A: | Hello, Intel Language Centre. Debbie speaking. How may I help you? |
B: | Oh, hi. I wanted to ask about some of your language courses. |
A: | Yes. Which language were you interested in studying? |
B: | Well, that's the thing, you see, I'm not really sure. I've always wanted to study Spanish – I just love the Spanish poets, you see – it would be so marvellous to read them in the original. |
A: | Yes. |
B: | But my wife's Greek and we're going to Greece in the summer, and it would be kind of good to be able to communicate a bit with her parents, so maybe I should study Greek. |
A: | Well, that does sound like a good reason to study. Perhaps you could study both. |
B: | Hmm ... no, I'm pretty busy with work at the moment, so I think I'd better just make it the one language. The Greek classes, when are they? |
A: | Well, it depends on the level – different levels are on different days. Would you be a beginner? |
B: | Um, I'm not sure. I've been to Greece quite a few times, and I always pick up a bit when I'm there – you know, I can say hello, chat a bit in the cafés, stuff like that. |
A: | Oh, right. You'd probably be best in an elementary-level class, then – you know, for people who can already speak a bit, but don't necessarily know any grammar, or how to write or anything. |
B: | Yes, that sounds like me. |
A: | Well, those classes are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, from 6 to 8 p.m. |
B: | OK. And when does the next course start? |
A: | In five weeks' time. I'll tell you what, why don't I fill in an enrolment form for you now, over the telephone – for the Greek course – and I can send you more information about the courses and the centre in general. |
B: | OK, that'd be great. |
A: | So, your name? |
B: | Phil, Phil Bennett. That's with double n and double t. |
A: | Double t, OK. And your address? |
B: | Flat 2, 24 Barton St, Charleston, 9705. |
A: | Sorry, what was that post code again? |
B: | 9705 |
A: | Right, and your phone number? |
B: | 678 9970 |
A: | OK, Phil, well the next course starts on the fourth of July, so I'll put you down for that one, yeah? |
B: | Yeah, for the Greek. And maybe I'd better do the beginner – at least to start with. |
A: | OK, beginner's class. We'll give you a little test when you come in anyway. |
B: | Oh good. And could you tell me how much it is? |
A: | Yes. The course lasts for three months and is twice a week. The cost is $350, and that covers tuition and your books. |
B: | OK. Well, thanks very much Debbie – and you'll send me that information, right? |
A: | Yes, it'll be in the post today. Well, bye Phil. |
B: | Bye. |
