レッスンを作成中...
1
Before you start work today, give English 20 quiet minutes.
2
20 minutes before work?
3
That sounds useful.
4
But my morning is always busy.
5
I know.
6
Many people feel busy in the morning.
7
But this lesson is not about hard study.
8
It is about warming up your English brain.
9
Warming up?
10
Like before exercise?
11
Exactly.
12
Before running, you warm up your body.
13
Before using English, you can warm up your brain, your ears, and your mouth.
14
That makes sense, but I usually wake up, check my phone, drink coffee, and hurry to work.
15
Then this episode is for you.
16
You can listen while making coffee, getting dressed, eating breakfast, or walking to the office.
17
So I do not need to sit at a desk?
18
No, you do not need a desk.
19
You only need a small morning habit.
20
A small habit feels easier than a big study plan.
21
Yes, big study plans often fail because they feel too heavy.
22
Small habits work because they fit into your real life.
23
I like that.
24
I want English to fit into my life, not fight with my life.
25
Beautiful.
26
Today, we will practice English you can use before work.
27
Simple sentences, natural phrases, and small speaking reactions.
28
I need that.
29
When I get to work and someone speaks English, my brain is not ready.
30
That is very common.
31
Your brain needs a gentle switch.
32
A switch?
33
Yes, like turning on a light.
34
In the morning, your English light may still be off.
35
This lesson helps you turn it on slowly.
36
My English light is usually very weak in the morning.
37
That is okay.
38
We will turn it on step by step.
39
What should I say first?
40
Start with your morning.
41
Say, I'm getting ready for work.
42
I'm getting ready for work.
43
Good.
44
Get ready for means prepare for something.
45
So I can say, I'm getting ready for my meeting.
46
Perfect!
47
Or, I'm getting ready for a busy day.
48
I'm getting ready for a busy day.
49
Very natural!
50
Now say, I'm making coffee.
51
I'm making coffee.
52
I'm having breakfast.
53
I'm having breakfast.
54
I'm checking my schedule.
55
I'm checking my schedule.
56
Great!
57
These are simple morning sentences.
58
They help your brain connect English with real actions.
59
So when I do something, I can name it in English.
60
Exactly.
61
You are not studying random words.
62
You are using English to describe your life.
63
That feels more natural.
64
Yes.
65
Natural English often begins with real life.
66
What are you doing now?
67
How do you feel?
68
What will you do next?
69
Okay.
70
I am making coffee.
71
I feel sleepy.
72
I will go to work soon.
73
Excellent!
74
Very clear and useful.
75
But is it too simple?
76
No. Simple is not bad.
77
Simple is the base.
78
If the base is strong, your English becomes more natural.
79
I think I understand.
80
I do not need difficult sentences in the morning.
81
Right!
82
You need easy sentences that wake up your English.
83
Wake up my English.
84
I like that.
85
Let's practice a useful pattern.
86
I need to.
87
I need to.
88
I need to leave soon.
89
I need to check my email.
90
I need to prepare for a meeting.
91
Prepare means get ready.
92
If you prepare for a meeting, you may read notes, check files, or think about what to say.
93
Good.
94
You can also say, I have to.
95
I have to leave now.
96
I have to leave now.
97
I have to finish this report.
98
I have to finish this report.
99
Need to and have to are both useful.
100
Have to can feel a little stronger.
101
So I have to leave now sounds more urgent.
102
Yes.
103
Urgent means you need to do it quickly or soon.
104
I have to leave now.
105
I am running late.
106
Very natural.
107
I'm running late means you may be late.
108
I'm running late.
109
I say that a lot in real life.
110
Many people do.
111
Now make it polite.
112
Sorry, I'm running late.
113
Sorry, I'm running late.
114
Add one more sentence.
115
I'll be there soon.
116
Sorry, I'm running late.
117
I'll be there soon.
118
Perfect!
119
This is useful before work, before meetings, and before meeting friends.
120
It sounds like real English, not textbook English.
121
That is the goal.
122
Real, simple, repeatable English.
123
Can we practice more workday sentences? Of course.
124
Say, I have a lot to do today.
125
I have a lot to do today.
126
It means your day is full of tasks.
127
Task means a thing I need to do?
128
Yes.
129
A task can be an email, a meeting, a call, or a report.
130
I have a lot of tasks today.
131
Good.
132
More natural.
133
I have a lot to do today.
134
I have a lot to do today.
135
Another useful sentence.
136
I want to start the day calmly.
137
I want to start the day calmly.
138
Calmly means in a quiet and peaceful way.
139
I want to start the day calmly, but my phone does not help.
140
True!
141
Phones often make the morning noisy.
142
Yes.
143
I check one message, then ten minutes disappear.
144
Then try this sentence.
145
I will check my phone later.
146
I will check my phone later.
147
Or, I want to focus for 20 minutes.
