～の中で・～いちばん: “The Most”

Introduction

Hey, can you hear that? That’s the sound of the ice cream truck, ice-cream-truckin’ its way over here. And you know what that means. That’s right, it’s time for me to ask what your favorite flavor of ice cream is… again. But this time for real!

There are plenty of things worth liking in this wide, beautiful world, but we’re only human. We can’t help but like some things better than others. Whether it’s ice cream, or varieties of cheese, or our own children. And so, today, we’re going to learn how to express that we like something the best. Oh, and also the things we like the least (mosquitos, anyone?).
