R: I'm hungry. Hey everyone, this is Akino Roza.
C: Hi guys, Chris McVay here. Well, I don't care if you are hungry Roza, because what I want to know is ... Did you notice that I changed my hairstyle?
R: I thought something was different, you look very dashing today.
C: Ooh! Let's get started.
(dashing さっそうとして、粋な、カッコ良い attractive in a confident, exciting, and stylish way)

R: Well, if you guys are hungry for some more English, I suggest you check out the textbook.
O: Are you hungry?
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:06)
C: OK guys, it's time for practice. Now, what is the basic image of "among"? Well, I can't do any better than Ohnishi-Sensei's ごちゃごちゃ～ ... , something very unclear, mixed in among all that. So, with that image, let's practice together.
R: And remember, think in English.
(10:26)
C: "There she is, among the crowds coming through the gate."
(10:35)
C: So, you can visualize all these crowds coming through the gate, huh? Oh! There she is!
(10:40)
R: Here's some more examples, "among the applicants"
"among all these people"
"among the mountains"
"among the rich"
"among the injured"
(11:03)
C: OK, let's keep going with that same basic image in mind.
After me, "Discuss among yourselves."
And one more, "Talk among yourselves."
(11:18)
R: And the last few, "among other things"
And the last one, "among the best golfers"
(11:31)
R: That was excellent!
C: OK, and I know you are all among the best students, right?

ラジオ英会話 Lesson 102 Tuesday, August 30
===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:25)
R: Hey everyone, Akino Roza here. Let's get started before Onishi-sensei says anything else.
C: Chris McVay here. Sorry guys, I've just been jogging before coming here. So, yeah, let's start.
==================
◆ Words & Phrases
==================
(3:50)
Regular people 普通の人間
O: Can "ordinary people" be used here?
R: Well, "ordinary" has kind of a nuance of looking down. So, I would say it's not very good to use here.
C: Yeah, I think it's better to use "regular" because "regular" is a neutral word. So, it's safe.
====================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
====================================
(4:35)
C: Well, I guess many of you listen to our program just before breakfast. Thank you for your continued support.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:28)
C: OK, are you in the mood for practicing? Let's look at "before."
A, B, C ♪♬ 1, 2, 3 ♪♬ It's all about order. A comes before B, B before C, 1 before 2, 2 before 3. You got it?
OK, with that in mind, let's practice together.
Here we go, "Shibuya comes before Ebisu."
"before lunch"
"before six o’clock"
"before that"
"before long"
R: Continuing on, "Family comes before work."
This is talking about importance, right?
"Business before pleasure. "
"before all"
(11:25)
C: OK, let's keep going. So, this is from the dialogue, "I made you before I made him."
(11:36)
C: So, you came what order, what order? ... before him. That's all.
(11:42)
R: And the last few, "I've seen it before."
"two weeks before Christmas"
"long before we met"
(11:59)
C: Well done, guys. Great!
R: Before we move on to the next section, I'd like to say that was fantastic.

(14:29)
O: ラジオ英会話 comes before work.
C: What? Are you saying that ラジオ英会話 is not work?
O: Yeah. It is a lot of fun, not work for me.

(0:15)
R: Hey everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Hi guys, Chris McVay here. Roza, can I ask you a favor?
R: Sure, Chris. What's up?
C: Just practicing.
R: Ugh...
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:01)
C: OK guys, it's practice time. This time with "after." A, B, C ♪♬ 1, 2 3 ♪♬ just like before the key image is "order," but this time, it's the opposite. B comes after A, 2 comes after 1. So, this naturally leads to the meaning of "following" as well.
(9:22)
So, with all that in mind, let's practice together.
Here we go, "after dinner"
"after lunch"
"after work"
"after school"
"after that"
"after nine o’clock"
R: Let’s continue on, "take after your father"
"name my daughter after my mother"
C: OK, continuing, "The police are after you."
So, here we have "you." Where are you? You escaped, so naturally the police are running after you, behind you, following, in order to catch you. OK?
So, with that image in mind, once more, "The police are after you."
(10:23)
OK and similarly, "This painting is after Picasso."
And an easy one, "After you."
R: A few more, "day after day"
"time after time"
C: And finally, "after finishing my homework"
And the last one, "after the class is over"
(10:58)
C: Good job!
R: Fantastic work, guys.
==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:17)
O: Hey guys, the phrase "look after oneself" is really interesting, isn’t it?
C: Yeah, here is an example, you know, "Your medaka can look after themselves if they have an automatic feeder."
O: No, they need TLC, tender loving care.
R: Uh, I think it's you that needs their TLC. Onishi-sensei can't look after himself.

(0:15)
R: Hey everyone, Akino Roza here. Ready for today's lesson?
C: Sure, I am, Roza. Chris McVay here. But before that, I'd love an iced café latte.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:20)
C: Hi guys, it's practice time with me and Roza. Here we go. Today we are looking at "along." The image here is movement, following some kind of physical or imaginary line. So, with that in mind, let's practice together.
(9:36)
R: And remember, think only in English.
(9:39)
C: Here we go, "walk along the beach.”
(9:45)
So, we can see this beach stretching out in front of us and we follow that.
And similarly, "walk along the street."
(9:55)
R: A couple more, "You can find it along the street."
"You can find it along the way."
(10:08)
C: OK, here is another couple, "Move along."
"Come along."
"Take an umbrella along."
(10:23)
R: And our last couple of examples, "get along with ~"
"get along well with ~"
"You knew all along who did it, didn't you?"
(10:41)
C: OK. Good job!
R: You're doing great!
==========
◆ Ending

(14:20)
O: Hey Chris, you produce so many "sampo" examples.
Why is that?
C: Well, if I do, the reason is clear. It's because it helps our listeners relax.
R: I thought it was because you're just romantic at heart.
C: That, too.
(at heart 心から、本心は)

R: Wow!
C: Hmm... Well, I actually don't like it, but I go there eight times a week.
R&O: That's a lie.
