Today we’re talking about "Look after"

It sounds responsible, right? If you "look after" something, you’re taking care of it. You know, like when you "look after" a friend’s cat. But let’s be honest, you probably just fed it, gave it water, and then spent three hours watching Netflix

"Phrasal Verbs Gone Wild!"

Hi everyone, 

Have you ever lived in a share house before ? 

I have lived so many share houses in Canada and the U.S.  

I also experienced a lot of troubles with my roommates. 

 I hope you will enjoy today's episode.  Best, Kaichi 

皆様 

今日は、シェアハウスについて語っております。 今まで、いくつものシェアハウスに住んでました。

いろいろなトラブルを経験し、本当に色々な経験をしました。 そんなシェアハウスでのトラブル、実際私が払っていた賃料まで公開してます！ 

お時間があれば、是非聞いていってください。 

【ひとことフレーズ】

・大の大人が（だいのおとなが） →大人（おとな）なのにも関わらず　 

例）大の大人が、酔っぱらって、人を殴って、警察沙汰になった。
