D: All right, everyone, it's time for today's practice. Natural conversations can be messy things, sometimes it's necessary to take back the right to speak. So, let's practice these phrases just in case you need to do that.

(0:24)
R: I don't mean to be rude, but you're not so funny. Hi, everyone, this is Akino Roza.
D: And I'm David Evans. I'm pretty sure that joke is well known.

============================
◆ Typical Expressions / Practice
============================
(10:02)
D: OK. It's time for today's practice. Sometimes we need to say something that may have a strong or negative impact. So, before we say it, we give the listener a cushion, something to soften the impact of the words. Today's phrases practice those. So, let's master them. OK?

R: Let's go.
D: Here's our first.

  • No disrespect intended, but ~
  • With all due respect, ~

(with all due respect = 恐れながら、失礼ながら、お言葉を返すようですが)

  • No offense, but ~
  • No offense to you, but ~

  • I hope you don't mind, but ~
  • I hope you don't mind me saying, but ~
  • Forgive me for asking, but ~

And one more.

  • I don't mean this in a bad way, but ~

(11:30)

D: With all due respect, Roza, that's absolutely true. Great work, everyone.
