R: Hey everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Roza, you know I'm approaching 71, but I'm young for my age, right?
R: Uh! Yes, of course.
C: Doesn't sound honest, does it?
O: No.

◆ Feel English / Practice

(9:59)
C: Practice time. Let's continue practicing this very versatile preposition "for." Today, "for" is used when we wish to focus on a range of things or a period of time. So, let's look at several examples like that. Here we go.
(versatile 用途の広い、多目的に使える flexible, adaptable, all-round)
R: And remember, think in English.
C: OK, I was in London, now, looking at a period of time, for a month. "I was in London for a month." Try it?
OK, another one. "I'll be a bachelor for life."
R: Continuing on, "You're young for your age."
"short for a basketball player"
"small for a T. rex"
C: OK, keep going, responsible … for what? … for quality control. That's the range.
"responsible for quality control"
"had pasta for lunch"
"had pasta for dinner"
One more, "for all I know"
R: And our last couple of examples, "For more information, call us at ~."
"So much for the project."
(11:33)
C: OK, nice one, well done.
R: Great work, guys.

O: Yeah, I set my alarm clock for seven, but I couldn't get up.
R: You're using an alarm clock?
C: Oh, yes.
R: That's so Jurassic.
C: Yeah, so technologically speaking, you are still in the T. rex age.
O: That's right.
(Jurassic ジュラ紀、約1億9千9百万年前～1億4千5百万年前）。 気候は温暖で湿度が高く、裸子植物が発達した。 また魚類と海洋爬虫類が最も発達した時期でもある。)

O: Hey, you won't believe it!
R: What happened?
O: Hey, you won't believe it!
R: What happened?
O: Just practicing.
R: Me too. Akino Roza here.
C: This is weird. Chris McVay here, because I had exactly the same idea but as usual, you guys stole it. I can't believe it.
==================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
==================================
(4:04)
C: Well, maybe our textbook will never go viral, but we are happy that so many people are using it because we put a lot of effort into making it.
(viral ソーシャルメディアを使って口コミで素早く広がる、バイラルの)
R: It makes me feel like jumping for joy.
C: Jump, jump!
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(8:58)
C: Guys, are you ready to practice? We're still on "for." Don't forget the basic image of direction towards something. And from there, now today we are gonna (going to) focus on the reason or cause. "For" is used focus on the reason or cause of something. So, let's start.
R: And remember to think only in English.
C: Yap, so here we go. Thank you. Why are you saying thank you?
"Thank you for ~." Try!
"I'm grateful for ~."
"I'm sorry for ~."
"I apologize for ~."
R: And here are some examples using the great combination of "for" and reason. Let's go through them.
"For this reason, she didn't do that."
"For some reason, she didn't do that."
"There must be some reason for it."
C: OK, and an interesting one to finish with, "You can't see the forest for the trees."
Why can't you see the forest? Because of all the individual trees, you're missing out on the big picture.
So, let's try that again, "You can't see the forest for the trees."
(10:30)
C: Excellent.
R: Well done, guys.

C: Ugh, again?
R: Oh, Onishi-sensei, you know what? A lot of people find you attractive.
O: Oh, really? I'm glad to hear that.
R: I'm just practicing.
C: Just practicing.

(10:00)
C: OK guys, practice time. So, we're going to start practicing "to."
Now this is a very, very basic image. It's just pointing to something or シュー（弓矢が飛んでいる音） you can imagine an arrow zooming to this point. So, with that in mind, let's practice together.
R: That's right, and remember to think in English.
C: Here we go, "went to London"
"went to my hometown"
"walk to the station"
You can see it's very easy, pointing to the station, so "to," walk to the station.
Similarly, the next one, run to the bus stop, "run to the bus stop."
And one more, "get to Phoenix"
R: Continuing on, "known to many generations."
Here too, you can imagine known to, arrow, many generations.
Let's try one more time, "known to many generations."
Next one, "He is kind to ladies."
He is kind to who? ... to ladies. You're pointing at the ladies, right?
"He is kind to ladies."
"He is polite to ladies."
C: OK, a few more, "We won five to two."
"Chris is ten years senior to me."
"Chris is ten years junior to me."
And the last one, prefer math, point, point, point, to English, "prefer math to English."
(11:57)
C: That's it. Well done, guys.
R: Excellent work.

R: Hey everyone, Akino Roza here. Chris, Chris, it's your turn.
C: Oh, sorry. I'm trying to include a deep message in my opening. Yeah?
R: Maybe, you've gone too deep.
C: Right. Chris McVay here. Just enjoy!
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:17)
C: Hey guys, are you ready to practice? We're going to continue our practice of "to."
From the basic image which you know very well, this leads very naturally to the idea of connecting or linking.
So, with that in mind, let's practice. Here we go, "Promise me to keep it to yourself."
And an easy one, "keep to the right."
That's it. You're sticking to the right there.
And "apply to."
R: Continuing on, "must be attached to an email."
"must be stapled to your CV"
"must be glued to your CV"
C: Now, very physical examples, eh, Roza… those ones.
R: Yeah, that's right.
C: OK, here we go, "dance to hip hop music."
Dance to … Where's the direction? Where's the connection? … (ポン) hip hop music.
And our favorite one, "listen to Radio Eikaiwa."
"the key to the apartment"
"the key to the safe"
And the nice one to end with, "the key to happiness."
(11:46)
C: Well done, guys.
R: That was great.

(14:29)
O: Hey Roza, do you use "glue" in American English?
R: Yes, of course.
C: So, there is no difference between British and American English with this word, right?
R: That's right.

(14:17)
R: So, guys, are you going to start looking for a new wife?
O: No way! I've been married for 30 years.
C: And I've been married for longer. I mean, if you've got something perfect, what's the point of looking elsewhere, huh?
R: I know what, I don't think Onishi-sensei would be lucky enough to find someone else to put up with him.
(put up with 我慢する tolerate or endure something)
