweet dreams thank you very much one or two

people are leaving now because it's very late where they are in fact it's very

late here as well it's actually coming up to ten minutes to eleven o'clock

hello mr. Danko its Clemson yes Thank You Clemson my new studio is coming okay

it's coming along quite well in fact I will be using it on Sunday yes on Sunday

I will be here from 2 p.m. UK time I heard English pronunciation used used to

be really different in Shakespeare's time yes many words have changed over

600 years the way in which we use words the way in which some words have

disappeared completely what is the meaning of to have a go and have a bash

if you have a bash it means you try you give it a try you have a go so you try

something I will give it a bash so have you ever tried playing the piano no but

I am very willing to give it a bash to give it a try so yes it is a very loose

term it means to try something to give it a bash I will try it I will give it a

bash goodnight from Seville Oh Elinor is going now Thank You Eleanor

see you later parting is such sweet sorrow

but don't worry I will be back on Sunday and maybe you will as well how to

develop fluency in Brazil it is very hard to find people to talk to well

thank you art for that well one of the reasons why I do this is to give you a

chance to listen to English being spoken

like this as it happens naturally so that's why I like doing my live streams

you see so listening is very important but of course it is very common for

people not to have other people to pray this width but of course you can always

find other people who have a similar interest maybe you can use the Internet

or maybe you can put a notice up somewhere and you can ask if there is

anyone out there who has an interest in learning English

could you please contact me so there you go you could start your own English

group

can you describe an object as handsome not really no you don't normally

describe an object as handsome quite often it is an animal you can describe a

horse as handsome what a handsome horse it's a handsome beast some people

describe me as a handsome beast sometimes but not very often

mr. Duncan here from my workplace I am watching you in Colombia Thank You

Sergio for that I am going in ten minutes ten minutes I am going

please show is the photograph I will show you the photograph on Sunday I

can't show you everything now because then then there'll be no point coming on

Sunday you see so that's the reason why I'm doing that yes we call it teasing

mr. Duncan you are so naughty I look very strange in this camera can you see

I look I look very odd it looks like my nose my nose my nose is very big it's my

nose really that large is it I hope not

you are a great teacher I love you very much thank you sorrow you are very very

welcome um are you drunk no I'm not drunk

well the only thing that I'm drunk on is life

because life is pretty cool

Swan says I saw your photographs on Instagram together with some photos

showing Britax I don't think that is on my Instagram

somehow no I can I can tell you now that that is not on my Instagram oh it's yes

it's advertising it wasn't me what are you saying there is it mr. Steve as a

baby no the photograph isn't mr. Steve as a

baby but I do have I have a photograph of mr. Steve when he was a baby

and he was so ugly he was a really ugly baby it's true

Madrid loves you thank you very much for that for a foreign guy which is easy or

easier American English or British English they are both as easy it really

depends on what you want to learn but don't forget American English or British

English they are the same they are still English so don't forget there is only

one English language good morning from Indonesia it is so cloudy here very

cloudy but I hope it's warm there and of course I I think at the moment in

Indonesia you are having a little bit of trouble with a volcano yes I saw the

pictures earlier really mr. Duncan you are handsome thank you very much for

that yes mr. Duncan listening is very important especially when you are

learning I think that's what you wanted to say your nose is good enough thank

you very much for that I think maybe this camera is making my nose look

Thank You mr. Duncan here is a chance to find people interesting in developing

fluency yes of course there are many ways of contacting people who share a
