『多読計画』断片

英語100万語多読の励みにしていた『多読計画』のサイトがなくなってしまったので、仕方なくはてなに来ました。地道に積み上げた読書記録で救えた記事はゼロ、下書きが7本残っているだけです。あー残念。これからまた少しずつ記事を増やすつもりです。・・・・といっても自分以外の人にとっては読む価値なしですが。

1 minute speech when I attended a pronunciation course at Waseda University Extension Center

Today I will tell you about my pronunciation trouble.
 
About 20 years ago, I went to London for the first time.
I got off the subway at Russell Square station and tried to find my hotel, but I couldn't.
 
So I asked a passing man.
“Where is the Royal National Hotel?”
 
Unfortunately, he didn't understand the name of the hotel I pronounced.
So, I changed the pronunciation, "Roiyal", "Rohyal", but he didn't understand.
 
It was getting dark.
And I suddenly realized that he had a tattoo on his arm and neck.
I was very scared.
 
However, he was tring to help me without leaving, so I gave up my pronunciation and showed him my Itinerary and guidebook.
we finally found the hotel location.
 
Since that day, I have never booked or stayed at a hotel named Royal.
 
<Added at presentation>
But since I learned pronunciation in this class, I will stay at a hotel with difficult pronunciation.
 
Thank you so much for listening.
