Practice

Roza
▶︎ OK, everyone. Are you ready to practice?
I know that some of you probably have difficulty with 仮定法. But actually
it’s pretty easy if you get down the feeling of it. So today we’ll practice
phrases that describe the feeling of “I wish,” “I wish.”
Keep that in mind.

David
▶︎ All right. Repeat after us.

※ I wish I had, I wish I had
