Opening

Roza
▶︎ Hey, everyone. This is Akino Roza. We’re so excited to have you back for today’s lesson.

David
▶︎ That’s right. Hi, everyone. I’m David Evans.

Dialogue

① Ethan, why didn’t you answer my texts?【 Why didn’t you 〜？の意味】
👉さあ、ここでは Why didn’t you 〜？という形が出てきましたね。「なぜ〜しなかったんですか」
という形。しっかりと覚えておく必要がありますよ。

② My battery died, and I didn’t notice. 【 「バッテリーがなくなる」という表現 】
👉バッテリーがなくなる、というわけですね。
How do you say “バッテリーがなくなる” in English, without using “die”?
David ▶︎ Ah 〜, run out?
Onishi▶︎ Oh, yeah, that’s right.
Roza ▶︎ Or you would say, “my phone is dead.”
さあ、こうした表現、大変便利なのでしっかり覚えてください。
👉そして、I didn’t notice 「気づかなかった」というわけですね。

③ That’s my fault. 【 fault の意味 】
👉 fault これは「過ち、過失」のことですね。

④ I understand. 【 I understand. と I got it. のニュアンスの違い 】
👉So David. What’s the difference between “I understand.” and “I got it.”?
David ▶︎ So, “I got it” is much more casual, and it almost feels dismissive.
So in this case we have a serious emotion. So “I understand.” is a little more formal, and better here,

Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence：Don’t let this happen again.

David
▶︎ OK, everyone. It’s time for today’s “Pronunciation Polish.”
Let’s check out today’s phrase.
・Don’t let this happen again.
・Don’t let this happen again.

OK.
It’s short and sweet,
But it’s also pretty heavy.
So let’s practice each point and master it together.

First up, we have the /t/ sound at the end of “don’t” and “let.”
These will disappear.
Let’s practice together.
don’t, don’t
let, let
don’t let
don’t let this, don’t let this

Next up, we’ll join “happen” and “again.”
happen again, happen again

OK.
Now let’s start to put it together.
・Don’t let this happen again.
・Don’t let this happen again.

OK.
Now let’s speed it up.
・Don’t let this happen again.
・Don’t let this happen again.

All right, guys.
You were doing great.
Progress may be slow,
but you’re getting better.
Never forget that.
