[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coral secretes limestone, which becomes their living shells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Layer upon layer of limestone is added and then compacted to form the coral reef we see today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello English learners, welcome back to EnglishPod, my name is Marco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, we are going to change or somebody wants to change their appearance and they're going to have surgery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so today we're gonna be talking about plastic surgery specifically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well basically plastic surgery is, you know, surgery for your appearance, right? It's not really for health reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, exactly. Alright, so we're gonna be talking about this. Let's listen to our dialogue for the first time and we'll be back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, we're back. So yeah, they think this girl really wants to get this surgery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On surgery. That's the worst reason. And it's pretty painful from what I hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so uhm, why don't we start with the words that we saw that are all related to surgery in Language Takeaway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so if a person is vain, this is an adjective, that means that they are very, they care too much about their appearance, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. And well, this person I think wanted to get surgery as well because she said she had wrinkles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so you would say you have, even you have wrinkly skin when you're in the bathtub for too long and you look in your hands, they look like raisins, you have wrinkly skin. That's right, wrinkles are little lines in your skin. Alright, and well you have wrinkles as you said around your mouth and eyes, and sometimes under your eyes you also have some sagging skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So that's called a facelift. So it's to kind of take away those wrinkles, right? Or the sagging skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. Alright, so this dialogue has a lot of rich vocabulary related to surgery, so why don't we listen to our dialogue again and we'll be back with the second part of language takeaway to explain a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so a tummy tuck. Well, what is that exactly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they sew you up. It's pretty painful, right? I've heard that. Usually this is because somebody got a liposuction, for example, and that's our next word, liposuction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So that's basically what they do. They open the person up and kind of use a sort of vacuum


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so yeaah, very, very dangerous procedure I've heard as well, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeaah, of course fat is also necessary for our bodies. Alright, so now moving back up to the face again, a very common procedure, I think one of the most common ones, is a nose job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that's right. So this is called a nose job or formally known as like a nose surgery, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Exactly, wow. I can't believe people do this. Alright, and well, the, one of the very common ones among women, most likely, is uhm, I hope so. are breast implants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, exactly. I guess, uh, many models and many, many types, different types of women get breast implants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. Alright, so why don't we listen to our dialogue for the last time and we'll be back to talk a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back. So as you mentioned, all of these surgeries are very painful and very expensive, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've heard also a lot about the plastic surgery tourism industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where people get offered a package for example to go to countries like Argentina where they have good doctors and it's very inexpensive compared to the states to get plastic surgery and it's also popular now in Asia I believe they're traveling to Hong Kong to get plastic surgery done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I know, it's a, but it's a, it's one of those things that, you know, if you have the money and you really feel that you want to improve your appearance, then, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is a little bit fake. Like for example, uh, but it does help people with their self-confidence, right? Sometimes, for example, with the case of breast implants, some women feel very, uh, very self-conscious about them having smaller breasts. They want to get bigger breasts and they feel more confident, happier, and you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stuff like this. So I guess if it helps and if you really want it, you know, everyone's to their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These volcanoes are more than 200 years away from the last eruption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are young volcanoes in China, but they have witnessed the birth of the Wudalian Chir scenic area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of it remained here, cooling and solidifying, forming a black-grey lava plateau, measuring hundreds of square kilometers wide, commonly known as the rock field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More lava flowed along the terrain, blocking the path of the river below, eventually forming five beaded lakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lakes are interconnected. Hence, they are known as the Wudalienchö, namely five connected lakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wudalienture, with its concentration of typical volcanic landforms, is a giant natural volcano museum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After hundreds of years, human beings, birds and animals and vegetation have together reshaped the appearance of this land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] South globe mountain has become the symbol of Wudalienture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only because it's the oldest of the 14 volcanoes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also because there is a naturally formed lake at its top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This volcano museum becomes a landscape beyond the imagination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a witcher, a professional monster slayer. An unusual contract to lift the curse that held a monarch's daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was enough to spend the night with the princess. Dusk till dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If only she were not a deadly beast. A Striga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The traitor responsible for the curse became the bait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though gravely wounded, the witcher lifted the curse and gained fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world changed with the coming of the Great War. The time of the sword and axe. The time of disdain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I am very powerful. I need a much heavier weapon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need a heavy weapon because I'm as strong as a god. I want one of yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You couldn't have beaten me without your spells. I saved your life. The cockatrice is no joke. Next time, you'll get beaten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were probably created by heaven and earth. You may be my student. You need a name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love learning from you. Wukong, you have been here a long time. What would you like to learn from me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can teach you how to tell the future. Would you like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pity, white wolf. Your language is like a stone axe. Ours like a beautiful viriladam sword.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Light in the hand as you perform palastras and crescent moon parries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Learning requires time. A young mind can master our language in a few years, but learning pilasters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If true, perhaps you won't need to learn it anew. I'll speak in elven. Maybe you'll understand.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A deep voice boomed. Wukong looked up. A large man was coming down from the sky. The apes and other monkeys ran and hid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong jumped onto a cloud to get out of the way. Erlang leaped into the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shook his body and suddenly grew much bigger. Wukong laughed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shook his body and grew just as big as Erlang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clouds swirled and wind blew as the two giants fought in the sky. Their weapons banged together all through the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were still fighting when the sun rose the next morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned himself into a spell and perched on a branch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned himself into a fish and swam in the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, a crane flew over the stream. The crane swooped down at the water. Its mouth was wide open. Wukong shot out of the stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong's eyes became windows and his mouth became a door. He turned his tail into a flagpole. A moment later, Erlang came down the hill. When he saw the temple, he scratched his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up in heaven, the Jade Emperor, the Queen, and Guanyin watched the chase. The sage Laozi came over to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Lausa. He took a metal ring off his arm.