[Chris] So Natsuki, how was your trip to Europe?

[Natsuki] Amazing! Super adventure. [Chris] Super adventure.

[Natsuki] Super adventure. [Chris] Super adventure.

So as you hopefully know we recently went to Europe to make a video, kind of documentary, about Natsuki.

And it went well, it was good. [Natsuki] It's good. [Chris] It was a pretty good trip actually.

In the run-up to going, we, Natsuki has been taking English classes

with the hope that when he was there in Europe, he would speak lots of English.

Which he did, you did use a lot of English.

[Natsuki] I can use it. [Chris] Yeah. Everyday?

[Natsuki] Everyday~~ Everyday! 24 hours! [Chris] Everyday.

But in the run-up to going we had some English lessons that were generously funded

by italki, the online tutoring service and the lessons went pretty well, we showed you the first one in March.

[Natsuki] I was... [Tutor] I was gobsmacked.

[Chris] He'd spoke English very... He did a good job. [Natsuki] Yeah, it's broken. [Chris] It's... *laughs*

[Chris] Yeah... it's kind of broken English. Yeah... [Natsuki] Word. Word. Word. Word.

And today we want to show you Natsuki's most recent and final lesson just before he went on the trip.

I mentioned that Natsuki's lessons were generously funded by italki. They've also given vouchers to anyone watching this video

who's considering using an online tutor or taking classes learning another language

You can find the $10 vouchers in the description box below but for now. Let's see how you got on.

[Natsuki] I became animal ?. [Chris] You became animal. [Natsuki] Yeah. *laughs*

[Natsuki] No, ze bu ra. [Chris] You said that so casually.

[Natsuki] Hello Charlie. Good to see you. Yeah! [Tutor] Hey Natsuki. How's it going? Good to see you too.

What are you looking forward to doing when you go to London?

[Natsuki] Shopping [Tutor] Shopping? [Natsuki] Shopping~

I think it would be good to do a role play

So I will be the shop assistant and you are going into the shop, and you're trying to find your item.

[Natsuki] Hello~ [Tutor] Can I help you sir?

[Tutor] *laughs* uh "L-Lego"? [Natsuki] Lecord.

[Natsuki] And vintage lecord. [Tutor] ... okay!

[Tutor] So... what, what, like a British Soldier? Like the red and black hat? British Soldier Lego...?

[Natsuki] Ah, chigau (oh, no differently)

[Tutor] I understand Lego. Yeah... [Natsuki] Lecord.

[Natsuki] No Lego! No Lego! Lecord! Lecord! Lecord. [Tutor] Ohhhhhhhh!

[Tutor] Ok. Ok. So that's the same, the same sound. [Natsuki] Lecord.

[Tutor] Natsuki, we're going to start by doing some warm-up fillers, okay?

[Natsuki] Yeah, warm-up. [Tutor] And this warm-up is called a "Tongue Twister".

[Tutor] So I will read the first one. First. Then you next. Okay? [Natsuki] First...? Yeah, okay.

[Tutor] Some words were slightly different.

[Tutor] Brilliant! Really good. [Natsuki] (proudly) Really good. Ni~ce!

[Tutor] Pronunciation is good. It's just that, it's just that sound.

[Natsuki] Rah - Rah - Rah. Rah - R/Lah - Lah.

[Tutor] We're now going to do another Role-Play. But, it's a bit different, a bit strange.

[Tutor] So I'm going to be a lion. Okay. [Natsuki] Yeah.

[Tutor] And I want to eat you... because... that's what lions do.

[Natsuki] Are you hungry? [Tutor] I'm very hungry.

[Tutor] And you, you need to persuade me... NOT to eat you.

[Tutor] You need to communicate to the lion, saying "Don't eat me."

[Tutor] So I'm coming up to you and "Oh! You look tasty! I'm gonna eat you!"

[Tutor] No? [Natsuki] No. Wait. Wait, wait wait.

[Tutor] And... Did you just say "I'm a horse?" [Natsuki] *laughing uncontrollably*

[Natsuki] Horse. I'm horse. Because I'm horse.

[Tutor] Uuum... yeah well. [Natsuki] A horse.

[Tutor] A zebra. A horse. I'm hungry, you've got meat. You've got muscles. I'm gonna eat you.
