NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「移動を表す動詞 ⑦ ー leaveの立ち去る」L77 2025/7/22

Onishi: 英語ができるようになるとどうなる？っとですね、ときどき聞かれるんですけれども、選択肢がひろがるということも、あるんじゃないかと思うんですね。

休暇でどこ行こうっというリストにですね、UKとかLAとかも入ってくるというわけですよね。さ、英語ができるようになると楽しいですよ。がんばってくださいね。

Roza: Akino Roza here.

David: And I’m David Evans.

Onishi: というわけで、さっそく始めていきましょう。

• It’s not easy leaving here.
• She left her job to become a manga artist.

David: Good work.

I know you want to leave home, but don’t hurry. When I went to the big town leaving my home town, I was not ready for it. Now I understand, Please make a plan for sure.

David: All right everyone, it’s time for today’s pronunciation polish.

First, let’s try a little challenge, OK? Listen to this sound, /ər/ … When you listen to today’s phrase, how many times will you hear it, that’s your challenge, here we go.

“Our flight leaving for London boards soon” …

Wow, how many times? If you guessed two, then you are correct. Let’s focus on those two words.

Our becomes /ə/, Our flight … next is for, /fə/ … for London … all right, we’ve got one more point to focus on today and that’s joining boards and soon, boards soon …

All right, now let’s construct our sentence. Our flight – for London –  boards soon,

• Our flight leaving for London boards soon.

All right, let’s go one time, full speed.

• Our flight leaving for London boards soon.

All right, it’s a nice challenge. I hope you did well, keep it up and we’ll see you next time.

Roza: OK guys, so I know when speaking English, it might feel like you’re not ready, and then you’re still not ready, and you’re still not ready, don’t worry about that feeling.

Just use the English phrases that you know and that you’ve practiced. Don’t worry about perfection, like we say using it, saying it out laud is the most important part.

Onishi: Oh, good Roza. I’m more than ready. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
