Lyrics

[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
