NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「so」L166 2025/12/8

Onishi: そういえば、アンドロイド3体目がいるんですね。うーん、アンドロイド欲しいよなぁ。

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。

Roza: Hey everyone. Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• I'm soooo happy!
• She was so impressive that I think you all should meet.
• I helped him so  he could pass the exam.
• I hope so.

David: Great job.

That movie was so good. Actually, it was so good that I watched it twice at the movie theatre. I think this could get the prize. I think so at least.

Roza: Hey guys, well, you know what time it is? It's time to polish our pronunciation. Here is today's sentence. "She was so impressive that I think you all should meet" ...

All right, we have a lot of points that we will cover today, but there are all points that you've done before, so get right into it, OK? Repeat after me.

She was, it's the /ə/ sound. She was, She was so impressive.

Now, I want you guys to be careful about the pronunciation of the word so. Remember, it's not ソー, it's so ... She was so impressive.

Now, let's practice that I ... Great work so far.

Now, let's go to should meet, it's the disappearing /t/ and /d/. should meet ... you all should meet, I think you all should meet, that I think you all should meet.

All right, let's do the full sentence.

• She was so impressive that I think you all should meet.

All right, a little faster now.

• She was so impressive that I think you all should meet.

Great work everyone. You are so impressive. You deserve an award.

Onishi: Hey guys, are there any movies that were so good you saw them twice?

David: Twice ever or twice in a theatre?

Onishi: Twice ever.

David: In that case, yeah, there are tons. Ah, The Princess Bride, Space Balls, actually come to think of it, most Mel Brooks movies.

Onishi: How about you, Roza?

Roza: Well, I've seen the movies from the Harry Potter series. A bunch of times. I just find them so fun.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
