SPEAKER_02

Crazy mom, crazy. Applause. Applause. Okay, but okay, I I watched the episode and then I fall in love with the sound, so I started the episode. Chris Gamber. Oh. What's the name of that one? Queen's Gamble. Queen's Gamble, yeah. This is played at one of the end of the But every episode at the end they they change the song.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I love uh many of uh a couple of songs played again. Wednesday we're going to the cinema. Yeah. I hope it's not interrupting your study rhythm. It is. I would have some Friday. Oh, okay. Then I I can invite one of my friends in at WhatsApp. Oh. Well. If we think if you said hey, it's it's too much and you can't, then I I can also invite uh somebody else. I could have three years to study for chemistry and I would still find a way to fail somehow. No, I'm not joking. Don't be so I'm not joking. It's chemistry. That teacher wants you to quote her on every question. And even if you quote her, she'll tell you your answers too long. Yeah. I did that once.

SPEAKER_00

Oh no. Give me a note.

SPEAKER_02

I have four days to finish my second book and now I did the 60%. I still have 40%. Whoa, good job. But you read really fast in Chinese and still. That's first. The second nowadays I do both the audiobook and reading at the same time. So when I drive my car, drive home or from school to work, then I listen. Then I also read in between true. But listen takes longer than slower. They read like my English teacher wants me to read. But you read English very fast, right? No, I read English normal fast. I'm definitely not the fastest English. I read English so wow. So so I read German so fast. Chinese, yeah, I thought. I read Chinese super fast. I think that's because their characters are not. They're also shorter. So the same sentence in Chinese is way shorter than in English. I feel that. So when you have one major, you can scan through faster than two people. I like reading English though more than Germany. For sure, your English is better than German. It's like I like to read in Chinese more than English. But I have to say, because Chinese and English are such a different language, they have their own beauty. So like Chinese song has its own rhythm and beauty, and English song as well. But they're just different, they're different. You cannot compare, you cannot uh yeah. Like uh that's what my German teacher when I was in Red Cross with a Russian lady, very old Russian lady. The German teacher was a Russian lady related to Germany. But it's you know, sometimes it's also nice if the foreigners teach a formula because uh she knows what is struggle of the form. If you have a native speaker, sometimes it's why what you know because it means Spanish, yeah. He doesn't understand the struggle mode. He's like, bro, how do you not know this? It's so obvious, it's not obvious now, but I like my Red Cross the school because it's so diverse. Um we have people who never went to school. We have people who from Africa have six kids at home. You have a Russian lady, very hot people, married to a rich German man. You have all kinds of diversities that tell people, yeah. You know, so my Russian German uh teacher, the old lady, said uh if you learn a new language, you kind of like live a new life. Like every language brings you a different life experience, like a new type of life. It's a much easier way to say that in German or English, that's okay. I I have no idea what you're trying to get at. So sorry. Like a different way to live. Today and tomorrow my big closet on. Oh, aren't you happy? I have to get the all the logistics and the birth okay. What kind of flower is that you know? No, I don't, but they're pretty. Yeah, this is the cedar. Maybe they're like holding the fast bug and uh I went for job in the morning. There's so many of these uh type of uh soft blooming. Very pretty pretty well, oh my gosh, we have low sheep right now. That's the other Spanish too. What's his name? No mom. You know, technically in Spanish, I'm not even learning Spanish Spanish, I'm learning Argentinian Spanish, because now that's from Argentina, not Spain. Yeah, that's cool. Literally, when our Spanish change students came last year, he said hello to them and spoke a few words, and they're like, Oh my god, you're Latino! Like, how do you know? Um I think um there's a name for that for Spanish-speaking community. Spanish speaking no Spanish-speaking community. Sorry, sorry, you didn't mean to say um like um there's name for it. I learned that from school and uh from work and Latin. Um anyway, so one day they will explain to us the difference between Spanish Spanish and the Latin Spanish. Like you come from Spain or Mexico or Argentina or Chile, they're all different. I know few words like um bus instead of two. Uh girl.

SPEAKER_03

If I could write you a song to make you fall in love, I would already have you on my armor my tricks. I hope that you like this, but you probably won't. You think you're cooling me? You got to try to change just ever more. That's okay, take your time. I'm saying don't remember my name. It's probably gonna cool in. I think I got why do you wanna drive over the middle of the car? Yeah, uh yeah, mom. Wish me luck.

SPEAKER_02
