================================
◆ During the Japanese translation part
================================
(4:03)
O: Do you really like that?
C: Actually, I was lying. I like it medium-rare, too.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:20)
C: OK, guys, it's practice time. Now, I know some of you are interested in etymology, so, the original meaning of want is to be lacking. So, this naturally leads to the meaning of a strong desire to get what is lacking. So, with that in mind, let's practice together. OK?

(etymology 語源学 the study of the origin and history of words)

(10:38)
R: Now I know you guys want to think in English, right?
C: Here we go then. "Would you like some coffee?"
(10:48)
C: Once again, after me, "Would you like some coffee?"

(10:56)
R: Next example, "I want to go to England."
(11:03)
You have that missing feeling. "I want to go to England."

(11:11)
C: Next one, "want you back." So, this is a kind of relationship thing, right? The person you love is gone away and you say, "Uh... I want you back."
"Want you back." Try.
(11:26)
C: "Want you to come."
"Would like you to do that."

(11:35)
R: And the last example, "You want to be a bit more careful."
"You want to be a bit more careful."

(11:50)
C: Well done, guys.
R: Great job!

(14:22)
O: Hey, guys, is there anything you really want?
R: Yeah, I really want a horse.
C: Oh, so if, … has to be something beginning with "h," I really want some hair.
R: Well, in that case, if I get my horse, I can give you some horse hair.
C: Uh... no thank you.

◆ Opening
===========
(0:15)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. I hope we have a great lesson.
C: Roza, that's what I was gonna (going to) say, all right? But it's been a long time since you stole my thunder, so I'll let you off. Hi, guys, I do hope you really enjoy this lesson. Chris McVay here.

(you stole my thunder 出し抜いた、お株を奪った、手柄を横取りした)

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:29)
C: OK, guys, are you ready to practice? "Hope," "wish," both mean something you want to happen. But "hope" is for something that's quite possible to realize while "wish" is usually used for something up in the clouds or impossible to realize. So, with that distinction in mind, let's practice together.

(distinction 違い)

Here we go, "Let’s hope ~."
"I hope you don't mind my saying this."
"I hope you don't mind if I take this call."
"I was hoping that ~."

(10:14)
R: Continuing on, "I hope to see you again."
It's possible, right? I can see you again. So, "hope" is great here. "I hope to see you again."

(10:30)
C: "I wish I could go with you."
But you know, it's not possible because I have another plan. So, "wish" is great here.
After me once more, "I wish I could go with you."

(10:47)
R: And our last two examples, "I wish you good luck."
"I wish to thank you."

========================
I wish you a good luck.　
good luck の前に a は入れないのか？
正解：　a は入れないほうが自然
In English, the correct phrase to use would be (1) "I wish you good luck" rather than (2) "I wish you a good luck." (1) sounds better and more natural than (2).
=======================

(11:00)
R: You guys are great!
C: Yeah, I hope you enjoyed it.

==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:41)
O: I hope you enjoyed this lesson and ...
All: We wish you a wonderful day. Bye-bye!

C: Oh, hi, everyone, Chris McVay here. Sorry, let me take this call. Go ahead, go ahead.
R: We need to start the recording. Chris!
C: It's kind of ... All right.

================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
================================
(3:37)
R: Hey, guys, guess what? Our textbook is not mainly for tourists. It's for everyone.
O: That's right.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:22)
C: OK, guys, it's practice time again. Are you ready? Today's verb is "let." The original meaning is "allow." So, I would like you to keep the image of a door being opened so you can go through. Keep that in mind as we practice all these examples. Here we go.

R: Now, let your English thoughts through.
C: "Let him in."
"Let him out."
"Let him down."
"Let it go. Let it ... ♬　Oh, sorry. "Let it go."

(10:03)
R: Continuing on, "let you know ~."
"Let me know ~."

(10:12)
C: OK, a little bit longer example, "Let me ask you a few questions."
Once more, "Let me ask you a few questions."
"Let me help you."
"Let me help you."

