David: Great job.

Hello, and thanks for coming here. Was it easy to find this café? The place I always go to is a bit noisy to talk to.

David: OK, it's time for today's pronunciation polish. Are you ready? Here is today's phrase. "She is hard to impress" ...

Just a couple points to zoom in on today, so let's get started. First up is She, She ... we'll join that with the is, She is ...

All right, next up is hard to. Let's listen to how it sounds. hard to ... She is hard to.

Next up is impress. We have m-p-r all together, so let's really focus on that sound. impress ... hard to impress.

All right, let's put it together.

• She is hard to impress.

I'm very impressed with your progress. Great job.

Onishi: Hey guys, do you often go to cafés?

David: Me personally, ah, not really. To be honest, sometimes but not often. Do you go Roza?

Roza: I used to go quite a bit when I lived in Tokyo, but now I just have to go outside and sit with my horses.

Onishi: なるほど。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
