Interactive Transcript Support Easy English and get interactive transcripts and bonus content for all our episodes: easyenglish.fm/membership Transcript Isi: [0:22] Hiya! Mitch: [0:23] Hiya! Isi: [0:24] Hiya! Mitch: [0:25] Welcome to Easy English... Welcome to the Easy English Podcast. For those of you listening, you should be made aware, as per usual, that this episode is also available as a video episode on our YouTube channel. Because in this one, I'm going to be showing you some pictures and you might also want to look and watch along, as we identify five work habits that Germans might not understand. Isi: [1:03] Oh. Mitch: [1:03] And, I've harnessed the power of AI to create some images of typical work scenarios in the UK, which might be a little bit strange, not just for Germans, but for you guys, wherever you're watching from, if it's not in the UK. Isi: [1:23] Okay. I don't know what's coming, but I'm prepared for nothing. Mitch: [1:31] But, before we go into this week's topic, we have an exciting announcement that we've been working on over the summer, right Isi? Isi: [1:42] Yes. We changed our memberships, I think that's the first announcement. And with that, also produced a new trailer on our YouTube channel, so if you're listening, hop over there. If you're on the YouTube channel, click on it here, somewhere. So yeah, there's a new trailer, a very detailed, long trailer, that explains everything about our memberships, about our work, about our content, so please, please watch that. What we can tell now is that we, made our memberships easier and... we had before five memberships, now we have three, and to us they make more sense, then hopefully, to you. Mitch: [2:26] Yeah we've defined them a bit more in the areas of Supporter, which is for anyone that wants to help keep our project Easy English running, because at the moment it's currently just myself and Isi, little old us, and our project Easy English is kind of a community funded project, run by you, designed by you, inspired by you and made for you. You know, our podcasts and videos are free to watch and listen to, so becoming a member not only helps you learn with us, but also helps keep our project running. It's just a small amount you pay every month if you were to join the Supporter Membership and in return we'd also invite you to join our Discord server, which is a chat-based app, Is that right? Isi: [3:13] Server. Tool. Mitch: [3:14] Tool, where you can meet other members like yourself, who are supporting us, who are learning with us. But you can also meet with myself and Isi, and we'll discuss just general topics, get to know each other, and we'll get to say thank you for helping to support Easy English. Isi: [3:29] Yeah. I share lots of pictures of Nola. Mitch: [3:34] There'll be Nola pictures. There'll be dinner pictures. There'll be holiday pictures, food pictures. Isi: [3:38] All my guilty pleasure food. It's on there. So, yeah, for sure. I mean, our Discord is, for us, a place where we daily, meet our Easy English family, and it's a lot of fun. It's like a place where we just daily hang out. It's great. Mitch: [3:57] The second membership is the Learner Membership, which has now just combined the Video and Podcast Membership into one. So you're going to get all of the learning material for all of our episodes, whether it be a podcast episode or video episode. Isi: [4:10] All in one. Mitch: [4:11] Exactly, and you'll also be invited to Discord. And then the final membership is our Conversation Membership, which includes everything we've just said, but adds on our really fun, really relaxed and really useful and helpful conversation calls, which happen every Tuesday. It's a group setting it's online we all create a pub themed background, a bit like what we're doing here in the background and we just chat about topics which will be referenced in videos, we chat about topics that will help you if you're working in English, if you're coming to live in England, or if you're just wanting to surround yourself in the English-speaking world. Isi: [4:50] So, if you want to become a member and get more comfortable with your English, learn with us, get to know us, chat with us, be part of our little world, then go to easyenglish.video/membership Support Easy English and get interactive transcripts and bonus content for all our episodes: easyenglish.fm/membership

Today we have a very special episode. We're going to be doing an episode called Five Reverse Culture Shocks. And a culture shock is, for anyone who's just wondering, is when you arrive in a place, a destination, and there is something happening which completely surprises you or is contrasting to what you're aware of. So a reverse one, which is kind of, we're making up our own sort of definitions here, is what happens if you come back to your own culture and are shocked, or still shocked. And to sort of traverse this topic, we have invited Harry from Easy Spanish. Hello, Harry. Harry: [1:16] Hi. Isi: [1:17] Hi. Harry: [1:19] Or Hola. Mitch: [1:22] How's it going, Harry? Nice to speak to you. Harry: [1:26] Going very well. Thank you, Mitch. What a pleasure to be on the Easy English Podcast.

Interactive Transcript Support Easy English and get interactive transcripts and bonus content for all our episodes: easyenglish.fm/membership Transcript Mitch: [0:23] Hello, welcome to the Easy English Podcast. Today is a special episode, not because Isi is also not here, but because today I'm being joined by my mum. Hello, mum. Angeline: [0:39] Hello. Mitch: [0:41] How nervous out of 10 are you now? Angeline: [0:45] I'm not sure, really. Just because I don't know what's happening, really. I don't know what's going to be asked. Mitch: [0:52] Wonderful. - That's more than nerves than anything. - That's great. - Great. - No it's not really. The... the point of this episode is, we're still in France, at my parents; myself and Isi and we had the idea that we would interview my mum and ask her about things to do with children, me as a kid, the UK, from a mum perspective and things like that. So I've divided up the podcast into kind of three sections, the first is kind of, general questions to ask you about being my mum and mum stuff. - Right. - We'll call it 'mum stuff'. - 'Mum stuff'. - Then, the second section I would like to call it by a name I've invented called 'mum-isms'. Angeline: [1:45] 'Mum-isms', okay. Mitch: [1:47] All phrases which I remember from my childhood that you said. Angeline: [1:50] Oh no, "I told you so". Mitch: [1:54] And I want you to define what they mean, because they're quite commonly said. Angeline: [1:59] Yeah, okay. Mitch: [1:59] Not just by mums, but by parents I think, to their children. - Yeah. - And then the third bit is, we've got a couple of questions from our listeners and members, that they'd like you to answer. - Okay. - Okay.
