Dutch with Rick

Здравствуйте! Это мой подкаст «По-русски легко!».  Сегодня я поделюсь с вами фразами, которые будут полезны при визите в аптеку (je vais partager avec vous des phrases qui seront utiles en pharmacie). В России в аптеках вы можете купить лекарства, косметику, медицинские приборы. Фармацевты (les pharmaciens) консультируют покупателей (les acheteurs) и помогают сделать выбор. 
Фармацевт может спросить: Как я могу вам помочь? (Comment puis-je vous aider?)
 Что случилось? Давно это у вас? (Vous avez ça depuis quand?)
Покупатель рассказывает, какая у него проблема и какие симптомы. 
Например: мне нужно что-нибудь от головной боли (j’ai besoin de quelque chose pour mon mal de tête).
Или: у меня аллергия (je suis allergique).
Фармацевт для решения проблемы предлагает лекарства подороже и подешевле.
Бывает так, что покупатель уже знает, какое лекарство ему нужно. Если лекарство нельзя продавать без рецепта, то фармацевт спрашивает: у вас есть рецепт?
Если такого лекарства нет, то фармацевт предлагает заменить это лекарство на другое (remplacez ce médicament par un autre).
Многие люди заказывают лекарства онлайн. А потом идут в аптеку и получают свой заказ. Это удобно.
Спасибо, что слушаете мои подкасты. До скорой встречи!

Describe an interesting neighbour - IELTS speaking part 2 and part 3






Describe an interesting neighbour


You should say-

Who this neighbour is
How long have you known him/her
What kind of person he/she is

And explain why you think this neighbour is interesting





“I’m extremely lucky to have a number of very good and helpful neighbours, but when it comes to an interesting neighbour, that would have to be Joe, who lives in the apartment right opposite mine.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe just over a year ago, very soon after I moved into the building, and thanked  my lucky stars the day I met him. It was during one of the Covid lockdowns, and it was impossible to go outside to buy groceries, which was making things quite difficult for me… being a foreigner.

I remember it was about 3 days into the lockdown when Joe knocked on my door and introduced himself to me. The first thing that caught my interest was his excellent use of English, and how he seemed to have a slight Australian accent. To cut a long story short, he told me how he guessed that being a foreigner I might need some help in buying food and other necessities during the lockdown, and had come to offer me some help, which really made my day.

After thanking him for his generous offer, I invited him into my apartment for a chat over a cup of coffee, and we spent the next few hours chatting and getting to know one another. He told me how he had spent a number of years living and travelling abroad, which explained his excellent level of English.

He had so many interesting stories of his travels, but the one that really stood out was his account of the time he travelled across the entire width of Australia, and lived to tell the tale.  As an avid traveller myself, I found all of this so fascinating and incredibly interesting, and we sat for hours swapping stories on our different adventures.


Thank you.”

In the introductory episode, I answer why I think it's important to look at asking questions as an art. I give my background, anecdotes, and hypotheticals to display what trying to achieve with this podcast. While I use a lot of complex vocabulary, I try to speak in a slower cadence so that learners in a wide range of levels can try to understand. Hope you enjoy!
