速く救急車を呼んでください。ボーリングの玉にあしがはまってしまいました。
hayaku kyuukyuusha wo yonde kudasai. booringu no tama ni ashi ga hamatte shimaimashita.
*The reason why languages like Japanese and Spanish sound staccato is because every syllable is evenly timed. When you see vowels repeated as in “kyuukyuusha”, it means that the syllables take two beats. You might be able to notice how it sounds as if Tony says the word a bit slower. The same goes with “booringu;” it’s not “oo” as in “boot,” but rather an “o” as in “bowl” that is elongated.

Rich I’ve been meaning to ask you this, but what music do you use at the beginning of these audios? It sounds really good.

Otofuke. There’s an album available in the Japanese iTunes store but last time I checked it’s not available in the US store.
