Onishi: 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。

さぁ今日も、がんばっていきましょう。

Roza: Hey everyone. This is Akino Roza. Ready for today's lesson?

David: And I'm David Evans. Let's get ready to go.3

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• Don't tell anyone about this.
• Don't tell Jack I told you, but he has a huge crush on you.
• My parents told me to study harder.
• He told me he would call me later.
• I can tell he's lying.

Roza: Excellent.

At this time, Paul's wife came here suddenly. Don't tell him I told you, but Paul's eyes have shined immediately. You could tell he was really happy.

David: All right everyone, it's time for today's pronunciation polish. Let's start off with today's phrase. "I was just about to tell you something important" ...

We have lots of little points today, so let's focus in on the big ones make some chunks and practice them together.

First up is was, let's make that nice and short, OK? I was ...

Next, let's take "just about to", and make one big chunk, just about to ...

All right, let's add "tell you" to the chunk as well. just about to tell you.

Next up, we'll take "something important" and polish that up, something important ...

All right, now let's put it all together.

• I was just about to tell you something important.

All right, great work today.

Onishi: So, Paul loves his wife so much, doesn't he?

David: Oh yeah, in this situation, I can imagine. If my wife came by here, I'd be happy, too.

Onishi: All right. いやぁ、日本の会社では、あんまりこういうことってないかもしれませんよね。

David: Ah well, in the big city, probably not, maybe in a smaller town, I could imagine this.

Onishi: あー、なるほどね。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
