※"Shi" means a priest or monk at temples and "wasu" stands for "running" in Kanji character. Usually, they sit back and move slowly, but in December, at the end of the year, there are so many Buddhist events, so even priests or monks have to run around. That's why we call December «師走».

Episode 19：今年やり残したこと

In this episode, we explore the most common vowel sound in British English, the schwa, with a focus on how the letter E behaves in unstressed syllables. You’ll learn why the schwa isn’t a real vowel but a weak transition sound, how word stress controls pronunciation, and why native speakers often seem to skip vowels altogether. We cover reliable patterns at the ends of words such as er, en, and el, tricky unstressed E in the middle of words, and why initial E can shift between /ɪ/ and /ə/. If you want your pronunciation to sound more natural, fluent, and rhythmical, this lesson will change how you hear English.
