バイリンガール英会話【#034】FastとFirstの発音／Pronouncing 'first' and 'fast'

I'm getting ready for the relocation of my salon and have book preparing necessary documents.


I received an email from my real estate agent asking for a ファースト copy of my passport.


I hadn't heard the term and didn't know whether it meant fast or first.


The Japanese pronunciation of the English words fast and first are very similar.


At first I thought it was "fast".


like a black and white, quick copy of something.


it turns out that it was "first copy" as in a copy of the original, and not a copy of a copy.


Japanese pronunciation often leads to confusion of the original word.


So today, I would like to teach the correct pronunciation of the two words "fast" and "first"



Fast 早い

発音の仕方は口を横に開く　/　open your mouth horizontally


First 一番

口を真ん中にまとめる　/　keep your mouth to the center






"Fast" because it has no "r" should be easy for Japanese people to pronunciate.


"First" on the other hand is much more difficult.


But by knowing your correct pronunciation, you will be able to tell the difference when listening.
