@@Yoko-u9v Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, this video is getting very few views, but it’s a very useful one. In my experience (and I have a LOT of experience), Japanese students of English almost always mispronounce these words. カタカナのせいで！！

@@Yoko-u9v thanks!!😂

@@みーみー-q6u 漢字褒められるのって…とてもいい感じです😁　コメントありがとうございます！

@@yutatakeuchi5497 コメントありがとうございます！”Burn”の発音は特に難しいです…Practice like this: (1) er; (2) ern (稼ぐという意味の “earn” と全く同じ) (3) burn.

@@Yoko-u9v It’s a really, really common phrase. And it has exactly the same meaning as 「めんどくさい」 so it’s easy to learn. Actually, I think it sounds cute when cute and classy ladies say “a pain in the ass” but, yeah, it might be better to say “a pain in the neck”.😂

I’m sorry to hear you don’t like summer in Tokyo⤵️😔 But I’m very happy to get a comment from you! Thanks!! And keep up the great work👍🏽

良かったです！これからも楽しみながら頑張って下さい🎵

I’m very happy to hear that, thanks!

That’s a really tough one. Lemme think about it and get back to you…..

Oh, I get that award every year. I have a whole collection 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment! But why haven’t you been praying for the 2024 Cubbies to win the NL Central Division?! They need Allah’s help so please go to the prayer room to pray!!!! Here’s one more mini lesson for you: I haven’t pray for the Cubs.❌ I haven’t prayed for the Cubs.⭕️ I haven’t do my homework.❌ I haven’t done my homework.⭕️ (I haven’t + 過去分詞)

Let’s practice a little bit at the beginning of your next lesson. コツがあるからきっと正しく発音できるようになるよ👍🏽

Hi Yoko! Great lesson today as always😊 This is an important lesson. Let’s practice “you should ~~” and “you’d better ~~” at the beginning of your next lesson. It won’t be difficult at all. I’ll give you a situation and then you choose the appropriate phrase. You’ll master it after 6 or 7 minutes of practice👍🏽

Hi and thanks for your comment! If you have a request for a one-point English lesson video, please let me know🙏

Thanks for watching the video and thanks for your comment! YOU are always so much fun, too!!😄 Keep up the great work👍🏽

良かったです！Thanks for your comment👍🏽

Yep. I was there last year for two weeks in March and all of September and October. I’m in Okinawa this month and will be back in Shibuya-ku next month. Not Ebisu, though - IO English World lessons are all online now.

Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!!♡ And wow!! What an excellent example!!😄 Wrigley Field is a very special place for me. Go Cubs Go!!🎵 そうだね…発音は全く一緒だけど順番について話してない時は “2nd” より アルファベットで “second” を打った方が自然だと思います。 例えば、”Wrigley Field is the second oldest ballpark in MLB” is better than ““Wrigley Field is the 2nd oldest ballpark in MLB”, but 2位、3位、4位とかはだいたい “2nd, 3rd, 4th…”になります。

Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!!♡

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! Learning a foreign language is exactly like learning how to play a musical instrument - just keep practicing until it sounds good and comes out naturally🎵

Thanks for your comment. Yeah, it’s amazing how few Japanese and Korean students of English aren’t familiar with the difference between “should + 動詞の原形’ and “had better + 原形”. But if there’s no emergency “had better ~~” is actually quite rude so everyone should understand the difference. I guess that an English-to-Japanese translator in the Meiji Era decided that “had better ~~” was the correct translation of the Japanese expression “何々した方がいい” becomes “A is better than B” is the same as “BよりAの方がいい. And then “you had better ~~” became the standard textbook translation of “何々した方がいい” but it’s a terrible translation. All students should be careful when they study English with textbooks. The English in the textbooks is often archaic (古い！) and sometimes completely wrong.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

And I love your comment!! (ちょっと詩的なセリフみたいだね⁉︎) Aさん) I love your content, thank you! B)さん) And I love your comment, thank YOU!!

Thanks for the “welcome back”! And I WAS back in the Tokyo area last month. But this month I’m back in Amphoe Bang Lamung, Thailand. The pool is great‼️‼️🐳 And the weather is perfect almost every day‼️☀️😎

Great request! You can use lots of different adjectives with the same pattern. For example: A) How was ~~ ? B) It was good/okay/great/delicious/exciting/fantastic/awesome. Let’s practice together during your next online lesson.

今度もうちょっとゆっくり話します。特に発音練習の時！

Can I give you some more tips?

コメントありがとうございます！ Exactly!! Listen/repeat, listen/repeat, listen/repeat (声を出す) and INPUT the Real English!! And most importantly. . . have fun😄

Good question! よろしくお願いしますって英語ないです。このエッセイを読んでください: www.ioew.fun/pages/3294501/page_201910112119 特に No. 3 です☝🏽 You can just say: “Happy New Year! I’m looking forward to see you again a lot more this year!” 意味は全然違うけどこのような言い回しはよく使われてます。

コメントありがとうございます！　頑張ってねᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ 楽しみながら practice, practice, PRACTICE!!!

ムシムシって電話の挨拶に聞こえるね⁉︎🤣 コメントありがとうございます！

でしょ⁉️😁

Thank YOU for the comment! Did I move to Thailand??? Um . . . not really. I’ll be back in Japan next month‼️🇹🇭🛫🛬🇯🇵

Have a blast 👏

Thanks! “Pissing out”?! Never heard it. It might be a British English or very possibly an Aussie English thing. I’ll ask my British friend tomorrow - he’ll know!

@@ioenglishworld224 or maybe just a Canadian thing.

@@KickAssets I asked around. One of my Canadian friends said that he does indeed sometimes say “it’s pissing out”. There are various slang expressions using “piss” to mean “rain”: It’s pissing down. It’s pissing outside. It’s pissing out. It’s pissing out there. But all of these are very informal. You should use these “pissing” variations only with friends and family. Certainly never in a business situation!

いい質問です！英語の現在形はいつも通りか一般的な情報に使うので “It rains” は使わないです。今起こってることについて話してたら現在進行形を使うから “It’s raining” って言うんですよ。もしどこかの気候について話してたら現在形の “It rains a lot in June in Tokyo” って言います。

なるほど！わかりやすい説明ありがとうございました！

Thanks for your comment!
