TRANSCRIPT Hannah 1 : I'm Hannah, and welcome back to Don’ Say It, a podcast designed to help you master the finer details of the English language. Let's welcome today's guest, Hannah Watson. Hi, Hannah. Hannah 2 :Hi. Hanah 1: Thank you so much for being with me today. I'm very excited. I'm going to start with a question. What's your favorite English word and why? Hannah 2: I think my favorite English word is amazing because I use it a lot and you can use it for everything. An amazing job, an amazing person, an amazing experience, an amazing place, an amazing food. Everything is amazing. That's why I like the word. Hannah 1 : Do you think there's an equivalent? Hannah 2 : I don't even think Génial is used as much. I think in French, c’est top. Hannah 1: You can be a kid, you could be an old lady. Everything can be amazing. Middle aged woman like, Hannah 2 : we're amazing. Hannah 1: I know English is your maternal language, but is there a translation or even a French word which is difficult for you or would you make mistakes about all the time? Hannah 2: Finding words in English will be more complicated for me because French and English is my they are my speaking languages. Hannah 1: Do you have a funny story about a mistake you made in French or English languages? Hannah 2: I was ten. And we moved to Jersey and I'd never been to school in an English country before, so it was my first experience in school. We had words to learn, words to write, and I remember my teacher saying to the class how I wrote the words heard biutiful. Because I wrote, as I could hear it, not the right spelling. And I think I spelled something like Biutif. Something French. So that was my funny mistake, because I was the only one in the class was actually writing what I could hear, not what the spelling was supposed to be. Hannah 1: And when she said that to the class, was it to laugh at you or was it to go, oh, look how interesting this is language it was on that site. Hannah 2: Interesting and how they could help me correct my writing. Hannah 1: How long before you felt really comfortable in either language? I know you speak French and English. Hannah 2: I learnt French at school because we moved to France when I was four and just had to learn French. I went to school. I was told it took me about two months to be bilingual, so I suppose it must have been quite challenging. Hannah 1: So you don't remember the process or it being hard? It was in a learning time for you? Hannah 2: Yeah, when you're that age, it's easy, you don't think about it. Can you fit in? Whereas for parents like my mother, who didn't speak French at all, I remember her struggling and trying to learn and it used to always be quite funny for me and my sister, because we'd speak to her in French, we knew she could understand, so it was funny, but I think it was a lot more difficult for her and adult age than for us as children. Hannah 1: Did she lean on you guys a little to translate for her or to help her? Hannah 2: I don't think so. I can't remember her doing that, but she probably did, but I don't remember and Hannah 1: do you remember her being frustrated or was this a process? Hannah 2: It wasn't. I think she enjoyed I remember she always used to talk about different things that happened to her, using the wrong word, like words that aren't the same in English and French, like feeling hot Hannah 1: when I was on a date. Je suis chaude ! Hannah 2: She did that in a professional meeting. Oh, my God. So she got a kick under the table from her boss, but she always found it funny. Hannah 1: That's the end of the first segment. We'll take a break and we'll be back with Hannah in a moment. We are with Hannah and me. Hannah, I'd like to learn more about your English
