A = Alfie, H = Holly
A: Hi. Nice to meet you. I’m Alfie.
H: Hey. Holly. How’s it going?
A: Yeah, OK, thanks. I’m a bit nervous though, to be honest.
H: Yeah? Why?
A: I don’t know. You know … first class. New people.
H: Yeah, I remember that feeling. Don’t worry. You’ll be fine. It’ll be fun.
A: So have you studied here before?
H: Yeah, last term.
A: Oh really? OK. And did you enjoy it?
H: Yeah, it was amazing. Our teacher was brilliant. Really great. So patient and helpful, you
know. So, what about you? How long’ve you been learning French?
A: For about three years now, I guess, but just on my own at home, using the Internet.
H: Yeah? Have you learned much?
A: Well, my reading has improved and I’ve learned quite a lot of vocabulary, but I really
need to practise my speaking more, you know. That’s why I’m here. What about you? Why
are you learning?
H: Well, I’d like to be a translator and French is an official EU language and UN language, so
… you know.
A: Wow! OK.

N = Noah, G = Giuliana
N: So what did you make of that session?
G: Oh, um. Well, it was … um … different, wasn’t it?
N: I’m glad I’m not the only person that didn’t really enjoy it.
G: So, what’s your name, then? Where are you based?
N: Oh, I’m Noah.
G: Giuliana. Hi.
N: Hey. And I’m originally from Canada, from Halifax, but I’m working in Santiago now.
G: Oh really? Nice. How long have you been there?
N: A couple of years now. Do you know it? Have you been there?
G: Yeah, loads of times. I’m from Mendoza, just the other side of the mountains. We can
drive there in five or six hours. Great city.
N: I like it, yes.
G: What are you doing there? Are you working?
N: Yeah. I’m a researcher – attached to the university there. I’m doing work on climate
change.
G: Wow, interesting. And are you presenting at the conference?
N: Yeah. I was on yesterday, actually. What about you?
G: No, goodness! The whole idea really scares me. I don’t think I could do it. I’m happy just
attending and going to the talks.
