C: Uh-huh.
O: Do you take selfies?
C: Are you kidding? With this face, I'd be scared of breaking my camera.
O: How about you, Roza?

R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Well, I don't know. I don't understand any of that. I must have left my brain at home this morning.
(4:03)
R: You also have to be careful how you say it because if you say it in a different way, it could sound sarcastic like, "Oh, that's too bad."
C: Really sarcastic, huh?
(sarcastic 皮肉な、いやみusing remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what you say, in order to hurt someone's feelings or to humorously criticize something)
(4:50)
R: Hey, guys, check out the textbook. Don't worry, it will never say anything rude to you.
(8:45)
C: OK, guys, are you ready to practice? Of course, you are. And today, you are going to be happy, because we're not doing any grammatical analysis. All we want you to do is treat "must have" as one word. And probably the pronunciation would be like "must've (マスタヴ)." So, "I must've left it in the clubroom." So, "must've" plus any 過去分詞, any past participle is OK; must've gone, must've made, must've seen. Just get that rhythm, must've plus 過去分詞. Here we go. "I must've left it in the clubroom." Try it.
(9:25)
OK. Once more, "must've, must've, must've," one word, right? .... in your head. "I must've left it in the clubroom."
(9:36)
You got it. Well done, guys.
(14:19)
O: Hey, Roza, can you lend me some money?
R: Um... I can but I won't.
O: Oh, I must have asked the wrong person. Hey, Chris, can you lend me some money?
C: No way!
O: I must have asked the wrong person.
C: So, why do you need money anyway?
O: I don't need money. I'm just practicing it.
C: Ah! There you go!

R: Hey, guys, Akino Roza here. You know, Chris, I've been looking at some mechanical pencils recently.
(look at ～に注目する、～を調べる、～について考える)
(looking for something = trying to find or locate something)
(looking at something = focusing your eyes on that thing)
C: And why would you do such a thing?
R: Aren't they cool?
C: Not in my opinion but anyway... Chris McVay here. Let's just get started and leave the pencils alone.
(3:20)
O: Mechanical pencils, don't you think it's too long?
R: It is a bit long, but there is no other word for it.

C: Well, you can say ballpen.
O: Oh!
(4:45)
C: So, guys, since when did you become interested in our textbook? I guess it was from the very first program, right? Yes, thank you so much.
(14:21)
