ラジオ英会話、ハートでつかめ英語の極意、講師の大西泰斗です。

Roza: Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. Hey Roza, have you been?

Roza: I actually have not.

David: Huh, I have just a once.

Onishi: うーん、それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

• This sofa changes into a bed.
• The internet has significantly changed our daily lives.
• She changed her name.
• I'm going to change jobs.
• We exchanged numbers.

Roza: Excellent

This local train will changes into rapid one, so we need to ??? After changing trains, it will take around 5 minutes to our destination. Please make sure (時間切れ)

Roza: OK guys, you know what time it is? It's time to polish our pronunciation. Today's phrase is really short. Here it is. "Times have changed" ...

As you can see, it's only three words, and it works better if we practice it all together connected, so that's what we are gonna do.

We'll focus mainly on two points, the weak h in have and the disappearing d in changed, like this, Times have changed.

All right, let's try it together, repeat after me. Times have ... great, now, changed ... One more time, changed.

All right, now let's practice all together.

• Times have changed.

As a sidenote, be careful about the pronunciation of changed. Make sure you pronounce it like this, changed ...

• Times have changed.

You are doing fantastic. I'm so proud of you.

Roza: ねぇ先生、The witch changed the frog into a prince. 逆じゃなかったの？

Onishi: いい魔女だったんだよ、いい魔女。

David: Well, I suppose that depends on the personality on the frog.

Roza: Good point.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
