• He requested a refund.
• He demanded an apology from the journalist for misquoting him.

David: Amazing.

This job doesn't require you to drive, so you don't need to have a license. If you had it, there would be more chance, but we never demand you to get the license.

David: All right everyone. It's time for our pronunciation polish. We'll never demand you do it, but I do recommend it. All right, here is today's phrase. "I've heard so much about your androids" ...

All right, let's zoom in on a couple of different points. First up is heard. The /d/ sound at the end will get very small. heard ... heard so ...

Next up, much about. All right, let's join these together, much about ...

All right, next up, your becomes your ... and let's link that up with androids, your androids ...

All right, I think we are ready for the full sentence. Here we go.

• I've heard so much about your androids.

One more time.

• I've heard so much about your androids.

Ah, great. I've heard so much about how well you're doing with this practice, so keep it up.

Onishi: Hey Roza, I heard you got a manual driver's license. Is that correct?

Roza: Oh yeah, I just got one recently. I'm planing to get a manual 軽トラ sometimes soon.

David: Oh man, I'm so jealous. I love those so, guys.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
