We audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "we" — a pronoun, pronounced /wiː/, rhyming with 'see'.
Narrator: We is the first-person plural pronoun — it refers to the speaker together with one or more other people.
Narrator: In plain English, 'we' means me and others — 'we went to the park', 'we should decide together'.
Narrator: It can be inclusive, bringing in the listener — 'shall we begin?' — or exclusive, meaning just my group.
Narrator: There's even the 'royal we', once used by monarchs to speak for the crown — 'we are not amused'.
Narrator: The word comes from the Old English 'wē', a core pronoun shared across the old Germanic languages.
Narrator: It has stayed remarkably stable for over a thousand years — one of English's oldest, most essential words.
Narrator: In tone it is everyday and unifying — a small word that builds togetherness, shared action, and belonging.
Narrator: So remember: we is the first-person plural — me and others, the little word that joins us together.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: Shall we grab a coffee before the meeting? We've got twenty minutes.
Speaker B: Good idea. I love how 'we' just pulls us both in — inclusive, togetherness in a word.
Speaker A: Exactly. Though at work 'we' can be exclusive too — 'we in marketing think...'.
Speaker B: Right — there it means my group, not you. Same word, two senses.
Speaker A: A common mistake is muddling 'we' and 'us'.
Speaker B: Good one — 'we' is the subject, 'us' is the object. 'We went', but 'they saw us'.
Speaker A: Ah, so 'we' does the action, 'us' receives it.
Speaker B: Exactly. People slip up with 'me and him went' — should be 'he and I', or 'we'.
Speaker A: Tricky little things. And there's the grand 'royal we'.
Speaker B: Yes — 'we are not amused'. Close idea? 'Us' and 'ourselves', same group of people.
Speaker A: So we is the first-person plural.
Speaker B: Me and others, together.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "we" in AI prompts — it is powerful for collaboration, shared spaces, and team features: group accounts, shared workspaces, collaborative tools.
Speaker A: So we in a prompt means building collaborative, shared features?
Speaker B: Exactly. For a team workspace, you'd write:
Prompt: Build a shared workspace where a team works as we, not just I. Let members see each other's changes live, share projects, and comment together, so the app feels like a space we own collectively rather than separate silos.
Speaker B: The word we sets the goal — togetherness, shared ownership, collaboration at the heart.
Speaker A: Lovely framing. What about shared accounts?
Speaker B: Try this:
Prompt: Add family group accounts to my app. Let a household share one plan as we, with separate profiles under it, so we manage subscriptions together while each person keeps their own private data.
Speaker A: So it groups people fairly.
Speaker B: Right. For co-editing:
Prompt: Build live co-editing into my document tool. Show every collaborator's cursor and changes in real time, so we edit the same page together smoothly, the way we would round one desk.
Speaker A: What about a shared database?
Speaker B: Here you go:
Prompt: Design a schema for shared team data. Link each record to the team we belong to, not just one user, so anything we create is visible to the whole team with clear roles and permissions.
Speaker A: Could we shape a decision feature too?
Speaker B: Yes:
Prompt: Add group voting to my planning app. Let us propose options and vote together, then show the choice we reached as a team, so decisions feel collective rather than handed down by one person.
Speaker A: So "we" means collaboration and shared ownership.
Speaker B: Exactly — a unifying word that makes the AI build for teams together.
