Hello English learners, welcome back to EnglishPod.
My name is Marko.
And I'm Erika.
And today we're going to be bringing you a great lesson about calling the office.
Yeah, that's right.
So in this lesson, we're going to teach you some great words that you can use when you need to call your office to solve a problem.
Right, so you are at home.
You have a problem.
Maybe you can't go to the office, so you have to call them and tell them that you're not going to be able to go.
All right.
So we're not going to preview anything today because the dialogue is relatively easy.
So let's listen to the dialogue for the first time and then we'll come back and look at some words.
Hello.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Okay, and they, I'd say, and I'd say, I'm saying I'd say.
All right, so a pretty easy dialogue, right?
Yeah, pretty simple.
All right, so there are a couple of words that we want to look at, so let's start with language takeaway.
Language takeaway.
All right, well, today we're looking at three interesting words.
The first one is oufley.
Oufley.
Oufley.
Oufley.
Marco, what is the oufley?
All right, so when you have the oufley, it means that you are sick.
You have...
It's very similar to a cold.
Right, but just worse, right?
Worse, yeah.
So when you have the ufle, it'll keep you in bed for a while, for maybe a week or two.
So you have a fever, your body is hurting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're really sick.
Yeah, you're really sick.
Okay.
So, ufle.
All right, well, what about our next word?
Well, actually, the next word is a phrase that you can use when you're calling the office.
Alenke in ixe.
Alenke in ixe?
Okay, this is a really useful phrase and I think it would help us to hear some examples of what it sounds like so we can understand the meaning.
Example 1.
Example 2.
Example 3.
So with this phrase you're basically saying that you are not going to the office.
Exactly.
So let's take a look at our last word for language takeaway.
Ecoveray Ecoveray Ecoveray Ecoveray Okay, so it's a pretty simple word.
Ecoveray means?
To get better, to start feeling healthy again.
Okay, so kind of to recharge your batteries.
Exactly.
So this is a great verb to use when you want to say, I'm going to feel better.
Okay, ecoveray.
So some really great words, some really interesting phrases.
So let's listen to this dialogue again, and then we'll come back.
Hello, how are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine.

Okay, and I, Trey, and Edgar, I'm saying this, Trey.
All right, Marco, have you ever found yourself in a situation like this?
Well yeah, a couple of times that I haven't been able to really make it to the office and I've had to call.
So yeah, I would have to call and tell them that I'm not going to make it, or maybe that I'm going to be a little bit late.
All right.
Well, yeah, it happens to all of us.
And now you guys have all of this useful language next time you face this problem.
Exactly.
