R: Hey everyone, this is Akino Roza. Ready for today's lesson?
C: Hi guys, today the train stopped. So, I ended up coming to the studio by hitchhike.
R: Nice one, Chris.

C: OK guys, it's practice time again. And today, we're looking at the word "up."
Now, it has a simple image of movement in an upward direction. But I think you are going to be amazed by how this naturally leads to a massive variety of uses. It might mean more work for you though. Anyway, let's get started with the practice.
(in an upward direction 上方向に、上方に、上に向かって)

C: "stand up"
"get up"
"give up"
"look up to"
"speak up"
"listen up"
"Prices went up."

"drink ~ up"
"eat ~ up"
"clean ~ up"
"be fed up with ~"

"wake up"
"stay up"
"sit up"
