Roza: Hey everyone. This is Akino Roza. It's June and it's getting warmer and warmer. Let's warm up with today's lesson.

David: All right, hi everyone, I'm David Evans. Let's have a great month together.

Onishi: それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

• I always run to the station to catch the last train.
• I prefer tea to coffee.
• I've never been to a Big West Coffee before.

David: Good work.

Phil told me that he wants take me to the dog show this weekend. I've never been to there, so I said "Yes". But between you and me, I prefer cat to dog.

David: All right everyone. It's time for our first pronunciation polish of the month. So, let's take a look at today's sentence. "I went to the new Big West Coffee near our school" ...

All right, two points to focusing on today, let's zoom in. First is went plus to, we have double t-es here so one will disappear, went to ... very nice.

Next is near plus our, near_our ... do you hear the our becomes more like /r/, OK? let's go one more time. near_our, near_our school ...

All right, let's put some chunks together, then the full sentence. I went to the ... I went to the new Big West Coffee ...

• I went to the new Big West Coffee near_our school.

One last time.

• I went to the new Big West Coffee near_our school.

All right, you are doing great. We are off to a good start.

Onishi: Hey guys, everybody likes drinking coffee, don't they?

Roza: Well, actually, I don't. Coffee is not for me really.

David: Oh, in that case, can I have ??? yours?

Roza: Sure.

David: I'm a huge coffee fan.

Onishi: みなさん、それぞれですね。それでは、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
