Yes, I see you Yamachan. I see you doing your hand gestures.
Yeah, no one can see because it's an audio formatted program.
Okay, I'm going to continue on with my ad. I'm really bad at drinking water.
That's very irrelevant to what we're talking about.
Please don't say something funny when I drink water.
I'm terrible at it. Okay, got it.
I will not do that. You go ahead and drink your water.
I will just continue on with my ad podcast!
I don't even know why I said that.
The pressure of me having to say something funny came to me.
I don't know why but I said ad podcast!
Okay, you're going to puke any minute so I'm going to continue on.

Sarah-san? Okay, thank you Sarah-san.
Hello, I'm Sarah from Kevin's English Room Podcast Club.
Thank you.
Previously, we had a lot of content like cars, can, and can't.
But now that we've got a lot of content, we're hoping for a sequel.
Ah!
Hey!
Ah!
That's a phrase, man.
Ah! What do you mean? That's a word.
Is that a word?
Ah!
In Japanese it's like "ah!"
はい、はい、あるね。
In English it's like "ah!"
There's a difference between an "ah" and an "ah."
You hear the difference, right? Yeah, of course.
It's deeper.
You open your throat.
Ah!
Like Cardi B.
You know how Cardi B does the "ah!"
It's a similar type of vocal.
03:02
Yeah.
It sounded like a cow.
Right, you can imagine it's a cow.
You might be able to do it better if you imagine it's a cow.
So...
We hope for a sequel.
We'll give you a few examples, so I'd be happy if you could read them one by one.
Okay.
Some of them aren't difficult, but I'd be happy if you could read them as a Christmas present for your fans.
Okay.
So can you...
Sure, sure.
Please read those.
Ah, okay.
Ah...
There's, what, like...
Ten?
Oh no, one, two, three, four, five, eight?
Eight, okay.
Seven, sorry.
Seven, yeah.
Okay.
Seven...
Two very similar pronunciation words.
Okay.
Pray, play.
Pray, play.
Yeah.
Let's pray together.
Let's play together.
Oh, yeah.
Death, death.
Death, death.
I hear the differences.
Right, there's an S at the end.
Right.
Want, won't.
What?
Want, won't.
I want a car.
I won't buy a car.
Ah...
Want and won't.
Okay.
Will, won't.
Won't, yeah.
That's...
I think it's different.
Want, won't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Love, rub.
I love you.
I rub you.
Ah, okay.
You.
Okay.
That's a cool phrase, by the way.
I rub you?
Yeah.
I don't know what it means.
It's just...
It's on the DM.
I don't know what that means, though.
Is that a thing?
Do you know what it means?
Like, steal.
Oh.
No, no, no.
It's R-U-B, not R-O-B.
Rub, like...
Rub, like...
Yeah, kusuru.
Ah, okay.
Sorry.
Rub.
Okay.
Right.
Like, rub the paper.
Yeah.
Rub money together.
Yeah, rub the coins.
Okay.
Or something like that.
So I rub you, you just...
Yeah, I kusuru you.
Okay.
I don't know.
There could be a meaning, though.
Yeah, yeah.
Grammatically, dramatically.
Grammatically, dramatically.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Bear, bear.
Ah, this is...
I think it's the same pronunciation.
It's an E or an A. Bear, bear.
Oh.
Bear, bear.
B-E-A-R or B-A-R-E?
Bear, bear.
Wow, does that...
Is that a difference?
Ah, just a little bit.
Oh, really?
Bear, bear.
Ah, yeah.
The "bear" is longer on the B-A-R-E.
So the short one is bear.
The long one, the B-A-R-E, is bear.
06:03
Oh.
Bear, bear.
Bear.
But you know what?
I think it's the same.
It just ultimately, I think it's just the same.
If it's in a sentence, I don't know.
I don't think it's going to make a difference at all.
Okay, okay.
So this is too difficult.
But last one.
Desert, desert.
Desert, desert.
Desert, desert.
Desert, desert.
Desert, desert.
That's a different intonation, I guess.
Desert, desert.
Okay.
Right?
You know what it is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I guess the pray, play, death, deaths, want, won't, love, rub, grammatically, dramatically,
bear, bear.
Desert, desert.
I feel like at your level, you know, Johnny, you can distinguish everything.
I mean, bear, bear is difficult.
Yeah, excluding that.
Because I think, I can't even, I don't think I can hear the difference.
They're so similar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I can hear the differences, all of them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, like the cause, cause, you know, cause, cause, trequus, much more difficult.
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
How about, how about, let's do death or deaths.
Yeah.
Do you think you can, I'm going to put in a sentence.
Okay.
Uh.
I'm not going to make it grammatically correct.
Sure.
Because if it's grammatically, you probably figured it out.
Uh.
I have seen so many deaths in there.
Okay.
Oh, uh, that's a single death.
Yeah, that's true.
Okay.
It's probably easy for you.
Yeah.
Let's play together.
Oh, sorry, can I say that again?
Let's play together.
Oh.
But I guess that's praying in church or something, no?
It's P-L-A-Y.
Ah, really?
Let's play together.
Oh, that's L. Can I say the different one, R one?
Let's pray together.
That's R one?
That's R.
Let's pray together.
Oh, but that's difficult.
Let's play together.
What's that?
Can you?
Let's play together.
That's L.
Let's play together.
That's L, play football or something.
Let's play together.
Ah, that's something you do in church.
That's L.
Ah, that's difficult.
Yeah.
Let's play together.
Let's play together.
That's R.
09:00
That's R, yes.
That's inori.
But this is difficult actually.
Like when you hear like simple like a word, then you can hear the differences, but it
isn't a phrase.
That's difficult.
One more task.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Your DM close.
I'm sorry.
Can you?
Oh, yeah.
Close.
You know, I don't need the DMs.
I can just.
Okay.
I know what to do.
Did I click something?
No, no.
Okay.
Let's play together.
Let's play together.
Wow.
Was that difficult?
I didn't think like this is difficult thing to do, but this is difficult.
Let's play together.
That's.
Can I say that again?
Sure.
Let's play together.
That's L.
That's L.
Okay, okay.
That's L.
Okay.
Let's play together.
It sounds like R1.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's the R1.
Okay, okay.
Play together, play together and pray together.
Play together and pray together.
Yeah.
Pray, play, pray, play.
But that's difficult to me.
I guess it is in a sense.
Wow.
Yeah.
Difficult one.
Such a major concept of the L and R being difficult, but never actually thought it was
actually this difficult in a practical usage, right?
Yeah.
In like that speed.
Contacts and speed.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
You put together, you know, us put together and makes it more difficult.
Right.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