(10:37)
R: I love this next one. "Don't let the cat out of the bag."
One more time, "Don't let the cat out of the bag."

(10:53)
C: OK, we let you go and have some rest now after all this practice.
R: That was excellent, guys.

==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:15)
O: Hey, Chris, don't let Roza's comments get to you.
C: Actually, Roza's comments never get to me because they're always positive. So, do you mean I shouldn't believe her when she says, for example, I'm amazingly handsome?
R: They're totally different from the comments I give you.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:18)
C: OK, guys. it's practice time. Now, I want you to grasp the sense or the feeling of this verb "ask." And the feeling isお願い.
R: And can I ask you guys to please think in English?

(9:32)
C: OK, let's practice together. Here we go.
"Ask him to come~."
"Ask him to buy ~."
"Ask him to be more careful."

(9:51)
R: Continuing on, "Can I ask you a private question?"
"May I ask you a private question?"
"Can I ask you one more question?"
"May I ask you one more question?"

(10:14)
C: OK, here is a very common one you should learn by heart, "May I ask where you are from?"
Once more, "May I ask where you are from?"

R: And a last few, "Don't ask."
"You're asking for it."

(10:40)

C: Control yourself, Roza. Leave it to me. I’m going to order the most expensive wine on the wine list.
O: You are asking too much, too.

(13:46)
O: Hey guys, I think Americans spend a lot of time getting perfect teeth.
R: There is definitely a lot of time and money spent on getting straight and whitened teeth, for sure.

O: Hmm...

C: But you know, I think it’s a general desire because, there such a thing now is dental tourism, Thailand for example, lots of tourists go to get the teeth done because it’s so much cheaper than at home.

(3-29)
◆ 「グレートデーンは」単数なのでしょうか、複数なのでしょうか？

K: Uh-huh.

◆ ローガンは……だと思っています。Think なのでしょうか？
J: Yes. Yes, we are going to use "Logan thinks."
K: Okay!

(8:58)
R: And set your mind to think in English.

O: Hey, Roza, you've changed a lot.

Are you ready with your hand and arm? Are you ready?

O&R: Stop!

C: OK, I think some of you didn't use your arm and hand. So, let's do it again. One, two, three …

O&R: Stop!

O: "I managed to stop the leak." Chris, is this your own experience?

C: Yeah, I had a terrible experience where I panicked because water was coming out of the toilet tap. I didn’t know what to do.

I put my hand over, but it wouldn’t work. So, I had to leave it, run out, find a screwdriver, and … クシュ … Yeah, I managed to stop the leak.

◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:58)
C: It's practice time, guys. Now, with all the examples today, I want you to focus on the basic image of "drive” as something forcefully pushing something or someone. You should feel the power there. So, with that in mind, let's practice together, OK?

(forcefully 　力強く)

R: And remember to think in English.

C: Uh-huh. Here's the first phrase, "drive the tent pegs into the ground." Can you feel that the ground is solid but ...　プシュ　… "Drive the tent pegs into the ground." Try.

(10:33)
"Be driven by electricity."
"Be driven by jealousy."
"Steam-driven vehicle."

(11:17)
Another word for mad, "drive her nuts." Try that.
(11:24)
OK, and similar meaning, try it again, "drive her out of her mind."
(11:32)
R: And continuing with the same image, "drive him to crime."
"Drive him to despair."
"Drive him to his death."
"Drive him into a corner."

(11:54)
R: Excellent work, guys.
C: Yeah, some difficult examples but try and memorize them, OK?

O: Hey, Chris, what kind of car do you drive?
C: I drive a really beautiful, gorgeous, compact, red car.
O: How about you, Roza?
R: Well, I don’t have a car, but I did get my driver’s license earlier this year. Hey, Chris, can I drive your car?
C: Um… You’re a Sunday driver, right? That’s too dangerous. My car is too precious.
All: Bye!

