hello and welcome back to your watching
0:06
we are in the blue mountains just
0:09
outside Sydney Australia we share a
0:12
monarchy with Australia and that's
0:14
always interested me and I wondered how
0:18
do the Australians feel about the
0:20
monarchy do they like the Queen do they
0:22
think the more royal family should be
0:24
abolished how do they feel
0:26
we're gonna find out and bring some real
0:28
English from the streets from the
0:30
mountains of Australia let's go before
0:33
we jump into the interviews about our
0:36
lovely Queen I just want to say a big
0:38
big thank you to lingo de for sponsoring
0:41
this video if you haven't heard of lingo
0:43
too before they are an online school
0:45
where you can learn German Spanish
0:48
English French and business English and
0:51
they do one-to-one and group lessons
0:53
it's a great platform and halfway
0:55
through this video I'm going to tell you
0:57
about an amazing offer which could be
1:00
the savior to your boredom right now
1:02
during the quarantine and this offer
1:04
gives you the chance to take 90 lessons
1:07
in English and then get all of your
1:09
money back so if you can't wait to hear
1:12
about that you can go to this point in
1:14
the video if not let's get going with
1:17
the interviews and I'll tell you a bit
1:18
more about that later what do you think
1:21
about the British monarchy oh wow I
1:24
think I've got a little bit of a soft
1:27
spot for the for the British for the
1:30
British born okay okay so I have
1:34
I think I think it tames if they are
1:39
there good publicity mm-hmm and I think
1:43
particularly when were looking at the
1:46
Harry generation I think that that
1:52
generation has become very very very
1:55
much more personable and the people can
1:58
relate like when I was younger I was the
2:07
biggest fan of the Royals I have to say
2:09
it's died down a bit now but before yeah
2:12
everyone really just cowards like the
2:16
Queen eat sausages and like all those
2:18
kind of table conversation yeah that was
2:27
not she was young yeah no major opinion
2:32
but I think the people that try and make
2:34
them out to be better than your average
2:36
person but when you do some research on
2:39
their family politics they see my
2:41
muscles dysfunctional as everyone else
2:43
you know when you really find out what's
2:44
going on so yeah scrambled because
2:58
they're not as messy triangles how do
3:09
you feel about our monarchy kind of
3:12
indifferent really it doesn't I'm not
3:15
really sure why it's still a thing
3:17
I probably think you guys we don't
3:19
really know why it's still a thing
3:20
unelected people who take a lot of
3:23
taxpayers money for nothing yeah it's
3:29
sort of fun but it's ridiculous I wonder
3:32
how you feel about the monarchy whether
3:34
you know don't care okay having said
3:40
that I was standing on this look at
3:42
thing over there before and it said the
3:43
Queen had stood on the same point and I
3:47
that's nice okay but that's about it
3:48
okay and I do the what she's Harry the
3:53
young fella yes and he's done a done a
3:55
runner
3:55
yeah yeah yeah I think maybe little bit
4:01
of pressure from the missus but hey guys
4:11
I'm just gonna take a really short break
4:13
to talk about the lingo that Sprint
4:15
which is that offer that I mentioned to
4:18
you earlier so as I mentioned before
4:20
lingo des is an online school where you
4:23
can learn German French Spanish English
4:25
and business English and the classes are
4:28
done on an online platform much like
4:31
Skype I've been using in goda for a
4:33
while now for my Spanish and I really
4:35
like it because it gives you the
4:37
confidence to speak in front of others
4:39
the lessons are in groups you get used
4:41
to people hearing you speaking the
4:43
language which naturally builds your
4:45
confidence in speaking on top of that
4:47
lingo to structure your learning and
4:49
there is a curriculum which has been
4:51
specifically designed to help you reach
4:53
the next level in your language learning
4:55
journey and if you are somebody who
4:57
feels they've reached a level maybe a
4:59
pre intermediate intermediate upper
5:01
intermediate but you're struggling to
5:03
get to the next level then go to have a
5:05
really really good challenge coming up
5:08
which we think you should get involved
5:11
in the lingo the language sprint is a
5:13
challenge which is intended to help you
5:15
improve your English rapidly through
5:18
regular use of the language so the
5:21
Sprint has two options we have option
5:23
one
5:23
the super sprint which is three months
5:27
of 30 lessons per month so you have to
5:30
do a lesson every single day and then if
5:33
you complete that and then go to give
5:34
you all of your money back so that's 90
5:37
hours of English for free basically you
5:40
have to pay for those months but then if
5:42
you complete all of those lessons and
5:44
follow the Sprint rules you will get
5:46
your money back the second option if you
5:49
don't have so much free time is the
5:51
Sprint which is a really good option I
5:53
did this before in Spanish and this is
5:55
15 lessons for three months and then if
5:58
you complete
5:58
you get 50% of your money back another
6:01
really good offer and it works out to be
6:04
incredibly affordable the Sprint starts
6:07
on the 8th of April and ends on the 6th
6:10
of July the closing date for the signup
6:13
is the 3rd of April so you don't have
6:15
long and lingo to have told us that
6:18
there are limited spaces so if you're
6:20
thinking about doing it
6:21
we recommend acting fast so that you
6:24
definitely get a space and to be honest
6:27
it's come that's a really good time
6:29
because I think most of the world are in
6:31
lockdown at the moment I am is quite
6:33
boring if you have free time and you
6:36
want to do something positive with that
6:38
time and progress towards your goals
6:40
this is a great option for you it really
6:44
is it's perfect so what are you waiting
6:47
for this is the cure to your boredom
6:49

