William: Hello and welcome to the English We Speak, I'm William Kremer.
Wang Fei: And I'm Wang Fei. William I hope we finish recording quickly today.
William: Oh, why's that?
Wang Fei: I need to get to the bank before it closes.
William: Oh I see.
Wang Fei: Yes, just need to move some money around. I've got to move some money into a high interest account and transfer some into my investment account...
William: Look at you Wang Fei. High-interest accounts and investment accounts. You really are quite money-savvy aren't you?
Wang Fei: Money what?
William: Money-savvy.
Wang Fei: Money-savvy?
William: Yeah. It means you're good with money. You know what you're doing with it, how to invest it, that kind of thing.
Wang Fei: Well, I guess I am. I do look after my money.
William: I wish I was a bit more money-savvy like you! But I am quite good with technology. You know, you wouldn't need to rush to the bank if you tried online banking.
Wang Fei: Online banking? Not for me. I just don't really trust it.
William: Maybe you should try it.
Wang Fei: No, I just don't feel safe doing that. I'm not very... can I say... technologically savvy?
William: Yes, you can say technologically savvy or just tech-savvy. Or you might say that you're not very web-savvy, as we're talking about the web, the internet.
? I wouldn't recommend you go down that street after dark. It's just not safe. And you're not very street-savvy to be honest with you.
? A: So what do you think of the new flower shop?
B: It's in a good location, and the owner is really business-savvy. I'm sure it'll be a great success.
Wang Fei: Money-savvy, tech-savvy...
William: And business-savvy. You can be savvy about a lot of things. So are you going to go to the bank in the end?
Wang Fei: No I think I'll sign up for an online account. Give it a go.
William: And I might buy those stocks that you were suggesting.
Wang Fei: Great. And let's hope all our listeners are a bit more slang-savvy after this programme.
William: Bye for now.
Wang Fei: Bye.
