Moeno, what were you able to catch?
They say winter vacation is soon. (Yeah.) And Jake is going to draw all through the break.
He’s going to draw all through (/0ru:/) the break. Right. Good.
And Mei has her dog, and she loves her dog.
Yes. That’s very good.
When Jake mentions winter vacation, Mei says, “It’s just around the corner.”
Right. In last week’s dialogue, Mei said that when she was a child, her best friend Yui lived around the corner.
“Around the corner” means “very close by,” “not far away.”
Yes. And you can use “around the corner” not only for places but also for times or events that are close by.
If winter vacation is just around the corner, it means that the vacation is coming soon.
Right. Okay. We’ll find out more about the things Mei and Jake say on Day 2 and Day 3.
-New Words, New Phrases
Today’s first phrase is: I’m stoked!
“I’m stoked!” means “I’m very happy!” or “I’m very excited!”
Right. In the dialogue, when Jake tells Mei about his new comic book project, he says, “I’m stoked!”
Yeah. He means, “I’m really excited about it.”
This is a casual expression that you can use with your friends, but you shouldn’t use it with your teachers.
Right. Our second new phrase today is: kick back.
Moeno, when you hear the expression “kick back,” what do you imagine?
I imagine stretching legs, so “relax”?
Yes. You have the right image. That’s great. “To kick back” means “to relax or take it easy.” You can imagine someone lying back and stretching out to get comfortable.
In the dialogue, Mei says that she’s not planning to work at all during the vacation. She says, “I’m going to kick back and chill.”
