Roza: You know, I think that's a very appropriate nickname for you, Sensei. You are danger to all the sweets in the room. お菓子全部食べちゃうもんね。Hey everyone. It's Akino Roza.

David: And I'm David Evans.

Onishi: それでは、さっそく始めましょう。

• I suspect he's hiding something about this plan.
• I doubt that.
• Let's not speculate. It's too soon.

David: Good work.

Is it OK? We are not here to speculate. Understand? I doubt I can understand all things. I suspect there is something more we don't know in this situation.

David: All right. It's time for today's pronunciation polish. All right, let's check out today's phrase. "He'll laugh out loud, I suspect" ...

All right, just a couple of points to zoom in on today. First, we'll start with the repeated /l/ sound, He'll laugh. Let's join those all together. He'll laugh ...

All right, next up, let's link laugh and out. laugh out ... put them together, He'll laugh out ...

All right, loud and I can be linked together, loud, I ... and the /t/ at the end of suspect, can be nice and small. suspect ...

All right, let's put those all together, OK? Here we go.

• He'll laugh out loud, I suspect.

All right, great work. Remember, we are just here to practice each of these points, so you get used to them. You don't have to use them all the time. Just be aware, the native speakers will use these in their regular conversations. Great work today.

Onishi: Hey guys, I suspect it's time to end this show.

David: I doubt it. We've got lots of time.

Roza: Look, look, look guys, we are not here to speculate, OK? I doubt we know what time the show ends.

Onishi: いや、知ってるでしょ、普通に。というわけで、今日はこの辺にしましょう。

All: Bye.