(Sunday driverとは、たまの日にしか車を運転しないために、運転技術が未熟なドライバー。)

O: Alien, we are not alone in the universe.
(0:21)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. Ready for today's lesson?
C: Chris McVay here.
R: What? What did you say, Chris?
C: Can you hear me?
R: No, I couldn't hear you.
C: Ah! Chris McVay here. Loud and clear now?
R: Yes.
C: Let's get started.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:36)
C: OK, guys, are you ready to practice? Now, you've just heard Onishi-sensei's description of the basic images of these two verbs "arrive" and "reach."

So, let's just be very careful about the sentence pattern because the sentence patterns are different.

OK, so, with all that in mind, let's practice together. Here we go, "arrive here."
"Arrive home."
"Arrive at the hotel."
"Arrive in London."
"Arrive from London."

(10:18)
R: And here’s some examples with reach, "reach the hotel."
"Reach London."
"Reach the top of Mt. Fuji."

(10:34)
R: You can feel the process that reaching towards it, right?
C: That's right and the same goes here, "reach the top shelf."
(10:45)
C: A few more, "reach 70 mph."
"Reach a peak."
"Reach my knees."

(11:00)
R: And the last one, "We've reached the conclusion that ~."

(11:08)
R: Excellent work.
C: Hmm... I've reached the conclusion that they're doing a very good job, Roza.
R: I’d have to agree.
C: Uh-huh.

(14:13)
O: Chris, you went to France for a while, right?
C: Uh-huh.
O: What are your impressions after arriving back in Japan?
C: Well, apart from a very lengthy checking process at the airport, I was so glad to be back home because it feels like home to be in Japan now.
R: You know, whenever I come back to Japan from abroad, I always make sure to go to the bathroom and sit on the warm toilet seat. It's wonderful.
C: Hmm... interesting impression.

R: Hey, guys, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Little to say after all that. So, let’s just have a good lesson together.

================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
================================
(3:34)
C: You know, I think our textbook will definitely become a classic over time.
R: It already is.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:27)
C: It's practice time again. Well, it's easy to imagine the action of turning, right? So, from there we get a wide variety of usages, all involving some kind of change, change of direction, change of state, change of position. So, with that in mind, let's practice together.

R: And remember, think in English.
C: Right, let's start. "Turn a knob."
"Turn a key."
"Turn a handle."
"Turn his head."
"Turn his attention to ~."

(10:11)
R: Continuing on. "Turn it over."
"Turn it inside out."
"Turn it upside down."

(10:27)
C: OK, and another one, "Can I turn the music up a little?"
(10:35)
C: The original state is too low, so change it. "Can I turn the music up a little?"

(original state 最初の状態)

(10:45)
C: Good.
R: And for the last few, "turn sour."
"Turn pro."
"Turn 60."
"Turn a bed and breakfast into a café."

(11:08)
C: Well done guys.
R: I think they really turned up their energy for this one.

Answer the Question!
==================
(3-14)
ダイアログが終わったところから

K: OK, back to the question.
J: Right. Why did the boy ask if his great-grandfather was Scottish?

K: Carolyn, did you happen to catch the right answer?
C: Yes, I'm 90% sure I got the right answer.
K: Oh, that's a high percentage. Yeah, let's hear it.
C: Because he is wearing a kilt in the photo.

J: Congratulations!
C: Wow! Nice!
J: Well done.
K: You did it.

==========
Write It!
==========
(3-15)
◆ 少年の曽祖父
J: Right. Here, it feels like the subject is not just any boy, but the particular boy in the dialog that can refer to.
K: Ah, okay.
J: So, you would use "the," "the boy's great grandfather."
K: I got it. That's a nice start.

◆ 移住、移民しました
C: Well, in the dialog, we heard the word "emigrate."
K: Right.
C: And so, that's the word we want to use here. But we have to be careful, because there's another word that sounds very similar to "emigrate" and has a sort of similar meaning, which is...
K: Wha... what is it?
C: "Immigrate." And they are really easy to confuse.
K: Uh-huh.
C: "Emigrate," basically means to leave your own country, to go and live in another country.
K: OK.
C: Right. It means to exit your country. You emigrate, you exit your country.