6:52

your money back at the end of it I'm
7:17
done waffling now let's get back to the
7:19
introduce about our lovely Queenie your
7:22
opinion of the British monarchy it's not
7:25
really as I don't know where that part
7:27
of the reason is that you've been in
7:28
Australia you've been out of Britain
7:30
it's not really and there is a tendency
7:33
in some areas of Scotland that anything
7:38
to do with English is just a debate yeah
7:41
yeah ok I thought I don't really follow
7:43
them I don't really follow them but
7:45
there are a lot supposed to do right but
7:47
there is very much a kind of England
7:49
Scotland debates what do you think about
7:51
the way that the media portraying
7:53
in Australia so I've seen some magazines
7:56
that make me stunned what they can say
7:59
on the magazine I think that that that
8:02
they have to do that in order to sell
8:05
right because it's only friend you've
8:08
got terribly terribly bad news yeah that
8:12
makes headlines yes like when you say
8:14
nice things all the time of it everybody
8:17
that's that's not that's nice lots of
8:20
salt for years that's really been their
8:23
thing always find something it's a bit
8:25
nasty of it the Internet has made your
8:32
papers or magazines worse they've always
8:33
been like that
8:36
yeah what do you hear about the monarchy
8:38
that in the media and stuff so obviously
8:41
there's that like Harry's decided to
8:43
leave yeah that's a big deal but also
8:46
why who cares yeah but also if it was
8:51
around til I'm dead I don't care doesn't
8:52
matter not really I just knew - yeah
8:59
mutual okay I think he's be take it or
9:02
leave it
9:02
yeah cuz same name is that are you sure
9:11
I was pretty excited with yeah
9:13
Prince was born yeah if that is that
9:16
Williams yeah the crown series yes I had
9:27
sparked a lot of a spark retort lot of
9:30
interest even in the Scottish I couldn't
9:34
speak for the Scottie Scottie I think
9:38
that they've been watching in Scotland
9:40
yeah yeah now look I'm not a royal fan I
9:43
don't I don't not like him and I don't
9:46
like I'm did that's nothing to me
9:49
yeah indifferent well there we have it
9:53
that's what people here in Australia
9:55
think about the British monarchy but we
9:58
would love to know your opinion so tell
10:00
us in the comments if you think it
10:02
should be abolished they should remain
10:04

10:07
