★ two times
O: Hey, guys, do you say "two times" instead of "twice"?
R: Yeah, either one is fine.
D: Yap. This works OK.
R: And actually, when you say "two times," it puts a bigger emphasis on it. So, "I tried two times already." It feels heavier.

=============================

(8:11)
R: OK guys, it's time to practice. Here, I want you to imagine your friend running in a race. That's the feeling that I want you to keep in mind as you practice.

D: Nice image, Roza. These phrases all have a feeling of continuing to do something. So, imagine the relay or the tug-of-war when someone is in the middle of something, we use these phrases.

Let’s practice, master them, and use them when you can. Here we go.

  • Stick with it!

R: Let's continue.

◆ Opening
===========
(0:26)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.

O: Oh…
R: Wow, that's amazing.

============================
◆ Typical Expressions / Practice
============================
(9:00)
D: All right, everyone, it's time for the practice.

  • Tomorrow's another day.
  • It won't be long.
  • It's not the end of the world.

R: Hey, everyone, this is Akino Roza. Hey, David, why does Onishi-sensei call you "Cheetah"?

And I'm David Evans. All right, everyone, 99, almost there. Let's have fun today.
