ラジオ英会話  Lesson 16   Monday, April 25 / May 2

◆ Opening
(0:22)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. You know what, I've decided to quit this program.
R: Really?
C: Roza, you are not supposed to sound happy about it.
R: Oh, I mean uh... Really? Oh, that's too bad.
C: That's too late. Anyway, guys, I'm only joking.

◆ Feel English / Practice
(9:18)
C: So, guys, are you ready to practice further this verb "put"? Let's get started. Basically, it's a very simple image of move and place. Move whatever to a place wherever, but today we're gonna (going to) focus on the fact that it doesn't have to be a concrete place, a physical place. It's also used for more abstract types of places. So, with that in mind, let's practice together.
R: And remember, don't think in Japanese.
C: So, here we go the first one. "Put him in the beginner group." Try it.

(9:55)
C: So, we're moving him to another place, which is just a group, an abstract group. Once more, "Put him in the beginner group."

(10:06)
R: And here's the next example. "Put your life at risk."
(10:14)
R: One last time, "Put your life at risk."

(10:20)
C: And the next one. Are you ready? "Put Japanese into English."
(10:27)
C: And here's another one. "Put my feelings into words."
We've got to move, move my feelings into a concrete place. Put my feelings on a table. I don't think so. "Put my feelings into words." So, let's practice that one together. "Put my feelings into words."

(10:50)
R: And finally, the last example. "Put the family first."
"Put the family first."

(11:04)
C: Keep practicing.
R: You did great.

◆ Ending
(14:09)
O: Hey, guys, do you have an experience of having difficulty in putting your romantic feelings into words?
C: Well, as you all know I'm very shy kind of a guy. So, especially when it comes to love, so I have great difficulty. Roza?
R: Well, I also have great difficulty in expressing my feelings. So, that's why I prefer to express my feelings in song.

ラジオ英会話 Lesson 17   Tuesday, April 26 / May 3

◆ Opening
(0:21)
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. You know, it's tough understanding Onishi-sensei's openings at times.
R: It is.
O: Sometimes.

◆ Feel English / Practice
(9:03)
C: OK, guys, are you ready to practice "leave"? It's a really simple image of separation. Moving away from a place. I'm going to call it a kind of bye-bye feeling. So, with this bye-bye feeling in mind, let's practice these sentences. "Leave London for Paris." Shall we try?"
(9:27)
C: London, bye-bye. Last time, "leave London for Paris."

(9:37)
R: Here's the next example, "leave the job," "leave the soccer club" "leave school."
(9:50)
R: Here again, we have this bye-bye feeling, right? One last time, "leave the job," "leave the soccer club" "leave school."

(10:07)
C: And finally, a rather sad bye-bye, "leave me," "leave me."

(10:18)
R: Fantastic work, guys.
C: Well done. Good job!

◆ Ending
(14:17)
O: He promised that he would never leave me. It's a lie, isn't it?
J: I think if it's really true, you shouldn't have to say it. How about you, Roza?
R: Eventually, just turns into bye-bye feeling あなたにはもう会いたくないよ bye-bye feeling ♪♬ さよなら bye-bye...

ラジオ英会話 Lesson 18   Wednesday, April 27 / May 4

◆ Opening
(0:31)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Oh, no! I think I must have left my wallet in the train. You guys are gonna (going to) have to pay for dinner tonight.

★ certainly にはどんなニュアンスがあるのでしょう?
(4:03)
O: So, in what kind of situation would you like to use "certainly" instead of "yes" or "sure."
R: Well, I think you would use it if you're trying to be very polite.
C: Yeah, that's true. That's probably why Roza very rarely uses it.
R: I have no need to be polite to you, Chris.

◆ Feel English / Practice
(9:20)
C: OK, guys, ready to practice more with this verb "leave"? Well, we focused on the motion of moving away from, separating, this bye-bye-feeling. But today, it's almost the opposite. Let's focus on what you're separating from, what is left behind, OK? That's the feeling for today. So, here we go, "leave what you can't eat."

Let's try again together. "Leave what you can't eat."

(9:54)
R: Up next, "There's little time left." "There is no time left."
(10:07)
C: And another one, very popular one, "leave a message."
So, you've gone but the message is there, left behind. That's the focus. OK? So, with that in mind, once more. "Leave a message."
(10:23)
R: And the last one, "leave it to me." "Leave it to me."

(10:34)
R: Fantastic work.
C: Good job.

◆ Ending
(14:29)
O: Leave everything to me.
C: Hey, look at all these leftovers from the party. Ugh...
O: Leave everything to me.

O: Almost dead.
O: Almost dead. ほとんど脂肪(死亡)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: You remembered your name. That's good, Roza.
R: I did.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. Let's make this the best lesson we've ever had.

(8:33)
C: Leave me alone. That's another expression I use a lot with Onishi-sensei.

◆ Feel English / Practice
(8:54)
C: OK guys, let's practice together. Now, we've often mentioned the importance of catching the native speaker's rhythm. And this is a chance to do that today. We are going to do, verb followed by object, followed by complement. One, two, three, one, two, three, like the key sentence.

Leave -- verb, your valuables -- object, unattended -- complement.
So, let's practice that together, "leave the door unlocked."
(9:25)
Can you feel that one, two, three? Now, open, "leave the door open."

(9:34)
R: Next example, "leave it as it is." "Leave it as it is."
(9:45)
C: OK, another one, "leave it in." Can you feel that music? パンパパン♪パンパパン♪ "Leave it in."
(9:54)
C: And how about using out, "leave it out."

(10:00)
R: And now, my favorite, "leave me alone." "Leave me alone."

(10:13)
C: OK, well done guys. Great practice.
R: Fantastic!

◆ Ending
(14:35)
R: Let's do our best.
C: Yes, this is our next to last lesson. I'm sure you'll make great progress overall this year and have a lot of fun along the way.

(I'm sure you've made great progress overall this year and had a lot of fun along the way. とも聞こえるのですが、意味的には will make, have かもしれませんね)