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Water, water. Don't make me choose. Don't make me choose. Don't make me choose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna feel the way that we did the summer night. Night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus in the sky. Drunk on the feeling for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Building, uh, along with the stars in the sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been running through the jungle. I've been running through the wolves to get to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get to you. To get to you. To get to you. To get to you. To get to you. To get to you. I've been down the darkest, darkest valley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the dark side of, side of room to get to you, to get to you. Once again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lai, lai, lai, lai.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk too much. Talk too much. Too easy the anger. All for you. Yea, all for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your eyes, there's a, there's a, there's a heavy blue, one to love and one to lose. So we divide, we divide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A heavy truth, whatever, whatever wine, don't make me choose. I want to feel the way that we did that summer night, night drunk on the feeling, the love with the stars in the sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Geralt. I have a new home. It's nicer than Vizima was. It's just that I missed you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One is really beautiful, but she argued with Mr. Tobias. Can we play kill the elf?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not Alina. All the kids play it. I'm always the Grand Master.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told some terrible stories. I thought him delirious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard cries and people falling down the stairs and I smelt burnt meat. Then more men came through the windows on ropes. They got Triss and beat her, I think. And a man in glasses asked her where I was. She said she teleported me to a friend in Kuvir where the air is clean and there are many things to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one in glasses said something about playing with her, and Triss said you would find him and kill him!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ran, and they chased me, and I was running so fast. But then I tripped, and they caught me. They put a sack on my head and led me somewhere. I was scared. More than in the outskirts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's happy. She has no concern for her younger sister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elena doesn't deserve happiness. Ooh, how I hate that nymphette!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now she's ensnared Julian, a wealthy town merchant, while she wanders about with her nose in the clouds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Admit it, she's dazzled you. Oh, how I despise her. She'll not have you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show me. It must be more beautiful than Alina's engagement ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the ring? So be it. I'll show Alina I can have any man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understand, a gentleman must court a lady, am I right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that we know each other better, you should take the initiative


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Merky waters? We live in seclusion. Tobias Hoffman leads us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He lives in the village but prepares for a wedding. So likely has no time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lake waters engulfed the underwater city. Some say the gods were angered by debauchery. Now the Vaudeanoi inhabit the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's in the corral between the houses. Our pride and joy. She's made murky waters famous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Selina can be unbearable, but she'll change if she marries. And Julian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without him knowing or thinking I was concerned. Thank you, Witcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he's not in the village, check the fairy tale ruins nearby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see her in the fields, dancing in sunlight, searching. She tells me to help, but I know we won't find anything. When I wake, I can't breathe, and feel bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Villagers say Berengar is afraid to kill some giant fish. Not you. I wanna be a witcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the Devourer's Teeth, I need ten for a love potion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Witches live outside villages as they always have. You must accept that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sealed my chimney and ever since it's either cold as winter or foggy as fall in here. I wager work on the bridge isn't progressing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unruly Griggs indeed. Doubtless he tried to avenge himself and they've taken offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another tribe of Griggs inhabits the crypt in the fields. Evil sort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This tribe stole the greatest treasure of our Griggs, a cat harness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed. Like humans ride horses, grigs ride cats. Go to that crypt and recover the harness, then return to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In their chapel, which resembles a miniature sculpture of a saint, like the ones they place at crossroads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could say I read it in some chicken entrails but the truth is more trite. A certain Grig has fallen in love with me. He informs me of happenings in the area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see her in the fields, dancing in sunlight, searching. She tells me to help, but I know we won't find anything. When I wake, I can't breathe, and feel bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now take the harness to the chapel of our Greeks. It stands just by the bridge, a small red santon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Return the following day to see if the Griggs accepted the gift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will leave you a gift of value, symbolizing friendship or joy. If Harun keeps this gift with him, the Grigs won't trouble him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greetings to the honorable gentleman. You are?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you're looking for trouble? It's no m-matter to me, y-you have a deal? These d-damned undead are my concern. They scare customers off and d-d-destroy my crates. And this is a valuable shipment for a special client.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Squirrels. Young non-humans. Freedom fighters. Those who deal with them are hanged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You knew too? He likely told you to wait like us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's have our way with this little chicky. It so happens that this lady is with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen carefully, Vat'Gurn. We're part of a 20 elf unit. Our brothers suffer from disease and hunger. These crates contain food, medicine, and weapons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We want them now, for we can't approach the Zeema's walls everyday. I guess I see your point. Good. We have no choice. But you do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Willing to die for their greedy Dwan? You're not one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to the bubbling waters, the whispering of the trees, look at the waving grains, the smiling people. You'll sense it too. I think I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Find the tomb of the Elven Songmaster. Objects belonging to him in life must lie in or near his sarcophagus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, we are going to take our clothes to the dry cleaners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so that's when you take your clothes to a professional who doesn't only wash them, right? You don't just put water and soap on it. They actually put some special chemicals and use special machines to get very hard to remove stains from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. Alright, well I mentioned that we take them to the dry cleaners because we want to remove stains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My pants are stained and I can't wear them again. Again, now that's also, you can also use it as a verb. I stained my pants. Alright. So it's a verb, it's a noun, and an adjective, all in one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, spilled. Now it's pronounced differently from spell, right? That's right, spill. Alright, now our next word is also a noun and a verb, to iron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gets very hot. So you wash your shirts, for example, and your shirts are wrinkled because you just washed them. So you need to iron them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and well usually if you take them to the dry cleaners they will iron them and also starch them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the noun or the chemical is also called starch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. So those are five key words for the dialogue today. Let's listen to the dialogue again, and we'll be back with Fluency Builder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back now, so let's take a look at Fluency Builder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and he said that he needed the suit ASAP and he said I can have it ready by the end of the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I can say the end of the week or the end of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. Okay, so great phrases there as well. Let's listen to the dialogue for the last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright we're back so now, dry cleaning, ironing, are you good at this or do you get a lot of your clothes dry cleaned?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually find it very frustrating. Really? Why is that? Because I, I can't really iron well because I, you know, I start on one side and I'm getting all the lines out and then the other side gets wrinkled or, you know, lines appear where I don't want them to appear. It's very frustrating for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so that's all the time we have for today. If you have any questions or comments, you can visit our comments section on EnglishPod.com and we'll see you guys there. Bye everyone. Bye.

