0:08.0	Hello ladies and gentlemen, this is Luke and just a quick podcast another short one today
0:17.6	Just to let you know that I'm still here. I'm still alive. I haven't posted a new podcast for a while now it's because I've been
0:25.4	very busy I know I was on holiday last week and I was having a very nice time relaxing not doing any work and just putting my feet up
0:37.1	which is one of the reasons why I didn't upload a podcast last week because I was just relaxing spending my free time enjoying
0:45.4	myself right but I will upload a new podcast soon I'm back at work now so I'm back in the rhythm of my daily working life so you will
0:56.5	get a new podcast soon. So this is basically another short quick podcast just to say hello and I haven't forgotten about you.
1:06.3	As a matter of fact I've had a couple of emails from a couple of people, an email from someone called Mariano from Buenos Aires in Argentina.
1:19.5	So hello to you Mariano, I just sent you an email as well actually. Mariano's 34 years old he's

1:46.6	read lots of different kinds of books. In fact he's just read the first Harry Potter book in English, which is interesting.
1:55.0	And he's also reading some Jane Austin and some Edgar Allan Poe.

2:07.0	and actually Harry Potter is one of those books that students of English often consider reading because they think
2:16.3	it might be a little bit easier to understand than other books that you find.
2:22.3	And actually I think that Harry Potter is quite a difficult
2:26.2	book to read because, you know, if you're learning English it's quite a difficult book to read because let's see a lot of the
2:36.0	language that they use in Harry Potter is made-up language that means it's, they're not real words that people normally use in their
2:46.6	real life, yeah? The writer of the Harry Potter books, JK Row. Rowling, kind of invented lots of new words that only exist
2:58.1	in the Harry Potter universe.
