毛拉和哈皮回忆起了两人刚认识那会，以及这个节目是怎样开始的
Harp 1: Today, we have a very interesting topic.
Maura: Oh, today’s topic is so interesting and it was suggested to us by a couple of our listeners, so thank you very much for the idea, because we’re looking forward to this episode 2.
Harp: Because today, we’re gonna talk about Culips.
Maura: Yes, we’re going to first start by telling you about how Culips began and how we all met each other and got connected.
Harp: Yup. And then we’re gonna focus on our own experiences with languages, either learning 3 or teaching 4.
Maura: Yeah. And then we’ll also tell you how we came to Montreal and maybe a little bit about Montreal, because we’re not from here. We’re all from different places. So, how and why did we come to this city?
Harp: Exactly. So let’s get started.
Maura: So, Maura and Harp, that’s us. We met… It must be about five years ago. Is it five years ago?
Harp: It is.
Maura: Wow. So, it was almost five years ago that Harp and I took a French class together.
Harp: Yup. Culips started with language, with us trying to learn French.
Maura: Yeah. So, we started taking this very intensive 5 French class, and it was from November to December, and it was actually a really great class, because there’s still a bunch of us from that class that are friends.
Harp: Yeah. A lot of my friends in Montreal are from that class.
Maura: Yup. Or connections to other people that you made from people in that class. It was really just a good little class we had, wasn’t it? Harp: It was.
Maura: And so Harp and I met there, we became friends, we chatted.
Harp: You know, Maura, I know we met in that class, but I don’t remember the exact moment when we met, do you?
Maura: I do, ’cause I remember it and it was so funny.
