今日も元気にいきましょう。

Roza: Hey everyone. Akino Roza here. Let's have fun with today's lesson. Ready?

David: And I'm David Evans. Let's do our best today, OK?

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• In spite of the rain, we went for a walk.
• I was nervous, but I enjoyed the presentation nevertheless.
• Whatever happens, I'll support you.
• No matter where you go, I'll stay in touch.

David: Amazing.

My daughter have engaged recently. Despite my initial reaction, I am happy with that. Whoever she marries, I will support her. No matter what happens, I am her parent.

David: All righty everyone, it's time for today's pronunciation polish. Let's check out today's phrase. "What are you doing here?" ...

All right, first, let's start with what + are, that's the flapped /t/ sound, yeah? Here we go. What are ...

All right, the you will be nice and short, the schwa sound, you ... What are you ...

Let's try the full sentence now.

All right, great work.

Onishi: What are you doing here?

David: I, I work here.

Onishi: What are you doing here?

David: Ah, I see, are you just practicing?

Onishi: Oh yeah, practicing.

David: OK.

Roza: Practice is important.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
