Oh, that's why it's your vote now.
SPEAKER_04I don't think you need this too much. I think I'll actually just make it work. It's allergic really impacted my life. The allergy allergic the other day I went to bed around 8 or something. I followed me pretty early. I was listening to some audio uh episodes and then uh fallen sleep. Then woke up at uh uh 12 shortly before 12 um and then uh got uh my notebook completely box. Um got the melodia.
SPEAKER_00That's not very good. Jesus Christ, are you mental?
SPEAKER_04What a day.
SPEAKER_00So what do you want to buy in river?
SPEAKER_01I wanna buy a protein bar. No, I wanna buy coke and I wanna buy the bubble bug.
SPEAKER_04Coke. You wanna buy Coke? Yes, Coke Zero. Nothing else. But the protein bar and the bubble gummer. Hey, last time I told you I wanted to buy fruit, you didn't bring me, okay? This is like the hypocrisy. It's okay if you're young enough, you can't give them house. Thank you, thank you. What was the plan we had yesterday? Go do something with my chica before school starts. We're gonna give something to like someone, but we didn't completely finish it yet. But we both came late, so it didn't work. Okay, I'm glad that I'm not the only person here late. Yeah, okay, fair. Do you not have allergies though? So I think I have something for notes.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I don't want to take that. I don't know why. I don't know why I don't want to take that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So my god.
SPEAKER_04But it's not only my notes, my eyes also hurts. Oh, this is very complicated because the doctor you have to identify your allergy source. It's already doing take some.
SPEAKER_00Oh no, I know.
SPEAKER_04They do those like weird quick tests, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't want to do that.
SPEAKER_04No, it's also very funny because when I came to Germany, the first seven years I have no problem. In China you don't get that. You only get that in Germany. But Germany is uh They said you only get that uh often in the country which is very clean. Yeah, yeah. Trump street areas you're wet. Yeah. I mean Japan or Germany, you don't get it in China. Yeah, okay. But then after seven years I live in Germany, your immune system with uh refreshed completely. So I lost my strong anti-allergic capitalist in China and then become a German.
SPEAKER_00Oh that's not very nice. Honestly, why would you done?
SPEAKER_04I feel like you're talking like uh uh AI. I mean it's not very nice. I'm not saying the I'm not lying anything. It's fish. I wouldn't wanna like imagine you're just suddenly allergic to to like gluten or something. I always uh uh uh get this uh uh TikTok kind of uh short videos and uh these girls they uh copy the different kind of YouTube copy different kind of uh accents. Like uh sometimes they're girls from California, sometimes they are uh older women from UK, sometimes they are like a French smoking woman. I see this one girl and she likes to replicate like movie characters. I don't know how she does it, but she sounds like exactly like like who uh who? Movie characters. Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, they can do that. Or like Marge Simpson or something, you know? Yes, yes. Some people are very very good at this. I'm not you can pop the British accent that's I don't know. I can't do an Australian accent. I don't know what they sound like, they sound British to me. It doesn't down on the what I learned in the past, uh, Australia they don't say date, they say die or something. Die.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04What are you doing on the spine dye? Yeah, something like that. So there's like the specific uh there was also uh the lady who always copies different accents. She also made a teaching lesson. This is this you have to pronounce it this way, and then this is the whole house because they have different uh rhythm as well, and it will be some like this. So she normally copies uh French, Indian, Indian also had very strong French, Indian, and British and American and Chinese. Yeah, okay, okay. Oh Chinese and Japanese as well. Japanese also have very strong oh yeah. They have really big problems with the L now. We don't have no like like light like you know Lifu? His name is Lipu Li Ku, yeah. Because L is an R. Yeah, that's uh Chinese many times when we say a word, we cut to the end. We don't say the completed words, we're always short, shorter than supposed. And also, our mouths don't open as big as America. Yeah, okay. That's a stark contrast right there. But British also, British. When you say British, yeah, your mouth is also pretty close. You're not British. No, one of my friends really likes British accents. Like all guys. I don't know. I don't get the appeal, guys. It's just so good for me. Mine is closer to American than British. Mine's Chinese accent, but happens. I don't actually know a Chinese accent to be fair. I'll show you. I uh I sent you if you open your way chatter, you can see I sent you a couple of uh uh shots from that lady.
SPEAKER_03I don't get notifications anymore. I don't know why the it's just no you didn't.
