This is BLT Eigo, brought to you by BLTnetwork.com. Im your host and English Coach, David Hylton.
Ah.ah achoo!
(Whats that?)
Oh, the mask?
(Yeh.)
I have a runny nose and itchy eyes and cant stop coughing and sneezing.
(You got a cold?)
Do I have a cold? No, I have hay fever, or in Japanese kafunsho （花粉症）. My doctor says I am allergic to Japanese Cedar pollen, or sugi kafun (杉花粉）. Unfortunately, the Japanese Cedar is found just about everywhere in Japan, except parts of Hokkaido and Okinawa. So every year, starting around February, I suffer from hay fever. So this brings me to our lesson.
When someone sneezes, you can say bless you or gezundheit. Lets try them:
A) Achoo!
B) Bless you!

A) Achoo!
B) Gezundheit!

Good job!
And.ahah achoo! (Bless you!) Thank you. See you next time right here on BLTnetwork.com.
