They did relatively well, although some parts of the podcasts are very hard to understand!!! Why such a poor sound quality? Other than that, I think one of the interviewees sort of monopolised the conversation , whereas the other one simply answered her proposals and suggestions. It also appeared to be too short a conversation and not a very captivating one either, probably due to the lack of contradiction. They seem to have debated the subject before…

I think the girls did really well and, despite of the sound quality, I didn’t have many problems to understand what they said. To my mind, they sounded quite fluent. By the context I could understand the most problematic passages (the ones with poor sound quality).

Generally I like the conversation. What wasn’t good enough for me was the squiality of the sound… I dodin’t like it at all, as it sometimes didn’t allow me to understand what their was saying…
