On this episode, Mina talks about her relationship with her neighbors in Japan versus her relationship with her neighbors back home in the Philippines. She realizes that neighbors in Japan are not really very cozy and warm with each other. Japanese neighbors only greet each other hello but they don't really have a very deep relationship. This is quite new to her because in the Philippines, neighbors are very friendly to each other. Let us know in class what you think of the topic. Tell Teacher Mina what your relationship is like with your neighbors. https://exl-english.com/wp/

The teachers start off by telling the listeners that they are an artist and a singer. Well, it's not entirely true. Teacher Mina used to be very creative and artistic. She liked drawing and painting as a student. And as for Teacher Marilou, she used to be a member of her community's church and she would go there every Sunday to sing in a choir. The teachers then use this a stepping stone for today's grammar point which is "would" used to talk about past habits. They pick out points in their life and discuss them using "would." You may also use "would" and "used to" interchangeably in most cases. Please check out our homepage for a free trial lesson: exl-english.com or look for us on YouTube.

As always, the teachers let their listeners know a little about themselves. Teacher Mina talks about her love for fall fashion and Teacher Marilou's love for SM, the most famous shopping mall chain in the Philippines. For this episode, Teacher Mina wants to let her students shy away from using "three members (３メンバー) (三人で)," "four members (４メンバー)," "four people (４メンバー)." But instead, use "the three of us," "the four of us," or "the four of them." Teacher Marilou takes over the pronunciation practice where she highlights pronouncing "and I" /endai/ and "of us" /uvus/.
