シャドーイング練習: 5 Days in Madagascar | World's Poorest Island - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
Behind me is a container, like a shipping container.
2
People live in them.
3
They've built houses inside of the cargo.
4
Madagascar is the world's poorest island, where 80% of its residents earn less than $2 per day.
5
As you walk around, the reality hits fast.
6
The water that they're using to wash is this river, and I can't imagine that the river is clean.
7
Power cuts, no running water, and families surviving on almost nothing.
8
I'm on a mission with my wife, Deanna, to explore deep inside the culture and find out why this country stays trapped in poverty.
9
We are meeting up with our local friend Parfait, and we're heading straight into the bustling market.
10
Okay, so I'm gonna hold onto my bag like this.
11
Hold on your bag.
12
So then if somebody undist it from the bag.
13
Hold on your camera, your phone.
14
What is the biggest struggle for the people that live in the city?
15
Like, obviously I can see there's a lot of poverty.
16
People are hustling, they have their shops.
17
But like, what is the struggle?
18
The main struggle in Tana, in the city, for example, is the electricity outage.
19
Because we can have up to five hours a day of electricity outage.
20
Per day?
21
Every day?
22
Yeah, every 24 hours.
23
Five hours every day, the whole city shuts up.
24
Yeah, the whole city.
25
Or part of the city, or maybe for the morning, the eastern part, by the afternoon for other parts of the city.
26
For example, this morning, it was cut two hours.
27
And then when I left home to go to the airport, it already cut for other two hours.
28
And then for the water.
29
Water is other history in Tana because the water supply has difficulties.
30
We don't have water by daytime.
31
You only have water around 10pm to 5am.
32
No running water.
33
What if you need the toilet or shower?
34
So you fill some jerrycans or gallons by night time when you have water.
35
And it will be the water you use at daytime.
36
I hope that the situation gets better.
37
Yeah, yeah, it will get better.
38
We have found this second or third hand clothing margin which is only here on Wednesday.
39
And today happens to be Wednesday.
40
So they're all just random studios.
41
How can they find a pair?
42
You have to look or ask the guy to look for you.
43
Well, how much is that shoe?
44
10,000.
45
We prefer to buy second hand shoes that can last up two years.
46
For example, this Converse is a good one.
47
Oh, this is crazy.
48
Dude, to walk in here, my head.
49
These shoes are so clean.
50
They look brand new.
51
Yeah, some of them are brand new.
52
This is the professional shoe cleaner here.
53
The reason all these shoes look so sparkly clean is because of this guy.
54
These are like the liveliest streets you could possibly imagine.
55
It's so crazy, their faces, they look Asian.
56
In Madagascar, we don't feel like Africans.
57
If you ask those people, if they are African, they will tell you, no, I am Malagasy, I'm not African.
58
For us, an African person is a tall and a black person.
59
You don't consider yourself black?
60
Blasian.
61
We call you Blasian, which is like Tiger Woods.
62
He's half black, half Asian.
63
That's a nice word, I've never heard that.
64
You've never heard that?
65
No. Blasian.
66
That's a cool word.
67
What is the average daily wage of the people here?
68
Now, the minimum is six to 60.
69
Which is $2 per day.
70
Internet, for example, the fiber is only accessible around 50 USD.
71
So most of the people don't have internet at home.
72
This is one of the coolest fast foods in the world.
73
Look at this.
74
It almost looks like a piece of meat.
75
I was searching for this because you know the kuba is the name of the cake and faravucha is our neighborhood.
76
And it's very famous to have the best kuba in the city.
77
Okay, let's get two slices.
78
Thank you.
79
It's really sweet, really soft, and really peanut-y.
80
The brown side you see is a peanut, mostly peanut and sugar.
81
Good right?
82
It's really...
83
It's just so sweet.
84
Yeah, it's hard to explain it.
85
For me, for example, it's too sweet.
86
It's not for everyday.
87
Yeah.
88
They have an abundance of fresh fruit on this island.
89
Look at all of this.
90
When they have meat, they will put the label halal.
91
That doesn't mean that they are Muslim.
92
That only means that they don't have pork meat anywhere where they sell it.
93
Because some people, by culture, don't eat pork meat or anything touched by pork meat.
94
You know, in Madagascar we have Muslim and Christians and all religions live peacefully.
