Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
That wasn't...
Not a message?
Yeah, I mean, that wasn't proper for this lovely clean show, you know.
Oh, too dirty?
Yeah.
Got it.
It's rare that we...
It's like a kind of...
It's like a kind of...
希望中傷?
No, it's like a 下ネタ?
Oh.
Yeah.
Is that rare?
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
I mean, it's not completely...
Which one?
Which one?
This one?
I mean, it's not that...
Oh, it's like half medical?
Yeah, half medical and half...
It's a joke one.
Oh, it's a joke.
I got it.
It's not bad, bad one.
Oh, I see.
Got it.
Okay, okay.
Alright, okay.
Okay.
So...
Okay.
Thank you.
Was there a Japanese pause there?
Like a Japanese grammatical error pause?
Yeah.
But...
Yeah, but actually...
That's okay, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mostly it's patterns, right?
I feel like it's mostly patterns.
Okay.
Yeah.
I can sort of hear an unknown word of mine,
and I could guess several different ways of speaking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I could guess several different ways of spelling it out.
Well, if the question is out of that several patterns,
which one is the right one?
Then my answer would be, I don't know.
And many of the Americans do not know.
You don't know.
And you have to choose which one.
Okay, you have to memorize it.
Yeah, you have to memorize it.
And then you have to...
But two or three patterns, yeah, I think you can get down to that.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
The way we learn it in America, it's just complete memorization.
Okay.
The teacher would say the word, and then we would write it.
03:01
Okay.
Okay, this is a spelling test, guys.
Everyone get a sheet.
Oh, you have a spelling test.
Yeah, we have a spelling test.
And the teacher would say, the first word is science.
And then you have to write it.
Second word is helicopter.
You have to write it.
Okay.
And then you turn it in, and there you go.
I see, I see.
How do you study that?
Do you do, like, kind of homeworks at your house?
Yeah, you study it.
You just, you look at it.
And then you memorize it, and then you just write it.
That's it.
I don't have any, I don't think anyone did any tricks or nothing like that.
Okay, okay.
But the Japanese do.
You know, they have, like, a goraawase.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, a widowness day.
Ah, true, true.
I've never heard any of my friends do that.
Yeah.
Yeah, in America.
Right.
Yeah.
I guess it's just like how we learned kanji.
We did that kanji dori-do.
Yeah.
You just, you know, just see it, and just write it, and just memorize it.
That's all, kind of.
That's it, right?
That's all.
Right.
But there are patterns.
There are patterns.
Okay, okay.
So you'd start to understand, right?
True.
Yeah.
For example, like, something-something-ist.
Yeah.
I-S-T.
Yeah.
I at the end, right?
Yeah.
Right.
Start from those things.
Yeah.
Give me, like, a random word.
Give me a random word.
Okay.
And let's see if I can guess the spelling of it.
Okay.
Like, some really difficult word that I probably don't know.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like, a-ken, i-kyu, a-daimyo.
Okay.
A-ken's so hard.
Yeah.
A-ken's really hard.
So here I have random word generator.
Okay.
Word type, oh, okay.
I don't even, forestry.
Forestry?
Yeah.
What's that?
Can you give me a definition of forestry?
Okay.
Do they have a definition up there, or no?
If they don't, I'm okay.
Okay.
Forestry?
Okay.
Forestry.
Forestry.
F-O-R-S-T-E-R-Y.
Can you say that again?
F-O-R-E-S-T, forestry.
Forestry.
Forestry.
I have to pronounce American, right?
Yeah.
Can you give me, like, an American accent?
Forestry.
Forestry.
Forestry.
Forestry.
Forestry?
Yeah.
Forestry.
Forestry.
F-O-R-S, F-O-R-E-S-T, F-O-R-E-S-T-R-Y.
That's correct.
Okay.
Yes.
So you can, like, sort of guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know this one, maybe, misery.
06:01
Ah, M, but that's a little difficult, right?
I think misery is one of the words that...
Okay.
Is it?
Yeah, it's, like, a little bit off.
M-I-S-E-R-Y.
M-I-S-E-R-Y.
Exactly.
Okay, okay.
Yes, yes, yes.
You can guess, then.
Yeah, because it's patterns, right?
Atmosphere.
Atmosphere, that's easy.
That's easy?
