 Todd: OK, so Nanju, I'm going to ask you about things that people are sometimes afraid of. Are you afraid of flying?

 
Nanju: No
 
Todd: No. Do you fly a lot?
 
Nanju: No, if I am getting opportunity I will be very happy.
 
Todd: Really!
 
Nanju: Yeah sure!
 
Todd: OK, are you afraid of snakes?
 
Nanju: No.
 
Todd: No!
 
Nanju: No.
 
Todd: Now, India has cobras.
 
Nanju: Yeah, it's a lot of cobras. I have seen a lot of cobras, and fighting with cobras, each other, but run away so I can not.
 
Todd: So, you're not afraid of cobras?
 
Nanju: No
 
Todd: Like have you ever seen a cobra by your house?
 
Nanju: Yeah, I have seen a lot of cobras, which is going to be 12 feet.
 
Todd: Really!
 
Nanju: Yeah, sure.
 
Todd: And your not afraid?
 
Nanju: No, I will get some sticks and go through about from my home or something.
 
Todd: So you get a stick and you go and kill it?
 
Nanju: No, I won't kill it. Killing1 of cobra is very illegal in India. Not illegal, it's like god, so we won't.
 
Todd: Sin2. It's a sin. Oh, wow.
 
Nanju: So we won't kill that cobra or something.
 
Todd: Wow, very fascinating. Thank you.

Learn Vocabulary from the lesson
flying
 
Are you afraid of flying?
 
In this case "flying" is not flying like a bird, but rather traveling by plane.  Notice the following:
 
Are you flying to Miami or driving?
I am flying to Bogota early tomorrow morning.
opportunity
 
If I get the opportunity to fly I will be very happy.
 
In this example, "opportunity" can be replaced by "chance" or it is a good situation to do something.  Notice the following:
 
She has the opportunity to learn a lot in her job.
His boss gave him the opportunity to work with the company's most important client3.
sure
 
Yeah, sure.
 
In the example, "sure" has a similar meaning to "of course" or "yes."  It is a word of agreement.  Notice the following:
 
Sure.  I'll help you study for your exam.
Sure.  We would love to come to your cabin4 this weekend.
each other
 
I've seen cobras fighting with each other.
 
"Each other" is a pronoun5 used, in this example, to describe the actions between one cobra and another.  They are both performing the same action, directed at the other cobra.  Notice the following:
 
They have liked each other since they were 13 years old.
We looked at each other across the restaurant.
sin
 
In India it's a sin to kill a cobra.
 
A "sin" is a moral6 or religious crime.  For example, killing another person is both a religious crime and a legal crime.  Notice the following:
 
Do you think telling lies is a sin?
It is a sin to steal from another person.