95
Everybody that I see has been really friendly and they smile and they wave.
96
I don't know, they're genuine.
97
That's a good feeling.
98
We're gonna try some chicharrón, which is like fried pork.
99
I love it.
100
I love it.
101
She ate that as a kid.
102
You wanna get a bag of it and eat it later?
103
I'm worried I'm gonna get my phone snatched.
104
All right, wow, speaking of snatch, you could not have grabbed that bag any quicker.
105
I love it.
106
How much was that in...
107
$5,000.
108
Malagasy?
109
You're asking me if you're Malagasy.
110
Really?
111
Yeah.
112
She looks Malagasy?
113
You would have never thought on the African continent that people think you're a local, right?
114
Yeah.
115
So babe, we've been here for a few hours now.
116
What do you think about it?
117
It reminds me of Bicol.
118
It kind of, that's our hometown in the Philippines.
119
It really does.
120
Like the faces of the people and just like the way.
121
Yeah, just the market itself.
122
This is so amazing.
123
The view in front of us, there's this big hill with a church on top.
124
Salama.
125
How is it?
126
Good?
127
Good?
128
No pain?
129
Homies just chilling here on the corner of the street with no shirt on, getting a massage on the street.
130
Oh yeah, get the lower back.
131
Yeah.
132
Okay, just here?
133
Yeah.
134
Oh my God.
135
See you tomorrow.
136
I'm about to get a head massage here on the street.
137
Oh yeah.
138
Oh man.
139
Yeah, he's like inside of my brain right now.
140
It's actually insanely good.
141
This whole line is for the bus.
142
Look at that line.
143
Damn.
144
Dude, this is crazy.
145
This can take hours.
146
Exactly.
147
It'll be a pomeran HP.
148
Whoa, dude, this crazy, they're still moving and they're getting on it.
149
They didn't get on it, they missed it.
150
It's insane.
151
Now we are hopping in the car
152
and heading to the opposite side of the city to find out what other challenges Madagascar faces.
153
So the flights are really expensive and the roads are not good, so getting around is difficult.
154
For example, here in Madagascar, one of the most famous national road is the National Road 7, which has around 900 kilometers long.
155
It will take a public transport more than 27 hours to just turn off the car because we're stuck in traffic.
156
The cable car costs a huge amount of money
157
that the whole country will pay and a small part of Tana can use it.
158
For example, I will still have to use the public transport to go to a station of the cable car
159
and then from another station with one or two different public transport to go home.
160
It's not useful for me.
161
And we're moving again finally after 10 minutes.
162
How much money did the government spend for the cable car?
163
They say that they spent more than 150 million euros.
164
That amount of money is insane.
165
Tell me more about the healthcare here in Madagascar.
166
The healthcare, you pay everything you need.
167
For example, we have public healthcare.
168
You go to public hospitals where they would pay a percentage of the medicines depending on the type of the disease,
169
but you still pay something.
170
What if you can't afford it?
171
They don't do the surgery?
172
No. Really?
173
Really.
174
So then you just have to suffer?
175
Exactly.
176
When healthcare and road systems aren't efficient, it raises serious questions about Madagascar's leadership, which is one of the many reasons why the country remains so poor.
177
Madagascar became independent in 1960, but since then, unstable politics have made progress difficult and scared off investment.
178
The current president is a former military leader who rose to power after protests over water and electricity shortages.
179
On top of that, taxes are really high and the island is far from major trade routes, so even basic goods like food,
180
fuel, and building material cost way more before they reach the shelf.
181
Madagascar is also prone to severe cyclones, droughts, and floods, which knock families backwards by destroying crops and damaging infrastructure.
182
And right here in Antananarivo, you can actually see and breathe the results of these broken systems.
183
Overcrowding, trash, pollution, and families pushed into places the city was never built to support.
184
We are now crossing into a slum to see the problem up close.
185
We're in a community called La Reunioncheli, which means a small version of Reunion Island, which is ironic because Reunion is a beautiful island, but here it is more of a slum.
186
You have this little polluted river here with trash everywhere, and then there's markets everywhere and then people are living in these container ships.
187
Why are people in Madagascar struggling more than elsewhere in Africa?
188
Like what you said, it's a mystery for me because unlike African countries, we don't have borders with other countries.
