[0:25] Welcome to Easy English... Welcome to the Easy English Podcast. For those of you listening, you should be made aware, as per usual, that this episode is also available as a video episode on our YouTube channel. Because in this one, I'm going to be showing you some pictures and you might also want to look and watch along, as we identify five work habits that Germans might not understand.
Isi:
[1:03] Oh.
Mitch:
[1:03] And, I've harnessed the power of AI to create some images of typical work scenarios in the UK, which might be a little bit strange, not just for Germans, but for you guys, wherever you're watching from, if it's not in the UK.
Isi:
[1:23] Okay. I don't know what's coming, but I'm prepared for nothing.
Mitch:
[1:31] But, before we go into this week's topic, we have an exciting announcement that we've been working on over the summer, right Isi?
Isi:
[1:42] Yes. We changed our memberships, I think that's the first announcement. And with that, also produced a new trailer on our YouTube channel, so if you're listening, hop over there. If you're on the YouTube channel, click on it here, somewhere. So yeah, there's a new trailer, a very detailed, long trailer, that explains everything about our memberships, about our work, about our content, so please, please watch that.

You know, our podcasts and videos are free to watch and listen to, so becoming a member not only helps you learn with us, but also helps keep our project running. It's just a small amount you pay every month if you were to join the Supporter Membership and in return we'd also invite you to join our Discord server, which is a chat-based app, Is that right?
Isi:
[3:13] Server. Tool.
Mitch:
[3:14] Tool, where you can meet other members like yourself, who are supporting us, who are learning with us. But you can also meet with myself and Isi, and we'll discuss
