R: OK, guys, let's practice together. So here, we want you to keep in mind the nuance of talking about plans. The "i-n-g" here is talking about plans. So, "Are they having plans?"
R: All right. Let's practice together. "Are they having another concert?

C: Yes, I do.
O: On what subjects?
C: It's called "Chris's Ramblings." So, they’re all over the place really, but I was a bit embarrassed at first because they are supposed to be about me and my experiences. But uh... we've got, uh, lots of positive feedbacks. So, I feel more comfortable now.
O: Oh, that's great, isn't it?
R: Maybe I should read it sometime.
C: Hey, you mean, you haven't read it? What …?

R: Ah, I love this time of year. I hope it snows too. Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Hey you two, I wish you were not here. Ah, sorry, that's not good to say.
R: Hey!
C: Let's get started.

(3:59)
C: I'd like to add a point here that many learners say, "Let's take a virtual walk together with me." And you don't need to say "with me" because it's already included in "Let's." So, be careful with that one.

(14:07)
O: Hey, guys, have you ever had a long-distance relationship?
R: Well, I had one for about four years. In fact, I think that's why it lasted so long.
C: Probably.
R: What about you, Chris?
C: Yeah, I had one for a year when my wife was completing her degree at a French university, and I was completing my degree at an English university. So, that final year, we were apart.
