00:17	Hello, Ann! How are you doing?
00:19	I'm fine.
00:20	Ann, could you introduce yourself and tell people where you are from?
00:24	Yeah, my name's Ann Hutchingson and I'm from Montreal, Canada. And right now I'm an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan.
00:33	Mm. OK. What's Montreal like?
00:35	Montreal is a really nice city. It's just very cold in the wintertime.
00:40	It is..uh, it has four seasons, and the nicest season is the summertime because it's really warm and people play a lot of sports,
00:49	and there are some parks in Montreal, and you can go swimming and hiking and biking and rollerblading. It's a very interesing city.
00:59	Wow! Were you born in Montreal?
01:01	I was born in Montreal and I can speak two languages. English is my first language but I also studied French in high school.
01:09	So, were you in a submersion program, or all your subjects in French.
01:13	No, I went to an English high school but a lot of people in Montreal are in immersion programs.
01:21	OK. Since you learned French, what do you think is the best way to learn language?
01:25	I think that you have to like learning another language and if you have a possitive attitude then you can find learning another language fun rather than stressful
01:37	so I think that I had a few French friends and we would practice and they would be very patient and I liked the fact that I could communicate using another language cause then you have another identity.
01:53	You have your French identity?
01:55	I do.
01:57	OK. So what's your name in French?
01:58	"Mono e Ann"
02:00	Wow! I need to get myself a French name?
02:05	Todd.
02:07	OK. Thanks a lot Ann.
02:09	You're welcome. Nice speaking with you.

00:02	Hey Leath! Do you want to go ahead and talk about the story you we're going to say?
00:07	OK, um, yeah, this was about, I'd say a year and a half ago and it was in Harare, the capital, where my mom lives.
00:18	I was on holiday back home seeing my mom and anyway it's a Sunday morning and I was in the shower, got up pretty late, it must have been about half ten,
00:29	and all of a sudden my mom burst into the shower and said," Leath, Leath, there's a snake, there's a snake in the kitchen".
00:36	And so I thought, "Ah, what kind of snake would this be" cause we live in the capital, residential area, almost high-rise.
00:47	Well, not high rise, but residential area.
00:53	And so I put a towel around my waist and walked bad-temperedly throught to the kitchen.
00:59	Um, attached to the kitchen we've got this little courtyard, where we set out to have morning coffee and breakfast. It's tiled and leads onto a small garden.
01:07	And so I walked out onto the courtyard and there was a seven foot Egyptian cobra! Wow.
01:13	I was really, really blow away because I know a bit about snakes and I know that a bite from an Egyptian cobra in a country where antidote isn't readily available is almost certainly fatal.
01:29	And, there we were, mom and I, with a seven foot Egyptian cobra slithering between the courtyard and our kitchen.
01:38	And, eventually, we trapped it in the courtyard and I went to fetch guys who work for national parks.
01:46	National parks are the guys who kind of look after animal problems within the city,
01:51	and, uh, brought them around, and we were hoping that they were going to catch it because Zimbabwe isn't so rich at the moment and stuff like that.
02:00	They don't have the facilities to keep caught animals so unless it's endangered they just shoot it, so the guy shot our seven foot cobra.
02:10	Oh, they shot it, uh!
02:13	Yeah, and we had to bury it out back.
02:15	Really, well, still I'm glad, you just didn't want to be bitten or anything.
02:20	No, no. No way.
02:22	What a story!
