ラジオ英会話 Lesson 36 Monday, May 30
=============
◆ Opening
=============
(0:22)
C: Chris McVay here. Roza, I have a question for you.
R: What's that?
C: Aren't you glad we met?
R: Yes! You gave me your credit card, I mean, your card at that bar.
C: Oh, no.
====================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
====================================
(4:50)
R: Our textbook is the tastiest you’ll ever have.
======================
◆ Feel English / Practice
======================
(10:23)
C: OK, guys, it's practice time. Today, we're going to practice the verb "get." Now, “get” always contains some feeling of a process that's involved. Therefore, the image is of motion before something arrives into your hands. So, let's practice with that feeling and that image in your mind.
R: And remember to think in English.
C: So, after me: “get a letter,” “get a birthday card,” “get the chance.”
And a few more: “get an A in English,” “get a lesson,” “get the money.”
You can feel the process in all of these examples. Roza?
(11:14)
R: Let’s continue with some more examples: “get a ticket,” “get the flue,” “get a checkup,” “get a haircut.”
(11:31)
C: OK, let’s continue: “I don’t get it.”
Once more: “I don’t get it.”
R: And the last one: “I’ll get you a chai.”
One more time: “I’ll get you a chai.”
(11:54)
C: Well done, guys.
R: You got it.

(14:25)
O: Maybe a better version of “I’ll get you an umbrella” is something like “I’m not having you go out in the rain without an umbrella.
C: Nah! Too romantic.

============
(0:21)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. Let’s get started.
C: Well, Chris McVay here. You know, I don’t have a special opening because I’m saving my energy for the practice corner.
========================
◆ Feel English / Practice
========================
(9:45)
C: OK, guys, let’s practice. You remember the basic image of “get” is motion. There’s some kind of process involved, right? Well, today, we’re gonna focus on “get to.” So, from a starting point we move a little by little keep moving until we reach the final destination. So, with that image in mind, let’s practice together.
R: And remember, think in English.
C: Great. “Get to know you better.” Try it.
(10:16)
C: And a few more: “get to like it,” “get to hear about my accident.”
(10:27)
R: Here’re some more examples where you can really feel the nuance of going to a destination: “get to London,” “get to the station,” “get to work.”
(10:43)
C: OK, let’s keep going. “Don’t let it get to you.”
(10:49)
C: So, there is a bad situation and it’s gonna.... it's way to you but stop it, stop it. Don’t let it reach you. Try once more. “Don’t let it get to you.”
(11:01)
R: Last example. “Quick! Get a cloth!” “Quick! Get a cloth!”
(11:12)
R: Great job!
C: Well done, guys.

R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. Speaking of 売る or 売らない, I’m definitely not for sale.
O: I know.
=================================
◆ During the Japanese translation part
=================================
★ I impressed myself.
(2:35)
C: Yeah, it’s like a half joking boasting about himself, right?
(boasting 自慢する bragging / to speak too proudly or happily about what you have done or what you own)
====================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
====================================
(4:35)

◆ Feel English / Practice
======================
(9:48)
C: OK, guys, are you ready to practice again? Here we go.
“Get,” I’m sure you’re all used to the basic image now of motion, and this naturally leads to the meaning of change. Let’s see some examples.
R: And remember, think in English. Let’s get going.
C: “Get angry.” You weren’t angry. Now you are.
“Get wet.” You were dry. Now you are wet.
“Get warmer.” You were colder. Now you are warmer.

(10:40)

R: And the last one; “It’s getting colder and colder.” “It’s getting colder and colder.”
(11:08)
R: Excellent guys.
C: Great! You’re getting better and better.

◆ Opening
=============
(0:18)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. Guess what? I got Chris to bake me a cake. He’s so sweet and Kind.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. Roza, I was about to say, you’re so sweet and kind.
R: Oh!
C: But I was only practicing.
========================
◆ Feel English / Practice
========================
(9:45)
C: OK, guys, let’s have our last practice of “get.” Now, keep in mind the basic image motion, some process. And this naturally leads to the meaning of pushing someone or something towards a target situation. OK, so, let’s try that together.
R: And remember only use English.
C: So, “get him to help me.” There’s a process involved. You know, you debate, you discuss with a person, ポン, then you got him. After me, “get him to help me.”
(10:16)
C: Good. And the next one is the same, “get her to babysit.” Try it.
(10:25)
C: And the final one, “get her to translate it into English.”
(10:33)
R: And some more examples: “get the suitcase into the car.”
(10:41)
So, here you can imagine the pushing the suitcase to the target situation into the car.
The next example is the same thing. Try together. “Get the bicycle into the garage.”
(10:57)
C: OK, and another one, “get dinner ready.”
One more time, “get dinner ready.”
(11:08)
R: And the last two: “get my homework done.” Get to the target situation of “my homework done,” “get my homework done.”
(11:22)
R: And last one, same thing here. “Get the job done.” “Get the job done.”
(11:33)
R: Excellent work.
C: Well done.
============
◆ Ending
============
(14:37)
C: My simple message is practice, practice, practice.
All: Bye!
