well hello again everyone this is
is drew badger the co-founder of English
English anyone . com it's
it's been a while since I've produce
produce something new for YouTube
YouTube and I'm excited to come back
back and do that I've
I've been thinking for quite a while
while about producing a new kind of
of video series it's really not anything
anything innovative like creating
creating a new kind of lesson I
I really just want to speak with you
you in the same way that in native
native speaker would so speaking normally
normally with a regular native speed
speed and just talking about whatever
whatever
whatever so
so I'm going to start creating those
those and you're going to kind of
of help me design them and let me
me know if they're more helpful for
for you
for you so
so what I do for master English conversation
conversation is i'm talking with people
people at my regular native speed
speed and you can see some of these
these videos on the master English
English conversation playlist right
right here on youtube as well as if
if you're a member of the program
program but what I want to do is kind
kind of create something in the middle
middle where I'm talking to you at
at native speed so
so right now I'm still giving you
you my kind of teaching voice and
and trying to be a bit more clear
clear in a bit more easy to understand
understand for people but when i speaking
speaking native speed i'm still not
not really difficult to understand
understand but it's going to be a
a step up from what you're used to
to
to so
so that's what I'd like to do in this
this video series and i'll just be
be talking about whatever it might
might be English related or not so
so i thought for this episode of this
this first one I was just going to
to talk about some interesting things
things about Japan that maybe I haven't
haven't spoken about before maybe
maybe you're not familiar with so
so right now I'm going to kick in
in - I'm going to get into my native
native fast native speed and i'll
i'll still try to explain a few words
words as i go but i really want to
to give you the exposure since
since especially if you've been following
following me for a while you've
you've had a lot of practice listening
listening to my native voice but at
at a slower speed so
so now you'll get lots of practice
practice listening to that if you
you go back and watch all the videos
videos if you are new to my channel
channel i recommend you do not watch
watch this video i recommend you go
go back and watch some of the previous
previous videos I've made so that
that way you can train your listening
listening ability with my voice you'll
you'll be ready to understand it in
in native speed but
but for all of you who have been following
following my channel for a long time
time number one thank
thank you very much and then number
number two let's get into some faster
faster
faster english
english so let's begin well this is
is kind of an interesting thing i've
i've been thinking about doing it
it for a while and again you can try
try to listen to me i'm speaking a
a little bit faster but this is the
the way I speak and especially when
when i get excited I
I really start speaking more quickly
quickly and even though I try to be
be clear
be clear it
it still can be a little bit more
more difficult for people maybe some
some people to understand what I'm
I'm saying anyway
anyway I'm a little bit excited today
today because this is my first video
video that I'm making it a while so
so let me see some interesting things
things about Japan now
now this is just kind of one thing
thing i noticed I you know I'm trying
trying to be at home and because i
i work from home I want to be able
able to get my wife a little bit extra
extra help and so one of the things
things I'm trying to do more of is
is like doing some cleaning around
around the house so i'll be doing
doing maybe a little bit of like cleaning
cleaning the bathroom and actually
actually getting in there and scrubbing
scrubbing everything so getting in
in there
in there I
I really want to get into the bathroom
bathroom cleaning the shower and wiping
wiping the walls and that kind of
of thing but the most confusing thing
thing for me thus far has been doing
doing the laundry and now this is
is a little bit weird because the
the way kind of like the laundry culture
culture
culture things
things like that are a little bit
bit different because in japan in
in America for
for one thing most people don't use
use a dryer here in Japan so
so in America we often have a dryer
dryer and a washer maybe
maybe something that's a combination
combination of the two but in Japan
Japan most people hang a lot of their
their stuff out to dry so to hang
hang something out to drive but what's
what's been interesting for me is
is you know in addition to this not
not having a washer is a washer bag
bag
bag so
so excuse me we do have a washer but
but I don't have a dryer here we hang
hang all of our things outside so
so sometimes when the weather is you
you know not very good we get to keep
keep everything inside and it gets
gets kind of hot and humid and you
you know it gets you know kind of
of bad when we got the the rainy weather
weather but for today it's
it's actually a a
a nice day out but so this interesting
interesting thing here I've got some
some of them with me this
this is something that we don't have
have in America released i'm not familiar
familiar with and these are laundry
laundry bags i wanted to have a little
little bit of show entail so to show
show and to tell something so show
show and tell so
so I my wife has been teaching me
me about these and they're actually
actually pretty interesting you know
know you can separate different clothes
clothes and you put everything into
into one
into one you
you know laundry bag i guess they're
they're called laundry bags but they've
they've got different sized mesh so
so meshes that kind of a way of explaining
explaining our describing the tiny
tiny holes in something so like on
on a screen for a window you would
would have mesh for that so
so this is a kind of a mesh kind of
of thing it's like woven fabric but
but you're using this for a laundry
laundry bag now
now this seems like a pretty easy
