NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「二択のwhether/if」L232 2026/3/17

Onishi: なるほど、ピーコック教授が新しい発見をしたみたいですね。ま、世の中には発見しない方がいいものもありますよね。夢でトイレを探しているときとか。

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: Hey everyone. Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. That's some dream I'd like to come true.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• Let me know whether you need any help.
• Let me know if you need any help.
• I wonder if he'll call me back.
• The question whether he will join us is still open.
• The question of whether he will join us is still open.

Roza: Fantastic.

This illustration is beautiful. I wonder if this is made by generative AI? Honestly, I can't tell whether it is made by AI or not. Actually I'm a bit scared.

Roza: Well guys, I can't tell you wanna practice your pronunciation. So, here we go. Today's sentence is "I can't tell whether he's East Asian or not" ...

First, let's practice can't, repeat, can't ... can't tell ... I can't tell. Great work.

Now, let's go to East Asian or not ... he's East Asian or not, whether he's East Asian or not.

All right, ready for the full sentence? Let's go.

• I can't tell whether he's East Asian or not.

One last time.

• I can't tell whether he's East Asian or not.

Now, this one was a little bit difficult, so if you didn't get it right away, don't worry. Keep on practicing and you'll get there.

Onishi: Hey guys, there are so many AI generated illustration and photos all around, right? They are not so impressive for me.

Daivid: Oh, really? Why is that?

Onishi: AIなのに愛がない。

David: Woo, I knew you'd say that.

Roza: うまいこと言うね、先生。

Onishi: ということで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
