What can you do?

Abidemi and Rory talk about things they can do, like cooking, and things they cannot do well.

 

Rory: So Abidemi, let's talk about abilities. Can you cook?

Abidemi: Yes, and no. I can cook a little bit, the basic stuff but I really like to eat but I don't experiment too much. So no, I'm not a great cook, but I can cook. I cook to survive. What about you, Rory? Can you cook?

Rory: Yeah, I can. I really like cooking. I love cooking Italian food. I also love baking. So I can bake cakes and cookies and bread, stuff like that.

Abidemi: Okay.

Rory: How about singing? Can you sing?

Abidemi: I think I can sing. Yes, I enjoy singing. I love singing. I sing a lot in church, so I can sing. What about you? Can you sing?

Rory: I can't sing at all. Like even when I go to karaoke, I'm too embarrassed to pick up the microphone.

Abidemi: Oh, it's too bad. What about you, Rory, can you play – okay, can you play an instrument?

Rory: I can't. No. I'd love to be able to play an instrument but I can't play anything. How about you? Can you play an instrument?

Abidemi: No, I can't. I really wish that I had learned something when I was younger. But I say I can play my voice. Ha, ha.

Rory: That's nice.

Abidemi: What about juggling? Can you juggle, Rory?

Rory: Yeah, I can juggle. I can juggle with three balls and I can almost juggle with four.

Abidemi: Wow.

Rory: Like I can do it for about 10 seconds. Yeah.

Abidemi: I can't juggle at all. So please teach me. It's always something that I've always wanted – I wanted to learn.

Rory: Okay. Can you speak three languages?

Abidemi: Yes. I think I can speak three languages.

Rory: Which ones?

Abidemi: I think English is my best language but I also speak Yoruba, a Nigerian language, and I speak French as well. Yes.

And you?

Rory: Well, I can speak English and I can speak some Czech. I lived in the Czech Republic for six years.

Abidemi: Wow.

Rory: And I can also speak a little bit of French but it's very rusty.

Abidemi: Okay. Maybe next time we'll have this conversation in French then.

Rory: Okay.
