Hey guys!
So as you hopefully know we recently went to Europe to make a video, kind of documentary, about Natsuki.
And it went well, it was good. [Natsuki] It's good. [Chris] It was a pretty good trip actually.
In the run-up to going, we, Natsuki has been taking English classes
with the hope that when he was there in Europe, he would speak lots of English.
Which he did, you did use a lot of English.
[Natsuki] I can use it. [Chris] Yeah. Everyday?
[Natsuki] Everyday~~ Everyday! 24 hours! [Chris] Everyday.
But in the run-up to going we had some English lessons that were generously funded
by italki, the online tutoring service and the lessons went pretty well, we showed you the first one in March.
[Natsuki] I was... [Tutor] I was gobsmacked.

[Chris] Yeah... it's kind of broken English. Yeah... [Natsuki] Word. Word. Word. Word.
And today we want to show you Natsuki's most recent and final lesson just before he went on the trip.

who's considering using an online tutor or taking classes learning another language
You can find the $10 vouchers in the description box below but for now. Let's see how you got on.
