So, good afternoon Florian
-
Not Synced
Thank you for participating in my
interview
-
Not Synced
Could you please start by introducing
yourself and telling us a bit about you
-
Not Synced
Yes, I am Florian, I am 33 years old
-
Not Synced
I have been in England for 6 years now
-
Not Synced
I grew up in the South of France
with my Mum and Dad who were fishmongers
-
Not Synced
Up until 19 I was working with my Dad
then I left France
-
Not Synced
I left to go and work in Australia
-
Not Synced
and then Australia is where I met my
partner, who is now my wife
-
Not Synced
an we decided to move to the UK
7 years ago now
-
Not Synced
and yeah, now it's been 5 years since we
opened our restaurant
-
Not Synced
That's great, and why did you decide
to move to Devon?
-
Not Synced
Because my wife is very close to her
family
-
Not Synced
and she didn't want to go further than
England
-
Not Synced
and for me it's because I know how to
speak English
-
Not Synced
my wife knows how to speak English
-
Not Synced
and Australia is harder to immigrate to
-
Not Synced
so we chose England
-
Not Synced
And did you have any knowledge of
English before arriving to England
-
Not Synced
or did you learn it when you arrived here
-
Not Synced
No, I learnt English when I arrived in
Australia
-
Not Synced
when I was 19/20 I left for Australia and
my English was really bad
-
Not Synced
It's still not very good if I'm being
honest
-
Not Synced
I still have a quite French accent
-
Not Synced
but I learnt it in Australia when I was
20
-
Not Synced
so when I arrived in the UK, I already
spoke English
-
Not Synced
Ok, and did you notice that English
language in Australia
-
Not Synced
is a bit different to the English here
in the UK
-
Not Synced
maybe in terms of slang and expressions
and things like that
-
Not Synced
Yes, the expressions, yes exactly
-
Not Synced
but also there are people from the outback
or rural areas as you know