easy thing and you would put clothes
clothes in here to make sure they
they don't get messed up so
so this is to become damaged to become
become messed up so
so you put them in there to not get
get the messed up when you're putting
putting them in the washing machine
machine but the thing that's confusing
confusing for me is that there are
are multiple bags and I'm trying to
to figure out what the different uses
uses of them are so this is one with
with the pretty small holes and then
then we also have one with larger
larger holes and so I put these up
up here you can take a look pretty
pretty interesting so these ones with
with the bigger holes these are for
for things like underwear and stuff
stuff I guess you really want to get
get more water in there and clean
clean everything up you know i do
do take a shower though so I'm pretty
pretty nice and clean as it is but
but you know i do work out and you
you know I get sweaty and you gotta
gotta get a wash things so
so a kind of finer match so we can
can talk about the size of the hole
hole via the finest or the thickness
thickness of it so
so the finest of this mesh over here
here this is a maybe just for regular
regular t-shirts that I would wear
wear
wear alright
alright so now like I'm gonna kind
kind of interrupt what I'm saying
saying now because maybe in the background
background you can hear people yelling
yelling outside on loudspeakers now
now this is kind of an interlude like
like a little bit just something weird
weird about Japan for me when it comes
comes to election time it's going
going to be actually talking about
about laundry and elections in the
the same video but hey you never know
know where this series will go but
but so people are driving around in
in little trucks and they're saying
saying thank you to everyone and vote
vote for me vote for me and this is
is from about eight in the morning
morning till eight in the evening
evening for maybe like two weeks something
something like that and it depends
depends on the various days so it's
it's hard for me to sit down and get
get nice silent recording so if you
you hear anything like that that's
that's what that is so anyway back
back to the laundry bags very quickly
quickly so we got these uh the thicker
thicker or the the bigger holes over
over here and then the more fine holes
holes over here so the smaller ones
ones
ones now
now we've also got something that's
that's a combination of the two and
and so my wife is trying to explain
explain to me what goes in one and
and why we put it in there and how
how exactly to do it so it's much
much more of like a fine art out here
here and it's actually interesting
interesting for me when my wife you
you know travel back with me to America
America and so she's bringing these
these laundry bags back to America
America and so when I was asking my
my mom knows hey can I can we do some
some laundry here and my wife pulls
pulls out all of these laundry bags
bags that she brings them back to
to America with us and my mom just
just looked at them and thinking what
what like what do you do with those
those because you know she's never
never seen them before and we don't
don't use anything like that America
America really about the only thing
thing we really do is we separate
separate you know maybe whites and
and colors or you know like cold wash
wash stuff and warm wash stuff I
I actually in like not very good at
at laundry and just kind of put everything
everything in there and hope maybe
maybe I don't like run stuff and you
you know actually my clothes is pretty
pretty uh I don't know it's pretty
pretty easy actually I don't really
really have to worry about changing
changing so much because basically
basically I we're like the same stuff
stuff all the time I'm
I'm very simple like that I don't
don't really want to think about fashion
fashion
fashion maybe
maybe i will in the future but for
for now it's not that big of a deal
deal
deal anyway
anyway I don't want to overload you
you with too much information but
but this is my native speaking voice
voice especially when i get excited
excited I want to talk about things
things quickly and i want to explain
explain a lot you
you see I can get into that you can
can listen to the blending of the
the sounds but if you enjoyed this
this video do let me know feel free
free to comment down below you can
can tell me about your laundry as
as well
as well and
and whether this video would be helpful
helpful for you or not now
now I maybe i'll think about adding
adding transcripts to these or maybe
maybe i won't don't know it kind of
of depends the
the nice thing about this new series
series of assuming you like it is
is that I can maybe product produced
produced them a lot more quickly so
so I'm you know thinking about trying
trying to make something again there
there won't be any subtitles at the
the bottom of the videos you'll just
just have to really focus on watching
watching me and listening and hopefully
hopefully i can maybe like have something
something a bit more interesting to
to show you or talk to you about and
and that way you can get more interested
interested in that so i will let the
the video course kind of belong to
to you and let you the viewers out
out there dictate when the next video
video comes out so number one if you
you like it and
and number two if this video gets
gets over 10,000 views which is really
really not that much by YouTube standards
standards or even by my channel standards
standards but the sooner we can get
get it to 10,000 views the
the sooner i will make a new version
version so if you like this and you
you like getting to listen to me speaking
speaking native speed and speak a
a little bit faster and really get
get to improve your pronunciation
pronunciation listening by kind of
of copying what I do as well as listening
listening
listening then
then let me know I hope this has been
been an enjoyable video for you and
and I look forward to making more
more into talking you I faster
faster way and really helped me build
build your listening and speaking
speaking confidence as well if you'd
you'd like to listen to more of me

really get that conversational fluency
fluency down i invite you to check
