AISubs v3.5
This is my fourth time speaking English, but do you, Ms. Hilary, get comments like "your impressions of speaking English" at handshakes or something like that?
I get a lot of comments like that.
Like what? Like "your English speaks to you"?
It's not like that, but everyone says that my English program is really good and interesting.
Really.
What's your reputation like?
My reputation is really good.
I also have a pretty good reputation.
They say I'm lucky I'm not in the way of Nogizaka.
They say that.
They say I'm lucky I'm not in the way of Nogizaka.
Today's guest is...
Ms. Natsumura.
Hello.
How was it? Are you good at English?
I studied a lot of English, but I couldn't speak it at all.
I hope I can enjoy studying English.
I see. Can you calm down for a second?
Hello, everyone.
Today, members of Nogizaka 46 will be learning English in their daily lives.
- I'm nervous! - Yeah, I'm nervous, too!
- It's about to start. - It's going to be fun.
- Hello, everyone. - Hello.
- How are you today? - Okay.
- Hello.
- You've grown from "I'm fine" to "okay", haven't you? - Yes.
I just thought of asking you this.
We have a request for you, fans.
Can you shake hands with your members and talk to them in English?
- No. - No.
- They don't like it. - They don't like it.
- No, no.
You can communicate with people from different countries.
But even for you, Japanese fans,
in order to train your members of Nogizaka,
please shake hands with them and talk to them in English.
- Okay. - Okay.
In this show, you will only listen to the song that will be a challenge
and memorize it by ear copy and perform it in front of everyone.
Today, it's that song.
Now, what song is it?
"Country Roads".
I think everyone has heard of it before.
The reason is...
There's a Jibriyeh movie called "Listen Carefully".
- Yes, there is. - Yes.
It's used as an introduction song in that movie.
Country roads
If you go this road
all the way
to that city
Go, TJ!
"Country roads" is also covered in the anime,
but today's song is the original song by John Denver.
"Take me home, country roads".
How is everyone's performance?
How was it? Was today's song a little easy?
Oh, you said "easy" just now.
- It's rare for you to say it yourself. - It's rare for you to say it yourself.
- "Easy" means... - I don't like it.
Let's move on to number one.
- Okay. - Okay.
- The hurdle is rising. - Okay, let's move on to number one.
So, first up is Miss Kitano. Here we go!
Country roads
Take me home
to the place
that we know
Oh, I forgot.
Mountain mama
take me home
I'm bingo
- What did you say, Saru? - Wait a minute. "I'm bingo"?
- "I'm bingo"? - She said "I'm bingo".
I was wondering why she was introducing herself at the end of the song.
She thought her name was "I'm bingo".
But there is also "mountain mama", so I thought it was fine.
Next up is Miss Maya. Here we go!
- "Wish Jinja" - "Wish Jinja"?
Tell me how
Ah, ah, kind of okay.
Wait, wait, wait.
- "Antodo" is what? - The first "Antodo"
That's what I'm asking. "Ando" is what?
What kind of song do you think it is?
- "Anyway, what do you think?"? "So-and-so." - It's Japanese!
- "So-so" - "So-so."
So-so.
- "Jinja" is what? - "Jinja" is what?
It sounds like "Jinja", but if you say it in English like "Jinja"
I thought it would sound like English.
It's written "Jinja" in kanji.
- It's written in kanji! - "Jinja" in kanji!
- Show me! - It's written in kanji!
It's an English song, and you're saying it's written in kanji!
- That "Jinja" is "Bird's ear" - "Bird's ear" is that "Jinja"
It's getting more and more accurate.
- It gets more and more correct each time. - It's getting more and more accurate.
- Sensei, it's really getting more and more accurate! - Sensei!
It's written "Jinja" in kanji!
"West Ginger" "West Ginger"
"Lard so-so" "Lard so-so"
"Country Road" "Country Road"
It's about the middle of the program.
I heard about you, mom, who ate so much meat oil and said "So much meat oil"
Lard ok
- "Lard so-so" that means fat mom?
- "Oeasy mom"! oops! - But ginger appeared first...
- Ginger did appear. - Ginger did appear, and oil appeared.
This means "waist waist"
The one with oil on it.
Oh, I see.
The one with oil on it.
I belong west barja
It was almost perfect.
Oh, you did it!
Only the pronounciation part that everyone makes mistakes.
No one knows it unless you know it.
Pronounce the pronounciation part.
I heard you say "bar-chan"
I belong west barja
See? "Bar-chan"
"Bar-ja", "bar-ja", "bar-ja"
That's really close. That's the only part.
Today, you got 95 points.
Wow!
Last up is Ms. Matsumura. Here we go!
Ju-zu-de
I belong
West jinja
Make mama
Take me home
Cantina
Wow!
