Interlocutor: "Come on in. Have a seat. It's hot today isn't it?" Hans: "Yes" Miguel: "Yes, it is, isn't it? It's been hot all week." Interlocutor: "Do you two know each other?" Hans: "Yes, we are in the same school of languages." Interlocutor: "Can you introduce me?" Miguel: "Sure, I am Miguel, er ... Miguel Carrera, this is Hans Bloeston." Interlocutor: " I'm pleased to meet you. Have you known Miguel long, Hans?" Hans: "Yes, we have, since the start of the term. We are often studying together, but we do not sit together in the class. I am by the front but Miguel likes to sit near the back." Miguel: "I sit with a friend of mine back there. It's not such a good idea, you know, because he speaks Spanish too. If I sat with Hans then I would have to speak more English!" Interlocutor: "Does your teacher let you speak Spanish in the classroom? Or German?" Hans: "Sometimes, yes." Miguel: "Or sometimes when we are doing exercises, we speak it quietly, even when we shouldn't. It's wrong, maybe, but it is a ... do you call it a temptation?" Interlocutor: "That's right. Do you have any brothers or sisters, Hans?" Hans: "She is a sister - she is younger than me, Yes, I am well, eighteen years old, so she is now fifteen." Miguel: "What's she called?" Hans: "Her name is Freya." Miguel: "That's a nice name. Is she learning English too?"
