Buenos dias. Yo soy Rory No Rory, no, no place.
Like your Spanish is not that good Okay, you say like soy Rory Soy Rory, ketal Yes, the listener today's episode is about talking to others, but not necessarily in Spanish Yeah, we love Spanish and Rory is very excited about Spanish So he wants to talk to people in Spanish to talk to you in Spanish.
All like ketal me gusta me gusta pasta Ome gusta pizza.
That's not Spanish.
It would be me gusta paella.
Oh me gusta paella Paella is my own paella However paella has nothing to do with Talking to others.
So let's focus on that.
Let's talk about talking to other people Do you like to talk to others?
Well, I'm a teacher so I suppose that must be the case.
I'm not sure I could do this job if I didn't like doing it Do you like to talk a lot to others?
Well, assuming it's appropriate for the situation.
Yes I mean no one wants to be talked at for a solid hour if you're just making small talk do they Did you like to talk with others when you were a child?
Yes, and my my primary one teacher used to write talk talk talk wouldn't take a telling in my reports because I was such a chatterbox and You would think that would be a bad sign.
But now here I am making my living from doing exactly that Have the topics of conversation changed since you were a child Well, I certainly hope so though I suppose things can regress to a childish level when I'm being immature with my friends But we also talk more about the future and more grown -up
things like finances these days And do you prefer talking to people face to face or online?
Well, it depends on what the situation is I mean if it's social chitchat then I would much rather sit down and talk face to face with people However, if it's just answering Sort of like factual or questions about factual information from potential clients Then it's easier to do that when I can sit down
and type things out Will you talk more to other people in the future?
I imagine so I mean the population is increasing so like I usually say in absolute terms Yeah, but also my businesses are doing rather well So I would assume that as more customers come or more students come then I will be talking to more people Thank You Rory.

We talk to other people we speak to other people we have a chat with other people We make small talk have a conversation or hold a conversation We have a blather in my country.
Oh, no, it's very specific to Scott Scotland.
We chew the fat No, no, no a slang.
Yeah do it. So you just stick on the usual words yet The learning no, there is no such thing as a neutral word language is political Yeah, but Rory, come on.
Balaise what's this word Balaise?
What was it? Balaise yeah, I've never heard this word to be used anywhere Balaise well just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it's not real about true.
True Do you have more in pure linguistic imperialism?
You would like to share with the crew British English is the only English Everything else is a mistake.
I Mean, I want to say that's not true So dear listener the questions are about talking to others are this we mean other people Here we don't use an article So you say I prefer talking to others or I prefer talking to other people or I enjoy talking to other people I enjoy talking to people.
Okay, so careful about others Talk to others like talking to others talk to other people or talk to another person That's a mistake I hear quite a lot actually and really it's important to practice this the difference between when to use others and another It happens all the time and I totally get why
but that is something that people will notice in an exam So please be careful with this.
Yeah, we don't say talk to another You can say talk to another person but in general You say talk to people talk to others and the questions are quite strange Look, do you like talking to people, you know?
No, I hate it I never talked to anybody and then you look at the examiner like I'm talking to you, but I mean I hate it It's very strange Well, what do we say?
Yes, I like talking to others I love a good Natter.
No, what's Natter? I love a good chat Or you can say I don't like talking to others, but I have to do it Or I don't chat to other people much Not every day Natter, for example is UK.
It's British English informal It's the best English to talk continuously for a long time Like this, like you are Nattering away, you are chatting away You can say that sometimes I talk a lot with others or I don't Talk much with other people or I have to talk to people because of my job Make small talk
Make small talk means when you meet a person for example in a lift at work During a coffee break, and then you kind of discuss weather Like oh, I could you like the weather Like how are you just like make small talk to you like the weather.
No, I hate the weather I wish there was no weather ever.
Yeah, and I hate talking to people to don't talk to me Don't talk that's why I'm taking a language exam because I just hate talking to people so much When I was a child, I used to talk to everybody but not now for example When I was a child, I was a chatterbox a chatterbox Am I allowed to use that chatterbox?
Yeah chatterbox is okay Maria A lady of all English that the Empress of English has decreed that chatterbox is acceptable exact Because it's American English as British English.
So everyone uses a chatterbox so a Person especially a child who talks a lot So you can say I used to be a chatterbox at school But now I am not at school and now I am not a chatterbox Even if you were not a chatterbox at school just use this sentence dear listener I used to be such a chatterbox at school
and Rory we don't understand what your teacher told you was this like talk talk talk Wouldn't take a telling what this take a telling take a telling just means wouldn't listen to what they are told Still we don't understand this like if you if you well if you take a telling then that means that you
Do what you are told to do?
But if you don't take a telling and you do not do what you are told to do like if the teacher In your primary one class tells you to shut up, even though you are hyper social at this age Mrs.
Chammers Is it the same as take a telling off?
it could be actually I suppose and because if you're if you've been given a telling then it just means that you're being told to Do something and usually that happens when you're doing something you should not be doing because we have a verb Tell off tell somebody off usually a parent or a teacher Tells
you off like they speak angrily to you like how why are you late?
Where have you been what's heavy done?
Yeah, you're bad. Are you talking in class?
Even though human beings are social animals?
Yeah, so they tell you off The topics of your conversations with your friends Change over time, right?
So and we say the topics like what you discuss topics of your conversations They have changed or they haven't change or usually they change as you are getting older Are you hope so if you're still talking about the same things that you talked about in primary school?
Then something has gone wrong.
Yeah, or you have just preserved the child within you Kind of saved your inner child and you can say that sometimes we discuss childish topics unicorns Soldiers legal.
Yeah, and sometimes I feel a bit immature With my friends immature like not an adult with my friends in my workplace Everywhere.
Yeah, so we have a mature When you feel like an adult mature behaving in a calm wise adult way actually Immature is c2 level Seriously, yeah, my word.
Look at me. I'm just coming out with all of this stuff For example, like she's 40 years old and you can say she is rather Immature for her age.
So she acts like a child Thank heavens.
No one would level that accusation against me Because I am not 40 I'm super super mature heart.
No, no, it's just the age and you can say that My friends and I talk about the future We discuss more grown -up things like finances marriage children So we discuss more grown -up topics grown -up things You can say we cheat chat about more grown -up things more mature things and we can also talk about online
Chatting and face to face So I prefer to talk to people online or face to face and we talk about growing up topics Which is to do with being mature What other grown -up topics can there be?
What kinds of English are acceptable to use in a podcast?
Depression. Oh my god.
Okay, maybe not what you call the spills Anti -depressants how to not get fat and miserable Well, I mean that's not difficult Why?
Why do we live our lives?
Aha, we could talk about elections when this episode goes out who will have won the United States election Yeah, maybe you discuss politics.
