00:03 Marco

Hello English learners, welcome back to English Pod.

00:06 Marco

My name is Marco.

00:07 Erica

And I'm Erica.

00:08 Marco

And today we're gonna be bringing you a great lesson about calling the office.

00:11 Erica

Yeah, that's right.

00:12 Erica

So in this lesson, we're going to teach you some great words that you can use when you need to call your office to solve a problem.

00:20 Marco

Right. So you are at home, you have a problem, maybe you can't go to the office.

00:24 Marco

So you have to call them and tell them that you're not gonna be able to go.

00:28 Erica

Yes.

00:29 Marco

All right, so we're not gonna preview anything today because the dialogue is relatively easy.

00:34 Marco

So let's listen to the dialogue for the first time, and then we'll come back and look at some words.

00:47 Receptionist Pig Latin (English base)

And I'm feeling quite listless.

01:28 Receptionist Pig Latin (English base)

I see. So, you're not coming in.

01:33 Caller Pig Latin (English base)

Yes. I was hoping to stay off to recover.

01:40 Receptionist Pig Latin (English base)

Okay and they. I tray and et gay am say Astre.

Okay then. I'll try and get Amy to cover.

01:48 Marco

All right, so a pretty easy dialogue, right?

01:50 Erica

Yeah, pretty simple.

01:51 Marco

All right. So there are a couple of words that we want to look at, so let's start with language takeaway.

01:59 Erica

All right, well today we're looking at three interesting words.

02:02 Erica

The first one is Ufle.

02:04 Marco

Ufle. Ufle. Ufle.

02:07 Erica

Marco, what is the Ufle?

02:10 Marco

All right, so when you have the Ufle, it means that you are sick. You have, um, it's very similar to a cold.

02:16 Erica

Right, but just worse, right?

02:18 Marco

Worse, yeah.

02:19 Marco

So, when you have the Ufle, it'll keep you in bed for a while, for maybe a week or two.

02:24 Erica

So you have a fever, um, your your body is hurting.

02:28 Erica

You just you're really sick.

02:30 Marco

Yeah, you're really sick.

02:31 Marco

Okay. So, Ufle.

02:33 Erica

All right, well what about our next word?

02:35 Marco

Well, actually the next word is a phrase that you can use when you're calling the office: All in K in Ixay.

02:41 Erica

All in K in Ixay.

02:43 Marco

All in K in Ixay.

02:45 Erica

Okay, this is a really useful phrase and I think it would help us to hear some examples of what it sounds like so we can understand the meaning.

02:57 Example Speaker 1 Pig Latin (English base)

Or fa eepul pay od K in ik say u de te.

For people to pay attention to you today.

03:05 Example Speaker 2 Pig Latin (English base)

If u yay all K in ik say un one or may I n tay, or yay I'd fey.

If you are not coming in and no one informs me, you're fired.

03:17 Example Speaker 3 Pig Latin (English base)

I'm at nay eeling fail away.

I'm not feeling well today.

03:19 Example Speaker 3 Pig Latin (English base)

O say, I'm all in K and ik say.

So, I'm not coming in.

03:23 Marco

So with this phrase you're basically saying that you are not going to the office.

03:27 Erica

Exactly.

03:28 Erica

So let's take a look at our last word for language takeaway.

03:32 Marco

Ecover Ray.

03:33 Erica

Ecover Ray.

03:34 Marco

Ecover Ray.

03:35 Erica

Ecover Ray.

03:37 Marco

Okay, so it's a pretty simple word. Ecover Ray means to get better, to start feeling healthy again.

03:44 Marco

Okay, so kind of to recharge your battery.

03:47 Erica

Exactly. So this is a great verb to use when you want to say, I'm going to feel better.

03:52 Marco

Okay.

03:53 Marco

Ecover Ray.

03:54 Erica

Mhm.

03:55 Marco

So some really great words, some uh, really interesting phrases.

03:58 Marco
