Roza: ねぇ先生、もうそれよりお腹すいたのよ。Hey everyone. Akino Roza.

Chris: Oh, Chris McVay here. Can you hear me? Hello? Oh, let’s get started.

Ohnishi: それでは、さっそく始めましょう。一体何のオープニングなんでしょうね。

今日はありませんでした

Chris: OK guys, ready to practice? Today we are gona (going to) introduce a very useful technique of inserting additional information into a sentence. Now, this is not essential information, it’s more like bonus information. So, the feeling is, by the way – insert, by the way – insert. So, let’s look at the key sentence together. “My brother Deepak lives in Tokyo” – that’s a good sentence. Now we want to give you a bonus some extra information, so, “My brother Deepak, – insert – who is a chef, lives in Tokyo”. Are you ready to practice with me? Here we go. “My brother Deepak, who is a chef, lives in Tokyo”. Try?

That’s right. Get this feeling a bonus information being inserted? Last chance, together.

“My brother Deepak, who is a chef, lives in Tokyo”.

Try this technique as often as possible, OK? Good job.

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこのへんで。

All: Bye!