148
I want to focus for 20 minutes.
149
Focus means put your attention on one thing.
150
I want to focus on English for 20 minutes.
151
Excellent!
152
That is a strong morning sentence.
153
I want to focus on English for 20 minutes.
154
Now let's practice small self-talk before work.
155
Self-talk means what I say to myself, right?
156
Yes.
157
Self-talk can help you start the day with a better feeling.
158
My morning self-talk is usually, Oh no, I'm late.
159
Let's make it kinder.
160
Say, I can start slowly.
161
I can start slowly.
162
I do not need to be perfect.
163
I do not need to be perfect.
164
I can learn a little before work.
165
I can learn a little before work.
166
A little practice is still practice.
167
A little practice is still practice.
168
Very good.
169
These sentences help you reduce pressure.
170
Reduce pressure means make pressure smaller.
171
Exactly.
172
When pressure is smaller, learning feels easier.
173
I always put pressure on myself.
174
I think, if I cannot study for one hour, then I should not study.
175
That is a common trap.
176
Trap means something that catches me?
177
Yes.
178
A trap makes you stuck.
179
The one-hour trap is dangerous because it makes you forget the value of 10 minutes or 20 minutes.
180
So 20 minutes before work still counts.
181
Absolutely!
182
It counts!
183
It matters!
184
I can say, 20 minutes still counts!
185
Perfect!
186
Repeat that!
187
20 minutes still counts.
188
Now let's use English to plan your workday.
189
That sounds practical.
190
Practical means useful in real life.
191
Practical.
192
I need practical English.
193
Say, first, I will check my email.
194
First, I will check my email.
195
Then, I will join a meeting.
196
Then, I will join a meeting.
197
After that, I will finish my report.
198
After that, I will finish my report.
199
If I have time, I will take a short break.
200
If I have time, I will take a short break.
201
Excellent!
202
These words help you organize your day.
203
First, then, after that, if I have time.
204
I can use them in speaking and writing.
205
Yes, they make your English clearer.
206
Can I say, first, I drink coffee.
207
Then, I check email.
208
After that, I go to the meeting.
209
Yes, even that is useful.
210
Try a smoother version.
211
First, I drink my coffee.
212
Then, I check my email.
213
After that, I go to a meeting.
214
First, I drink my coffee.
215
Then, I check my email.
216
After that, I go to a meeting.
217
Great!
218
Now add feeling, I feel a little nervous, but I'm ready.
219
I feel a little nervous, but I'm ready.
220
That sentence is very useful before work, before presentations, and before English conversations.
221
I feel a little nervous, but I'm ready.
222
The word ready does not mean perfect.
223
It means you can begin. That helps.
224
I am never perfect, but I can be ready.
225
Exactly.
226
Natural English grows when you begin again and again.
227
Can we talk about natural English?
228
What does it really mean?
229
Good question.
230
Natural English means English that sounds simple, clear, and real.
231
It is not only correct.
232
It also fits the situation.
233
So if I say, I am now consuming breakfast, it may be correct, but not natural?
234
Exactly, most people say.
235
I'm having breakfast.
236
I'm having breakfast.
237
Much easier.
238
Natural English often uses common verbs.
239
Have, get, take, make, go, do, check.
240
Common verbs are not weak.
241
Not weak at all.
242
They are powerful because people use them every day.
243
Can you give examples?
244
Sure. Have coffee.
245
Get ready.
246
Take a break.
247
Make a plan.
248
Go to work.
249
Do my best.
250
Check my email. Have coffee.
251
Get ready.
252
Take a break.
253
Make a plan.
254
Go to work.
255
Do my best.
256
Check my email.
257
Excellent!
258
These are small chunks.
259
Chunks again.
260
A group of words that often go together.
261
Correct!
262
If you learn chunks, you do not need to build every sentence word by word.
263
That saves time in my brain.
264
Yes.
265
And before work, your brain needs easy roads.
266
Easy roads for English.
267
Exactly!
268
Let's practice common work chunks.
269
I'm ready.
270
Check my email.
271
Check my email.
272
Join a meeting.
273
Join a meeting.
274
Take notes.
275
Take notes.
276
Send a message Make a quick call Finish a report Take a short break
277
Ask for help Good!
278
Now put them into sentences
279
I need to check my email Great I have to join a meeting Good I will take notes during the meeting Excellent!
280
I need to send a message to my co-worker.
281
Very natural.
282
I might take a short break after lunch.
283
Nice!
284
Might means maybe.
285
I might take a short break.
286
Good.
287
It is softer than I will.
288
So if I am not sure, I can use might.
289
Exactly!
290
I might leave early.
291
I might call you later.
292
I might need more time.
293
I might need more time.
294
Very useful at work.
295
If a task is difficult, say, I might need more time.
296
I might need more time.
297
If you need help, say, Can I ask you something?