[Assistant] How can you tell that the seasons are changing during this story?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Share your ideas with a partner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my name is Katherine and today we have an advanced media level lesson, so that's the very highest of our levels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, I'm not sure what the Canadian date is, but Americans celebrate it at the end of November. The day changes every year because it's a Thursday, but we usually have the day off from work or school and we all eat together and celebrate the year and celebrate the harvest and celebrate, uh, our families and friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well we actually celebrate the first harvest that the pilgrims had when they were right off the boat in New England. So that's the eastern part of America. These people had come from England and they were trying to find a new land and a new life and they ended up in the Massachusetts area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone was able to grow, it was actually a year after they arrived, everyone was able to grow corn and food and crops and then they all shared a meal together to celebrate this wonderful occasion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it actually helped them survive the winter because most of the pilgrims, most of the settlers, they died during the first winter. And so this was a really great, great thing for them. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so turkey is a very big bird, and they go gobble gobble gobble gobble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have that kind of really red long kind of thing on their necks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And big tail or big tail feathers. And they're delicious. But the funny thing is about turkey that there's a chemical in it that makes you very sleepy. Well not a chemical, there's a protein in it that makes you very sleepy. Oh really? I didn't know that. So the joke is that after you eat dinner on Thanksgiving everyone falls asleep on the sofa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly and it's a way to celebrate, well to give thanks for all the things that you have and so we like to give, like to cook a lot of food to celebrate that and they're all fall foods. So squash, pumpkin, uh, potatoes, things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mouth-watering, so this is a way to say appetizing. You know when you see something delicious on TV and mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your mouth starts to, to water. You're salivating. That means that your, your brain is telling you that you want to eat it. Right. And so your mouth starts to water. So we say that something that's very appetizing, something that looks like it will taste very, very good, it's mouthwash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the thing about whiskeys is that often times on the label of a bottle, they'll advertise how old the whisky is because you pay more for older whiskeys. They just, they have better taste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That hit the spot. What spot? The spot. Okay so this is a really common phrase in English that we use to say that something is very satisfying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you could use it for food or anything really. So in this case, uhm, I could say, oh, so hungry that sandwich really hit the spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this is a, this is really interesting. We talk about the turkey often times when we're making commercials or talking about recipes as the bird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you want to take out the bird and you want to open the packaging. So the bird is the turkey. Turkey is a kind of bird. Uhm, you can say this about chicken as well because it's another kind of bird, but this is a kind of a colloquial term in cooking for whatever bird you're cooking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so in our ovens, an oven is, uh, it's a kitchen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and you, you don't have a shelf because that would be a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and uhm, this is a verb we often use with eggs, so to whisk eggs, uh, you can also whisk, like, uhm, sauce for a salad, so like a salad dressing, but it's a way that we stir something, and so often times we have an instrument called a whisk,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That uhm, that's not like a fork. It actually looks kinda funny. It's got bars on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and they are very thin wires, and you usually stir very very very quickly. Especially if you have eggs, this will break up the egg, and it becomes kind of like foamy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so to whisk is a kind of, it's a way to stir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so this adjective graded means that, well it's a kind of way to cut up something, and so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you often hear the term graded cheese. That means not a big chunk of cheese, but we push it against the board to get little pieces of it to fall off. And that's called graded cheese. And so in this case we have graded nutmeg. That means that it's been kind of

[Assistant] It's a wonderful experience to, to have Thanksgiving because you're with everybody and we always say in America that if someone doesn't have a place to go on Thanksgiving, you should invite them to your house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so it's a very inviting and warm holiday and I love cooking and I love being in the kitchen and I love having people in the house cooking and so yeaah, I've definitely been a part of the cooking side of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We look forward to hearing what you have to say and happy Thanksgiving.

[Assistant] On an important mission for the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I too wish to offer Foltest my services as an advisor in these difficult times. Sadly, I could not get through Burning Vizima. I need to get to the monastery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have learned much about a phenomenon of interest to you. The Wild Hunt. Tell me. In folk culture, the king of the Wild Hunt embodies death. He's the one who takes away souls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Wild Hunt is an omen of war and tragedy. It has oft been seen recently near Vizima. Beware.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West. Chapter 51. Guan Yin becomes angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bajie didn't know Guanyin was really red boy in disguise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bajie and the fake Guan Yin flew to Red Boy's cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey turned himself into a bee and flew up the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey flew out of the cave and told Wu Jing what he'd just learned. Then he jumped onto a cloud and headed south.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong, why are you here? Asked Guan Yin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The turtle came onto the shore and bowed its head. Go down and get the vase, Wukong, said Guan Yin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey ran down the mountain and tried to pick up the vase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it. I love plants and know them well. I spent my life dealing in bloodshed. Now's my chance for peace and quiet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazing how honest toil can stir the appetite. Thank you, witcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the war, I served as a mercenary and a pretty kitty herself. You've heard what a warrior she was. What a woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw half the world as a member of Pretty Kitty's Cora Mercenaries. We even went to Zericania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We massacred the natives while Zerocania massacred us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have flies there that creep up your nose at night and lay eggs. Then the larvae eat your brain and crawl out your eyes once they mature into flies. Disgusting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of us died thus. There were also diseases, venomous spiders and snakes, and many other afflictions I can't even name. I even saw a striped horse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After almost eight months of fighting the jungle, we had to retreat. Impossible to win a war if you can't locate your enemy. It was the only defeat Pretty Kitty ever suffered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the dust had settled, our men had beaten the Nilf guardians. We ceased to call ourselves an imperial province that day. You captured the sword during the battle? Yes. It was Witcher Coens. A strapping fellow and a rare breed. Not very talkative, mind you. Like most of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gave my word the sword would find another witcher. As he lay dying, he mumbled about teeth and destiny. Then he laughed at his own death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose he distilled the fifth essence and dusted the philosopher's stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A princess up top, dragon below? Thanks, but I'll pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you know about my silver sword? What, me? A simple dwarf? Shani insisted your knowledge of weapons is unequal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mage lived there until he disappeared, most likely dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kalkstein, don't get worked up until I find the stones, which won't be easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A prisoner died recently. Is he in the cemetery already?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you hand over the prisoner's body for an autopsy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those wounds are too obvious. I suspect something more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of Oxford, what did Dandelion actually interrupt?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Focus question. Where can you see bubbles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People make bubbles with soap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Connections Writing and Art


