00:34Oh, good evening, Mr. Bough.
00:44Good evening, Gladys.
00:45How are you?
00:46Oh, you'll get me shot, though, for her ladyship.
00:49I wish you won't miss one.
00:50Oh.
00:51Is the old dragon in?
00:53Yes, the old dragon is.
00:54Oh.
00:55Evening.
00:56I'll take that.
00:57Yes.
00:57Well, are we economising on biscuits, Gladys?
01:00I'll get you some more.
01:03I don't think she likes me.
01:05She doesn't like anybody.
01:07Oh, by the way, many happy returns of the day.
01:10How did you know it was my birthday?
01:11I saw your date of birth last week in a ladyship's ledger.
01:15Accidentally, of course.
01:16Oh, of course.
01:18Haven't told anybody else it's my birthday, have you?
01:20No, not a soul.
01:21Oh, good.
01:23Quick, please.
01:24DJ, come in.
01:26Ah.
01:27Good evening.
01:27Ready?
01:28Eins, zwei, drei.
01:31Happy birthday to you.
01:34Happy birthday to you.
01:38Happy birthday, dear man.
01:42Happy birthday to you.
01:47Wasn't that nice?
01:50Hadn't told a soul, eh?
01:51Well, I might have mentioned it to one or two people.
01:55Well, thank you all for your good wishes.
01:56You're wanting to show our appreciation.
01:58Well, that's very kind of you.
02:00And we are all buying you a little present.
02:02What?
02:03Yeah, you shouldn't have.
02:04But we already have.
02:08May your shadow never diminish.
02:14Can I open it now?
02:15Yes, please.
02:16It is something for you to be using every day.
02:20Oh, a pen.
02:21Very nice.
02:22It is what you are calling a waterfall pen.
02:27A waterfall pen?
02:28That is correct.
02:30Ah, you mean a fountain pen.
02:32A thousand apologies for my ignorance.
02:35Excuse me.
02:37What for you buy a pen?
02:38For birthday.
02:39I buy the pen.
02:40I'm not knowing what you are buying.
02:42Well, you take your pen and change for something else.
02:44No, it is you who must be changing.
02:47Teacher prefer my pen.
02:48Ah, you know.
02:50Mr. Brown, my pen is much better.
02:52It writes underwater.
02:54Oh, I'm sure that's very useful.
02:56My pen writes in different colors.
02:58Well, I'll tell you what.
02:58I'll take both pens.
02:59I mean, after all, two pens are better than one.
03:02Excuse.
03:02Please, sir.
03:03Yes, Terry.
03:06Oh.
03:08Three pens are better than two.
03:13You haven't.
03:14Yes.
03:15Well, I'll tell you what.
03:16Rather than show any preference, I think it'd be a good idea if you all exchanged your pens
03:20for something else.
03:21All right.
03:22But thank you, Lenny.
03:25Por favor.
03:26Yes, Juan.
03:29Felicidades en su cumpleaños.
03:31Por favor.
03:31Pardon.
03:33Happy born day.
03:35Birthday.
03:35Si, si.
03:36Oh, thank you.
03:37I wonder what this is.
03:39Pluma estilographica.
03:42Yeah?
03:42What's that?
03:43Pen.
03:46Oh, dear.
03:47I changed.
03:48Yeah, I think so.
03:49Solari.
03:49But thank you.
03:51Happy birthday, professori.
03:52Thank you, Giovanni.
03:54For you.
03:56Well, at least it's not a pen.
03:58It's a salami.
03:59Much garlic.
03:59Very strong.
04:00Yeah, I can smell that.
04:04Quiz, please.
04:05Many happy returnings.
04:07Thank you, Ellie.
04:08I'm buying for you nothing at all.
04:13Oh, well, never mind.
04:15But I'm giving you this.
04:16Oh, a card?
04:17Oh, no.
04:18Inside you will be finding a gift voucher from Arids.
04:21Arids?
04:22Oh, yes, please.
04:23And you can be buying anything whatsoever you are wishing.
04:26Anything?
04:27Yes.
04:28From Harrods of Knightsbury?
04:29You know, please.
04:30Harrods of Camden.
04:32Now, we're at a second-hand shop.
04:34Nothing over one pound.
04:37Well, thank you, Alif.
04:38Master Ji, are you 12 days?

05:15No.

05:18No.
05:19No.
05:21Holy cow.
05:23Now it is my turn to give you something.
05:31Yes, Daniel.
05:33But first, I wish you happy birthday as we do in France.
05:44Quiet, quiet.
05:47Thank you, Daniel.
05:48Um, and I have something very French.
05:53Oh, thank you.
05:55Oh, eau de toilette.
05:57Merci beaucoup.
05:58Je vous en prie.
05:59It is a pleasure for me to give you something.
06:04Excuse, please.
06:05What is the nature of the gift you are receiving from Daniel?
06:09Eau de toilette.
06:10Toilet water.
06:11You put it on your face.
06:12Yes, Daniel.
06:13You are putting water from the toilet on your face.
06:21No, Ali.
06:22It's not that kind of toilet.
06:24Very good.
06:26May the spirit of universal brotherhood descend upon you.
06:29Well, I'm sure it will.
06:31Book to lead every day.
06:32Oh, I hope it's a good read.
