POSTAL CLERK: What can I do for you today?
CAROL: I need to mail this package to New York, please.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, let’s see how much it weighs … it’s about 
five pounds. If you send it express, it will get there 
tomorrow. Or you can send it priority and it will get 
there by Saturday.
CAROL: Saturday is fine. How much will that be?
POSTAL CLERK: $11.35 [eleven thirty-five]. Do you need anything else?
CAROL: Oh, yeah! I almost forgot. I need a book of stamps, too.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, your total comes to $20.35
[twenty dollars and thirty-five cents].


LANGUAGE NOTES
• What can I do for you today? Notice that this question starts with “What,” so the 
intonation drops at the end of the question.
• Or you can send it priority … Notice the stress on “or,” which emphasizes that there is 
another possibility.
• $11.35 ... $20.35 Notice the two different ways the postal clerk says the price. First he 
says eleven thirty-five (without the words dollars and cents), then he says twenty dollars 
and thirty-five cents.
• Oh, yeah! is an expression used here to mean “I just remembered something.” It’s often 
followed by “I almost forgot.”
• Your total comes to … is a way of saying “the cost is ….”

Talking about Swedish Autumn in Slow Japanese.

Thank you for listening!

Super Casual Japanese with Teppei

S2 Slow Japanese #2 Swedish Autumn

I was sick so I took the opportunity to focus on casual vocabulary we use in English when we're not feeling well.

It's a shorter episode because it was only me, but in describing my illness, I focus on more vocabulary than usual:

under the weather
come down with (something)
a bug going around
burning the candle at both ends
be out of sorts
blow your nose
be stuffed up
run a fever
pull through
be on the mend

020 - Sick and Tired

Was machst du beruflich? Diese Frage kennst du vielleicht schon von einer Prüfung oder aus dem Alltagsleben. Aber kennst du auch den Unterschied zwischen Beruf und Berufung? 
In meinem Podcast klären wir, was der Unterschied zwischen diesen beiden Begriffen ist und wie wir unserer Berufung folgen können, um glücklich zu werden. 

Deutsch mit Sonia

Beruf und Berufung - die Arbeit, die zu mir passt

Today I look at the phrasal verb "to snap up". Winston Churchill's False Teeth sell for £18,000 and I look at the song lyrics "They Don't Know" by Tracey Ullman.