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is your favorite way to make bubbles? Draw a picture and write about it. Science. How are all bubbles the same? How can bubbles be different? Share your ideas with a partner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would take a lot of magic to lift you, Bajie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tiger Immortal must have used magic to put this flea here. That rotten cheater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tiger Immortal was just an evil tiger spirit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 53, The Man in the Canoe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From behind Guan Yin, Wukong peeked at Red Boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demon was trapped by the swords all pointed at his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bodhisattva, watch out! cried Wukong. Red boy charged toward Guanyin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey was about to strike the demon when Guan Yin held up five metal bands. She threw them at Red Boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evil demon! said Guan Yin. How dare you try to attack me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unable to move, Red Boy glared at Guan Yin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong raised his iron bar to strike him. No Wukong, said Guanyin. Don't hurt the demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] said the monkey. Guanyin took the vase down to earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong went into Red Boy's cave and freed the Tang monk. Then he found Bajie and freed him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three of them went down the mountain and found Wu Jing. The group continued west. They traveled for weeks and then months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something about the man didn't look quite right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey was about to say something when Bajie stepped forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it was about halfway across, Wukong noticed something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll all be stuck here, forced to work for the Tiger Immortal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that happens, we'll never reach the western paradise. The true scriptures will never get to the Tang Empire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as you can see, my canoe is not very big. I can take only two passengers at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Order decimated us when we battled in the swamp. I know you had a hand in that. Yet you're alive. I still hope you'll come to understand who you are and choose the righteous path. Who would you say I am? You're no human, Geralt. Sooner or later, the Order will remind you of that. We'll see. In due course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing here? Why aren't you with your elves?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The droid's grove acts as a sanctuary where I can quietly think. Lay plans. My going to Vizima presents an unnecessary risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of the unit in Cyberzema is accomplishing plenty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lara Doran, Ep Sheerdal was an elven sorceress, an N7, a knowing one. She carried Hen Ikir, Elderblood, which puzzles even us elves. As fate would have it, Lara fell in love with a human sorcerer, Kregennan of Lod. Other humans could not bear it and began persecuting them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They became outcasts shunned by all around them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Begging mercy, not for her, but for her unborn child, grabbed the door of the royal carriage. At the king's behest, a man at arms lashed out with his cutlass, severing her fingers. She fled the city, sought shelter in a forest. When night descended and the frosts came, Lara faded on a hill amidst the trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She gave birth to a daughter whom she protected with what warmth remained in her waning body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? I assume you don't mean ideology and the like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was honest and courteous respected all their ridiculous customs and laws assimilation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lit that word for years, and during that time I was cheated, sneered at,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On occasion beaten and robbed. I felt no hatred for humans. In fact, I felt better than them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told myself they were simply incapable of controlling their weaknesses, their flaws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was robbed three times as often as others. Racist slogans were painted on my door in excrement. For years I wondered why. Was I doing something wrong? What could I do to bring peace to my life? And you know what I came to understand? No, but I'm sure you'll tell me. I was doing nothing wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been lying to myself from the outset, just as the moon will never catch the sun. So humans will never change. They will remain egotistical, envious, petty and fearful of anything they don't understand. And believe me, there's plenty. Matters proceeded quickly thereafter. But that's another story. Now you resemble humans. No, Geralt, definitely not. And you, witcher? Who are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You too have experienced human ignorance and hatred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evolution makes no allowance for sterile mutants. No offense. Think about it, Geralt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kidmil, thank you for your help, Wolf. My payment? Three hundred orans. And forget what you saw, Dwan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You chose for me when you raised your arm against us. At him!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hungry. I'll find a village and beg for some food for you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can leap over this river but I can't take you with me. Why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you must make the journey all by yourself. I can only protect you. I can't carry you. What will we do then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some rain. You couldn't even summon one drop. I'll try again!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wonderful. Now all the Buddhist monks will be free. And we can continue our journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's in the box? I think it's a peach pit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's alright, I'm terribly bored since Papa caught the troubadour dandelion here. No one sees me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why should I give up the loot? After all, Dandelion won't come to see me anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I give it to you, he'll use it to serenade some other... victim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard once that a witch's touch is, uhm, special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everyone and welcome back to EnglishPod, my name is Marco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, today we are going to talk about an interesting topic, especially for women. We are going to the nail salon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so if you go to a nail salon, it's a specific place where they paint your nails, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanna go get your hair cut, you would go to the hair salon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good, so why don't we listen to our dialogue for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back, so now we found some very interesting and specific words related to nails, so why don't we look at those now on Language Takeaway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, manicure. And what exactly is a manicure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, eh, they basically take care of your, of your nails, of your fingernails. A manicure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, very good. And well, we talked about painting, uh, your nails and that paint has a specific name, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, very good. And well, moving on, we talked about a manicure and there's a specific word for the person that provides this service, that takes care of your nails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. And well, manicurists, they perform a manicure. And well, apart from painting your nails, they also, uhm, push your cuticles or remove your cuticles like in the dialogue. What are the cuticles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. So if you look at your fingernails now, you will see a little thin layer of skin on your fingernail. That's the cuticle. And well, apart from removing your cuticles and painting your nails, they will also file your nails. And this is a verb, to file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now there's also a noun for this, a nail file. And most women will usually have it. It's a, uh, it's a long piece of cardboard that has a paper that's kind of like sand on it, kind of like sandpaper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so those are the words we have for language takeaway. Why don't we take a look at our dialogue again, and we'll be back in a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back, so now why don't we start with some phrases, some very good phrases that we found in this dialogue in Fluency Builder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I'm going to get my nails done, or you got your nails done. Very good. And well, the woman was talking about why she likes to go get a manicure, and she said that she likes to pamper herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so if you go get a manicure, it's kind of like pampering yourself or maybe going to a spa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a synonym would be to spoil. To spoil oneself, to pamper. Indulge, okay. So, and, uh, well, she was talking about how they, they perform a manicure, and she talked about four coats of nail polish. So, a coat, we know that it's kind of like a jacket, right? But in this case?