Onishi: あぁ、スーパーの買い物ですか。Hey guys, what part of the supermarket do you spend the most time in?

Roza: Ah, you know, I'd have to say the produce aisle. I just love veggies and fruit.

Onishi: Ah ha, how about you?

David: For me, it's the spice aisle. I love to check out the exotic world spices, you know. How about you?

Onishi: Oh yeah, seefood.

Roza: And This is Akino Roza.

David: And This is David Evans.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• Please sit down and make yourself comfortable.
• Half the work is down, half to go.
• She is down with the flu.
• My car has broken down.

David: Good work.

This factory has shut down because the demand went down. It is really sad. Today, the price have gone down and the demand is going up.

David: All right everyone. Demand for our pronunciation polish is also on the rise, so let's jump into today's practice. Here is the phrase. "And what is this daikon thing on the list?" ...

All right, we have lots of little points so let's focus mainly on the sounds today, OK?

First up is what + is, what is ...

Let's add daikon and thing together, daikon thing ...

Next is on + the, on the ...

And finally the /t/ sound in the list will become very small or disappear, list ... on the list.

All right, and the full sentence.

• And what is this daikon thing on the list?

You are sounding smoother and smoother everyday, so keep it up. You are doing great.

Onishi: さぁ今日も、盛りだくさんな内容でしたね。復習、がんばってください。

Roza: Don't worry if you didn't get it all down. You have plenty of time to practice.

David: That's right. Keep up the good work.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
