Roza: Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans.

Onishi: それではさっそく、はじめていきましょう。

• I recognized you at once.
• I noticed your sign.

David: Amazing

I know you have noticed that there are lots of constructions at various areas. This office is in undergo renovation. We are waiting it will be finished. You can't recognize it is this office.

David: OK, it's time to wrap things up today with the pronunciation polish. So, here is today's phrase. "I didn't realize I had so many fans from various backgrounds" ...

Not too many points to focus on today. It's just a long sentence. So, let's take a look.

First up is didn't, the /t/ sound will disappear. didn't ... I didn't.

Next, let's link up realize and I, realize I ... I didn't realize I. Great, that's a nice chunk.

Next up is from becomes from ... from various backgrounds.

All right, so we have a start, a middle and a finish, let's build them in order to create the full sentence. Here we go.

I didn't realize I - had so many fans, I didn't realize I had so many fans.

• I didn't realize I had so many fans from various backgrounds.

Phew, it's hard to do in just one breath. Great work today.

Onishi: さぁ今日の問題も大変でしたね。完ぺきではなくても、伝わる内容であれば、それは十分すばらしい成果ですよ。気楽に、つづけていってくださいね。

Roza: That's right guys, just keep going and don't get discouraged.

David: That's right. Having the experience of putting it into your own words is a big part of learning, so keep trying and keep thinking of new ways to express yourself.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