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so it's not only for nails, but if you're painting your house, maybe you need two or three coats of paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. Very interesting phrases. Let's take a look at this dialogue for the very last time, and we'll be back shortly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and I think one of the words that we didn't talk about here but it's very, I don't know, for men it's kind of a strange smell is nail polish remover. The acetone, right? It's a very strong chemical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well if you guys have any questions, any doubts, or any suggestions about this lesson or any other lesson, please come to our website, EnglishPod.com, and we'll see you guys there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My lover, whom I've never forgotten, called you friend. He perished helping you battle a powerful foe. But that was long ago. What brings you here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I realize my clients dreams, leaving them relaxed and content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fulfill their dreams. If only for a brief moment. And dreams are priceless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't concern yourself with that. I appreciate that at his death he had friends. True friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm no ordinary girl. I can prove it. Simply ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With pleasure, white haired one. But you must first make a contribution to the house of the night. A near 500 orans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patience. First a hot bath. Then your dreams will come true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can name quite a few ordinary animals that leave marks such as those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sensed that when I drank her blood. What are you looking at?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My daughters and I drink our customers' blood. We never kill. Their blood pays for our services. Everyone profits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In her dreams, fantasies, she yearned for freedom and eternal beauty. We're not monsters, Geralt. I'll offer you a deal. One night with my daughters in exchange for peace. For forgetting this entire matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone will die. You, me, the blue-eyed girl? Would it be right to choose death? Even the death of a vampire?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no spell. Your sister is here of her own volition. She was unwilling to spend her life washing dishes and spreading her legs for a rotting old man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I regret this had to end so. These men doubtless promised you gold. I could grant you a share of my profits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, business will return to normal. We simply need to clear the corpses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She'll do as she pleases. We'll let her rest for a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must choose it at times to avoid the greater evil that lurks in the darkness. Was my first time witnessing a witch's sword in action. I've no desire to see more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally he got his just desserts. That fool nearly ruined my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None. You have no idea what horrors I experienced before escaping him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you forgotten me? Much time has passed since our encounter at the end of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter. I am called Teruvial, and I am pleased to find you again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Dol Bladana, the Valley of the Flowers. A most beautiful place. I granted Dandelion the loot he now plays. Meeting you changed me. I once hated humans without exception. Your words planted doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed. We're wounded and hungry. Negotiations with the peasants went poorly. Our dignity is all we have left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could buy fresh bread. 20 oranges should cover 5 loaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Santa already came and left all our presents. Can we go open them please? Please? Of course we can, honey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Santa already came and left all our presents. Can we go open them, please? Please? Of course we can, honey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm home. Everyone come here. I bought a Christmas tree. Look at this beautiful pine tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome, I'll go get the Christmas lights. Of course it will. Help me put it in the living room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great idea! While we decorate the tree, we can listen to some good old Christmas songs!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm home! Everyone come here! I bought a Christmas tree! Look at this beautiful pine tree!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome! I'll go get the Christmas lights!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course it will. Help me put it in the living room. I found the lights!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great idea! While we decorate the tree, we can listen to some good old Christmas songs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm home. Everyone come here. I bought a Christmas tree. Look at this beautiful pine tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome, I'll go get the Christmas lights. Of course it will. Help me put it in the living room.

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 69, The Stabbing Pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the distance, the monkey saw dark clouds speeding toward a mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shouted Wukong, ignoring her questions. The woman laughed. Don't tell me what to do!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The woman spun around fast, blocking his iron bar and striking back with fury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bajie and Wu Jing stared after Wukong in shock. The woman went back into her cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They went down the mountain and found the monkey crouching by a stream. He was still holding his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong lowered his hands. There was no injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pig hit the door with his rake. SMASH! The door exploded. The woman ran outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The woman spun around faster and faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bajie and Wu Jing tried to strike her with their weapons, but the woman was too fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong raised his iron bar, waiting for a good moment to strike. Suddenly, Baxie cried out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The woman spun toward Wukong and Wuxing. They turned and ran back down the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bajie was huddled on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right, said Wukong. Let's go back up there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A voice called out. Wait! It was Guan Yin. The Bodhisattva was walking toward the group. Beware of that scorpion spirit!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am scared to get a haircut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snip, snip, some hair comes off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shorter, please, I say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Draw two pictures and write about how you changed. Math


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make a class graph that shows the different colors or lengths of your classmate's hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed. Here. Pour a drop of my blood onto the altar. Challenge Dagon to a duel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cease treating me like a goddess. I have enough worshipers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I judge them not. Let's return to your desire to help. Begin by paying me a compliment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Distant and cold. Weak, Witcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet your voice betrays that tone so typical of males, who think they may treat their lovers as property.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're too old to take offense. Not everyone can master the bedroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I jest. It wasn't that bad. Now we are even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Destiny has brought you here. We must speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am a goddess. You are the sword of destiny. Death has followed you for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You traveled a long path fraught with danger. You demonstrated courage and goodness. By divine power, I hereby knight you. Face your enemies without fear. Safeguard the helpless. Never lie, even if it means your death. That is your oath. Arise a knight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go white wolf and do what must be done. May you fulfill your destiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 55, The Monks and the Cart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a quick breakfast the group started walking. They went through a valley and over some hills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw a group of Buddhist monks pushing a cart up a steep hill. The cart was loaded with big stones. The monks looked miserable. Their robes were dirty and ripped. Two Taoist priests stood nearby. They were dressed in fine clothes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, said Wukong, walking toward the group of monks. Why are you pushing this cart?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The month stopped pushing the cart and turned toward Wukong. They looked surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? Wukong raised an eyebrow. Who is going to save you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recognize him if you see him. Asked Wukong, trying not to laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 70, The Star Lord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little while later, Wukong stood at the southern gate of heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guard told Wukong the way to the Star Lord's palace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few minutes later, the monkey knocked on the palace door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong led the Star Lord out of heaven and down to earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They landed on the mountain, where Bajie was still rubbing his nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Wukong. The Star Lord looked at Bajie's nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bajie walked over to the Star Lord, who then blew on the pig's nose. The injury healed instantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he ran as fast as he could away from the cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The woman rushed out of the cave, spinning wildly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly the Star Lord turned into an enormous rooster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A quarter is 25 cents. How many cents is a half dollar? A half dollar is 50 cents. How many cents is a dollar? A dollar is 100 cents. A dollar bill is easy to carry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One hundred pennies are hard to carry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That demon had taken over my house and river. Thank you for getting rid of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't need to make a boat. I can take the travelers across the river. That's wonderful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're traveling to the western paradise to get scriptures from Buddha. I knew you would cross my river eventually. Climb onto my shell!