I've never heard of it.
Wow!
Didn't you say "ju-zu" in the middle?
"Ju-zu-de"?
Didn't you say it?
Ju-zu-de
"Ju-zu-de" came out of nowhere.
But "show" came up again.
Ashoka-jinja.
Yes, Ashoka-jinja.
It's definitely there.
And it's unavoidable, because it's a place name.
You can't hear it if you don't know it.
It's also a pretty maniac place name.
Oh, really?
Well, in Japan, it's "Tottori Prefecture".
He's going to get mad!
If Tottori people saw this, they'd get mad!
So it's a good place in that sense.
Let's look at the lyrics.
Country roads, take me home
What does it mean?
You know what it means, right?
What does "country roads" mean?
"Ki", "ki", "country".
"Country" means "country", but "inaka" means "country".
So it's "inaka michi".
Ms. Nojo, what did you say?
Ki
No!
Why?
"Ki" means "country".
"Country house", "country house".
"Country house"?
Oh, like "country" furniture.
Yes, "country".
"Ki" means "tree", "tree".
"Tree"?
"Country house" is a house made of country-style "ki", right?
Oh, I see.
Not concrete, right?
So, "take me home" is...
"Take me home" is...
"Ie ni kaeru"?
Oh, "ie ni kaeru".
Well, it's close, but "take" means "tsureteiku", which means "take me home".
"Inaka michi" means "take me home", and "home" means "kokyo" and "ie" means "house", right?
To the place I belong
Well, I'll explain this later as a point, but it means "where I was born and raised".
This word "belong" is very useful.
And this!
Of course you can't hear it.
"West Virginia".
"West Virginia ginger", right?
Ginger.
This is really "country".
In fact, the population is wide, and "west virginia" means "country".
So, "virginia" and "virginia" are not "ginger", but "west virginia".
So, as you can see in the lyrics of "take me home (country roads)", "mountain mama" means "motherly mountains".
That's it.
Well, this time, the word that will be a point is...
"take".
What does "take" mean?
"Motsu" (to hold)
Ah, "motsu" (to hold)
"take" means...
"motsu" (to hold)
Why do you say "motsu" (to hold)
So, "motsu" also has a meaning.
So, "take" has many meanings.
"Toriagetari" (to pick up)
"mottari" (to hold)
And...
"take me home" (take me home)
"watashi wo tsurete itte" (take me away)
Something like this.
"hippattari" (to pull)
"tottari" (to pick up)
"hippattari" (to pull)
"tsurete ittari" (take me away)
When you do something like that, you use "take".
So, you can use "take" for many things.
So, today we want to memorize "take".
First of all, "take me to...".
We use this expression a lot.
What does this mean?
For example, if you say "take me to Tokyo"...
"Tokyo".
Yes, it's easy, isn't it?
"Take me to _______," right?
Now, let's practice!
It's a very useful phrase when you want to tell people where you want to go on a trip abroad.
Take me to _______.
So, for those of you who have come to New York for sightseeing,
please tell Miss Hirata, the tour guide, where you want to go!
So, this is New York, right?
Now, in New York city, where do you want me to take you?
Well, let's get started!
First of all...
- Okay, Miss Wada? - Hi!
- Okay, please come up! - Hello!
And you are a tourist!
So, first up is Miss Maya! Here we go!
- Hello! - Hello!
Take me to...
Kinkaku-ji!
It's somewhere in New York!
Is there a Kinkaku-ji in New York?
- Oh, I see! - Yeah!
But you didn't listen to me!
I explained it in Japanese!
Okay, you are in New York, okay?
- Okay! - That's New York!
- Hi! - Hi!
Take me...
to...
Eiffel Tower?
- You're from New York! - I'm from New York!
Where do you think Eiffel Tower is?
Overseas!
- Wow! - Wow!
I say this is New York!
- Okay, you are in New York! - New York!
- Okay! - New York is United States!
- Okay! - Okay!
- Hi! - Hi!
Take me to...
- Flower shop! - To the flower shop? - Yeah! - To the flower shop? - Where? - In New York. - What kind of flowers are you buying in a bus?
- Why did you write "flower shop" instead of "Enfierto Kinkakuchi"? You said "tourist attraction" instead of "flower shop"
- What is there in New York? - What is there in New York? - New York... - Since we are in New York, let's go to a flower shop that you can go in Japan. - It's not a flower shop, is it?
- It's New York-like. - Can I try again? - What did you think of when you thought of New York? - It's a famous... - Can you do it? - Can you do it? - OK!
- Take me to... New York cheesecake! - Wait! It's not what I expected! - Cheesecake is not a place. - Oh, I see! - Take me to cheesecake!
- If you say "take me to cheesecake"... - Where is this cheesecake? - The guide will be in trouble.
