Could anyone help me transcribe this? - Faraz - 04-29-2014 09:25 AM I'm learning English and trying to understand what people are saying in these audio files. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this. 1 - Please listen to this: http://www.4shared.com/mp3/hTUFA44dba/22_online.html is he saying "I'm taking bass lessons to expand my repertoire"? 2 - Please listen to this one: http://www.4shared.com/mp3/mHviJgdMba/AppenScribe_-_Qualification_Te.html is he saying "i have been off work ???? for the last two weeks"? Thanks a lot. - boo - 04-29-2014 09:33 AM 1) Yes, "I'm taking bass lessons to expand my repertoire." Meaning: He's learning more songs to add to his [mental]collection of songs he already knows how to play. The bass is a bass guitar... an instrument. 2) "I have been off work with pneumonia for the last two weeks" Meaning: pneumonia is a contagious (spreadable) illness that affects the respiratory system (lungs). He's been staying home from work the last two weeks because he's sick. |
