ラジオ英会話 Lesson 51 Monday, June 20
===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:21)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Hurry, hurry, let's get started.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:20)
C: OK, guys, it's practice time and today, we're looking at the difference between "talk" and "speak." It's very easy. If you grasp the basic image of "speak" as just one way, like speak to an audience whereas the image of "talk" is an exchange of ideas.
That's why we say "talk show" and not "speak show." Got it? OK, so with that in mind, let's practice together.
"Speak slowly." Try.
"Speak English."
"Speak on social issues."
(9:59)
R: Next example, "Can I speak to Chris?" "Speaking."
"Can I speak to Chris?" "Speaking."
(10:14)
C: Continuing on, "I can't speak for everyone but ~."
"I can't speak for everyone but ~."
(10:27)
R: And the last example, "talk to Chris about the matter."
(10:33)
R: And a little bit different at this time, "talk with Chris about the matter."
(10:42)
R: Excellent!
C: Great job, guys.

(0:13)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. Hey, Chris, what does that sign say?
C: Oh, I can't see it... written in Spanish, but never mind. Did I tell you I had a really delicious seafood paella when I was in Spain?
R: You didn't.
C: I should have put it on a sign. Chris McVay here.
================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
================================
(3:50)
C: Well, easy to understand explanations of English grammar are our textbook specialty. Check it out.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:13)
R: OK guys, ready for practice? Now today, we are looking at the verb "say." And "say" is all about sending messages, giving information. Now, we don't get messages or information only from spoken words. So, it's natural to use "say" for signs or letters or even graphs. So, with that in mind, let's practice.
(9:34)
R: Well, in that case, I say we do a practice only in English.
C: Well, if you say so. OK, let's start, "say goodbye."
(9:46)
C: The next one, "say thank you."
(9:51)
C: And another one, "say sorry."
(9:56)
C: Good.
R: Let's continue. Repeat after me, "The letter says ~"
"The bible says ~"
"The figures say ~"
(10:13)
C: OK, good. And they're not about the spoken word, right Roza?
R: That's right.
C: OK, here we go. Another one, "It is said that ~."
(10:24)
C: OK and one more, "He is said to ~."
(10:31)
R: And the last view, "Let's say ~"
"Just say ~"
"Say ~"
(10:45)
C: OK, let's say we end there, Roza?
R: Great idea, Chris.
C: Well done, guys.
==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:36)
O: Oh, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye.
R: Oh, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye.
C: Oh, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye.
All: Bye!

R: Love is in the air, I think. Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Roza, I have a favor to ask you.
R: What's that?
C: I'm just practicing.
================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
================================
(4:09)
R: Well, guys, if you'd like to learn more about English, check out our textbook.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:24)
C: It's practice time. Now, we talked about "say" which focuses on the words of a message, while "tell" focuses on the delivery of the message to a particular person. So, I want you to picture, holding a message in your hand and then, handing it over to somebody. OK? Now, let's practice these.
R: And remember, think only in English.
C: OK, here we go, "Don't tell him your phone number."
"Don't tell him your phone number."
(9:59)
R: Next example, "I told you to call me Arnold."
"I told you to call me Arnold."
(10:12)
C: Let's continue. "He told me that ~."
(10:18)
C: So, there you can really feel the message going to this person, me, in this case. "He told me that ~," and the message.
One more time, "He told me that ~."
(10:30)
R: Last example, "I can tell it's a wig."
(10:37)
One more time, guys, "I can tell it's a wig."
(10:45)
R: Excellent!
C: Good job again.

(14:24)
O: Hey guys, I lost some weight but don't tell anyone about it.
C: If they saw you, they wouldn't believe us anyway.
R: You know, honestly, I can't tell if you are being serious or joking.

R: I think you are probably right, Sensei. Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. Roza, you know what I think?
R: What?

R: Hey!
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:01)
C: OK guys, it's practice time. Well, today's verb "think" doesn't need much introduction. It's the most general verb you can choose when you want to express your opinion. And there is a wide variety of depth. It can be very casual to very serious. So, let's practice.
R: And remember, think in English. See? I used it, too.
C: Good one! "Think hard." Try.
(10:28)
"Think carefully."
"Think deeply."
(10:36)
C: OK, keep going, "think positive."
"Think big."
(10:45)
C: OK, couple of more, after me, "think about it."
"Let me think."
(10:54)
R: Here is the next example. Repeat after me, "I'm sorry, but I don't think it'll work."
"I'm sorry, but I don't think it'll work."
(11:11)
C: "I think I'll go shopping."
(11:16)
C: Once more, "I think I'll go shopping."
(11:22)
R: "My homework took longer than I thought."
(11:29)
R: One more time, "My homework took longer than I thought."
(11:36)
C: "I think it's a great idea."
(11:41)
C: And one more, "I don't think it’s a great idea."
(11:48)
R: And our last example, "I thought him to be a reasonable person."
"I thought him a reasonable person."
(12:03)
