Dialogue
① It is 1:20 in the morning.【 morning の意味するもの 】
👉そうですね。英語の morning は深夜の 0時から始まっているわけですよ。
② I got lost in my work.【 lost のニュアンス 】
👉さあ、get lost in – これは「〜に没頭する、夢中になる」というフレーズで使われています。
lost というのは「道に迷った」という意味もありますね。ここでは「仕事などに集中して、周りが
見えなくなっている様子」が表されているため、lost が使われているんです。
③ What are you working on? 【 work on の意味 】
👉 work in – これは「〜に取り組む」というフレーズ。
覚えておいてください。重要ですよ。
④ I am giving another presentation in Tokyo.【 予定を表す進行形 】

Pronunciation Polish
David
▶︎ OK, everyone. It’s time to polish up the pronunciation. Are you ready?
Here’s today’s sentence.
・I am giving another presentation in Tokyo.
・I am giving another presentation in Tokyo.
All right. There’re two concepts here.
First is “am” the /ə/ sound. All right?
It’s not quite 短縮 level – I’m.
So it’s “I am.”
I am, I am
I am giving, I am giving
Let’s llink “giving” and “another.
So it becomes “giving – another,” “giving – another.”
I’m giving another.
All right. Last up is “presentation” plus “in.”
presentatin – in, presentation – in
Already, we have the key parts.
Let’s make the setence.
・I am giving another presentation in Tokyo.
・I am giving another presentation in Tokyo.
Wow, that’s so smooth when you put it together like that.
Doing great!
