So, um, the next thing people usually want to know is where are you from?

Good point.

I'm originally from Australia.

Australia?

That's so far away.

I'm from the United Kingdom.

The UK.

Fantastic.

Do you still live there?

I moved to Ireland a few years ago.

Mountains, beaches, everything.

So, um, we've covered names and where we're from.

What comes next?

Well, we could talk about what we do.

Our jobs or studies.

Right.

The big question.

What do you do, Sarah?

I'm a language coach.

I help people improve their English-speaking skills.

Oh, that's a wonderful job.

Very rewarding, I imagine.

It is.

I love seeing people gain confidence.

What about you, Mike?

I'm a software developer.

I work with computers and programming.

Ooh, that sounds quite technical.

It can be, but I enjoy solving problems.

It's like a puzzle every day.

Ah, I like that way of thinking about it.

Do you work from home or in an office?

I work from home most days.

Sometimes I go to the office for meetings.

You?

I work from home, too.

I have a small office space here.

It's very convenient.

It is.

Though sometimes I miss the social aspect of an office.

True.

That's why podcasts like this are nice.

We get to connect.

Exactly.

100

Okay, so we have name, location, and job.

101

Should we talk about family?

102

Yes, family is always a good topic.

103

Do you have any siblings, Mike?

104

I do.

105

I have two sisters.

106

They're both younger than me.

107

Oh, so you're the oldest.

108

That's a big responsibility.

109

It was when we were kids.

110

Now we're all adults, so it's different.

111

What about you?

112

I have one brother.

113

He's older than me by three years.

114

Ah, an older brother.

115

Did he look out for you growing up?

116

He did.

117

We were very close.

118

Still are, actually.

119

We talk on the phone every week.

120

Oh, that's lovely.

121

Family connections are important.

122

They are.

123

Do your sisters live in Australia still?

124

One does.

125

The other one moved to Canada.

126

She loves the snow.

127

Canada?

128

Very different from Australia.

129

Completely different.

130

But she's happy there, so that's what matters.

131

Absolutely.

132

Now, I have to ask.

133

Do you have any pets?

134

I do.

135

I have a dog named Charlie.

136

Oh, Charlie!

137

What kind of dog is he?

138

Very energetic and always happy.

140

Golden retrievers are beautiful dogs.

144

Do you have any pets?

146

Their names are Milo and Oscar.

147

Oh, two cats.

148

That must keep you busy.

149

Not really.

150

They're quite independent.

151

They spend most of the day sleeping.

152

That sounds like typical cat behavior.

153

It is.

154

They're very low maintenance.

155

Perfect for my lifestyle.

156

Dogs and cats.

157

We're covering all the bases here.

It does.

168

The scenery is breathtaking.

169

I also enjoy reading.

170

Ooh, what kind of books do you read?

173

Oh, those are great genres.

174

Very engaging.

175

I love reading, too.

176

What do you like to read?

177

I prefer biographies and travel books.

178

I like learning about real people and places.

179

Ah, that's interesting.

180

It probably helps with your language coaching, too.

181

It does.

182

I learn about different cultures and perspectives.

183

What else do you enjoy?

184

I like cooking.

185

190

What about you?

191

Any other hobbies?

192

I love photography.

193

I take photos whenever I travel.

194

Oh, photography is a wonderful hobby.

195

Do you share your photos anywhere?

196

Just with friends and family.

197

I'm not professional or anything.

198

Still, it's a great way to capture memories.

199

It is.

200

I also enjoy going to the theater.

201

Plays, musicals, that sort of thing.

202

Oh, the theater.

203

Very cultural.

204

Dublin has excellent theaters.

205

I try to go at least once a month.

206

That sounds like a nice routine.

207

So, we've talked about hobbies.

208

Should we discuss favorites?

209

Yes, let's do that.

210

Favorite foods, colors, things like that.

211

Perfect.

212

Sarah, what's your favorite food?

213

Oh, that's difficult.

214

I love so many foods.

215

But if I have to choose, I'd say sushi.

216

Sushi.

217

Excellent choice.

218

Raw fish and rice.

219

Very fresh and healthy.

220

Exactly.

221

What's your favorite food?

222

Hmm, I think mine is Mexican food.

223

Tacos, burritos, all of it.

224

Oh, Mexican food is delicious.

225

Very flavorful.

226

It is.

227

I love the combination of spices.

228

Okay, favorite color?

229

My favorite color is purple.

230

It's elegant and calming.

231

232

Mine is orange.

233

Orange?

I love spring.

239

Everything is blooming and fresh.

240

Yours?

244

Good answer.

245

Now, how about favorite music?

246

Oh, I listen to a lot of different music,

247

but I especially love jazz.

248

Jazz.

249

That's sophisticated.

250

It's relaxing to listen to while I work.

251

What about you?

252

I like pop music and classical music.

253

Depends on my mood.

254

Ah, that's a nice variety.

255

Pop for energy.

256

Classical for relaxation.

257

Exactly.

258

You understand me perfectly.

259

Haha, this has been great.

260

We're learning so much about each other.

261

We are.

262

And I hope our listeners are learning how to talk about themselves, too.

263

That's the goal.

264

You know, you don't need to say everything at once.

265

Right.

266

Just pick a few topics that feel natural for the situation.

267

Exactly.

268

If you're in a professional setting,

269

talk about your job and skills.

270

And if you're at a social event,

271

talk about your hobbies and interests.

272

The key is to be authentic and comfortable.

273

Absolutely.

274

People respond well to genuine conversation.

275

And remember, it's okay to keep your answers short at first.

276

Yes.

277

You can always add more details if the person asks follow-up questions.

278

That's how real conversations work.

279

Back and forth.

280

Exactly.

281

It's not a speech.

282

It's a dialogue.

283

Great point.

284

Should we practice one more time?

285

Sure.

286
