INTRO

Mitch:

[0:22 ] Welcome to episode 48 of the Easy English Podcast. We're creeping into the 50 zone.

Isi:

[0:30 ] What do you have for us today, Mitch?

Mitch:

[0:32 ] Okay, so in the past, you've read out some articles or found articles to question me about my UK culture and my dialect. So now I thought I would point the finger back at you. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Britain, I thought that I would find an article about typical stereotypes, that foreigners have about British people and British culture, and ask you for your opinion now, are these stereotypes fact or fiction?

TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Mitch:

[1:33 ] Oh, yeah. Oh.

Isi:

[1:36 ] Fiction. Fact. Fiction. Fact.

Mitch:

[1:41 ] Stereotype number one. Brits love talking about the weather.

Isi:

[1:49 ] Fact.
