Dialogue

👉 had to これはもちろん have to の過去形ですね。「〜しなければいけませんでした」
というわけですね。
▶︎ at least は「少なくとも」「最小の点では」という意味です。
least は、 little – less – least、little の最上級ですね。

👉 specialty これは「名物、自慢の料理」という意味です。
③ I’ve never had steak for breakfast before. 【 have never の意味 】
👉 I’ve never という形が出てきましたね。現在完了、経験の否定です。
「私は決して〜したことがない」という意味です。
④ I like my eggs scrambles.【 さりげなく目的説明型 】
👉これは目的語説明型です。eggs が scrambled された状況のものが好きだ、
と言っているわけです。scramble という動詞は、「ごちゃごちゃにする」
そうしたニュアンスの動詞です。
Practice
Roza
▶︎ OK, everyone. Are you ready to practice? For today’s practice,

So keep that feeling in mind as we practice.

Ending
Onishi
▶︎ Hey, David. Why do you want your eggs on a separate plate?
David
▶︎ Ah 〜, some people are sensitive to flavors mixing.
So maybe you have eggs on one plate, and pancakes on another.
They just don’t want their flavors and foods to mix.
Roza
▶︎ Usually, I don’t like mixing my food, but pancakes and eggs is
the only exception, and bacon of course.
