Julia: I love this department store.
Sammy: Me, too. Oh!
Julia: What's wrong?
Sammy: I haven't got any money.
Julia: There's a cashpoint just down the road. There! Next to the traffic lights.
Sammy: Oh, yes. I'll see you in five minutes?
Sammy: Hi, Julia? I'm here.
Julia: Oh, that was quick.
Sammy: Where are you?
Julia: Take the lift. And when you come out, go straight on, then left a bit and you'll see me.
Sammy: Great.
Sammy: Take the lift, come out, go straight on, then left a bit and you'll see me.
Sammy: '… come out of the lift, go straight on, then left a bit and you'll see me.' But where? There's nobody here. ... Julia, hi.
Julia: Are you coming?
Sammy: Am I coming? Julia, I'm here. Where are you?
Julia: You're here? Sammy, I'm here. And I don't know where you are, but you're definitely not here.
Sammy: No, no, you're right. I'm not here. Look, I can see shoes. Are you near shoes?
Julia: Yes, I am.
Sammy: Really?!?
Julia: Yes. Can you see the trousers? Jeans, shorts ...
Sammy: Yes.
Julia: I'm near the trousers, looking at the dresses.
Sammy: Dresses?! Julia, there aren't any dresses.
Julia: Yes, there are, Sammy. And I'm looking at them now ...
Sammy: No, there aren't! Not on this floor ...
Julia: 'Not on this floor'? Sammy, which floor are you on?
Sammy: Basement. Men's clothes.
Julia: Women's clothes, Sammy. First floor.
Sammy: Julia, you said, 'take the lift'.
Julia: Look, I'll see you in two minutes.
Sammy: OK.
Sammy: Julia!
Julia: Sammy!

I like when Sammy says: "there is anybody here", but what is the difference between anybody and anyone, everybody and everyone?
Hello Alexander Bladeck,
There is no difference in meaning between anybody and anyone, somebody and someone etc. Forms with ~one are perhaps a little more formal and less common in everyday speech, but even here it is a very subtle difference.

Why the video is loading so much time?
Hello ravivasani75,
Are you able to see the video eventually? I've just checked and cannot see any problems with it and am able to watch it. Perhaps there was a temporary technical problem which made it difficult for you to see the video earlier.
If you are still unable to see it, I would recommend trying to view it on a different device or in a different web browser. If that doesn't work, please let us know what browser version you are using and we'll do what we can to help you.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
All the best,

Hello !
Which one is correct ?
On the ground floor there are a bathroom and a kitchen.
or
On the ground floor there is a bathroom and a kitchen.
We use "there is" for singular and "there are" for plural, but I saw the both situations and I don't know which one is correct.
Thank you !
Hi clauvera2016,
You can hear both forms when people speak. In theory, 'there are' is more correct because 'a bathroom and a kitchen' is plural, but people often use 'there is' even with plural subjects in informal speaking.
All the best,
