- #12分生徒 (とにお)1/2I'm Taishi, living in the Tokyo area. I work in construction industry. And I like English.2/2I also built my own app application by using AI. That's my hobby.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1I'm Taishi. I live in the Tokyo area and I work in construction. I'm into English, and I also build my own apps using AI -- that's my hobby.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1I'm Taishi, based around Tokyo. I'm in construction, but my real thing lately is English and building my own apps with AI. Sorry, I didn't prep anything -- I'll just wing it.
- #23分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2Cool. I'm Gum, from the South of England, just underneath London. But now I live in Eastern Europe -- Bulgaria.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2Famous in Japan for the yogurt.
- #34分生徒 (とにお)Wow. Why did you decide to move? You and your wife...NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Wow. What made you decide to move? You and your wife --ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Wow, Bulgaria of all places. What pulled you there -- was it your wife's call, or yours?
- #45分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2Many reasons, really. Cost of living is much cheaper, property prices are cheaper, the population's only 6. 7 million, and the weather's much better.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2And it's only a three-hour flight back to England.
- #58分生徒 (とにお)1/2I like driving too. Driving is part of my work, so I drive for work, but I also like it. I'm not good at driving, but I like it.2/2My car is just a minivan, not a fancy sports car. It's my working car, a Nissan Serena.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2I like driving too. It's actually part of my job, so I drive for work -- and I enjoy it, even though I'm not great at it. My car's just a minivan, nothing fancy.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2A Nissan Serena -- it's my work vehicle.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2Driving's half my job, honestly. I'm no great driver, but I like being behind the wheel. Nothing flashy though -- just a Nissan Serena minivan.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2That's my workhorse.
- #69分生徒 (とにお)No, I'm single, I live alone. I have the minivan for work -- I work in construction, so I have to carry stuff. I need the space.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1No, I'm single and I live alone. The minivan's purely for work -- in construction you're always hauling materials, so I need the space.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Nope, single, no kids. The van's not a family thing -- it's construction. I'm always carrying materials and tools, so I need the room.
- #710分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2Makes perfect sense. I come from a building background myself -- my father was a builder. I was in the building trade for years.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2When I came to Bulgaria I completely refurbished the house: rewired everything, bathroom, roof, concrete floors.
- #812分生徒 (とにお)1/2It's the same for me -- I work in interior finishing, wallpaper and so on. But I'm more on the management side. I hire the tradesmen and I watch them do the work.2/2I'm not a tradesman myself.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2Same world as you, then. I'm in interior finishing -- wallpaper, that kind of thing. But I'm more on the management side.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2I hire the tradesmen and oversee the job; I'm not a tradesman myself.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2Ha, small world. I'm in interior finishing -- wallpaper, flooring. But I don't swing the hammer myself; I'm on the management side.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2I bring in the tradesmen and keep an eye on the work.
- #913分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1The tradesmen, right. When I moved here I did building work for years -- I had a long-wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter with the cement mixer, wheelbarrows, all my tools. I'd just drive around to different jobs.
- #1014分生徒 (とにお)1/2So you're kind of a jack of all trades. You wear many hats. I always try to use new words.2/2And not 'master of none' -- master of everything, for you.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1So you're a real jack of all trades -- you wear a lot of hats. I always like to try out new expressions. And not 'jack of all trades, master of none' -- for you it's master of all.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1So you're the definition of a jack of all trades -- you wear every hat there is. I love throwing in new phrases when I can. Though in your case it's not 'master of none' -- sounds like you actually mastered the lot.
- #1115分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2Jack of all trades -- literally, yeah. That fits well. Funny thing, in Bulgaria they call an expert a 'maister' -- it means master of something.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2But most Bulgarians say they're a maister of something, so you can't believe them.
- #1217分生徒 (とにお)Stray -- is it like, people abuse them and throw them out the door? Not wild, just abandoned animals. The feral ones are more 'none of my business' -- they just live their own life.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Stray -- so people abuse them and just throw them out? Not wild, but abandoned. The feral ones are more 'leave me alone, none of your business' -- they just live their own way.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Stray meaning abandoned, right -- people dumping them out the door? Not wild. The feral ones have that 'none of your business, don't touch me' attitude; the strays still want people.
- #1318分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/2That's it. We rescue them. We've got 60 cats in an enclosure -- a catio.TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 2/2I've even got CCTV; here, that's them, it's live. My wife can check on them and talk to them through the camera when we're away.
- #1419分生徒 (とにお)1/260 cats! And 5 dogs. Lots of toys, and it's well built -- because you're a craftsman.2/2I can see they're happy. They're having a happy life.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Sixty cats -- and five dogs! Loads of toys, and it's really well built, because you're a craftsman. I can tell they're happy -- they've got a good life.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2Sixty cats and five dogs? That's a whole operation. And you can tell a craftsman built it -- the toys, the setup.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2Those animals are living better than most people.
