Okay, it is started.
Okay.
And I have not thought of anything to say, but I thought I'd just start.
Alright.
And see what happens.
Okay.
Because, yeah, I like this, I like this thing.
Yeah, me too.
What do you call that?
Sokkyo.
What was the English for Sokkyo?
Sokkyo?
I remember there's this one word.
Okay, me too.
Yeah, and I know that you said that you know this word.
Yeah, I know.
It was on the list of my vocabularies for what I didn't know.
Can I say that?
What was that?
Can I say it?
Yeah.
Improvise.
No.
Improvisation.
Improv.
Yeah, improvisation.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think improvise is a different word.
Really?
Improvise is like...
Isn't improvise like to improve?
I think improvise is different from improvisation, isn't it?
Wait, oh, maybe I'm wrong.
Let me look that up.
Yeah.
Well, I thought improv is shortened for improvisation, improvisation.
But I'm not sure.
The meaning of improvise is Sokkyo.
Okay.
Improvise.
So you're correct.
Okay.
And what is improvisation?
Improvise-ation.
Improvise-ation.
Is Sokkyo.
Okay.
You're very correct.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Okay.
Improvise.
I thought improvise meant like...
I didn't know that.
Improvise.
Improvise.
Yeah, improvise.
Improvise.
It means create and perform spontaneously without preparation.
Okay.
But there are some times that I've heard, "Oh, you need to improvise this."
Yeah.
Those contexts.
That's what I was referring to.
Means make it better, improve it.
Oh.
So I wasn't...
The different word?
Correct?
I can't...
I am not finding any definitions that means to improve.
Oh.
They're just all like spontaneous plays.
I don't think...
Oh, to improvise something.
To improvise something.
Meaning.
03:04
To improvise.
Oh, but it's just improvising.
I guess you have to improvise.
You have to improvise.
So I guess there is no definition for improving.
Okay.
So we can say you need to improvise it.
You need to improve it.
Yeah.
Improve it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I guess so.
So this is improvisation.
This right now is improvisation.
Yes.
Okay.
Remember that website I told you in this podcast earlier about like...
But movies, correcting all the movies from...
Yes.
Everywhere.
It was like phrase...
Play phrase dot me, I think, if this is correct.
I checked that out.
It's really good.
It is amazing.
That site is really good.
I think it's pretty useful.
Oh, really?
In learning new language.
And it was a legit site.
It's a payable site.
Okay.
Right.
So you can only search up to five clips per term.
Okay.
If you pay, you get to see more.
Wow.
But, you know, the user interface is clean, fast, and it's really useful.
I'm now recommending this officially.
It's really good.
So it's not something dirty site?
No.
I don't think so.
It's just clear, clean...
Yes.
Business site.
Yes.
And I'm only saying this from the user experience standpoint.
I have not checked anything of its legal angle, but I feel this feels legit.
Yeah.
But it's not that the site owner is owning all the videos, right?
No.
He's just suggesting all the videos to you.
Yeah.
What's not?
It's not 100%, I guess, clean, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So how did you...
What did you search on that?
I searched all the words that I didn't know.
And I also searched most of the slang terms, like "fuck you" and like...
Yeah.
And I was wondering how all those movies were using "fuck you."
And that's just what I thought, it was just the normal usage of "fuck you."
I didn't find anything irregular.
06:00
Even professional are using those words.
I wrote a book about it, so yeah.
When I was in France, I've got a birthday present from my parents.
Parents in France, my host parents.
They gave me a book of bad words.
Oh yeah?
And it was like...
Do you say "calendar"?
Calendar?
Calendar in English?
Yeah.
Okay.
It's kind of "calendar."
And there's one word a day introducing me some bad words with very too polite explanation.
Okay, okay.
Very dictionary.
Yeah, yeah.
Very like too polite explanation with that one bad word.
And it was so fun to read.
Yeah, it was funny.
Yeah, it's enjoyable.
Yeah.
Today, it's like "fuck you" means like if you have no respect to some other people,
that was very polite.
Makes me funny.
It's like "urban dictionary."
Urban dictionary.
Yeah.
You know what those are?
Urban dictionary.
It's a dictionary on the internet that explains all the slang words in a dictionary format.
That's the same one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was kind of surprised that they have at least 30, 60, no, 365 bad words.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's very...
That was my question.
Yeah.
They didn't run out of words?
No?
Wow.
They have so many.
Did you finish reading the book?
Yeah.
Nice.
It's kind of a book.
It's just a calendar.
Oh, right.
It's a calendar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you use that calendar?
Yeah.
Halfway?
Several months?
Yeah.
Three weeks?
But they told me like so many bad words because I didn't speak French at the beginning.
So they had fun time teaching me bad words.
Words, right.
Having fun seeing me saying those words.
Mistakenly?
Yeah.
You didn't know?
Yeah.
That happens when someone who's a foreigner comes into your place, you know, try to learn
English or Japanese or whatever language.
Tell them so.
Right.
Well, yeah, I actually thinking that I want to start some social network.
09:16
Okay.
Media.
Okay.
You mean creating your own account?
Yeah.
I mean my account.
Okay.
What happened?
Or do you want to talk about that next episode?
Yeah, maybe.
It could get interesting.
Because it's already very interesting.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So we'll talk about that in the next episode.
All right.
Thanks, guys.
Bye.
Bye.
