◆ Typical Expressions / Practice
============================
(9:35)
R: OK, everyone, it's time to practice. Today, I want you to focus on connecting the words in the sentence for a more smooth and natural flow.

★ I know not
O: Hey, guys, do you usually use "I know not"?

Here's our first.

(staccato 歯切れの良いcrisp)
- I can tell the difference.
Feel that? Instead of "I can (キャ～ン)," it's "I can (クン)," "I can (クン)." Just like that. Let's try that one more time.
