Roza: Yeah, raising my kid was really hard.

David: You're talking about your goat, aren't you?

Roza: Yes, I am. In English, we call baby goats kids. 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 suggest hiring a housekeeper.

• I suggest a break.
• I suggest we have a burger.
• I think we should check the schedule again.

Roza: Great job.

I think it's better to go to anther place for lunch. At this rate, we couldn't get the table before they close.

David: All right everyone. I suggest we practice our pronunciation. Are you ready for today's phrase? Here we go.

• I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.

We have a couple of areas to focus in on today, let's start with the weakened /t/ sound in suggest. It's very small. Let's listen.

suggest ... suggest hiring.

Let's join up hiring and a, hiring a ... I suggest hiring a.

All right, the /t/ sound in at will disappear, at ...

And let's join up least and temporarily. least temporarily.

Oh, hold on, let's practice the pronunciation of temporarily together, yeah? Let's go slowly. temporarily ... at least temporarily.

All right. Don't worry if it's not perfect. Let's try put it all together.

• I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.

All right. Let's go at full speed.

• I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.

One more time.

• I suggest hiring a housekeeper, at least temporarily.

All right. Keep on practicing and it will get better.

Onishi: Hum, I never wait in long lines. Total waste of time, isn't it?

David: Yeah, some people say good things come to those who wait.

Onishi: Ah huh.

Roza: I'll arrive really early if I need like to be first for something, but I never wait in line.

Onishi: It's tiring, isn't it?

Roza: It is.

David: The early bird gets the warm?

Roza: Exactly.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye
