Speaker 2
I speak spanish. i like to run. My favorite artist is sufjan stevens. I'm a personal accountant and work on taxes. I like high protein food. I moved into a new apartment. I haven't unpacked yet. I want to exercise at a baseball field.
Speaker 1
Hi do you speak any other languages? I love to learn.
Speaker 2
I speak spanish also. Do you like to run? It my favorite exercise.
Speaker 1
Sure, baseball is my favorite activity though..
Speaker 2
Havs you listened to sufjan stevens? He is my favorite artist.
Speaker 1
Yes, I would love to design ads for his work after getting my marketing degree.
Speaker 2
Im his personal accountant. Im currently working on his taxes.
Speaker 1
I've heard he also likes seafood, which I do as well.
Speaker 2
Im into high proteins. Wouldn't mind some seafood.
Speaker 1
Seafood has tons of protein.
Speaker 2
I just recently moved to this apartment. I still haven't unpacked.
Speaker 1
My apartment has a baseball field nearby which is really great since I like to play.
Speaker 2
Can I go for a run there? I need my exercise for the day.

Speaker 1
Can you send me some of sufjan's music?
Speaker 2
There's Tell me You Love Me. I think that's my favorite song by him. How is school going? You said marketing; is that right?
Speaker 1
School is going well.  I would love to get a job in the marketing department of the MLB.  
Speaker 2
Would you ever consider joining the MLB if you had the chance? Since, baseball is your favorite activity.
Speaker 1
I'm not good enough to play, but if I complete my marketing degree I would certainly try to apply for a position with the MLB or my favorite team, the Yankees.  Do you like baseball?
Speaker 2
I don't think I've really ever gotten into baseball. I do like to exercise in the baseball field. I don't know what it is. Something about the soft dirt is therapeutic. So you want to make ads for the MLB? Have you already got some designs in mind?
Speaker 1
Yes, I think the MLB needs to market itself more to women.  I am thinking of a calendar with baseball studs from around the league.  What do you think?  Too cliche?
Speaker 2
No! I think that's a great marketing idea. I haven't seen anything like that at all. What projects are you working on now in school? Do you work for any brands?
Speaker 1
My school actually has a coop program with Nabisco...I am working on a project with Oreos for Gay Pride month where the stuffing is rainbow colored instead of white.
Speaker 2
That sounds awesome. Are you one of the people who helped with the whole Lady Gaga Oreos? 
Speaker 1
I wish I did.  The inspiration for that actually came to a marketing intern in a dream if you can imagine that!
Speaker 2
I guess your imagination would be your best friend in that line of work. That's quite amazing. Most of the time I can't remember what I dream about. I just crunch numbers. Nothing very imaginative about that.

Speaker 1
How are you enjoying your new apartment, have you unpacked yet?
Speaker 2
Not yet. To be honest I do not have much to unpack, I need to go shopping for furniture to fill the place up.
Speaker 1
Would you like some company? I am good at shopping!
Speaker 2
Yeah sure, I could do with help on what to get. I am new to all of this so wouldn't eve know where to start.
Speaker 1
I have a truck too, so I can help you deliver some of the furniture. I really think it would help you cut down on the cost of the delivery. 
Speaker 2
That's a really good idea. I see the deliver of items is some times more than the item costs! Maybe while you are over you can help me understand baseball a bit more.
Speaker 1
Oh yes for sure. I have a Baseball for dummies guide book I can give you. I think it is very informative. 
Speaker 2
Amazing, I like the idea of it since I see people playing all the time in the fields I run in. I just do not fully understand it though. That book should give me a good start. 
Speaker 1
Well , how about we go shop for some things for the apartment, then we can head back to you apartment to cook some food and talk about baseball. 
Speaker 2
Sounds awesome. What food do you usually cook?
Speaker 1
I can throw some meat on the grill and make some baked potatoes. How does that sound?
Speaker 2
Sounds good, anything with high protein content and I'm in.

Speaker 1
I just realized there's a baseball game on tonight.  We can watch together and you can explain things as they happen if you want.
Speaker 2
I'm not sure I can explain it very well. I think you'd do a better job of that.
Speaker 1
I figure it will help you learn if you try explaining as you watch it. Whenever you can't explain, I would explain it. I like to order food when I watch baseball games. Do you like pizza?
Speaker 2
Oh, that makes sense but I don't have a strong desire to learn all the rules. I do however like pizza at all times. What type of pizza do you like?
Speaker 1
I like pineapple pizza and bacon pizza. Bacon pizza is high in protein so you should like that. If you can learn the ins and outs of accounting, I'm sure you can learn baseball. I remember my dad taught me a lot about baseball when I was 12 years old.
Speaker 2
That's an interesting combination on pizza. I guess I could try to learn if you really want me to. Could you lend me your book?
Speaker 1
Yes, sure. I didn't mean I like the combination. Those are two different kinds of pizza I like. If you learn enough, you could join me and my other friends for some baseball games. Me and some other friends organize a baseball game every month or so.
Speaker 2
Oh, I thought you liked both of those things on one pizza, kind of like hawaiian pizza. It would be fun to join you and your friends, especially if pizza is involved.
Speaker 1
Yeah, we sometimes order takeout or go out to eat somewhere after our games. I'm sure that all your running means that you will have great speed and endurance in the game. I'm good at batting, running, and catching. However, I am not that good at throwing the ball as I would like to be.
Speaker 2
That sounds fun. Wow, I didn't realize there were so many elements to the game. Is it important to be good at all of them?
Speaker 1
It depends on what position you will play. As long as your team has a mix of all the talents, I'd say the team will probably do well. My dad used to teach me the best way to hit a home run. I hit my first home run in a school league when I was 14!
Speaker 2
Wow, that's pretty impressive! It seems too hard to focus on being good at everything. I'd rather focus on one element of the game if I were to learn.

I'm not very interested in learning all the rules of baseball. I like pizza. I'd like to play baseball with you and your friends.
Speaker 1
Have you finished unpacking in the new apartment yet?
Speaker 2
More or less, just a few things to go. Looks less like a cell and more like home now, haha
Speaker 1
That's at least an improvement. What about shopping for furnitures and decorations? Do you have a style you like?
Speaker 2
Not really any style..just affordable....I guess my style would be "classic" or maybe "transitional". Are you still in the baseball team with your friends?
Speaker 1
Yes, we still meet up every month. But it's getting harder these days because they're busy online. Would you like to join us when we set up a game next month?
Speaker 2
I would! Where are the games located at and when do you play?
Speaker 1
We usually play at a nearby park every Sunday. Sometimes, we use a different park but I'll let you know in advance. I'm curious though, did you learn to speak Spanish in school? 
Speaker 2
I learned some of it from my friends in college and the rest is self taught. I've been brushing up/improving on a website called duolingo, ever heard of it?
Speaker 1
Sorry, I haven't. But I'll check it out later. I'm interested in learning Spanish as most of my team can converse in the language. Is it hard? How long did it take you to become fluent?
Speaker 2
Oh I'd say I'm more proficient than fluent. It took a couple years of self study, but I kind of have a natural gift for lanaguages
Speaker 1
You are lucky to have that gift. It might take me 10 years to learn a language since I'm always forgetful. May I ask why you chose Spanish?
Speaker 2
I went to a university with a campus in Madrid, so we had a lot of spanish students, it piqued my interest in the history culture and language
