Dialogue
① I wanted to let you know that an old friend of mine ….
【 let you know のニュアンスと an old friend of mine の意味 】
👉let you know「知らせます」という話ですね。tell you よりも少し柔らかい表現です。
そして、an old friend of mine というわけですね。an old frirend「古い友達」それを、of mine が
説明して、「私の古い友達の1人」となっているわけです。
② You must be looking forward to it.【 must と look forward to の意味 】
👉 must これは「違いない」という意味合いで使われています。そして、look forwawrd to 〜
「〜を楽しみにする」こちらも忘れないようにしてください。
③ I am.【 I am. の発音の仕方 】
👉発音に注意しましょうね。am の後ろに大きく省略が行われているので、I am – 少し強めに発音して
ください。
④ 〜, it’ll be nice to have company for a change.【 for a change の意味 】
👉 for a change 「たまには」と訳されるフレーズですけれども、「気分を変えて」あるいは
「いつも通りではなく」- そうした change が感じられているフレーズです。
Pronunciation Polish
Today’s Sentence:Good for you.
David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time for today’s “Pronuncaitaion Polish.”
Here’s today’s phrase.
・Good for you.
・Good for you.
OK.
It’s short and sweet,
and it’s a high frequency phrase.
So let’s master this together, OK?
First up, we have the /d/ sound in “good,”
which will disappear.
good, good
Next up, we have the schwa sound in “for,”
becomes like this.
for, for
for you, for you
・Good for you,
・Good for you,
・Good for you.
Nice.
Now this is just three words.
But the intonation here will decide the nuance.
So please pay careful attention.
“Good for you.” is the standard happy expression.
If you use a neutral tone “Good for you,”
it can sound a little sarcastic.
So let’s practice the intonation one more time
with good energy.
・Good for you.
・Good for you.
How did you do?
You did well?
Good for you!
