What's up? Hey, everybody! Hello and welcome to Episode #101 of Speaking English Podcast. Today, sitting for also Christmas time, we have lamb versus lamp. Well, first one is spelled l-a-m-b and the second one is spelled l-a-m-p. That's basically really easy; the 'b' is silent as in other words we had before like tomb, for example, numb, dumb, all these words with 'b' in the end but it's not pronounced.
And, lamp spelled with the 'p' and that is pronounced. The first one, lamb, that's the animal which you can also cook for Christmas or for other occasion, and if you are a vegetarian, I don't mean to hurt. And the other one, lamp is basically something that gives you light, for example, pull this plug here, you can see the screen went a little bit dark. Plug it in, it's brighter again, so light.
Lamps spread light. Look, basically it's lamb versus lamp. Now, I have something here, a giveaway that's a little CD I got in today's paper. It's a language course, Business English, it's part 2, topic is Small Talk and it's done by a pretty renowned German brand called Langenscheidt. I am going to give this away to the first person who will send me an email.
All you need is a PC or a CD player or a DVD player. So, basically anything with an optical device that plays audio. It says here something like, it's important to establish contact to another person in the right way and your authentic dialog scenes and some exercises and it has dealt for an autodidact with some knowledge and to refresh your knowledge.
So, this I am sending you for free. If you send me an email and please include what your name is, your address, of course, and why you think this is best for you, and maybe even some audio or some video. After all, this is a video podcast. Thanks for tuning in and take care.
