Onishi: いやぁ、今日ジムに行ってね、とっても大切なことに気づいたんだ。

Roza: ふーん、何に気づいた？

Onishi: ぼく、運動そんなに好きじゃないって。

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: 先生、ずいぶん時間かかったね。Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. Well, what's important is that you keep doing it anyway.

Onishi: That's right. それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

Could you keep this to yourself?

• Please keep it under your hat.
• Don't tell anyone about this.
• This is just between you and me.
• I'm trusting you not to tell anyone.

Roza: Excellent.

Can you keep my secret? I've just found out something. I can tell you but you need it to treat as a secret. This is between you and me, OK?

David: All right everyone. Can you keep a secret? Good, because it's time to practice our pronunciation. Here is today's phrase.

• Could you keep this to yourself?

All right, we have a couple of main points to focus on today, so let's jump right in.

First up, let's put could and you together. Could you ...

Next up, the /p/ sound in keep will disappear, keep ... keep this ...

All right, and next, we have a couple of schwas, to  ... yourself ... to yourself ... keep this to yourself ...

• Could you keep this to yourself?

All right, now let's go it with full speed.

• Could you keep this to yourself?

All right. You don't have to get full speed right away but keep practicing and you'll get there in no time. Great work today.

Onishi: Hey David, what exactly did you find out?

David: I'm really sorry Sensei, my lips are sealed. I learned the hard way what happens when you share someone else's secrets.

Roza: Well, Sensei, I guess he passed the test.

Onishi: What kind of test?

Roza: The "Can you keep a secret?" test.

Onishi: Oh yeah. That's true. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
