Onishi: いやぁ今朝ねぇ、見覚ましとめて、シャワー浴びて、歯みがいて、服着て、ゆっくりコーヒー飲んで、これで仕事に十分間に合ったなぁって思ってたら・・・

Roza: 思ってたら？

Onishi: それが全部夢だった。駅まで走りました。

Roza: Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. Yeah, Sensei, that happens to me maybe once a week.

Onishi: それでは、さっそく始めましょう。

Roza: Excellent.

Did you hear that Kenny is promoted? He jumped for joy when he heard this. I'm really happy for him. He has a value to this.

Roza: Woo, all right everyone, it's time for my favorite corner, pronunciation polish, yeah. All right, let's take a look at today's sentence. "I work up late for some reason" ...

All right, there are three core concepts here, let's zoom in on each. First is linking work and up, work up ...

All right, next the t, e at the end of late are silent, so let's try, late ...

OK, last up is the o in for and the o in some. These two become that /ə/ sound. They are very short, so let's practice. for ... some ... for some ... for some reason ...

All right, let's put the whole thing together.

• I woke up late for some reason.

One more time.

• I woke up late for some reason.

All right, that's fantastic. Great work.

David: Oh ... , why? did something happen?

Roza: That you had to go through Sensei's practicing again.

David: Ah, yeah, I agree that ...

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
