Speaker 1
I would enjoy going swimming together sometime. 
Speaker 2
I'd like that too! We might have a difficult time deciding where to have lunch though!
Speaker 1
I know of a great vegan place by the lake. Do you prefer swimming in the lake or at a pool?
Speaker 2
Definitely the lake.  The pools get too crowded in the summer. And when I'm out of the water I can practice Jiu Jitsu on the bank to dry off.
Speaker 1
Oh that is great! I like to practice yoga on the beach when I am out of the water. Maybe I can show you yoga, and you can teach me some Jiu Jitsu moves!
Speaker 2
Sure!  And there's a comdey club not too far from the lake. We could make a whole day of it!
Speaker 1
Wow, that sounds like the perfect day! I thought you didn't like comedy though, you don't have to go on my behalf!
Speaker 2
Well, I thought I might learn to like it better if there was someone with me to explain the jokes. English isn't my first language.
Speaker 1
Oh, I didn't know that, you speak English very well! What is your first language?
Speaker 2
A dialect of Japanese only spoken in rural parts of the country.
Speaker 1
Wow, that is so cool! When did you move here from Japan? Do you miss it?
Speaker 2
My family moved to america when I was 12. I do miss it.

English isn't my first language. I speak a dialect of Japanese. I've lived in America since I was 12.
Speaker 1
I cooked a vegan chilli that was to die for.
Speaker 2
That sounds nice, I don't have a lot of money at the moment and it sounds like a cheap and healthy mean. Do you not eat meat?
Speaker 1
I actually love eating meat, but I wanted to try a vegan dish out of curiosity. I know you're a vegan so I wanted to tell you about it.
Speaker 2
That makes sense, I will have to try it, veganism is surprisingly cheap if you buy the right things, I have to be conscious of it since I'm a student. Do you do any sports? I do jiu jitsu and I do a lot of free swimming.
Speaker 1
I've lately started practicing yoga, but I'd love to learn a martial art. Is jiu-jitsu difficult to learn?
Speaker 2
That sounds fun, must be relaxing, how are you finding it? jiu jitsu is easy enough to learn at the start but gets harder when you do it more often. I mainly learnt it as I lived in japan for the first 12 years of my life.
Speaker 1
That's right, you moved to America when you were 12, right? Do you ever miss Japan?
Speaker 2
Yeah I did! I do sometimes, but it's fun to teach the japanese dialect I know to my friends; they also teach me english. Do you like comedy?
Speaker 1
I do! My favorite comedian is Charlie Parker. Are you familiar with them?
Speaker 2
I have heard the name, although I'm not a huge fan myself, I can appreciate the intricacies of the performance aspect of it.
Speaker 1
They're not for everyone, but I enjoy their stand-up comedy. Do you have a favorite comedian yourself?
Speaker 2
Yeah that makes sense. I'm not a bit fan of comedy, but I have heard that dave chappelle is very funny!

Speaker 1
I decided to start training in jiu jitsu. I'm terrible so far. I was wondering if you had any good tips for a beginner.
Speaker 2
The most important thing is to stick with it. It is very technical and can take some time to learn, just don't give up!
Speaker 1
I'll try. How long you have been practicing it by the way?
Speaker 2
I started quite young so about 8 years now. I am still learning now and get better all the time.
Speaker 1
Wow that's great to hear! What's your belt color and what inspired you to practice Jiu Jitsu versus other martial arts?
Speaker 2
I recently got my black belt, I so happy tp get that.
Speaker 1
Wow good for you! So how's your English lessons going? Do you feel comfortable speaking it?
Speaker 2
I am more confident in my written English. I still find it hard to have fluent conversations. I think some of it is that people all sound slightly different. 
Speaker 1
Yes, that's true. I've been trying to learn some spanish and the amount of dialects is crazy! Makes it very challenging to learn it while listening to different videos. 
Speaker 2
Good luck with your Spanish. Why did you want to learn it?
Speaker 1
I've been wanting to travel to Argentina for the summer as it's crazy cheap and they say they have the best meats!
Speaker 2
Ah amazing, yes I bet they do have the best meats! I wouldn't know though, being a vegan and that.

Speaker 1
I discovered a new TV Show. It is not comedy, so I think you would enjoy it.
Speaker 2
Oh amazing, please tell me more about this tv show. I’m trying so hard to find new things to watch. 
Speaker 1
It's called Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.  It's about really ugly crimes but it's interesting and there are like a million episodes so if you like it you can watch it forever.
Speaker 2
I have watched one of the law and order shows before and enjoyed it but have never seen the Special victim ones. I do enjoy watching police and investigating type of shows so I will be sure to check that one out. Thank you for the suggestion. 
Speaker 1
You're welcome.  The show has a lot of guest stars you might recognize, and Ice T is one of the cops.  Do you like Ice T?
Speaker 2
Oh really, yeah my dad got me into listening to some of ice T music, that’s super cool that he is one of the detectives on the show. I now need to check that one out for sure. 
Speaker 1
Yeah, I think he's awesome.  Some of the other cops and characters come and go but Ice T has been in the show for years and years.  Do you ever have trouble understanding TV shows in English?
Speaker 2
That’s super cool. Yeah I’m gradually getting better at speaking and understand spoken English, but can read the words pretty well, so I usually listen to shows or movies in English but also put on the subtitles so if I don’t understand I can read along. It really helps me learn better English by watching things on tv. 
Speaker 1
That's really cool.  I'm glad it helps.  I figure I should probably watch more Mexican TV as I try to learn Spanish.
Speaker 2
Yes it really helps hearing how things are pronounced especially it you just use English subtitles at first so you can understand what the words are they are saying. You will be able to pick up the Spanish language real fast. And also start by practicing how to roll your R’s that’s the hardest part of learning Spanish I think. 
Speaker 1
Yes, I'm definitely having a hard time rolling my R's.  Hopefully I get better at it soon.  I'd really love to be able to converse somewhat if I go to Argentina.
Speaker 2
Yeah it really is hard going to another country and not being able to speak in their language. That’s why I try so hard to learn English. If you put the time in learning I’m sure you will do great at speaking it by the time you go on your trip.
