At a Counter
The other day, I went to McDonald's and the person at the counter said something really quickly. She said "bi sel?". I couldn't understand that, so I said "Sorry?" And she said "by itself?" This time, I was able to understand what she said, but I still had to stop and figure out what she meant for a second. Then I realized that she was asking if I wanted a meal or not.
It was tricky, but now I know.

カウンターにて
At a Counter
この前、マクドナルドに行った時に店員さんに何かすごく速く言われたんだ。
The other day, I went to McDonald's and the person at the counter said something really quickly.
”バイセル?”って言われて、私はそれが理解できなくて、”もう一度お願いします”って言ったの。そしたら彼女が”バイイッセルフ?”って言った。
She said "bi sel?". I couldn't understand that, so I said "Sorry?" And she said "by itself?"
今度は彼女が何て言ったか理解できた。
This time, I was able to understand what she said,
でもそれでも、一瞬止まってどういう意味か考えなきゃいけなかった。
but I still had to stop and figure out what she meant for a second.
そしたら、ミールセットが欲しいのかどうかを聞いていたってことに気が付いたの。
Then I realized that she was asking if I wanted a meal or not.
ややこしかったけど、これで意味が分かった。
It was tricky, but now I know.

そんな経験をしたことはありますか?聞き間違えをしたり、言葉を理解できなかったことがあれば、コメント欄にて英語で教えてください。
💡答え方は、Yes I have.や、I couldn't understand the word "~". だけでももちろんOKですし、いつ?どこで?誰と?など、その時のことを細かく説明されてもOKです!細かい文法は間違っていても大丈夫なので、「これ、伝えたい!」という気持ちでアウトプットをしてみましょう◎
Yes, I have. I couldn't understand the word "first of all". I misheard it as “festival”.
Yes, before, I had a lot of experiences like that.
My online teacher spoke really fast, and I couldn't understand what she was saying.
So, I asked her, "Can you please speak a little slower?"
And then she spoke slowly for me. But I didn't know some words, so I asked, "What does that word mean?"
She explained the meaning, but I still didn't understand the explained word.
Even though I was like that, thanks to Shadow me, I can understand many things now!
Yes, l have. I used to work at the bento shop. A customer was like “Can I get a Kuro ?” l couldn’t understand that , and then l realized that he said “Can l get a croquette? in a few seconds. That was interesting because the pronunciation of croquette differed from that of コロッケwe say.
Maybe,Yes,I have.
But I forgot what it was like.
I often mishear.
Yes I have.I have taken online English lessons six month ago, but I had to stop taking it. In last lesson, my teacher said “Please stay in touch”. I couldn’t understand that. I had to stop and figure out what she meant for a second, so she told me that the meaning. ”Let’s keep contact us! “ I’m very happy!
We’re still keeping stay in touch.
