Ben talks about swear words, and the way they differ between cultures. Generally the Kenyans in Jersey are very shocked at the amount of swearing they hear. It's very unusual in Kenya to swear.
Ben Mark Oyugi
Ben talks about how the "slang" terms "mum" and "dad" for parents are increasingly used in Kenya, whereas he used to be more formal.
Donald Mzungu
Donald explains why his English has declined rather than improved since coming to Jersey.
Long description of interview: This group are all employees of the Merton Hotel, a family hotel not far from the centre of St Helier. Donald, Ben and Irene are all originally from Kenya, while Marisa is from Germany. They are all quite talkative as a group, although Donald is probably the most vocal. Ben is a former school teacher and has a lot to say about language. Irene, who has a young son, has strong views on children and pregnancy which differ quite a lot from the men's.
