Emma (00:02):
This is Dialogue Frog's podcast in English. So, the other day I noticed on my Netflix account-
Luke (00:10):
Uh huh.
Emma (00:10):
...there are a ton of like, shows about big houses or tiny houses or remote houses, all kinds of houses, to the point where I'm like, who is watching these things?
Luke (00:26):
Yeah.
Emma (00:27):
But also I kinda of wanted to watch them to see all of the different kinds of houses. Do you watch that kinda show?
Luke (00:35):
I don't.
Emma (00:36):
No?
Luke (00:38):
I think it makes me ungrateful for what I have.
Emma (00:41):
Oh yeah. But do you still have like this, a dream home, like, is there a kind of house or a location for a house, or a kind of house in a kind of location that if you had ultimate resources you'd want to live there?
Luke (00:59):
I think a log cabin in the mountains, surrounded by various forest creatures who all stay within a safe distance of my home, but they're still there.
Emma (01:10):
So you can see the bears on the hill far away.
Luke (01:14):
Yeah. That's true.
Emma (01:15):
The bears aren't going to eat you, but you can see the bears.
Luke (01:18):
That's true. Yeah.
Emma (01:21):
I, I think I'd still be nervous to see the bears.
Luke (01:26):
Well, there's a stream right there with salmon in it, so they're too busy eating-
Emma (01:29):
Right.
Luke (01:29):
-the salmon to, to get me.
Emma (01:33):
That is an excellent idea. Plan to have that, that salmon river next to the log cabin in your mountains. Very good idea.
Luke (01:42):
How 'bout you? What's your dream home like?
Emma (01:45):
I kind of, I would like a house that has a library and like one of those like, uh, towers, like a circular kind of like a castle, but not necessarily a castle.
Luke (01:58):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Emma (02:01):
A Victorian style house, I think they are. And I would want that- I I'd want just a library with a space to read and, and a, a window that faces to the south, so that's it's always bright and sunny. And it needs to have a nice backyard. No bears! No bears in my yard, but a nice garden where I can go out and have coffee and also read and string a hammock.
Luke (02:29):
That sounds very relaxing. Especially the no bears part.
Emma (02:34):
Yes. Okay. Well, this has been another podcast in English with Dialogue Frog. For more episodes of the podcast in English and transcripts and vocabulary lists, please visit our website dialoguefrog.com.
