Ohnishi: Hey guys, why do you use grab so frequently?

David: Oh, grab is a, it's a high energy word. It's a quick, short action, ah, and it's easy to picture.

Roza: Yeah, so it really makes the sentence more lively.

• I didn't say we're canceling, I said we're postponing.
• What does that sign say?
• What do you say we take a break here.
• Let's say you win the lottery. What do you do with the money?

David: Great job.

Hey look, that sign says this restaurant is full. But I know other restaurant down the road. What do you say we go there instead?

Roza: OK guys, what do you say we practice our pronunciation? Today's sentence is "I want to say thank you for thinking of coming here" ...

All right, today we have a lot of points to cover, but don't worry, we'll go through them slowly, one by one. So, I want you to repeat after me.

want to, the disappearing /t/, linking and the /ə/ sound in to. want to, I want to say.

Next up is thinking of ... excellent. Now, for the last part. coming here  ... thinking of coming here.

All right, are you ready for the full sentence? Here we go.

• I want to say thank you for thinking of coming here.

Fantastic work, guys.

Onishi: Hey guys, let's say you win the lottery. What do you do with the money?

Rosa: Well, I wouldn't tell anyone but there would be signs, like horses, lots of horses.

Onishi: How about you, David?

David: Ah, well I don't know if I get any horses but I would definitely get property.

Onishi: Property, all right. Yeah, that's a good idea.

Rosa: I'll give you the horses, then.

David: Oh, OK, I guess I get a horse.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
