R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. I hope you enjoyed Onishi-sensei's だじゃれ for the start of your day. Let's get started.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. Well, I love Onishi-sensei's puns, but I don't like smoothies.
(9:07)
C: OK guys, let's practice the key sentence together. And the key word here is contrast. So, when you practice this kind of sentence, you have to make the contrast very clear. Something like this, "at best (ポンポンポン) and at worst (ポンポンポン)."
All right, let's just use English, eh? "At best he's an entertaining writer, and at worst he's just a dreamer." Let's say it. Go!
(9:40)
Do you feel that contrast? Once more. "At best he's an entertaining writer, and at worst he's just a dreamer." Last time.
(9:57)
Excellent. Well done.
(14:20)
O: The second example, "Even the best golfers miss easy putts once in a while." This is your excuse, right Chris?
C: Well, I use this every time I'm on the green. Taking three putts is my specialty.
R: Um..., "every time" is different from "once in a while," you know.

(8:09)
R: OK guys, let's practice the key phrase together. Now here, like Onishi-sensei said, the important part is to remember that "as fast as I can." You should memorize this phrase so that you can say it without thinking. So, "as fast as I can." It's one phrase. "As fast as I can." Got it? OK. Now, let's put it together. "OK, keep calm. I'll get there as fast as I can."
(8:42)
Were you able to say it as one phrase? Let's try one more time. "OK, keep calm. I'll get there as fast as I can."

C: As unsafe as can be? Why is that?
O: Because Roza is here.
