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: Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. I'm sure they love you very much.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• Sorry to hear that.
• Sorry to hear about ~.
• I was saddened to hear about ~.
• Please accept my deepest condolences.
• My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
• My condolences. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you.

Roza: Great job.

I heard about it. I'm really sorry. I know how you think this hamster was important. My condolences.

Roza: All right everyone. Are you ready to practice? Today's phrase is,

• I'm really sorry about your loss. My condolences.

Now, this situation where we are using this phrase is serious. So, saying this phrase slowly with purpose is very important. We'll focus on the pronunciation of about your mainly.

Let's practice together. Repeat after me. about your ... about your loss, I'm really sorry about your loss - My condolences.

OK, (are) you ready to practice the whole thing? Let's go.

• I'm really sorry about your loss. My condolences.

Now let's go at natural speed, which is still going to be pretty slow. OK?

• I'm really sorry about your loss. My condolences.

One more time.

• I'm really sorry about your loss. My condolences.

How did you do? Keep on practicing and you'll get it down. Perfect.

Onishi: Hey guys, this morning I saw a bird perched on my aquarium eyeing my medaka. 鳥がメダカ見てるんだよね。ちょっと心配だ。

David: Hmm, that's not good. Need to be careful.

Roza: Oh I know Sensei, you should put a net over it like they do at the koi ponds.

Onishi: あぁ、それはいいアイデアかも。皆さんもペットは大切にね。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