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me, but can you do me a favor? Of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have been a good Buddhist for over a thousand years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you ask Buddha when I will be reborn as a human?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True, but the king has placed me under his, uhm, protection. Tell me, where's Alvin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vanished? That's awful. He might be anywhere in time and space. I'd hoped the amulet would block those abilities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could breed horses and sheep. I'd tend the garden, cook meals. We'd sell what we grew to buy copper pots, iron rakes. We'd age with dignity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here. These are trying times. We just need to survive. We can dream again when the madness passes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frankly, I never guessed he'd bypass the dimeridium. That would be a feat for many sorcerers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly he has enough power to teleport himself anywhere, perhaps even through time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's a Striga Geralt. We both know that curses don't cast themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Years ago when you first removed the curse, you ordered the princess to wear a necklace with an inclusion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Juniper, broom, and hazel branches were to be burned in her chambers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, someone close to her who knew the secret. Valorad might know something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. In a sense, I'm a political prisoner. I could teleport away, but that would be highly inappropriate, and I still have a few matters to settle here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't tell you. For the time being my position is tenuous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you help Voltis with the Striga, maybe you could vouch for me. I could resolve a few things and go free. How about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking into account these factors and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a 10% raise and an extra 5 days of vacation time. How does that sound? Great! It's a deal. Thank you, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking into account these factors and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a 10% raise and an extra 5 days of vacation time. How does that sound?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking into account these factors and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a 10% raise and an extra 5 days of vacation time. How does that sound?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Catherine and today Marco and I have an elementary level lesson for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. So the new year is the time to change parts of your life maybe. So that's what we're going to talk about today. Let's listen to this dialogue three times. And when we come back, we'll be talking about the words and phrases in the dialogue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, so if you think about it, it's a new chapter in your life or a new, uh, adventure or something like that. Maybe you're going to quit your job, turn over a new leaf, start a new job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, when I think about this phrase, I think about a chalkboard, okay? So a slate is like a chalkboard. And all of the things that you've done, good and bad, are on that chalkboard. And to wipe the slate clean means to erase those words, erase those things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So perhaps Marco and I fight all the time and we're angry at each other. Finally I say listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well in this case, you got it means you're right exactly, you understand what I'm talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, uh, I'm trying to explain to you maybe, Marco, something very difficult, like, uhm, you know, if you add four and ten, you get fourteen, uhm, but what if you add ten more?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pinching, that sounds painful. Right. Okay, pinching is something you do, especially when you're a child, uh, you, you squeeze the skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you quit smoking, Marco, and I quit smoking. I'm with you on that. I think it's a good idea. If I'm with you on that one, it means I agree with you. You're doing the right thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, someone's not really hiding in the closet. This is a phrase we use to describe someone who is gay or lesbian, who is, who has a secret about being gay or lesbian. So when they come out of the closet, they're telling their friends and family for the first time that this is what, this is how they feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, well it's because in English oftentimes a closet is a place where we keep secrets. Okay, and so to come out of the closet means to, uh, to share your secrets with people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, and we don't say it about being straight, which is the opposite, which is uhm, men who love women and women who love men. You don't say it about coming out of the closet there, you say it about being gay or lesbian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, well the new year you can use a new calendar, you can take a fresh perspective on your life, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's refreshing and I think it's good that we do this. We evaluate the things that make us happy and we evaluate the things that make us unhappy. And part of that means turning over a new leaf. Part of it also means apologizing to people. Right. Or trying to make the relationships in your life healthier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, so we're curious about your New Year's resolutions. Are you going to be wiping any slates clean? Are you going to be doing anything differently this year? Let us know on our website, EnglishPod.com. We look forward to hearing from you and until next time. Bye everyone. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went down to check it out and found a wonderful Buddhist robe. I think it's a Buddhist treasure. Anyway, I stole it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So tonight, I'm throwing a feast to celebrate!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How dare you pound on my door and yell at me? He cried. You stole my master's robe, said Wukong. I can do whatever I want, said the bear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to take a break. It's time for my lunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as that head priest tried to do, they might harm the Tang monk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lesson 15. Your passports, please. Are you Swedish?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mount Sumeru, said Wukong. The Bodhisattva Linji lives there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe he can help me deal with the Iron Immortal. He was able to stop the Great King Yellow Wind's wind magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm in your stomach now! And I won't stop punching and kicking until you give me that fan! Woof pow!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two priests pushed the Tang monk toward the enormous frying pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the monkey. He gave Bajie a nasty look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be quiet, Bajie! said Wukong. I'm not lying! The Great Immortal thought for a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong shot out of the abbey and was gone. Bajie shook his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guan Yin was meditating in her pagoda. Bodhisattva! cried the monkey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened to the tree? asked Guanyin. She gave the monkey a suspicious look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Must learn to control your anger, said Guan Yin. The Bodhisattva stood up. She went to a shelf and grabbed a vase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A short while later, Wukong and Guan Yin arrived at the abbey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guan Yin told Wukong, Bajie, and Wu Jing to stand the tree back up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wanyan rose into the air and poured the dew over the ginseng tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the dew droplets rolled over the branches, light sparkled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon the tree looked just as it had the day before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To thank everyone, the Great Immortal decided to host a feast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, Everyone went back into the abbey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two priests brought in trays of ginseng fruits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry about it, said the monkey. He took a bite of his fruit. The Tang monk looked nervously at his fruit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's safe to eat, Guan Yin assured him. The monk took a bite and smiled. He looked at the ginseng fruit again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next morning, the travelers headed west along the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On this day, she sniffed the air and smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is one of those songs that you hear everywhere, but unlike Jingle Bells, which is like, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells. Right. Not, you know, very cheery and uplifting and shopping music. This is more, as Marco said, calm, peaceful, almost church music, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first of all, some background. Okay, so the 24th, the evening, Mary and Joseph are looking for a place to stay. Mary, the virgin mother of God, is going to give birth to a baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so what the song is celebrating is what happens afterwards after the baby Jesus is born. So that's the way we are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we talk about bright light sometimes. Something is bright if it gives a lot of light off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So round comes from around. Okay. Yawn means over there. So around over there. So over there we've got two people. Okay. Over there we've got the virgin mother and her child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An infant is a baby, some baby that's just been born, so we can say that infants are very, very