If you say "take me to the best cheesecake bakery in New York", OK! You may be able to eat delicious cheesecake with this!
Next up, Ms. Kawago, here we go!
- Hi! - Hi!
Take me to...
fish and animal house!
What? What?
There is no...
- No? - There is no house like that.
Take me...
to...
take me to...
sea!
The ocean? The sea?
What's in the sea?
What's there in the sea?
- On the sea? - In the ocean.
- In the sea. - Ah, ocean!
- In the sea. What? - What?
- Ocean. - Ah, hmm...
Ah, OK! OK! OK!
Free... free megami.
Free...
Free... free woman...
in the sea.
Free woman...
- Right, good! Good! Good! - OK?
But you didn't get it at all, did you?
Ah, but it was close! You got to a good part, but...
you said "freedom goddess", didn't you?
"Freedom goddess" is really good.
Do you know what "freedom goddess" is?
Free god.
Free god!
But it doesn't make sense.
The answer is...
The Statue of Liberty.
Hiraki-san doesn't like slow things.
The Statue...
The Statue of Liberty.
Of Liberty.
Liberty.
I have no idea.
"Statue" is "dozo", "liberty" is "jiyu".
Statue of Liberty.
It's difficult to explain.
If you say "New York", it's "Statue of Liberty", right?
But you wanted to go to a zoo, didn't you?
I wanted to go to a zoo.
You wanted to go to a zoo or a aquarium, didn't you?
I wanted to go to an aquarium.
But in the end you chose "freedom goddess".
While you were saying "freedom goddess", you started doing "freedom goddess" poses.
"Freedom goddess" is above the sea, right?
Yes, it's above the sea.
I thought that was enough.
"Miss Kawago", "freedom goddess" is gold.
"Zoo" is "zoo", "aquarium" is "aquarium".
If you say where you want to go after "take me to", the guide will take you there.
If you say "please", it's more polite.
One more thing you need to remember is "take" is used when you want to buy something or choose something.
You don't use it for anything.
If you remember "take", it's very useful when you go shopping.
When you go shopping, you say "I will take this".
Please say "I will take this".
I will take this.
Now, let's practice using "I will take this" phrase which is always useful when you go shopping abroad.
Please get items you want from Ms. Hirata who is an aggressive American shop assistant who recommends various things.
OK, first up is Ms. Matsumura.
Now, please go and get a T-shirt.
Umm...
No, but I like... I like this one better.
Ah! So cute!
What's this?
No, no, no, no!
I want...
T-shirt, T-shirt.
- T-shirt? - No, no necklace.
Oh, I like... I like this one.
- No. - This one looks... This one looks really good on you!
- No, I only T-shirt. - Only T-shirt?
- I want only T-shirt. - Only T-shirt.
Oh! Yes, yes, yes!
- This one? - This one!
- I... I'll take this. - Okay!
- Yay! - Yay!
She did it!
When you say "no", it's important to say "no, thanks" or say "no" clearly.
Teacher, is it correct to say "I want T-shirt" at the very beginning?
At times like this, you grab it like this.
You've never learned "look for" at school, right?
You say "look for"...
I want to see it! I'm looking for it!
It's a little different.
- "I'm looking for"... - You're looking for it!
- That's right, that's right! - That's amazing!
- Yay! - Yay!
I'm looking for T-shirts.
When you say it like that, it means you're looking for a T-shirt.
The teacher will know that you're looking for a T-shirt.
When you say it, you should say "I'm looking for T-shirts" or "I'm looking for necklaces" clearly.
I see.
This is also useful for shopping.
When you say what you want, you say "I'm looking for ____."
Let's memorize it in the meantime!
Okay, next up is Miss Nojo.
Please buy cosmetics!
Hi!
I'm looking for make-goods.
- Make-goods? - Make-goods.
- Oh, only this. - This?
- This one. - No, there's more. There's these two.
- Oh, cute! - Which?
- Pink... - No.
No pink. You don't look good in pink.
- Black. - Why?
- Black? - Yeah, black.
No money.
- No money, no thank you. - No money?
Bye, no money.
You're lying!
Make-goods.
- This, like... - But you have...
Please! Me!
This, please! Me!
But you have no money.
- Joke! - Okay, cut!
- The bad thing about this is that it doesn't say "no money". - Weird!
- In that case... - I don't know.
It doesn't say "no money".
What does "expensive" mean?
- Expensive. - Expensive!
And if you put this on top of this...
- Too... - Too expensive.
- What does "too" mean? - Too...
- No, no, "mo". - "Mo", "mo" and...
- And "too expensive". - "Too expensive".
So, if you say "too expensive"...
It's a little too expensive.
If you say "this is too expensive"...
The clerk will know that you have to go for something cheaper because it's too expensive.
