Dialogue

Hey, guys. Could you explain the nuance of this “That Bill!”?
David ▶︎Well, ah 〜, usually “That Bill!” is expressing frustration or a little bit anger.
Roza ▶︎Yeah, it would be kind of like the Japanese word “あいつー！.”
Onishi▶︎So that includes a “pointing to” image, right?
David ▶︎Oh, yeah. We’re always pointing a finger.
Practice
Roza
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time to practice. Where you put that “not” is really important, and
it can change the meaning of the sentence. Keep that feeling of “not” 否定 in your mind
as you practice.
David
▶︎ Remember the emphasis is on “not.” For this time, let’s double the emphasis
for this practice. OK?
※ not to get distracted

Roza & David

Ending
