さぁ今日も、がんばっていきましょう。

Roza: Oh, Onishi Hiroto. I've heard so much about you. This is Akino Roza.

David: And I'm David Evans. It's a pleasure to be here.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

• I'm so pleased to meet you. I've been looking forward to seeing you.
• I'm so happy to meet you. I've been looking forward to seeing you.
• It's so nice to finally get to meet you.
• Hello. I'm David. How do you do?
• It's an honor to meet you.

Roza: Excellent.

Hello Professor. It's an honor to meet you. I'm Richard Thompson and the head of publishing section. This is my card.

Roza: All right guys. It's an honor to have this pronunciation polish corner with you. Today's sentence is,

• I've heard so much about you from Mr. Kudo.

Today we'll focus on two main points. The connecting sound between about - you that goes like about you as well as the /ə/ sound in heard and from.

So, let's practice heard first. Repeat after me. heard ... from ... from Mr. Kudo. Great work so far.

Now let's go to about you. Repeat. about you ... so much about you, I've heard so much about you.

OK, let's go for the full sentence now.

• I've heard so much about you from Mr. Kudo.

Great work. Are you ready for natural speed? Here we go.

• I've heard so much about you from Mr. Kudo.

Hey guys, I've heard so much about your progress. Excellent work.

Onishi: Hey David. Do you give your business card when you meet someone for the first time?

David: Ah well, it's not super super common, in certain situations and certain jobs, it happens.

Onishi: How about you, Roza?

Roza: You know, at this point, I usually just tell people my social media account.

Onishi: なるほどねぇ。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