Yeah.
Okay.
A-T-M-O-S-P-H-E-R-E.
Yes.
Yeah.
Detail.
Detail?
Oh, that's easy.
That's easy?
D-E-T-I-L-E.
No, D-E-T-D-A-I-L.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let me try to find something difficult, then.
Yeah.
How about searching a spelling bee?
Okay.
Most difficult.
Okay.
D-I-F-F-I-C-A-L-E.
Okay.
I mean, okay.
I can't even pronounce them.
Is there a button?
Like a speaker button that pronounces it for you?
Okay, okay.
That's not that right.
No, but okay, I'm gonna...
Okay, hold on.
Sure.
What's this?
Eudemonic.
Huh.
Eudemonic.
Eudemonic.
Yeah.
Okay.
Eudemonic...
This is...
This is a good start.
Like euphoria.
Yes, yes, yes.
Euphoria is a good start.
Euphoria is a good start, right?
It's E-U, right?
It's E-U, right?
Eudemonic, right?
Yes.
E-U-D...
Is it A or E?
Can you say that again?
Eudemonic.
Eudemonic.
Eudemonic.
Is there a meaning written?
Yeah.
Can you tell me the meaning?
Based on the idea of happiness as the proper end of conduct.
Right.
Producing happiness.
Isn't it the same word as euphoria?
Isn't it E-U?
E-U-D...
Eudemonic.
Eud...
Eud...
Is it I?
E-U-D-I-M-O-N-I-C.
Eudemonic.
Yes, that's it.
That's incorrect.
That's incorrect.
That's incorrect.
What's the spelling?
09:00
It's E-U-D-A-E-M-O-N-I-C.
I see.
I see.
It's E-U-D-A-E-M-O-N-I-C.
I see.
Eudemonic.
What's after A-E?
M-O-N-I-C.
M-O-N-I-C.
Just like you said.
That was difficult.
But you can still kind of guess.
I can sort of guess, yeah.
I should have known.
These are the trickiest...
Trickiest spellings?
Yeah.
What is this?
What's that?
Atoxinous.
Can you give it to me again?
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
It sounds to me...
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
Yeah.
Atoxinous.
Atox...
Okay, can you...
Atoxinous.
Again?
Atoxinous.
Again?
Atoxinous.
That's difficult!
That's the highest level of spelling B.
I don't know if it's F or T.
I don't know if it's ATOX or TH.
Atoxinous.
Can you give me the definition?
Sure.
Atoxinous.
Um...
Okay.
Parenthesis.
Of an inhabitant of a place.
Parenthesis.
Indigenous rather than descended from migrants or colonists.
For example.
Is it like a foreign country?
For example, newly colonized island.
That's difficult.
That's too difficult for me to read.
Okay.
Newly colonized islands.
Okay.
Inhabited by auto...
Atoxinous.
People.
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous people.
Can you...
Okay, can you...
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
So, more like an easier explanation.
Indigenous, native.
Native?
Formed or originating in the place where found.
I see, I see.
For example, people tend to admire cultural forms that seems autoxinous sprung from their native soil.
Okay, my guess.
Okay.
A, U, T, O, C.
Atoxinous.
Yeah, I don't know.
P, H, Y, M, I, T, H.
Then how do you pronounce that?
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
Okay.
But that's not correct.
12:01
Okay.
Yeah.
What's the correct answer?
A, U, T, O, C, H, T, H, O, N, O, U, S.
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
Atoxinous.
There's an H in there?
Yeah.
Atoxinous.
Is that tricky?
I've never seen a word that has H right here.
Atoxinous.
Just like technique, no?
Like techniques.
It has like T, E, C, H.
I see.
Just like that.
I see, I see.
Yeah.
I think it's really rare one.
Wow.
Atoxinous.
So off.
Very off.
Yeah, but...
I think A, U was the only part.
Yeah.
Yeah, that I got right.
And C.
And C, okay.
Yeah.
Atoxinous.
Oh, so T, H, O is SO.
Atoxinous.
Yeah.
Oh, this is it.
Atoxinous.
I see.
That's hard.
Yeah.
But you can still guess.
Yeah, there's a way of guessing.
Even though I got it completely wrong.
Maybe if I had like 12 tries, maybe I would have got it right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
So there we go.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