SPEAKER_04Oh yeah, you did. I did. I'll speak after that. No problem. I think the one you should copy the most I like the most is the French one. I can't read first, like I'll take French. Two blind lights dangerous. Don't help, but no, it doesn't help at all. It's box there. And it's below this, so it just doesn't help. Oh come on, why are you so short? Okay. I have to do this, but maybe it helps. Yeah. Because the first time when I tried to get my driving license, uh, the practical test, I failed because of this. Really? Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah, that's a bit mean though. It's not your fault you're short. Yeah, but still you should wear sunglasses. Sunglasses? Yeah. Uh you're not allowed to wear sunglasses. No, you can't. Really? Yes. Well, you're not allowed to wear masks, that's why I mask it, but sunglasses, yes. No, no, no. You cannot wear masks like some glasses. No, it's really it's very difficult for me to see this one. Uh I'll do it. So you can can you see it? Or is my hair just blocking out that? Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_03This one's insanely long.
SPEAKER_02Not anymore.
unknownNot anymore.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I cannot see straight, otherwise I could have gone to that line. Yeah, let's not do that. Because the one I drive, it actually sounded blinding to my eyes, and then I did not see the red line. Uh I crossed the line and my driver said, oh, now you can drive back. Yep, the test is over. No, that happened. Once I was driving with dad, and we got to this red light where the light was like right beside me. Yeah. Like right beside me, so dad couldn't see it. And the sun was shining onto the light, which means I couldn't see the light, it just all looked black. So I was just like really trying to guess the color. It didn't work. The car behind us scooped, honked. But like that's unfair because you're behind it, you can see the light better. There's like sorry.
SPEAKER_00Too much line, too much trouble. Goodbye, black.
SPEAKER_04Very nice song. Are you interested in the go to karate? No, you're not. I feel like if we had similar songs here, maybe. But I feel like you've just sing a bunch of Chinese songs. No, no, you don't need to go with me.
SPEAKER_03Oh no.
SPEAKER_04I mean maybe. Uh would your friend go by your show? Maybe, maybe. I don't know. One of my friends thinks she thinks she sings. Oh my god, I can't say that. To say that she sings? She thinks she sings very well, which means she sings very loudly, which means she sings over everyone, which means I got really annoyed after a time. Because why are you trying to brag about your mediocre singing? I'm legit so nervous enough.
SPEAKER_03But yeah.
SPEAKER_00So are we going to anything?
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_04Did you study hard?
SPEAKER_01For what?
SPEAKER_04Okay, to pay to school results. Yeah, for I already studied hard. My test grades are great. My worst grade this year was a three. And that's not because I didn't study, that's because of my my um grammatic and germ grammar and German. This is so mean. Why is she bullying me? Oh my god. Yeah, okay. I would not say my study result is great and you'll get a one point zone. Everything below. That's not my study result. That's my mint loose. That's different. I can't study for that. No, stop bullying me. I'm not bullying you. You're right. Oh, I haven't heard this in such a time.
SPEAKER_00Conventions. Yeah. Beautiful, Sunny, Caffrey, Adrian Girl's favorite.
SPEAKER_04Sorry. You know, have you ever watched Miraculous? No, what in Miraculous? It's like Lady Falcon Cat Noir. No? No? You didn't even see me watch out of the child. Kiki! Spots on! Dude, magic transition, they live in pairs, they fight villains.
SPEAKER_03Akuma! You can send me a link and I can draw it. Okay, I will. But how do you not know? This is sad.
SPEAKER_04You never told me that. You I was a child watching TV. You've never seen me watch TV. Maybe then maybe I I watch it. I just don't don't know. Don't yeah, if you show me, maybe I can there's this weird-looking lady, but okay, fine, I'll show you.
SPEAKER_00Leave. So you don't forget. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04The things I remember the most thing I tried to- Oh the Momo thing which uh oh my god. Leon got you scared him sick. That's crazy. Why? You know how hard it is to scare someone sick? Um, it was so scary. What do you mean? We watch YouTube like every single day. Then some girl comes and says, Yeah, you know how you've been watching YouTube every day. You're gonna die.
SPEAKER_00That's basically how you saw me one smack for a second, one smack, four, second, one snap, four snack.
SPEAKER_04So am I supposed to bring me back to school? You have to walk back. If I walk back, I'll be late. So like anyway. No? If I'm super sonic speed right now.
