Hello lovely, I'm Maria.
My name is Rory and we're the hosts of the Isle Speaking for Success Podcast.
The podcast teams tell you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills
along the way.
We've started this podcast to give you gorgeous grama.
Fabulous vocabulary for your high isle school.
No, I don't feel like this shirt.
But it's beautiful.
Oh my hair is a mess, oh my hair is not.
Maria, your hair is lovely.
Oh my god, stop fishing for compliments.
Sishing for compliments.
Ooh, let's talk about fishing.
Yes, do you listen up.
It's a comeback.
We had fish and fishing in 2020 and it's a comeback.
Let's talk about fishing.
Is fishing popular in your country?
I've discovered recently that it's quite common for people to go up north and go salmon
fishing there and then just on the other side of the water on the farther shore.
You see lots of guys going there with their fishing rods and keep nets.
So it seems like it's quite a common thing.
Do you like eating fish?
Oh yeah, I've always loved seafood.
My favourite is salmon.
Whether it's a steak or it's smoked salmon, it's immaterial.
I think I'd probably eat it for lunch and dinner, well every lunch and dinner if I could.
Have you ever been to a place where there are lots of fish around you?
Yeah, I went scuba diving in Pigey and I was surrounded by all sorts of sea life there.
There were sharks and rays and all sorts of fish darting in and out from the different
coral reefs as well.
And well, closer to home, there's also a sea life centre and that showcases the fish from
cooler climbs in much clearer water.
So if you're interested in that kind of thing then you can head there.
Have you seen any movies with lots of fish?
I used to watch and rewatch this National Geographic documentary on, well it's just life in
the Caribbean Sea in general but it also focused on the fish there.
And growing up I love the Jaws movies.
I think more recently.
Oh yeah, one of the last ones I saw were the piranha movies.
It's like a horror movie that showed different schools and shows of these killer fish.
Why do people go fishing?
Well, I mean the most obvious answer would be to catch fish but that's not exactly very
complex is it?
So in more depth, angling is quite a popular sport where I live so it could just be for
sport.
Or in some places it's like a way of life.
There's a, I think there's a tribe in Madagascar that I was reading about recently that
they've specialized everything about life in their village to be focused on harvesting
things from the sea.
So I can say for them it's a way of life.
We have our premium episodes for you.
Speaking part two and three where Rory and I give you super ideas, gorgeous grammar and
even more fabulous vocabulary.
This week in our premium episodes we discuss in speaking part two, ideal house and in speaking
part three we talk about accommodation.
Do check them out.
The link is in the description.
Hey, thank you for your answers.
Delisna, you don't need to fish for vocabulary or for ideas about fishing because we've
just given you all these fish for ideas.
In 2020 we had an episode about fishing fishing so it's a comeback.
So make sure you listen to our episodes in September 2020.
Oh my god, did we talk about this before?
Yes.
Wow, I do not remember that.
So maybe it's time for me to take a trip down memory lane.
A lot of people go salmon fishing.
Salmon is a type of fish.
We usually eat it in our sushi salmon, Ram-ram-ram, this is a nice fish and if you go fishing
to catch salmon, so you go salmon fishing.
Delisna, even if you don't go fishing you can imagine that oh yeah, okay, I'm interfishing
so why not?
Because it's easier to talk about fishing as if you enjoyed it.
There are some good spots, spots like fishing spots, places to catch fish, right?
Yeah, and I think the full collocation is actually fishing spots.
So guys, people with rods or men with rods because usually men go fishing, have you ever
seen girls?
Like a group of girls, like, oh hi, let's go fishing girls.
I have heard a theory about this and the reason why it's usually men is that they are
men that go fishing is because apparently it's an excuse to escape their house and go
and drink a lot while they're fishing.
Apparently.
Yeah.
But that's just a rumor, I don't know if that's true because I haven't been fishing in years.
What are keep nets?
Oh, keep nets are amazing.
So some people when they catch a fish they throw it back in the water but the risk of that
is you catch the same fish twice and that can be quite damaging to the fish in addition
to being a massive waste of time.
So instead what you do is you have a net next to you but it's not a shallow net, it's a
very deep net, it goes straight down and when you catch your fish you put it in this net
and it can swim around in the free space but it doesn't escape to the wider water and
that way you can show people how many fish you can catch and you also avoid damaging the
fish especially if you don't want to kill them.
Maybe you're just angling for sport.
So the word angling is a very nice word which is a synonym kind of synonym to fishing angling
the sport of catching fish.
See, so it's kind of a sport and a person who does it is an angler.
So like a person who's hobby is to catch fish so it's kind of like professional angling.
I'm an angler.
You can say, oh, I used to be an amateur angler.
Or oh yes, there are many anglers there.
So people who enjoy catching fish.
Why is it called angling?
I have no idea.
Don't bother.
It's like eating fish.
I enjoy eating fish.
I love seafood and here, Diel Esmeral, this is your show time.
You need some specific words about kinds of fish.
Rory just said salmon but come on, it's boring salmon.
Like you need some kind of a place.
No one likes eating a place.
No, a place is quite cool.
It's a really delicious salmon and a place is a kind of flat fish.
