Tenma-sennsei (親記事) - Candyman

I bought a textbook Mr. Hayakawa 1800 TOEIC and just started studying TOEIC as Tenma-sennsei’s strategy. I realized that overlapping is very tough I’m not with native speaker and preposition or some of words I didn’t hear for example, enthusiastic
エンスージアスティックbut I can hear only スージアスティックwhere is En? And also when you ホエン　ユウ　⇒エンニユ will ⇒like no sound. The textbook is story so it is very interesting. extremely highly 副詞に副詞があるなんて・・so I looked at TOEIC official vol.2 extremely diligently ( my answer was adjective ) I’m saying is that it is a very effective textbook for TOEIC. I’m sure I should study it many times I can get a good score.
Thanks!
I learned about intonation at NOVA so very interesting.
(I) didn’t say he stole the money. (Someone else said it. Not me.)
I (didn’t) say he stole the money. (Even if you think I did.)
I didn’t (say) he stole the money. (I only suggested the possibility.)
I didn’t say (he) stole the money. (I think someone else took it.)
I didn’t say he (stole) the money. (Maybe he just borrowed it.)
I didn’t say he stole the( money). (He may have taken some jewelry.)
According to NOVA teacher, feeling and intonation are very significant to learn English.
Anyway, Oasis party (more than 8people NOVA kita-senju members will come there.) you don’t care I know you are extremely busy so next time I’m looking forward to meeting you.

I'm glad to know you're studying with the book. As English monster says, you've gotta listen to what you don't hear as it's written, until you remember the sound. Then you will be able to hear and understand what it's supposed to sound. I often listen to the CDs, but every time I do, I hear she surely says "en"thusiastic, not "thusiastic."

And the intonation thing, the sentence is exactly from the book, "American Accent Training." In the book, the author says that every language has the similar kind of intonation patterns, (refering to the fact it's not only unique in English, ) and in the CDs, she even demonstrates that in Japanese herself. You might not notice how often we use intonation to carry the meanings differently, but you will see that when you read the book.

I'm sure that's a great book, but I can't recomemd it because it's a bit too costly. When we have time to meet, though, I'd defintely take it with me. I hope it will happen soon.