- #1520分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1I actually broke a rib making that. I'd walked across an old concrete archway a hundred times, but it was weathered, and it just snapped in half. The fall was only two meters, but a slab of concrete hit me in the back.
- #1621分生徒 (とにお)Wow, unlucky. But it was worth it, right? For the cats, for the animals.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Ouch, bad luck. But it was worth it, right? For the cats, for the animals.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1A broken rib for a cat enclosure -- brutal. But worth it, right? For the animals, I'd say yeah.
- #1721分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1Absolutely. Happy wife, happy life. And for me -- I love cars, I love motor sport, I love F1.
- #1822分生徒 (とにお)I've heard that one, I love it. Oh, so you don't just watch F1 from the sidelines?NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1I've heard that one -- love it. Wait, so you don't just watch F1 from the sidelines?ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Happy wife, happy life -- classic, I love it. And hold on, you don't just watch F1? You actually raced?
- #1923分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1I used to race karts -- these are all championship trophies. You had to own your kart, maintain the engines, rebuild them. So, jack of all trades again, literally.
- #2024分生徒 (とにお)Amazing. So it makes sense that you drove all the way home. Wow, you're living an interesting life.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Amazing. So that's why driving all the way home is nothing to you. You're living a genuinely interesting life.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1That explains the cross-continent drives -- it's second nature to you. Honestly, you're living a pretty remarkable life.
- #2125分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1We drove from Bulgaria to Scotland -- 5,000 miles, 8,000 kilometers. England, Wales, Scotland and back. We've got four adult children spread across Scotland, England and Wales, all with families of their own.
- #2230分生徒 (とにお)1/2You sound really happy -- you're very extrovert, good at explaining things, and you enjoy your life. A teacher yesterday, English but living in South Africa, was laid back and easygoing, and really intelligent. Every time I talk with him I learn something interesting.2/2To each their own. I have five or ten good go-to teachers, all different, and I'm always trying to find new ones.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2You come across as really happy -- an extrovert, great at explaining things, someone who enjoys life. A teacher I had yesterday, English but living in South Africa, was laid back and easygoing, and really sharp. Every time we talk I pick up something new.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2To each their own, right? I've got five or ten go-to teachers, all different, and I'm always looking for new ones.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2You've got real extrovert energy -- you explain things well and you clearly love your life. That South-Africa-based teacher was the opposite: laid back, easygoing, but razor sharp. I walk away with something new every time.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2That's why I keep a rotation of go-to teachers and still hunt for new ones -- 'inquisitive,' as one of them taught me.
- #2333分生徒 (とにお)1/2I don't want this to be a one-off. I want to build a relationship with teachers, so we know each other's personalities. That's the effective way to learn -- otherwise you start from the introduction every time, from scratch.2/2With some trust, we can go straight into the topic.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2I don't want this to be a one-off. I want to build a relationship with teachers so we know each other's personalities -- that's the effective way to learn. Otherwise you start from the introduction every time, from scratch.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2With some trust, we can go straight into the topic.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2One-off lessons don't do much for me. I'd rather build a real relationship so we actually know each other. Otherwise every lesson resets to 'hi, what's your name' -- a total waste.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2Once there's trust, we skip all that and get straight into the real stuff.
- #2434分講師TEACHER講師の native 表現chunk 1/1You start from scratch, right? I did notice -- your previous lessons were all free talk, free talk, free talk. Then I looked at mine and it said Daily News.
- #2536分生徒 (とにお)1/2I started back in 2022, took a break for three or four years, and came back two or three months ago. In my 20s I was dead serious about becoming a good English speaker -- blood, sweat and tears. But I quit.2/2Now I'm just enjoying it, no agenda. I only talk with native speakers, so I can learn authentic English from different personalities.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/2I started back in 2022, took a three- or four-year break, and came back a couple of months ago. In my 20s I was dead serious about becoming a good speaker -- blood, sweat and tears. Then I quit.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 2/2Now I'm just here to enjoy it, no agenda. I only talk with native speakers, so I pick up authentic English from all kinds of personalities.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/2I first started in 2022, then dropped it for three or four years, and only came back a couple of months ago. Back in my 20s I was obsessed -- blood, sweat and tears, the whole thing. Then I burned out and quit.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 2/2This time there's no agenda; I'm just enjoying it. And I stick to native speakers so I get the real, authentic stuff from a bunch of different personalities.
- #2638分生徒 (とにお)I don't know -- British sounds really good, authentic, proper. You sound neutral, natural, not much dialect, like BBC English. When I was a college student I listened to BBC News every day, like a boring textbook.NATIVE俺の表現の修正chunk 1/1Hard to say -- British sounds really good to me, authentic and proper. You sound neutral and natural, not much of a dialect -- kind of like BBC English. Back in college I listened to BBC News every day, like a boring textbook.ENGAGED本物の会話の深さchunk 1/1Honestly hard to pick -- British just sounds proper and authentic to me. Yours is that neutral, natural sound, barely any dialect -- classic BBC English. I actually listened to BBC News every single day in college; dry as a textbook, but it stuck.
