on the streets of London to expose you to some naturally spoken English so

let's see who we find today

what's the first thing you notice when you meet someone new

their hair yeah what if they're wearing a hat

if they're bald or not okay

what is the first thing you notice when you meet someone

their face

before we start the video we wanted to tell you about a language

learning platform that Harry and I have been using heavily for the last two

years this website is called italki and we love it not only because it's

convenient and it's user friendly it's also super affordable but furthermore

it's connecting you with an actual native teacher so we highly recommend

you check out italki just how Charles has done as a professional football player

who's just joined Arsenal and we're gonna see how he likes italki thank

you for giving us 20 seconds of your time Charles

it is not a problem not at all

can you quickly tell the

fans why you decided to come to italki and learn online instead of staying in

the traditional classroom yes it is quite simple really I could not get to

the class because I am playing football all day it is a very intensive training so

online is a very convenient for me to practice my English

Thank You Charles

back to the studio yes so we've partnered up with

italki and because of that we've managed to get you ten dollars worth of

italki credits once you sign up for your first lesson

so enjoy this video learn all the vocabulary that we're about to give you

and then hit the link in the description box below to get your class and practice

with a native teacher couldn't be better so we hope you enjoy that enjoy the

video name the first thing that you notice when you meet somebody new

oh their eyes

why are the eyes so special cuz you look into them first

that's how you see anyway yeah or if they have pretty eyes

yeah and you like them

if they're just dull eyes then well then you pretend like they're pretty for their sake

I think mouth in my case oh right

I tend to look at people being slightly deaf I think I lip read a bit you know

and so I tend to look at people's mouths rather than their eyes

anything else that's really important their smile yeah

okay

what's the first thing you notice when you meet someone new their eyes their

teeth okay do you look into their dental records [laughter] no

do you like it if they've got glasses is that a deal breaker I don't care

you don't care contact lenses I don't care, no

take anything yeah

their smile probably generally speaking British people are quite stereotypically

bad with smiling at people in the street but oh really

I think it's quite important in this day and age so yeah

their face or like their outfit what did you think when you first saw our outfits

studenty [laughter] that's a good one

yeah d'you know what I mean I do yeah I feel quite studenty

yeah yeah something like that

I think it's me trying to hold

on to my youth yeah cling to the last shreds

what's something that you notice about someone when you

meet them instantly instantly how good-looking they are

how good-looking they are

would you say in New Zealand people are more smiley yeah I'd say that

I'd say that I think that people just get a bad rep and especially big cities

like London for being busy and not very approachable but most Londoners I

feel they are quite approachable good

do you make a conscious effort to just stare at the

mouth or do you go back and forth between the eyes and the

mouth or yeah well I think you should look people in the eyes they expect it

so I make that conscious effort yeah you look at your person's face yes and

then you ask questions and hopefully you get a feeling for what sort of person

they are yeah in a short period of time

do you think it's strange because I

was talking to Charlie about this the other day he said if you look at someone

in the eyes for longer than five seconds people get a bit weirded out they feel

uneasy how do you feel about that no I wouldn't never experienced that no

I s'pose [suppose] yeah perhaps you're right looking at you now yeah [laughter]

I am not like my wife she very much

looks at the person and decides what they're like before even having their

conversation which annoys me intensely because there are beauty is only

skin-deep some people have very piercing eyes don't they

yeah like Hitler the Hitler stare

his eyes were very distinctive apparently yeah he had a very piercing menacing gaze

yeah well you haven't you have lovely soft eyes

so you like to give them a bit more time yeah I do yeah

does your wife give them a second chance no

no right so she's quite cut-throat yeah

anything else that you notice first thing what about with your wife what did you

I suppose you notice the way they're

dressed don't you and you form an impression about them by the way they're dressed I suppose

and you kind of expect a certain style of dress with certain people don't you I

mean I would look at these youngsters over here and everyone is wearing trainers

you know there's not one proper pair of shoes amongst them and that's the way they are

I mean like today I'm wearing a jacket I'm not wearing a tie but

you look dapper you look very dapper the hat the long coat the shoes

yeah I mean not many people

have proper raincoats these days I don't suppose no

and that's a hangover from when I was at

work you know so yeah

still got it when I retired you've got style I think the older generations have a lot

more style than we do nowadays so we're going to leave Harry there to reminisce over the older

generation and they're less studenty appearance and ask you the same question

you notice about someone when you meet them for the first time go ahead and