298
Can I ask you something?
299
That is a polite way to start a question.
300
Can I ask you something?
301
I might need more time.
302
Good.
303
You can also say, Could you help me with this?
304
Could you help me with this?
305
Could you sounds polite.
306
Help me with this means help me with this task, problem, or file.
307
Could you help me with this file?
308
Perfect.
309
If you do not understand, say, can you explain that again?
310
Can you explain that again?
311
Or softer, sorry, can you explain that again?
312
Sorry, can you explain that again?
313
Excellent!
314
These phrases make you look active, not weak.
315
Really?
316
I worry that asking again makes me look bad.
317
Asking clearly is professional!
318
Pretending to understand can create problems.
319
Pretending means acting like something is true?
320
Yes, if you pretend to understand, you act like you understand, but you do not.
321
I do that sometimes because I feel embarrassed.
322
Many learners do, but a better phrase is, I want to make sure I understand.
323
I want to make sure I understand.
324
This sounds careful and professional.
325
I want to make sure I understand.
326
Can you explain that again?
327
Excellent!
328
That is very useful.
329
It sounds much better than just saying, I don't know.
330
Yes, you are showing effort and clarity.
331
Clarity means being clear?
332
Correct.
333
At work, clarity is very important.
334
English clarity, not perfect English.
335
Exactly.
336
Now let's practice a short morning workplace conversation.
337
Okay, I will try.
338
Good morning.
339
How are you today?
340
Good morning.
341
I'm a little tired, but I'm ready.
342
Nice!
343
Do you have a lot to do today?
344
Yes, I have a lot to do today.
345
What will you do first?
346
First, I will check my email, then I will join a meeting.
347
Great!
348
Can you finish the report today?
349
I might need more time.
350
Very good!
351
Can you explain why?
352
I want to make sure I do it well.
353
Excellent!
354
That is natural and professional.
355
I can use this in real life.
356
Yes, you can.
357
These are not fancy sentences.
358
They are working sentences.
359
Working sentences.
360
They do real work.
361
Exactly.
362
Now let's talk about morning confidence.
363
Confidence is hard for me, especially in English.
364
Confidence does not always come before speaking.
365
Sometimes, confidence comes after small speaking practice.
366
So, I practice first, then I feel more confident.
367
Yes.
368
Before work, say three simple lines out loud. Which lines?
369
I can speak slowly.
370
I can ask again.
371
I can use simple English.
372
I can speak slowly.
373
I can ask again.
374
I can use simple English.
375
Beautiful!
376
These lines prepare your mind.
377
I feel less pressure when I say, I can use simple English.
378
Good!
379
Simple English is enough for many situations.
380
I can use simple English at work.
381
Yes, you can greet people, ask questions, explain tasks, and ask for help.
382
I do not need to sound perfect.
383
Right!
384
You need to be clear, polite, and calm.
385
Clear, polite, and calm.
386
Let's practice that.
387
Clear means simple.
388
Polite means respectful.
389
Calm means not panicking.
390
Clear, polite, and calm.
391
Instead of saying a long, nervous sentence, say, Sorry, I have a question.
392
Then say, Could you explain this part?
393
Very good.
394
Instead of panicking when you are busy, say, I'm working on it.
395
That means I am doing it now.
396
If you need more time, say, I need a little more time.
397
I need a little more time.
398
If something is finished, say, It's done.
399
It's done.
400
If you will send something soon, say, I'll send it soon.
401
I'll send it soon.
402
Good!
403
Now combine them.
404
I'm working on it.
405
I'll send it soon.
406
I'm working on it.
407
I'll send it soon.
408
I need a little more time.
409
I want to make sure it's right.
410
I need a little more time.
411
I want to make sure it's right.
412
Excellent!
413
That is useful and professional.
414
I feel like work English can be simple.
415
It can.
416
Many work moments repeat every day.
417
Like email, meetings, reports, questions, and small talk.
418
Exactly.
419
If you practice the repeated moments, English becomes more natural.
420
Repeated moments.
421
That is important.
422
Yes.
423
You do not need all English today.
424
You need the English that appears again and again.
425
The English that appears again and again.
426
Now let's do a mini morning shadowing practice.
427
Sounds good.
428
Repeat after me.
429
I'm getting ready for work.
430
I'm getting ready for work.
431
I want to start the day calmly.
432
I want to start the day calmly.
433
I have a lot to do today.
434
I have a lot to do today.
435
First, I will check my email.
436
First, I will check my email.
437
Then I will join a meeting.
438
I might need more time.
439
Could you help me with this?
440
I want to make sure I understand.
441
I'm working on it.
442
I'll send it soon.
443
I can use simple English.
444
Great!
445
Now, if you are listening before work, choose one line for today.
446
Only one line?
447
Yes, one line is enough.
448
If you use one real sentence today, your English becomes more alive.