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Delicate, you have to be very careful when you hold an infant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you talk about tender things when you're talking about things that are soft, okay, delicate, gentle, or sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And something that is mild or someone that is mild is very quiet and calm and gentle. So not making much noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the baby's quiet because the baby's sleeping. So you're saying sleep and heavenly peace. That means, you know, may the peace of heaven, because heaven is a very peaceful place, the most peaceful place, may that peace be with you when you're sleeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So shepherds quake, they're nervous at the sight, well, the sight is the noun for seeing something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the verb here, the action word is to stream. To stream. Okay, that means to come down. Okay. Okay, so to come down in kind of big amounts. So we have glory, glory, so uhm, happiness and joy and glory and good things coming down from the heavens. So lots of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, positive, good things coming down from heaven. And where is heaven?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bar, so the key part of this is the word bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A far is an old word we use to describe something that's far away. So the heavens afar, or the heavens that are far away are giving us all of this joy and happiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So heavenly hosts, those are bodies or people or spirits in the sky, angels, they're singing hallelujah. So hallelujah is a word that we often use in the Christian religion that comes from Greek actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, hallelujah is a Greek word and it means celebrate, joy, uhm, amen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for example, I fell into the water and Marco jumped in and saved me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marco is my savior, he saved me. Uhm, but in this case, savior refers to the Bible and the things that Jesus did later. So, we say in Christianity, he saved


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People, the humankind, so uhm, he is the savior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a line of light, but you know how light is clear. So a beam of light is something that comes down in a straight line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so in the olden days in English, we had different ways of saying the word you. Okay, and so, uhm, thy is one of those words, and you hear this very often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Radiant beams. Light is coming out of your face. Your holy face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shakespeare, the Bible, prayers, uhm, and all sorts of old books and poetry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To redeem is to find value in something that didn't have value before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so maybe I have a ticket for some, okay, I won a small lottery ticket, five dollars, I go to the store to redeem my money. The paper is worthless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so Christ the Redeemer, when He saves people, He redeems them. Okay? He gives them value again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Catherine and today we have a very weather focused lesson. It's all about all the horrible things that can happen to you with the weather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we're talking about extreme weather today. That's not rain or drizzle or sunshine. We're talking about really interesting, unique, and sometimes devastating things that can happen. So today's vocabulary word is Armageddon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this word is a reference to the end of the world. It means the time when the world will end because of a great catastrophe or a great disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. So think about that one as we listen to today's dialogue. We will be back in a minute to talk about what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's correct and unfortunately it's been happening very frequently in the past couple months. We've heard of a lot of earthquakes and volcanoes and things like that. So this is very valuable stuff when you're trying to talk about current events as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the first vocabulary item we have here is meteorological event. It's a real mouthful. It's a long word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, for example, meteorological means having to do with the weather, something that's related to the weather. So, a meteorological event could be rain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Avalanche. An avalanche has to do with snow. This means that when a mountain that has a lot of snow on it, uhm, maybe part of that snow breaks off and starts to roll down, uhm, you have a wall of snow that comes down. That's an avalanche.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, a blizzard is different from an avalanche because an avalanche, maybe it's not snowing, the snow just falls. But in a blizzard, you're talking about a storm of snow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is the opposite of wet, actually. So there's no rain in a drought. A drought means that things are very dry. The land is very dry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Correct, and the problem with a drought is very dangerous is because people cannot grow food in a drought and so lots of people starve when this happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, hydro means water, hydroelectric means electricity that is generated by flowing water. And so, for example, a mill, something that turns water on a river is a way to get power from water, but a hydroelectric


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A project that can give you electricity is maybe like a dam or an electric mill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well a word that many people are unfortunately familiar with is Richter or Richter scale. And now this is something that a lot of people are talking about right now because of the earthquake in Sichuan, China last year and the earthquake in Haiti.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, very recently. And so the Richter scale, uh, that's a big R because it's a proper name, is a way for us to determine how severe, how big the earthquake was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we've got two words here, volcano. A volcano is a mountain that has an opening in the center where lava from the middle of the earth, the center of the earth, can come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, land slides. A landslide is one word, but it's made up of two words that you probably already know. So land, obviously it's the ground and things like that, the earth. But a slide is to move down across the ground. And so a landslide happens when you've got something, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like lava or water that's pushing all of the earth, all of the ground down and it's destroying houses and trees and land and it's very, very destructive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so underneath the ground we have these big plates and seismic activity is what happens when these kind of things start to move. Activity is movement and so seismic activity refers to earthquakes and volcanoes, things that are changing under the ground that will affect us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Marco, these are all pretty terrifying. Have you ever experienced a meteorological event like one of the ones that we talked about today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and these days they have a lot of equipment, uh, seismic equipment and meteorological equipment that can help meteorologists to determine when things will happen, like when a volcano will erupt or if there will be an earthquake because they can study the tremors in the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Catherine and today we're looking for a new job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is actually the name of a job, it's a position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first phrase we have today is one that's very important when you're looking for a job. It's called job listing or job listings here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, and in the movies you always had the person sitting with the newspaper circling the potential jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, a resume is very important when you're looking for a job. It's a document, it's a piece of paper that tells someone all of the work that you've done before, your job experiences, and it tells them where you went to school and what your qualifications are. So it's a summary of your work life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, and a different one, sometimes people use this, is a CV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Curriculum vitae, and that's an academic summary of your life. So you have the work summary and the study summary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well cover letter, you know the word letter, it's something that you write to somebody else, but a cover letter is like a cover for your resume. It's a letter where you explain to the future boss or future employer what exactly you want and how this job is going to help you get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so you can say, Hi, my name is Catherine. I'm very motivated and excited to have the opportunity to talk to you about why I'm a skilled employee and why I will benefit your company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's the difference between job and career?