Onishi: 恐ろしい日本文シリーズ。「あなたに重要な話があります。」

ラジオ英会話、ハートでつかめ英語の極意、講師の大西泰斗です。

Roza: Yeah, also the 「ちょっと話があるんだけど・・・」 Akino Roza here.

David: Yeah, I promise you. That's not limited to Japanese. I'm David Evans.

• At best, she is an average singer.
• The meeting will take an hour at most.

Roza: OK guys, don't try to end this lesson on your own without doing some pronunciation polish. Are you ready for today's sentence? Here it is. "It would cost at least 80,000 pounds to do it" ...

OK, today we have a lot of disappearing /t/s and /d/s, and a little bit of linking. So, let's get right into it. Repeat after me.

It ... It would ... It would cost at least ... It would cost at least 80,000 pounds ... to do it ...

All right, full sentence now.

• It would cost at least 80,000 pounds to do it.

One more time.

• It would cost at least 80,000 pounds to do it.

How did you do, guys. If you found it difficult, don't worry about it. Just keep on practicing and you'll get there in no time.

Roza: That is how David hurt his back.

Onishi: All right. というわけで。

All: Bye.

David: Be safe
