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。

さぁ今日も、いっしょにがんばっていきましょう。

Roza: Hi everyone. Akino Roza here. (Are) you ready for today's lesson?

David: And I'm David Evans. All right. Let's get started.

Onishi: それでは、さっそくはじめていきましょう。

Did you hear that Takumi and Kate are seeing each other?

• Hey, David. Can I ask you something?
• Do you know and good restaurants around here?
• Is it true you got a new job?
• What do you think living in Nara?

David: Great job.

Hey, is it true that tomorrow's class is canceled? I heard someone said that but I'd like to make sure. Did you hear about this?

Roza: Hey, is it true that you love to practice your pronunciation? Great. Let's begin. Here is today's phrase.

• Did you hear that Takumi and Kate are seeing each other?

All right. Today's sentence is a little long and there is a lot of points to cover. We'll be going over connected sounds, the /ə/ sound and linking. Ready?

We start with, Did you ...

Next, that Takumi. It's the disappearing /t/. that Takumi.

Great work. Now, Kate are ... Kate are seeing each other. Lots of linking, Kate are seeing each other. Takumi and Kate are seeing each other? ...

OK, let's do the full sentence now. Repeat after me.

• Did you hear that Takumi and Kate are seeing each other?

Do you feel the rhythm, the excitement as I said. One more time.

• Did you hear that Takumi and Kate are seeing each other?

Great work everyone. Remember, really feel the words as you practice. It'll help you.

Onishi: Hey guys, I hardly ever cancel my classes. My students must be very happy about that.

David: Oh, I'm sure. Every class is fantastic and no one would ever want to miss a lesson by you.

Onishi: Hum, do you agree?

Roza: I do, but you know, がんばりすぎないように。先生は、ああ見えて真面目なんだからね。

Onishi: ああ見えて、やめてください。というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
