Chris: Hi guys. Chris McVay here. You know, you are so smart, Roza.

Roza: Huh, thank you Chris. Wait a minute, don’t you dare say you are …

Chris: … just practicing.

Roza: Ah, hey guys. Akino Roza here. Let’s get started, shall we?

Ohnishi: さ、仲間割れが始まらないうちに、さっそく始めていきましょう。

今日はありませんでした。

Chris: OK guys, it’s practice time. So now, we’ve got a new preposition, it’s in. And it’s just as commonly used as on. The basic image here, we are gonna start with the most basic image of a container. So, with that image of container in mind, let’s get start with the practice, “in the room”. It’s very easy to imagine, this is a container right with forwards four walls around you, they are in the middle of the room, so here we go, “in the building”, “in Urawa”, “in Japan”, “in the situation”, “in a friendly atmosphere”. Even this example, you feel surrounded by the atmosphere of where you are. OK, so the image of container fits pretty well here to, “in the dark”, “in the morning”, “in April”, “in 2022”, “in the 21st century”.

Roza: Let’s practice a couple more expressions, here although they are cloths and accessories, they are still a type of container. So, keep that in mind, “Look at the guy in the blue jacket.” “Look at the guy in the T-shirt.” “Look at the guy in pajamas.” “Look at the guy in the hat.” “Look at the guy in dark glasses.”

Chris: OK, and the last one, a romantic one, “I’m in love with you.” You are surrounded by this love, love, love, love atmosphere and you are in the middle of it, oh … what a lovely container, Roza? So, once more with the last one there, “I’m in love with you.”

Brilliant.

Roza: Great job.

Roza: Sensei, who is that woman in the shocking pink dress?

Ohnishi: Ah, of course, she is 林家パー子さん … she is so famous … というわけで今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
