Hi, can you help me a bit? I need to scan this document, but it's first time for me. Can you tell me how I can do it step by step.

David: OK. It's time for today's pronunciation polish. Let's get to it. Here is today's phrase.

• Could you elaborate on that?

All right. We have a lot of things happening here, but don't worry. I'll break it down for you.

First up, we have could + you. It sounds like this. Could you. This is very high frequency so let's master it together. Could you.

All right. Next up we have three words, elaborate - on - that. All of these sounds will be joined together, let's hear what it sounds like. elaborate on that ... it's at the rising intonation, yeah?

All right, and we put them together.

Onishi: Guys, I'd like to buy a nobiru-chan. She's kind of cute, don't you think?

David: Would you mind expanding on that?

Roza: You know, I'm not really much of a doll fan myself, but if there was like a Hannya mask version of that, oh, I'd be all over it.

David: Can you be more specific?

Roza: Yeah, like, you know, the Hannya with ???? and the hair gets longer ...

David: Can you break it down for me?

Roza: No thank you.

David: I'm just practicing.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye!
