BBC Learning English - Interview with Emmet Emmet访谈

　　Emmet: Absolutely. If anyone can give me any advice out there, I’d be glad to have it.

　　Feifei: 那么 Emmet 也说他希望大家能写信告诉他和帮助他一起来学习汉语。 Now originally you’re from Ireland aren’t you?

　　Emmet: That’s right, I’m from the Republic of Ireland.

　　Feifei: Emmet 来自于爱尔兰 Ireland. I don’t think many Chinese people know about Ireland. What languages do people speak there?

　　Emmet: We speak English. I also speak Irish, which is still taught in schools at home. But most people don’t speak Irish, we speak English.

　　Feifei: So you speak Irish. Can you teach me how I can say, “My name’s Feifei” in Irish?

　　Emmet: Yeah, course I can. Feifei is ainm dom.

　　Feifei: Feifei is ainm dom.

　　Emmet: Can you try that again?!

　　Feifei: Yeah.

　　Emmet: Feifei is ainm dom.

　　Feifei: Ainm dom.

　　Emmet: That’s it.

　　Feifei: Feifei is ainm dom.

　　Emmet: Perfect!

　　Feifei: I can speak Irish now! And, how does life in London compare to life in Ireland?

　　Emmet: It’s not all that dissimilar. I mean, we’ve got the same language obviously. Dublin is a very vibrant city, like London is.