06:34The best.
06:35Thoughts of Chairman Mao.
06:38Very uplifting.
06:40Personary autographed.
06:41By Mao?
06:42By me.
06:43Now is me.
06:48Yes, Anna.
06:50I have made for you
06:51ein großer Apfelstrudel.
06:54It's very gross.
06:56Danke.
06:56Bitte.
06:58Well, thank you all for your generous gifts.
07:02But I really think we ought to get on with the lesson.
07:05Now, this week,
07:07we're going to look at the vowel sounds, right?
07:11Now, does anybody know what a vowel sound is?
07:13Yes, please.
07:14It is a rumbling tummy.
07:19Well, Ali, vowel, not bowel.
07:21Sorry, please.
07:22Right, well, there are five vowels in the alphabet.
07:25Let A, E, I, O, and U.
07:28A, E, I, O, U.
07:34Good.
07:35Now, firstly, we'll take the letter A.
07:37Now, this can be pronounced in three different ways.
07:39It can be A, A, or R.
07:42A, A, A, or R.
07:47Excuse me.
07:48Yes, Max.
07:48I'm not understanding.
07:50How can a A be a R?
07:54It's not the letter R.
07:56It's sometimes pronounced R.
07:59And I am a what language?
08:01It's all right.
08:02I'll give you some examples.
08:03Let us take the word F, A, T.
08:06Now, that has a flat A sound.
08:10Ah.
08:10Ah.
08:12Good.
08:12But, if we add an E to the end of fat, then what do we have?
08:18Fatty.
08:22No, Giovanni.
08:24Fate.
08:24Now, does anybody know what the word fate means?
08:28Por favor.
08:28Yes, Juan.
08:30Two fate.
08:32Two fate?
08:33Yes, senor.
08:34One right fate, one left fate.
08:37No, Juan, those are feet.
08:43Ah.
08:44Perdón.
08:46Right.
08:46Moving on to the E.
08:48Now, the letter E is usually pronounced E.
08:50As in E.
08:51E.
08:52Bet.
08:52Set.
08:53Get.
08:53Get.
08:54There are, of course, exceptions to the rule.
08:56For example, F, E, T, E is also pronounced fate.
09:02Si, senor.
09:03Juan, re, fate.
09:04Juan, re, fate.
09:05No, Juan.
09:08No.
09:08No.
09:09No.
09:09Our feet, I told you before.
09:11It's all right.
09:11It's all right.
09:12Right.
09:13Moving on to the letter I.
09:15This is usually pronounced I or E.
09:17E.
09:18Good.
09:19Now, can anybody give me an example of the E sound?
09:22E.
09:23Well, how would you pronounce F, I, T?
09:28Feet.
09:28Si, senor.
09:29One right V, one left V.
09:32Now, what?
09:33No?
09:34Yeah, imbecile.
09:37You're imbecile?
09:38Imbecile, too.
09:39Italian idiot.
09:40No, la capitona.
09:41Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:43Listen, if you want to argue, argue in English.
09:46Go back to Italy, you Italian spaghetti.
09:48Ah, shut up.
09:49You big Spanish omelette.
09:53Excuse me.
09:54A ladyship wants to see you in the office.
09:56Oh, thank you, Gladys.
09:57I'll be in in a moment.
09:57Yes, all right.
09:58Hey, maybe she's going to get you a birthday present.
10:00Hey, yes, and maybe the Pope's getting married.
10:03He is?
10:06I never heard that.
10:08No, it was a joke.
10:09Look, I'll be as quick as I can.
10:10Meanwhile, if you'll all turn to page 83
10:12and study the sentences giving examples of the various vowel sounds.
10:16Yeah?
10:16Giovanni, would you take charge of the class while I'm away?
10:18Sure.
10:20Allow me.
10:21Okay, I'm in charge.
10:27Who wants a Davina?
10:32Enter.
10:33You wanted to see me, Miss Courtney?
10:35Yes.
10:36Oh, I understand it's your birthday.
10:38That's correct.
10:39Another milestone?
10:40Personally, I don't believe in celebrating birthdays.
10:43I fail to see how the passing of years can be an occasion for rejoicing.
10:47No, of course, you're right, I suppose.
10:49Now, Mr. Brown, when you commenced teaching here,
10:51I said that I would give you a month's trial.
10:54Yes.
10:55Well, that month is now up,
10:56and I feel it only fair to put an end to your worry about the future.
11:00Well, that's very kind of you.
11:01I can assure you, you won't regret it.
11:02I know I won't.
11:04Miss Hardacre will start on Wednesday.
11:06Miss Hardacre?
11:07Yes.
11:08She will be taking over your class.
11:10You remember I did tell you that I prefer women teachers.
11:14You mean I've got the push?
11:15Well, let us just say that we no longer require your services.
11:19I feel that Miss Hardacre will be much more suitable.
11:21Yeah, well, in that case,
11:22I suggest you get Miss much more suitable Hardacre to take over tonight,
11:26because I'm going home.
11:27You can't just walk out like that.
11:29Oh, yes, I can.
11:29And I won't say it's been a pleasure, because it hasn't.
11:32All I can say is...
11:33In India, you'd be sacred.
11:37Ten-a-pee.
11:58Ten-a-pee.
11:58Okay.
