Dialogue
① Yes, that’s why I went to Japan.【 that’s why – 重要フレーズ 】

しっかりと使えるようにしてみてください。
② I need to practice more.【 more の意味 】

Pronunciation Polish
David
▶︎ Well, I guess it’s time for “Pronunciation Polish.”
No, no, no. That’s the wrong attitude.
Yes, it’s time for “Pronunciation Polish.”
All right.
Here’s today’s phrase.
・I guess I’m a blue-eyed samurai.
・I guess I’m a blue-eyed samurai.
We have the three words set today – guess, I’m, a.
Let’s link these up, OK?
guess I’m a, guess I’m a
I guess I’m a
All right.
The “d” in “eyed” becomes very soft, almost disappears.
Let’s listen.
blue-eyed samurai, blue-eyed samurai
All right.
So let’s try that together.
guess I’m a blue-eyed samurai, guess I’m a blue-eyed samurai
All right.
Let’s make the full sentence.
・I guess I’m a blue-eyed samurai.
There’s a little rhythm. Can you feel it?
・I guess I’m a blue-eyed samurai.
You’re doing really well.
Keep up the practice, and you’ll be there in no time.