449
More alive!
450
I like that!
451
English on paper is useful, but English in your day is powerful.
452
I want to use I want to make sure I understand.
453
Excellent choice!
454
It is polite, clear, and useful.
455
I want to make sure I understand.
456
Now let's imagine your morning.
457
You drink coffee.
458
You listen for 20 minutes.
459
You repeat a few lines.
460
Then you start work.
461
That sounds peaceful.
462
And your English brain is already awake.
463
Not perfect, but awake.
464
Exactly!
465
Not perfect, but awake.
466
That is enough.
467
Sometimes I think I need to study at night because morning is too short.
468
Night study can be good.
469
but Morning English gives you one special benefit.
470
What benefit?
471
You can use it right away.
472
If you hear a phrase before work, you may use it at work the same day.
473
That makes it easier to remember.
474
Yes, your brain thinks, this phrase belongs to my life.
475
This phrase belongs to my life.
476
Very good.
477
That is how English becomes natural.
478
Not by memorizing alone, but by meeting the phrase in real life.
479
Exactly!
480
Listen, repeat, notice, use.
481
Notice means pay attention.
482
Maybe you hear a co-worker say, I'm working on it!
483
Then you think, Oh, I know that phrase!
484
That moment feels good.
485
Yes, those small moments build confidence.
486
Small moments build confidence.
487
Now let's review today's most useful phrases.
488
I'm ready.
489
I'm getting ready for work.
490
I want to focus on English for 20 minutes.
491
I have a lot to do today.
492
I'm running late.
493
I'll be there soon.
494
First, I will check my email.
495
Then, I will join a meeting.
496
I might need more time.
497
Could you help me with this?
498
Sorry, can you explain that again?
499
I want to make sure I understand.
500
I'm working on it.
501
I'll send it soon.
502
I can speak slowly.
503
I can ask again.
504
I can use simple English.
505
I can speak slowly.
506
I can ask again.
507
I can use simple English.
508
Very nice.
509
How do you feel now?
510
More ready.
511
Not fully ready, but more ready.
512
That is perfect.
513
More ready is a real feeling.
514
You do not need to jump from zero to perfect.
515
I just need to move one step.
516
Yes, one step before work, one phrase before a meeting, one calm breath before speaking.
517
One calm breath before speaking.
518
That is a good reminder.
519
English becomes natural when it appears in your normal day, before coffee, before work, before a meeting, before sending a message.
520
So I should not wait for a perfect study time.
521
Right!
522
Use the time you already have.
523
20 minutes before work.
524
Exactly!
525
20 minutes can wake up your ears!
526
20 minutes can wake up your mouth!
527
20 minutes can wake up your confidence!
528
And 20 minutes still counts.
529
Yes, it counts.
530
If you do this often, English will slowly feel less strange.
531
It will slowly feel more natural.
532
Exactly.
533
Slowly, gently, and clearly.
534
I can do that.
535

この動画がスピーキング練習に最適な理由
朝の忙しい時間を利用して自然に英語を身につけたいと思っていませんか？この動画は、「英語の脳を温める」というコンセプトで、日常的なシーンに溶け込むような簡単なフレーズを提供してくれます。特に、英語シャドーイングに最適な素材です。なぜなら、スピーキングのリズムやイントネーションが自然で、繰り返し練習しやすいからです。また、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ、実用的な表現が多く含まれています。
自然な英語表現の秘密を解き明かす
動画の中で使われているフレーズは、なぜ自然に聞こえるのでしょうか？いくつか例を挙げてみましょう。
- "I'm getting ready for work."：「準備する」という意味の"get ready for"は、日常会話でよく使われるフレーズです。"prepare for"よりもカジュアルで、自然な響きがあります。
- "I'm making coffee."：現在進行形を使うことで、「今、コーヒーを作っている」という瞬間的なアクションを表し、会話にリアリティを与えています。
- "A small habit feels easier than a big study plan."："feels easier than"は、「～よりも簡単に感じる」という主観的な印象を表し、相手に共感してもらいやすい表現です。
これらのフレーズは、文法的に完璧ではないかもしれませんが、shadow speechの練習によって、自然な発音とリズムを身につけることができます。
効果的な練習ルーティン：repeat-and-record loop
この動画を使ったshadowspeaksの練習方法を紹介します。
- 動画を1文ずつ再生し、すぐにその後に自分の声で繰り返します（シャドーイング）。このとき、イントネーションやリズムを注意深く観察してください。
- 自分の声を録音し、原音と比べてみましょう。発音の違いや、リズムのずれなどを見つけることができます。
- 同じフレーズを5回ほど繰り返し、自然に口から出るようになるまで練習します。
この方法は、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、スピーキングの自信もつけることができます。朝の20分間、このルーティンを続けるだけで、英語が徐々に自然になっていきます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
