Dialogue 4 Interview with an English teacher planning to take his students to a London pub.
Dialogue 4 Interview with an English teacher planning to take his students to a London pub.
Interviewer: What's your favourite pub in London? Teacher: Um, I think the Sherlock Holmes Pub
Interviewer: Oh, nice choice! Why do you reckon it'd suit your Czech students? Do they like traditional British grub (žrádlo?) Teacher: I think that's the whole point. They want to see something a bit different - they want to see something traditional, and it's a traditional pub in the heart of London. It also is historic and associated with the famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes.
Interviewer: Fair enough - that place does have character. Tell me, what's the first British food word you'd teach your students?
Teacher: Probably fish and chips or a Jam Butty
Interviewer: Classic picks - fish and chips will have them queuing up. If they asked 'What's a jam butty?
Teacher: It's got jam inside some white bread with butter, and it's sort of squishy (měkké), and it hits the spot when you're hungry.
Interviewer:That sounds perfect - squishy and straight to the point. Now, suppose one of them wants to try a pint. What would you tell them that 'proper beer' means here?
Teacher: I wouldn't say proper beer because the Czechs are known for having some of the best beer in the world
So what I would suggest is that we introduce British ales, which are totally different to traditional lagers.
Interviewer: Exactly. Would you let them try a real bitter, or keep it to something milder like London Pride?
Teacher: So what I would suggest is that we introduce British ales, which are totally different to traditional lagers.
Interviewer: Exactly. Would you let them try a real bitter, or keep it to something milder like London Pride?
Teacher: I think London Pride would be a good start - see how they react to that, and maybe if we're doing a pub crawl, we might go to another pub nearby and I could introduce them to something a bit stronger.
Interviewer: Fair call. London Pride's smooth enough not to scare them off.
Interviewer: How do you teach them to say 'cheers' when they clink (cinkají) glasses?
Teacher: Okay, I would say it is like saying 'na zdraví' in Czech, but that we say 'cheers'.
CHEERS! Na zdraví!
