Hi everybody! In every class at ☆IO English World☆ we always do listening practice. So sometimes students say, “I can`t hear,” or “I couldn`t hear.” I know that they want to say 「聞き取れない」 but in English 「聞き取る」 is not “hear” but “catch!”
聞き取るというのは”hear”ではなく、”catch”っていうんですね。
So, here is a very useful phrase for students of English:
I can`t catch it. (聞き取れない。)
で、過去形にしたら・・・
I couldn`t catch it.
で、「何を言っているか分かりません」って言いたい時は・・・
I can`t catch what you are saying.
と言います。
And that`s all for today!
