[3.Moderato] Implying a sense of gratitude for receiving actions

“Maybe he/she will (kindly) take me to the moon!?”

Hello, how are you doing? When someone do something for you, we, Japanese, prefer to add the nuance of gratitude by saying “~てくれます”(kindly do … for me).

First, listen to a sentence at normal speed. Then, I speak a bit slowly, so you start speaking as soon as you hear it (or with a bit of delay if you’re confident), like a shadow.

When Iida-kacho (section chief) went on a business trip, he always buys souvenirs (for us). Also, he is good at computers, so he will fix it immediately when my or our colleague’s computers breaks down. When I have a trouble at work, he kindly gives me advice. Today, I forgot to bring my wallet. Iida-kacho kindly let me 5,000 yen. I thought he might tell me, “you don’t have to give (the money) back.”, but that didn’t happen. Of course… (= what do you expect?) Tomorrow, I will give (the money) back. 

• konpyu-ta- ni tsuyoi = good at computer
• soudan ni noru = give advice 
• touzen = of course, no surprises, obviously
