David: And I'm David Evans. All right guys, it's time to go go!

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

Essential Expressions

Keep it just in case.

  • Let's leave early to be on the safe side.
  • It's always good to be prepared.
  • Let's leave a little early. Better safe than sorry.
  • Let's check the weather one more time. It can't hurt.

Practical Usage

これはディクテーションじゃなくて、自分の作文です

Let's arrive at the airport at least before 3 hours* to be on the safe side. It can't hurt. We can take our time.

*before 3 hours だと変で、3 hours early ですね

Pronunciation Polish 13:10

David: OK everyone. Let's practice our pronunciation today, OK? Better safe than sorry. It can't hurt, right? All right. Here is today's phrase.

  • Keep it just in case.

All right. It's a short phrase today, but we can make it nice and smooth, so let's practice together.

First up, let's join keep and it. It sounds like this. keep it ...

All right. Next up is just + in. just in ...

"just in case" is a very high frequency phrase, so it's good to master these 3 words together. Let's practice it a couple of times. just in case ...

OK, let's put it all together now.

  • Keep it just in case.

All right. We're ready for natural speed. Here we go.

  • Keep it just in case.

All right. That's a cool thing to say to someone, so be sure to use it sometimes, all right. Great work guys.

Ending

Onishi: Hey, I'll look for senior discounts, it can't hurt.

David: Well, it certainly won't hurt your wallet, that's for sure.

Roza: Well Sensei, I don't think you should. People won't believe you.

David: True, true.

Onishi: Thank you so much. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.

Roza: たまにはほめてあげないとね。

シニアだなんて信じない=若く見えますよ、という会話ですね
