Intro

Isi:

[0:22] Hello.

Mitch:

[0:23] Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Easy English Podcast. We're back at it with Isi's episode today, a part two-a of co-living? Flatmates? - housemates, flatmate conversations.

Isi:

[0:40] Yes. I directly want to... No, let's start a bit easier. We're not going to the bathroom directly. If you didn't listen to part one, do that first.

Mitch:

[0:52] Yes, we covered the kitchen, as part of living with other people.

Isi:

[0:57] We covered broken things, and we covered the first day in the flat.

Mitch:

[1:02] Food, cleaning, the whole thing. Oh yeah, introductions, icebreakers.

Isi:

[1:08] I now want to talk about the 'quiet vs the loud flatmate'.

Intro

Mitch:

[0:22] Welcome to the Easy English Podcast.

Isi:

[0:26] Hello!

Mitch:

[0:26] Today...

Isi:

[0:28] I chose the topic again.

Mitch:

[0:30] Again. Taking the driver's seat.

Isi:

[0:33] You give me too much power.

Mitch:

[0:34] I'm constantly the passenger now.

Isi:

[0:38] You can leave us a message if that's a good thing. Maybe my topics are boring as hell.

Mitch:

[0:43] No, yest... the last one with couples was really good.

Isi:

[0:47] Well, now, I wanted to talk about something that we both have experiences with, where we can share some insight, not only into our experiences with it, mine will be from Germany and yours from the UK, but also, you can share some things about how that is working in the UK, because it's a bit different to how it's in Germany, I think. And that is, living together with flat, or housemates.

Mitch:

[1:15] Co-living.

Isi:

[1:16] Co-living, which is a big thing in the UK, at least when you study, but even afterwards.

Mitch:

[1:23] Yeah, especially if you are kind of a young professional, trying to climb the job ladder.

Isi:

[1:29] Or you live in London then it's all your life. - Or if you live in London, then you live with random people until you're 95. - Actually that sounds quite nice. So what I want to do, and we might make out of this, two podcasts, because I have a lot of topics. - Great. - I would like to go through different situations that you will face, while living together, with other people. And I thought we could, we can change it a bit. But first of all, I would like us to talk about it, if we have experience with that. How that was, share some personal stories. You can obviously share the British perspective. There's obviously a lot of new vocabulary that you can learn around living with people. Something that not in every country is common, but in lots of countries. Or maybe you come to the UK and you will live with somebody. And you are well prepared after this podcast, we hope. Or you don't want to do it any more.

Mitch:

[2:27] Yeah, you're put off completely.
