ラジオ英会話 Lesson 56  Monday, June 27

===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:13)
O: I can't wait!
(0:20)
R: Well, I believe it's time to start our lesson. Akino Roza here. Chris, it's your turn.
C: Oh! Oh, it's my turn. Sorry, I was dreaming of the pyramids. Chris McVay here, guys. Let's get started.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:16)
C: OK guys, I believe we're ready to practice. Now, this word "believe," it's just a deeper version of "think" coming more from the heart, from feeling than just the head. So, with that in mind, let's go!

R: And remember, think only in English.
C: After me, "I don't believe it."
"I don't believe that."
(9:43)
And the question form, "Can you believe it?"
"Can you believe that?"

(9:53)
R: OK, continuing on, "I believe we can meet the deadline."
(10:01)
R: One last time, "I believe we can meet the deadline."

(10:09)
C: And another one, "I believe it's a great idea."
(10:16)
Can you feel it? Here we go, again, "I believe it's a great idea."

(10:25)
R: "Believe in Ken."
"Believe in God."
"Believe in horoscopes."
"Believe in giving everyone a fair chance."

(10:47)
C: You believe in giving everyone a fair chance, don't you, Roza?
R: I do. And I believe everyone did very well.

(14:26)
R: Hey, Chris, look out the window. Isn't that the Great Onishi-sensei?
C: Yes, I think you are right and, you know, the pyramids look small next to him.
R: Yeah, he is huge.
O: Oh, I can't believe you said that.

ラジオ英会話 Lesson 57  Tuesday, June 28

===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:22)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. You know what I've been wanting to tell you two?
R: What's that?
C: I enjoy working here.
R: Oh!
C: Just practicing.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:24)
C: OK guys, it's practice time. So, today's word is "know," and the keyword here is "certainty." You don't just think. You don't just believe.
R&C: You know!
C: So, with this level of strength, let's practice together, OK? Here we go, "know English."
"Know London."
"Know Ken."

(9:55)
R: Here are the next few examples, "Everybody knows ~."
"Nobody knows ~."
"Who knows?"

(10:09)
C: OK, keep going, "know good from bad."
And "know right from wrong."

(10:23)
R: And the last example, "I've never known a winter like this."
(10:32)
One more time, "I've never known a winter like this."

(10:42)
C: I've never known such excellent students. Well done.
R: I know!

==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:20)
O: Hey, guys, what do you know very well?
R: Hmm... well, I would say I know 和服 very well.
O: Uh-huh. How about you, Chris?
C: I’ll say I know Barcelona very well. So, if anyone needs a guide...
R: What about you, Sensei?
O: I know my medaka very well. They are my only friends.
R: ですよね~。
C: So sad.

ラジオ英会話 Lesson 58  Wednesday, June 29

===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:08)
O: Oh Jessica, I can see it coming.
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. I hope you'll find today's lesson interesting.
R: Of course, they will, Chris.
C: Hu-huh.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:21)
C: OK, are you ready for today's practice? Now, today I want you just to imagine a big, big question mark in your head. The thing is, you don't know something but want to know it. And therefor, you ask yourself a question. And that's the basic image of "wonder." So, let's practice together. Here we go. "I wonder who that woman is."

(9:49)
C: OK, and a slight variation, "I'm wondering who that woman is."
(9:58)
R: "I was wondering if you could help me."
(10:04)
Do you feel that distance that politeness there? "I was wondering if you could help me."
(10:13)
C: OK, keep going, "I was wondering if you'd like to ~."
(10:21)
OK, so you don't know, but you want to know, and that's where the "wonder" comes in. Once more after me, "I was wondering if you'd like to ~."

(10:33)
R: And a couple more, "I wonder why ~."
"I wonder why ~"
"No wonder~."
"No wonder~."

(10:51)
C: No wonder they're making progress, eh, Roza?
R: Well, they are listeners of Rajio Eikaiwa after all.
C: That's right.

==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:28)
O: I wonder why Jessica is so interested in professor Peacock.
C: Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? She has a big crush on him.
O: Oh!
C: Don't you think so, Roza?
R: I think it's because he has so much life experience.
O: Like me, huh?

(crush on に恋している、~に強い憧れを感じている、メロメロ)

===========
◆ Opening
===========
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. Let's have another great lesson.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. Wow, how cool it is to be with you guys in the studio. Let's get started.

================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
================================
C: Well, our textbook is definitely not in training. It already has over four years of experience. So, you can trust it.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(8:53)
C: OK guys, are you ready to practice? Now today, I want you to focus on the reaction that you have when you find something, something unexpected happens and there's this reaction. Roza can help us with this, I'm sure.

R: あっ、あった!
C: OK, so with this 「あ!」 feeling, let's practice together, OK?
(9:12)
R: And remember guys, think only in English.

(9:15)
C: Here is the first phrase, you repeat after me, "find time."
"Find Mr. Right."
"Find an empty seat."
"Find the solution."

(9:35)
R: Here’s some more examples, "find that he's a good guy."
"Find that we're going in the wrong direction."

C: OK, continuing on, "find Chris sitting on a bench."
"Find the book easy."
"Find her honest."

(10:07)
R: And here is the last one for me, "Where did you find the money?"
"Where did you find the money?"

(10:25)
C: Oh, that was my money. OK, great job, guys.
R: Excellent work.

==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:28)
R: I hope you found our lessons interesting this month.
C: Yeah, these basic verbs are basic that means you can use them a lot in everyday conversation. Practice, practice ...
R: Practice.
C: Practice.
All: Bye!