C: And "immigrate" means to come to live in a different country.
K: Uh-huh.
C: So, here, the mother's point of view is set in Scotland. And we want to emphasize the grandfather's departure from Scotland.
K: Ah, okay.
C: So, that's why I recommend using "emigrate" here.

(emigrate 〔人が移住のために〕自国を離れる)
(immigrate 〔人が移住のために〕他国に入る、〔人が他国から〕移住してくる)

◆ 彼は赤毛で
J: Right, right. It should be he "had" red hair.

◆ 少年に遺伝しています
C: Here, we can connect "this" with what Jeff just said.
K: OK.
C: Jeff just said "he had red hair."
K: Right.
C: So, let's use "and."
K: Uh-huh.
C: He had red hair and the latter part would be "It's in the boy's genes."

C: Oh, yeah, of course.
J: I'm sure they did. Always too...
C: Good job.

K: So, Carolyn, are you interested in finding your roots?
C: Oh, well, I know my toots.
K: You do!
C: Uh-huh. I'm based on Earth, but I'm originally from Venus.
J: You are!
J: Well, I was your neighbor. I'm originally from Mercury.
C: What!?
J: That's my father's side. My mother is from the Moon, was born in a bamboo shoot... an one of things, you know. Yeah.
C: Ken...?
K: Yes?
C: What about you?
K: Well, I'm just an earthling.
C: Hmm...
K: I'm based on Earth and live on Earth and probably go on Earth.
C: I don't know. You might be from Marth.
J: Yeah, you kind of seem like a Martian to me too.
K: Oh, thanks a lot for the new information. Oh, my goodness.

K: How about you, Jeff? Five times in one breath. Are you ready?
J: There's so much emphasis in this. But I think I'll have to take a big breath.

All: That was such a good job!

K: OK, back to the question.
C: Sure, Ken. “Why didn’t they go to the Vietnamese restaurant?

K: Jeff, did you happened to catch the right answer?
J: Oh, yes.
K: Well, the suspense is killing me.

(the suspense is killing me. どきどきしてたまらない)

J: Oh! Oh, you want me to answer it. Okay.
K: Yes, sure!
J: All right.! Because it was packed.

C: Hey, great.
J: Way to go!

(3-08)
◆ プルコギのキッチンカーは売り切れてした
J: Yes, it's in the past tense.

J: No, no. That's not what it means. It's just a figure of speech. It means the food that was in the track all sold out. So, we're gonna make it simple.

The bulgogi food track was sold out.

◆ 寿司にしました
C: Well, let's use "go for sushi" here, which is right from the dialog.
K: OK.
C: And put it in the past tense, so it'll be "went for sushi." So, the whole sentence is going to be "They went for sushi."

J: I'm sure they did.
C: Of course, good job.
K: All right.

==========

K: OK, I'm getting a little hungry here.
C: Oh-huh.
J: Me too. Talking about food …
K: Yeah, here's a nice question, I hope. What do you have for lunch? I mean usually… You know, what do you have? Carolyn?
C: I wish I could give you a really great answer filled with delicious food, but unfortunately if I do have lunch, I just have a banana.
K: Oh, really?
J: Wow! Well, healthy, I guess.
C: Well, I don't know if it's healthy but that’s what I… I… you know, if I do actually eat lunch. That's great, I guess.
K: All right. So, you go bananas or a banana.
C: I do.
K: No good. How about you, Jeff?
J: Whatever I feel like that particular day. Whatever is handy. Usually, sandwiches… something.
K: Oh, I see. Yeah.
C: That make yourself?
J: No, just pick something out at a convenience store. What a simple. How about you, Ken?
K: I eat anything that I can put my hand on. Yeah. I usually work at home, so…
C: Ah, okay.
K: From home, I mean. So, I cook something. I am a very good critic of my cooking. Oh, I'm getting peckish.

(peckish 小腹がすく)

J: Me too. What do you feel like today?
C: I have some bananas.
