This is the Anyone Can Learn English podcast, episode #47

My name is Spencer and I’m an English conversation teacher. 

For English Conversation lessons, you can find me on Italki.com/spenceramansick 

This podcast is a weekly collection of my student questions and answers or (Q&A). Some Q&A may repeat. 

Today, we are covering 5 topics:

• Keep in touch/ keep in contact
• Bumping into
• Bark & bark
• Urgent & emergency 
• Stocktaking & taking stock  

- - REVIEW - -

It is easy to KEEP IN TOUCH with my friend, when I always BUMP INTO them walking their dog who loves URGENTLY BARKING at me every weekend.

My job is a stock investor and my hobby is hiking.  Last weekend after my last STOCK TAKING of the day, I ended up in the EMERGENCY room after a tree fell on my leg. I told the doctor the tree BARK scratched my skin, but the x-ray showed a broken bone. The doctor insisted to KEEP IN CONTACT if I experience new pain and to stay in the hospital for URGENT care.

Thank you for your time!

Please contact me for a copy of today’s script or video.

意味は、しめす、おしえる、などがあります。

例えば、
