2760
03:00
courage and something scary
59
180530

03:19
dilek yeah it was it was mental and so
65
199100
2940
03:22
how did you learn the peach picking it
66
202040
4170
03:26
difficult because you guys might not
67
206210
3240
03:29
know this but in English schools in our
68
209450
2460
03:31
education system we don't learn grammar
69
211910
2400
03:34
so i think both of us have had to learn
70
214310
2760
03:37
grammar ourselves yeah to be able to
71
217070
2130
03:39

1650
03:40

73
220850
1230
03:42
learning grammar so I basically
74
222080
3480
03:45
struggled through the voluntary
75
225560
2399
03:47
experiences but love the process of
76
227959
3000
03:50

436610
3630
07:20
the book is published
154
440240
1350
07:21
it's out of date do you know the phrase
155
441590
2340
07:23
sorry just one question the phrase it's
156
443930
2250
07:26
raining cats and dogs
157
446180
1530
07:27
you always know about girls know and the
158
447710
2250
07:29
textbooks
159
449960
780
07:30
it's like the prime idiomatic example
160
450740
3390
07:34
yeah and it's just no one uses it that
161
454130
2850
07:36
everyone knows the phrase exactly what
162
456980
2220
07:39
would you say instead of its raining
163
459200
2820
07:42
cats and dogs in a more English way i
164
462020
2040
07:44
would say it's pissing it down and if
165
464060
4170
07:48
it's really raining
166
468230
1260
07:49
no don't look at what would you do
167
469490
3000
07:52
food so already its pouring it down haha
168
472490
3600
07:56
ok or its chucking it down okay that
169
476090
2820
07:58

170
478910
2610
08:01
probably know that with your friend my
171
481520
1410
08:02
friend yeah yeah yeah okay yeah or you
172
482930

2250
08:09
marketing it down or Uranus throwing
174
489380
3060

636900
2040
10:38
Spain and in Cambodia that mean and what
235
638940
5070
10:44
are the different struggles that your
236
644010
2280
10:46
respective few prospective student news
237
646290
2400
10:48
that all feel respected their respected
238
648690
2550
10:51
student had with English so now that I
239
651240
3720
10:54
work online an online teacher my
240
654960
2820
10:57
students are from everywhere
241
657780
1950
10:59
mathematics he have i've got Turkish
242
659730
2700
11:02
student how Koreans of South Koreans and
243
662430
4019
11:06
the enemy of going lots and lots of get
244
666449
5161
11:11
other knots and not of spanish students
245
671610
4380
11:15
ok
246
675990
719
11:16
Latinos i have Italian students my god
247
676709
5581
11:22
and students are whole grains rushing
248
682290
2370
11:24
literally from everywhere and but the
249
684660
2970
11:27
majority mushrooms are Spanish okay
250
687630
3000
11:30
because I can speak some spanish yet
251
690630
2699
11:33
which helps yeah absolutely you can
252
693329
1771
11:35
understand why they're making specific
253
695100
2190
11:37
arrows
254
697290
1049
11:38
ok so you teach loads of different
255
698339
1560
11:39
nationalities use but is there one thing
256
699899
2641
11:42
that you think everyone struggles with
257
702540
2159
11:44
he yet so for those speakers who speak
258
704699
5190
11:49
phonetic languages and for example
259
709889
2820
11:52
spanish or italian is quite connected
260
712709
4081
11:56
and Turkish can be the world and that
261
716790
3450
12:00
yeah it's not completely like a Spanish
262
720240
2610
12:02
I don't think we have the same
263
722850
1080
12:03
information points on their written
264
723930
4529
12:08
language but yet very phonetic because
265
728459
4051
12:12
the english isn't so that's always a
266
732510
1769
12:14
struggle but i think that's that's quite
267
734279
2881
12:17
obvious and not some spanish people know
268
737160
2039
12:19
that they have difficulties with that
269
739199
1830
12:21
but I also think grammar is a big thing
270
741029
3451
12:24
yes they are not with spanish people
271
744480
3089
12:27
yes well one thing I always think is my
272
747569
3181
12:30
finest students are fantastic at grammar
273
750750
2310
12:33
okay yeah always
274
753060
1769
12:34
I mean they can tell you that pluperfect
275
754829
1861
12:36
whatever you have everything
276
756690
2009
12:38
yeah okay so what they can't do is put
277
758699
2070
12:40
it into action
278
760769
1201
12:41
yeah absolutely they know what a theory
279
761970
1979
12:43
but the practice in there and I don't
280
763949
1711
12:45
know if it's related to their education
281
765660
2489
12:48
system they're very exam based your and
282
768149
3361
12:51
practical and I think that shows in the
283
771510
2550
12:54
English is very true and having taught
284
774060
4589
12:58
so many Spanish people i think the way
285
778649
3060
13:01
they use the present in spanish is a lot
286
781709
2551
13:04
more flexible yeah than ours and for
287
784260
3569
13:07
example there's three ways i'll give you
288
787829
3271
13:11
three sentences in spanish and which are
289
791100
3479
13:14
using the president in English we
290
794579
1740
13:16
wouldn't use the president you have any
291
796319
1801
13:18
of them so I'm my boy for example we
292
798120
4860
13:22
would say I'm going yeah yeah there you
293
802980
3630
13:26
got to tell you though so i will help
294
806610
2550
13:29
you yeah i'm dead after a fan you get
295
809160
6330
13:35
bukkake exact like believe all that
296
815490
3329
13:38
means I've lived here for three years so
297
818819
2671
13:41
they're very flexible of that so i often
298
821490
2010
13:43
find that might need to say I'm living
299
823500
3060
13:46
here for three years
300
826560
1649
13:48

301
828209
3151
13:51

302
831360
839
13:52
yeah so that stuff often issue and you
303
832199
3570
13:55
