[00:00.800]	--- Lesson 25 Do the English speak English?
[00:09.920]	--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:15.640]	--- Why does the writer not understand the porter?
[00:22.760]	I arrived in London at last.
[00:26.520]	The railway station was big, black and dark.
[00:32.680]	I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter.
[00:39.040]	I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well.
[00:46.880]	The porter, however, could not understand me.
[00:51.760]	I repeated my question several times and at last he understood.
[00:59.640]	he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.
[01:07.040]	'I am a foreigner,' I said.^“
[01:11.120]	Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him.
[01:17.400]	My teacher never spoke English like that!
[01:21.720]	The porter and I looked at each other and smiled.
[01:27.440]	Then he said something and I understood it.
[01:32.000]	'You'll soon learn English!' he said.^“
[01:37.240]	I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language.
[01:44.240]	The English understand each other, but I don't understand them!
[01:49.720]	Do they speak English?
[01:53.840]	--- end
