Start of unit 2: "Speaking and listening"

Visible to anyone in the world

After the planning stage, we move on to listening to a passage in a thick 1950s Derbyshire accent and trying to work out what it's saying. So I saved it for Saturday morning when Dave's out.

A question, and my reply:

“Did that take you further out of your comfort zone as a Y031 student, or did you enjoy the opportunity to listen closely instead of reading?”

My comfort zone is a distant memory. Even if the accent is clear, I usually deal with the spoken word by reading the transcription.

It’s a new challenge, and that’s why I’m on this course.