It's just kind of like this.
Yes.
You're not like a pancake.
They're flat and bony I think.
I don't think anybody would enjoy eating them, really?
I did.
Yes, I caught it myself.
So if you go to our Instagram, I post some stories about who you drawn a place.
You must have been hired to see because they're quite.
I don't think they live close to the shore.
Were you on a boat?
Yes, of course I wasn't a boat.
Well, no, sorry.
I mean a large boat in the ocean.
Yes.
This is what we're doing in Kamchatka.
That is cool.
Not some small rivers in Scotland, Rory.
Some proper boats and proper fishing.
All right, all right, whatever.
The point is that you can use some nice words.
For example, my favorite fish is trout or cod or sturgeon.
You see, Google it.
Look at the pictures.
Choose two words to impress the examiner.
Oh, yeah, my favorite is trout.
I enjoy grilled sturgeon.
Ben 9.
Okay, promise.
Two words.
You don't need all of them.
Don't just go like tuna salmon.
It's boring.
Give some proper fish names.
I have a challenge for you, actually.
You can find two weird fish and post their names in the chat.
I'll see if I know what they are.
I promise I won't.
Look, there you go.
Because my fish knowledge is pretty good.
Challenge Rory, find a crazy fish name and ask Rory Rory.
Doing all what Ruh-Ruh means.
Or where can you find this kind of fish?
I like a challenge.
Yes.
Don't be a clown fish.
I can't do this now.
Just write some crazy fish names.
Clown fish.
It was a joke.
But after my dad joke at the end of the episode, we will be clown fish, everybody.
Or dad from the cringe.
You can use the second conditional.
I'd have seafood for lunch and dinner if I could.
So I would have it if I could.
Like if I had the money, I'd have fish every day.
For example.
A place where there are lots of fish around you.
Rory, tell us.
Fish.
Is it fish?
There are lots of fish.
There is lots of fish.
Because it's just really fish confusing.
Well, if we're talking about many, then it should be there are lots of fish, surely.
Do we say there are lots of fishies?
You can, but it's not what I would say.
I think the word fishies is not in common use.
Usually we say there are lots of fish.
There are lots of fish.
Fish is delicious.
Okay?
And if you see many kinds of fish, we can say fishes.
But again, usually we say fish.
Or if it's a biblical reference.
Fish or sea life, I went scuba diving in Fiji and I was surrounded by all kinds of fish,
all kinds of species, species, kinds of fish.
Like rays.
There we go.
This flat thing is rays, sharks, coral reefs.
I think rays and sharks are actually related to each other.
They have a common ancestor.
And you can see this with sharks that live at the bottom of the ocean, they tend to be quite
flat.
And so you can see this shared body shape with the rays.
You can also lie, Delesna.
There are some very good spots to go fishing.
For example, the Bahamas.
I have googled it.
Or Costa Rica.
Me came.
Sicily, in Italy.
My so-goed Mediterranean fishing, Osscotland.
There are some flying fish there.
In Scotland.
Oh my God.
Yes, actually, this is true.
I was standing watching the sea with a friend the other day and this fish just leapt
out of the water.
So we do a flying fish.
A super strange question.
Movies with lots of fish.
Well, jaws, obviously.
And then you can go nerdy and say about National Geographic Documentaries.
I watch.
Why did you say schools of fish?
Schools of killer fish.
I did this on purpose because you see these two words for groups of fish.
You have a school of fish and a show of fish.
And if I'm right, it's a school of fish when they are moving.
But when they stop to feed, it's a show of fish.
Wow.
It's just banned 15 delesina seriously.
People go fishing to catch fish.
Not only that.
Okay?
Fishing, you can say, I go go do it.
Fishing is a unique way to get exercise.
So you can feel workout.
Fishing relieves stress.
Okay?
And fishing improves your concentration because you have to stare at the floating
thing.
Fishing float.
The mini boy.
Yeah, I was interested cause it fishing float.
Well, I'm calling it a mini boy.
And then you can use this word angling.
Remember, angling, like a sport to catch fish.
Angling is a popular sport in some communities.
There are many anglers in my region.
And there is a fishing community in Scotland.
Roy talked about Madagascar for some reason.
But well, Scotland is.
I don't know, Madagascar is like way far away from Scotland.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It just trickered a memory in me.
I remember watching these fishermen and they can swim underwater for like two minutes
without coming up for air, which is amazing.
I can barely manage 30 seconds.
So it's like their bodies have adapted to the water.
That's so cool.
Yeah, but they do this not to go fishing.
I don't know.
They free dive and they catch fish.
This nubs them with harpoons, I think, or with spears.
Oh, I see.
Very impressive.
So, Dillisn, are you ready for the joke?
I am not ready for the joke.
And Dillisn, if you listen to this episode super attentively and you understood some of
the vocabulary, you will get the joke and you will laugh.
Why a fish so smart?
Why?
Because they swim in schoolers.
They swim in school, Dillisn.
Did you get that?
Why a fish so smart?
Clever because they swim in schools as school of fish.
Right.
Thank you very much for watching, for listening, for buying our premium episodes.
Yes, we do have speaking part two and three.

Okay?
Bye.
