  Asking personal questions | |
Colin has to dub audio onto a series of Vox Pops asking people about where they live and what they do. Here's his questions and their answers.

For professions or beings, only use "Is ... mé" (= I am a ...). Colin knows that he would end up having to provide triple filtered mineral water from the Himalayas for the rest of Cumberland's days if he ever uttered the inexcusable "Tá mé múinteoir" ("múinteoir" = a teacher) or "Tá mé madra" ("madra" = a dog).
