1
Why is it so bloody difficult to learn English?
2
Well, because it's so time-consuming.
3
It takes up so much time studying,
4
practicing, just learning and trying to understand things.
5
It's difficult, but the best thing you can do is be consistent.
6
And that's what we're doing here.
7
Five minutes of British English listening practice every single day.
8
Today's topic, remote work.
9
Now, this is something that didn't really exist maybe 10 years ago.
10
Obviously it existed, but it wasn't very common at all.
11
It would only be digital nomads that go and live in Bali
12
and have weird random jobs or only a certain type of job.
13
but thanks to COVID it's become a very normal thing it has been normalized
14
so to normalize is the verb to become normal to make something normal
15
so COVID normalized remote working people often say home office
16
and that's not really common in English it's not really used by native speakers,
17
we say working from home.
18
So where's John?
19
Oh, he's working from home today.
20
And but if your job is remote then you are working from home.
21
But hybrid working, where you are at home and in the office,
22
that seems to be one of the most common types, I guess.
23
But there is still a lot of remote jobs out there.
24
And it's a very weird thing, isn't it?
25
Working from your house and I think many people struggle with it.
26
Now, I, since university, since I've left university,
27
I have only really had a remote job and that's it.
28
So I started English teaching right after university and I do all of that online.
29
So I do it at home.
30
And I don't know, maybe it's a little bit easier for me
31
because I just do my classes within a certain time frame.
32
So they start at this time and they finish at this time
33
and then I can go and I can relax and I can forget about it.
34
And I think for many people it's very difficult when you have a typical nine to five.
35
So when you're working all throughout the day and your head is full of a lot of stuff
36
and it's very difficult to separate work from home.
37
We often talk about a work-life balance
38
and working from home makes it very difficult for people to have this work-life balance
39
because when you commute so when you travel to
40
and from work you have time you have time to think
41
maybe you have time to decompress relax maybe you'll listen to music
42
or you'll listen to somebody's five minutes of daily english listening practice
43
or you'll listen to a different type of podcast or watch a film or something and this will
44
make you forget about work and then
45
when you get home you can start your normal personal life
46
but But when you work at a desk in one room
47
and you stand up and then you go and take 10 steps and you're in your kitchen,
48
then it's a little bit harder to separate those lives.
49
And when you are around the house all day,
50
the whole house becomes a bit of a workspace and where you're thinking.
51
So it becomes very difficult.
52
Let me know.
53
Have you guys ever struggled with this?
54
And do you have any advice for anybody else that is struggling with this?
55
I think it gets better over time.
56
You get more used to it,
57
maybe more disciplined and you have little tricks that help you.
58
And one thing that helps me is what I wear.
59
So obviously you cannot see all of me but I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt right now because it's a sunny day.
60
It's kind of warm but in the winter in the UK most of the time it's cold
61
and it's very tempting to stay in nice warm clothes
62
and actually what I normally do is wear joggers
63
so like the very comfy very very comfy trousers some people might call them tracksuit bottoms
64
and they're yeah very comfy very cozy
65
and they're what I wear to just relax in my house
66
and often I'll wear a nice warm fluffy hoodie as well
67
which is also what I would wear to relax in my house but
68
I've noticed recently that if I get dressed so
69
if I wear proper clothes that helps me to again make
70
that separation between work and home life obviously I don't need to wear a suit
71
and tie for my job but it really helps to have your comfy relax relaxing clothes
72
and then
73
when you put on a normal outfit even just normal day-to-day clothes it it helps helps your brain to make
74
that distinction thank you guys thanks for watching and I'll see you back here tomorrow

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。