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A career I think of as a long term goal. A career is your profession. It's the name you give yourself. But a job is a position in a company from one time to another. So for example, my job here is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Post of EnglishPod. But maybe in the future I will have a media career. That means that my job or jobs will have to do with this profession. It's kind of a bigger thing, a longer thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This first one's a great phrase. It's going to make you sound very fluent in English if you use it. We say, in the market, for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this person is looking for a new job. He is in the market for. I could also say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am right now actively looking for this thing. I really want one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A new job, I'm in the market for a new car, it means the market is the marketplace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mmm, isn't this a delicious phrase. So piece of cake, you think, what does cake have to do with anything? Well, cake, this is a way to say something is easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This often happens in our office, actually, because you and I understand computers, but we work with someone who has a hard time with computers. And she's like, oh, it doesn't work. And we're like, it's a piece of cake. It's a piece of cake. It's so easy. Why is this hard? So a piece of cake is a way to say something is simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the phrase, to make it big, or here in the past tense, made it big, means to be successful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's not a very impressive job, but it was a job and he made it big later on as a physicist. And so to make it big is to succeed, to become famous or successful or important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are, uh, there are actually a lot of gas station attendants in New Jersey because of the law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, a way for the New Jersey government to increase the amount of jobs in the states. So to create jobs, they made gas station attendance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, it's very unhealthy and I think that's also very dangerous in some places because gas stations are often robbed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there's only one person and no security sometimes, so, uh, there are some negative parts of being a gas station attendant, but if it's a job and you need a job, it's probably, uh, it's probably a good one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, and I encourage everyone today, this is your homework.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell us on EnglishPod.com what is your job and what's your career, okay? What's your job and what's your career? So what's the career you would like to have in the future?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Привет, дорогой друг! Добро пожаловать на курс Русский для начинающих!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, my dear friend! Welcome to the Russian for Beginners course!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today we have in the program the repetition of vocabulary related to the topic of food, the addition of new nouns, and the study of the dative case of personal pronouns. Let's get started! Food in Russian is еда.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] egg, jejco, jejco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] meat, miasa, miasa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next group of words is vegetables. Vegetables in Russian is овощи.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lettuce. Латук. Or, или, салат латук. Латук. Салат латук. Салат means salad. Салат латук.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Garlic in Russian is чеснок. Чеснок.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carrot in Russian is морковь.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The voice softened consonant В. At the end of this word sounds like a paired voiceless consonant Ф. Марковь. Not морковь, but морковь.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's move on, and the next word is tomato.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Russian we have two words that are synonymous with each other and you can use both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get the second one is much easier to remember. You just need to cut off the last letter O from the English version of this word. Now let's get to the fruit. Fruit in Russian is фрукты.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apple, yabloka, yabloka.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next word. Banana in Russian is банан, банан.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Banana, banana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next word. Pineapple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pineapple, ananas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strawberry Grape In Russian, wine is called вино. Вино – виноград.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's talk about drinks. Drink in Russian is напиток.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Milk. Молоко. Молоко. Milk in Russian is молоко. The next word is tea. Чай. Чай. Sugar in Russian is сахар. Сахар. Honey in Russian is мёд. Мёд.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we just looked at the words from the food category, but let's remember how to say I want in Russian. In Russian it will be Я хочу, I, я, want, хочу, I want,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want fruits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, let's take a look at this useful coordinating conjunction И. It means ant. Ant in Russian is И. For example, I want fruit and meat. Я хочу фрукты и мясо.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's learn new words for culture. Столовые приборы. Столовые приборы. Столовое – it's a noun, that means a place to eat. It can be translated as contain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The word Приборы can be translated as instruments, devices or appliances. Therefore, the phrase Столовые Приборы can be literally translated as tools used in the dining room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the first cutlery in our list is a fork. вилка. вилка. Fork. вилка. Knife. нож. нож. Knife. нож.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spoon. Lozhka. Spoon in Russian is lozhka.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A plate or a dish in Russian as Tarelka. Tarelka. Tarelka.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we have the next useful phrase, which is very often used in Russian. This is a phrase I need. Мне нужен. Мне нужен. Мне нужен. I need. Мне нужен.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact is that this phrase consists of the personal pronoun in the dative case «мне».


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Мне and the short form of the adjective нужен. Мне нужен. Мне нужен. Мне нужен.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll separately study the dative case in another lesson, but now I just wanna mention the primary important points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Russian dative case is used to represent the indirect object.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the person or thing that receives the main object.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dative generally corresponds to the English word to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually it's pretty hard to translate the phrase «мне нужен» literally to English. It's like saying «to me it's necessary».


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, first of all, at this stage let's learn the dative form of personal pronouns in order to know how to say she needs, he needs, and so on. Let's take a look at this table. First person, singular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dative case is мне. Me, мне.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Second person, singular. In formal way, тебе, you. Formal way, вам, тебе или вам.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First person plural, us, nam, nam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Second person plural, you, вам, вам. Third person plural, them, им, им. Me or to me, мне. You or to you, тебе, вам. Him, to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her to her. ей. It to it. ему.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nuzhen is the short form of the adjective Nuzhnyy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nuzhen is the short form of the adjective used with masculine nouns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, when it's used with nouns of other genders, feminine or neuter, and also in the plural, the form of this adjective will change. So, let's take a look at this table. Masculine form. Нужен. Feminine form. Нужна. Neuter form. Нужна. Plural form. Нужны.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, if we take the masculine noun нож, нож,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The form of our adjective that we will use is нужен. I need a fork. Мне нужен нож. You need a fork. Тебе нужен нож. He needs a fork. Ему нужен нож. She needs a fork. Ей нужен нож. It needs a fork. Этому нужен нож. We need a fork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need a fork. Vam nužen nos. They need a fork. Im nužen nos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we are going to use a feminine noun, this means that we need to change the form of our adjective into нужна, нужна. For example, let's take a feminine noun, тарелка, тарелка, plate. I need a plate. Мне нужна тарелка. You need a plate. Тебе нужна тарелка. He needs a plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She needs a plate. It needs a plate. We need a plate. You need a plate. They need a plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text