If you go for something you don't need...
Let's say "too expensive" and say "no".
By the way, make-goods are called "make-up" and "cosmetics".
Looking for a skirt?
- Hello! - Hello!
- May I help you? - Thank you!
- What? - Thank you!
- I'm looking for a skirt. - A skirt?
- A skirt. - This one?
- Oh! But it's a little short.
- No, how about this one? - Pants?
- No, no, no. I'm looking for this. - How about this necklace?
- Yes! But... - It looks really good!
- But this is too... - It's so cute! It looks like pretty expensive!
- Oh, it's too expensive? - Oh, she pulled it right away!
- Hey, don't pull it! - Oh, skirt?
- Skirt? - Yes!
- Yes? - This is...
- "This is"... - I'll take this cut!
- Okay! - Wow!
- That was awesome, Ms. Kitano!
So, when you want to recommend something to a clerk,
let's say "I'll take this"!
You can definitely use this phrase when you go shopping abroad!
By the way, "take" means "ride" in Japanese.
"I'd like to do something" is "I'd like to" in Japanese.
And "take a ____" is "I'd like to take a ____" in English.
In New York, the most famous ride is...
- The subway! - I see!
What does "I'd like to take a chikatetsu" mean?
The teacher gives a hint to the members who don't know the word "subway" which means "chikatetsu".
- Are you serious? - "Hot dog"?
- That's a big hint! - "Hot dog"?
- "Mustard"? - Say it! Say it!
"I'd like to take a mustard"!
- The name of the shop? - "Wendy's"?
- No! - "Mcdonald's", "kfc", "mossbarger"...
- Yes! "I'd like to take a... Kentucky"? - What did you think of?
- Did you think of "Kentucky"? - Yes!
- What was the big hint? - "Green".
- "Green"? - No!
- But you know the answer! - "Green"?
- I know! I know! - Say it! Say it!
- "Basil"! - No!
- The name of the shop? - "Hot dog"?
- "Subway"! - Yes!
- What is it? - It took you a long time to come to Montana!
- "Subway" - "Bus" - "Taxi" - "Taxicab" - "Taxicab"
- This is also a must phrase when traveling abroad!
- "I'd like to take a subway" is "I'd like to take a subway"
- "I'd like to take a bus" is "I'd like to take a bus"
Next is a very cool line.
Here.
To the place I belong
This word "belong"
First of all, what does this "belong" mean?
For example...
I belong to the tennis club
Are you learning tennis with a long girl?
Like that?
"Belong" is "long"
"Long" is "long" and you divided it.
You divided one word.
This means "I belong to the tennis club"
In other words, I am a member of the tennis club.
But actually, even lovers use this expression.
There is a common expression in lyrics of songs.
I belong to you
What does it mean?
In other words...
"I belong to you"?
It's close, isn't it?
"I belong to you"?
That's right.
I belong to you
I belong only to you
I devote everything only to you
That's what it means.
You can also say...
You belong to me
I belong to you
You belong to me
You belong only to me
That's not a common expression, is it?
Now it's time for "practice time"!
Let's think about a romantic one-scene suitable for "I belong to you".
Be the main character of the scene and say "I belong to you".
First up is Miss Maya. Here we go!
Well...
Let's relax at home together.
Oh, relax at home.
What do you do at home?
I sit and...
Watch TV?
Yes, I watch TV.
While watching TV, Miss Maya came up with this scene.
Why did you choose me, Maya?
I don't know.
I see.
I belong to you.
You belong to me.
Next up is Miss Kikano. Here we go!
Well...
At a handshake party...
I saw my fan going to another lane and...
What's with that? Why are you suddenly talking about that?
At a handshake party...
It's not like you're her boyfriend or anything like that!
And when she comes back...
Why did you go to another lane?
At a handshake party...
Miss Kikano wants to say "I belong to you" in this scene.
Hey, I saw you standing next to the farmer earlier.
Well...
I belong to you.
You belong to me.
Make sure you come back again.
Was there anyone who actually went to the farmer?
Of course there is!
Really?
She's a little happy, isn't she?
Well then...
What did Miss Kikano come up with?
Why did her boyfriend ask her out and...
Miss farmer!
I...
I belong...
I belong... to you.
Wow, that was wonderful.
What was that "umane" you said?
I wonder if you said it a lot or not.
Well, I thought I had to be a good woman.
Oh, I see. You were looking down at me.
Well, it's embarrassing.
I was embarrassed, too.
It was a romantic situation.
Let's decide "love is here" with "I belong to you".
It's one word, but it has many meanings.
The keyword of the day is "take".
If you remember the phrase you learned in this lesson,
you can definitely use it for traveling or shopping.
Finally, let's sing "take me home" and "country roads" again.
Take me home, country roads
