Let’s get started with day Ten for the month of January.
Hi, everyone!
I’m Steve Soresi.
And I’m Jenny Skidmore.
Thanks for joining us.
Taiwa Karaoke Advanced!
Here’s the scene for today’s Taiwa Karaoke.
Ready, start!
OK, time’s up.
The condo manager arrived at the party and no one was there.
So, it was awkward, she made a joke.
★awkward 落ち着かない、どぎまぎした
Here we go!
Oh, hi!
You’re going to the party room, right?
You came just at the right time.
Where is the party room?
Well, follow me.
You must be one of the new residents.
I’m Alice, the condo manager.
Nice to meet you.
I’m Takeshi.
Oh, OK.
Welcome to our condo!
Thanks.
Have you ever lived in a condo before?
Yes, I’m pretty familiar with condo life, anything I should be aware of.
Well, what time do you usually go to bed?
Around ten or eleven, but it depends.
What do you usually do in the evenings?
My room faces the sunset, so I like to unwind on my balcony, sometimes have a drink.
That’s no problem.
Just don’t make too much noise at night.
We have quiet hours after ten p.m.
OK?
Quiet hours after ten p.m.
Got it.
I’ll be careful not to make noise.
And welcome to the newcomers’ party!
Huh?
Oh, look!
Everyone’s here for the party!
Maybe you can’t see them, the residents of this condo are mostly invisible.
They’re all ghosts!
Ghosts?
Are you serious?
I know you’re kidding.
Hi, I’m Jerry.
Oh, you finally came!
Come in!
Here’s another resident, Jerry lives two floors above you.
All the ghost story I just talked about was a joke!
Everyone who lives here is just always late.
You can see that, right?
Oh, everyone is just late.
Your ghost story surprised me.
You got me.
★You got me. 参った。
I got you. ←ここでの get は「だます、かつぐ、驚かす」の意味
So, what would you like to drink?
Do you have any ghost grape juice?
OK, did you understand our conversation?
Now, let’s have this conversation one more time.
This month’s theme is “Condo Life”.
Start!
OK, time’s up.
Well, how did you do?
Your conversation skills are getting better day by day, and week by week.
So, see you next time on Eikaiwa Time Trial.
Bye-bye!
