レッスンを作成中...
1
Good morning, good morning.
2
It is currently the 30th of December, 2025. And...
3
I woke up with this thought that I think I don't know, I think a lot of people can agree with me on this.
4
which is that 2025 was a really weird year.
5
I don't think I've ever been a part of a year where there were so many twists and turns, plot twists left and right.
6
I mean we all go through different lives but I feel the main theme of this year has been kind of completion, I guess, for a lot of people.
7
It reflects with numerology, it reflects with the zodiacs and all of those other things, but that aside, when I talk to people throughout this year,
8
it feels like we're all kind of going through the same recurring themes.
9
At least for me this year, I have learned how to I don't know if I can say let go yet, but ease off of the control.
10
of my own life because listen, I don't think I can plan anything anymore.
11
I'm just going to take it as it comes, but still keep my direction, you know what I mean?
12
I had been in situations this year where I had been
13
planning next steps with a person and immediately that person is taken out of my life.
14
Poof.
15
Gone.
16
All this being said, I actually had a really good year
17
I guess because I went with the punches or however else you say it,
18
I ended up finding myself in a lot of unexpected situations as well that were so worth it. So...
19
You know.
20
balance.
21
And for me this year, I got lucky.
22
my balance scale definitely tips into the lucky side.
23
I think it's so important to practice discernment in your life.
24
And when I say discernment, I don't mean in a way of trying to block everybody off.
25
You know what I mean?
26
When I say discernment, Discernment only happens after you yourself know what you want and nobody can actually tell you what you want.
27
Because here's the thing about humans, we're actually kind of a mess.
28
And so even when someone tells us to do something, even if we do it, there's this gnawing feeling that sits inside of us.
29
that kind of knows it's not aligned.
30
And I know that over years and years and years of not listening to that little voice, it gets quieter, I guess but it doesn't really go away.
31
So I've kind of been approaching life more of identifying what that little voice even means, and then going off of that
32
more so than outside noise events can happen events can shift
33
and honestly depending on context depending on person like everything is
34
its own singular situation there's no overarching rules to anything but that little voice that's a subconscious version of you
35
that learn through all the things that you've been through, all the things that you've thought, and somehow turns it into a little gut feeling, you know?
36
I just think people need to trust themselves more.
37
And This year?
38
This year I feel like the universe forced it on all of us.
39
Everybody had to trust themselves more, okay?
40
It was the wild west out here.
41
So a couple years ago, back in 2024, I started having a motto for myself for each year.
42
And at the beginning of 2024, it was, "Tahong Kyeol."
43
Okay, now that's Vietnamese but the loose translation or at least my translation of it is I'll fucking play.
44
But, Guess what happened?
45
I got played all year.
46
No, seriously, people were trying me left and right.
47
It was ridiculous.
48
And so for 2025, last year, my motto was Fuck it, we ball.
49
And we kind of did, honestly.
50
yeah yeah yeah it wasn't a bad year at all.
51
And so for 2026 I've already decided my motto My motto for 2026 will be "Send it to space." Now,
52
I don't really exactly know what that means.
53
And I think that that's kind of the fun in it this year.
54
I don't know, something about...
55
Speaking it into existence.
56
Space might be a little weird, you know, but we'll see how it plays out this year.
57
I am grateful for this year, I am thankful for this year, while also happy that it is over.
58
which is what I think a lot of us feel about the year 2025.
59
The year of the brain were online for real.
60
Anyway, if you're still here, sitting and listening to me yap.
61
I hope you have a good day and I hope you have a
62
good 2026 and that you're ringing in the new year with your loved ones and yeah Bye!
63
I'll see you next time.
64
Thank you.

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。
