I feel I'm European I'm a remainer
absolute remainer
so as I'm concerned there are no
boundaries are you a remainer
you know I honestly can't remember hello
and welcome back to real english with real
teachers today i'm in my hometown
bedford i'm walking around by the river
and today we are asking the Bedford
public where would you emigrate to after
post Brexit if you were to emigrate, where would you go?
France. OK, why's that? 'cos I spent a lot of time there
probably Ireland okay any reason for Ireland? We've got
Irish family connections and Ireland would still
be in the EU so I know a couple of people who
have moved to Ireland so it's probably
best bet..safest option.. yeah yeah well one country I would really like is Italy lovely down there
somewhere warmer better weather
okay
for example what place comes to mind? Seville all right well if
Dido is going to Spain perhaps we'd go
to Spain too because (I) can speak the
language a little
"estudio español". Makes sense.. would
you then move to another place knowing
that mum is going there? I wouldn't
get to Seville okay that's all right then. If you
were to emigrate yep you know post
BREXIT it yeah where would you go?
Somewhere in Europe I I mean I feel I'm
European
I'm a remainer absolute remainer
so as far as I'm concerned there are no
boundaries and you know I hate this
colonial British attitude that the leavers
seem to have
America
Okay and why? Because the reason why I go to
America because for the the different
changes seasons you know I was down in
LA one year and you know it's quite
far south you have a kind of mild winter
there you know and so if you don't want
to like be in LA which has an Indian
summer you know like you know which
means that you get the Sun coming up and
then the Sun going back down again if
you don't want an Indian summer you can go
up to Oregon up to the Canadian border
and out further into Canada I just think
like we have a reputation that the older
generation are like the leavers and the
younger generation are the remainers. I
don't think that's the case at all I
think that if you've traveled and you've you
know experienced other cultures you're far
more of a sort of a citizen of the world
than somebody who's kind of like not you
can have a house say in San Diego and
then a house up in Vancouver
Island or something like that in Canada
on the American continent whereas us,
you could say that we can only get down
to st Ives you know on in the
British thing you know in that sense you
and up to Scotland if you were to
emigrate post brexit or before it
happens where would you go? I don't
think I would I would stay in the UK
because I think the UK has got an awful
lot to offer and so much of it that the
vast majority of people living here
probably don't..(hesitation) have never visited if you
were to push me into..(hesitation) overseas I would
possibly say
California Canada closer to home France
maybe Italy Europe somewhere probably
okay well they're lovely people the
Italians to get on with like you know
plus I go to an Italian hairdresser
like and have my hair cut like you know, so
so I chat with him, he seems a very nice bl..(bloke). He was here
during the war, prisoner, and when the war
finished he got job in the Brickfields
in Bedford you know they used
to make bricks here you know by
the million. And err, nice chap, but course
like everybody he's got old and I'm
getting old no I'm not getting old I am old. No you're getting old! Hey guys hope you're enjoying the video
you'll see loads of vocab is popping up
in this video so that you can understand
these native speakers while they're
talking what I've done is put all of
that vocabulary into a lovely list of
flashcards so that you can revise this
vocabulary in your spare time just click
the link in the description box which
says flashcards and you'll get free
access to that vocabulary. France
and Italy why did you go for them
and not someone like Spain
well I suppose Spain would figure too
but Italy everybody says how lovely it
is, beautiful. France I've been to a few
times so I suppose its familiarity (you) learn
French at school yeah but as I say I
think I'd probably stay here okay but
you said England where where would be
like your top place to recommend one of my students go. Oh my
goodness for your students to go to oh
my goodness the Lake District
Northumbria Cornwall Devon Dorset we
love Dorset that's a beautiful County
there's just so much out there but for
me they erm the ideal place in Europe is
a place called Bordeaux which is right on the 45
degree line which is halfway between the
North Pole and the equator so they have..
we're up at about 51 here where we are
Bedford 52 above Stonehenge you know
right
but Bordeaux is right on the 45 line
which means there's a nice nicely
balanced four seasons whereas here we
have a longer winter because it being a
bit north you know bit further north you
know. Probably the price of property
would be with the the biggest factor
I mean I'd love the South of France who
wouldn't? But you know Croatia's really
come up and a lot of the kind of Eastern
European countries so experience something
different. Are you a remainer?
did you vote remain? D'you know I
honestly can't remember I honestly can't
remember but I think like everybody else
I think there wasn't enough information
out there yeah and I think probably now
if I was pushed I would probably stay
remain a difficult one I think leaving
perhaps opens and lots of opportunities
but likewise staying probably closes
some as well I don't know I'm not politically minded
depends it depends on the individual you
know literally about .. they might
like the cold weather the other people
might prefer baking hot you know it's up
to the individual you know yeah but to
live in Europe must I don't know why
people come to living in Britain if they
can live in Europe you know because they
can go right down to Spain and of course
up to Sweden and everything like
it you know but it is it's a it's a very
personal thing such an individual's home
but if I was to take birth if I was to
have a choice if I was to come back and
reincarnate yeah I would go probably live
on the American continent
you know espana I would probably go to
maybe Mallorca like the north of Mallorca
or the Basque Country really like
the best country I think yeah very
nice very good people mountains
countryside gorgeous and what're doing
today? I am walking along the river with
my sister and my mother so that's all
for today but I hope you found this