189
We have a few disasters, we don't have war or civil wars in Madagascar.
190
So the fact that we are poor people, that the country is so poor, is a mystery for me.
191
How can we make a brighter future for Madagascar?
192
The key is education.
193
You have to educate the people in Madagascar.
194
You know right now there are more than 1.5 million children without any education in this country.
195
We are living in a corrupt country.
196
Everything is so rigged and difficult and the one way to change that is obviously education.
197
There's a guy selling coffee here can we get one coffee oh look at this bag thing man
198
that whoa got the whole system down how much is one cup 400 ariari
199
when i tell you they sell anything in this market they literally sell anything they'll dumpster dive
200
and grab stuff and then repurpose them and resell them
201
and people are actually shopping to buy things like it's busy
202
like you can just buy the leg of a doll When you talk about this community in Tana, what do people think about it?
203
What's the stereotype?
204
The stereotype is poverty and trash.
205
People will say, you're going to get sick there.
206
And among all these piles of trash and resellable items, there's just a little corner where there's people eating.
207
This is what we call cola here.
208
It's a type of nut.
209
It's an aphrodisiac for guys.
210
Why do you eat that?
211
To make us stronger, it says.
212
Can you speak English?
213
I can speak English with you.
214
What's your name?
215
He calls me Harry.
216
Harry.
217
What's your job?
218
He sells...
219
...something.
220
He sells cables and adapters or anything.
221
He says that Malagasy people are struggling.
222
How are they struggling?
223
He says that this is the struggle.
224
Everything you see here is the struggle he's talking about.
225
If you could say one message to everybody in the world, what would you tell them?
226
Love each other.
227
That's a great message, man.
228
Thank you.
229
Bye-bye.
230
Thank you.
231
Just for context, we're in the middle of the streets here.
232
And then this is his barber shop.
233
And then upstairs is where he sleeps.
234
This is the upstairs area.
235
It's really dark, so my flash is on.
236
You can see, you must have electricity if he's charging the phone.
237
There's a little bed here and that's it.
238
It's only a bed.
239
I have a question, like, do you have to pay for rent here or you can just build a house and stay here?
240
He pays rent.
241
How much do you pay every month for rent?
242
60,000.
243
And how much money can you make in one month on your job?
244
It depends on the month.
245
And sometimes he only works to pay rent.
246
And sometimes he doesn't even make it.
247
So his rent is $15 a month.
248
A month.
249
And sometimes he doesn't even make $15 a month.
250
I'm going to give him $20,000.
251
$20,000?
252
Yeah.
253
So behind me is literally a container, like a shipping container.
254
They're laid across here, and people live in them.
255
They've built houses inside of the cargo.
256
How many years have you been living here?
257
Seven years.
258
Seven years?
259
Yes.
260
And tell me, what is it like to live inside of a container?
261
No, he just said that he lived first in a shack made of plastic bag.
262
And then they offered him this container.
263
And he prefers the container because the container is fresher.
264
The plastic bag was very hot inside.
265
What's your job?
266
He works to clean the river.
267
In one day of work, how much money can you make?
268
I'm a little bit.
269
What's your job?
270
I'm a little bit.
271
I'm a little bit.
272
He earns, per month, around 300,000. Is this your kid?
273
She's the last one among seven siblings.
274
The last three are the only that live with him here.
275
And the four are married and have their own house.
276
So $80 a month and he has to support the three kids.
277
I mean, that's including food and stuff.
278
That's got to be difficult.
279
What is the actual biggest struggle that you have in your life?
280
To pay for the school kids for his kids and he has to pay for the books, for the pen, for everything.
281
That's his biggest trouble.
282
There is a famous phrase that went viral in social media in Madagascar.
283
That is, we are poor but happy.
284
That's what our president said.
285
I think it's true.
286
Before I carry on with this story here in Madagascar, I want to take a quick second to thank the sponsor of this video, Morgan & Morgan.
287
When you travel a lot like me, especially filming stories in communities and cultures completely different from your own, there are so many moving parts involved.
288
Flights, trains, crowded streets, unfamiliar places.
289
And when you're far away from home, the last thing you want is to feel unprepared if something goes wrong.
290
The same thing is true if you're ever in an unexpected accident.
291
You don't want to feel alone or unsure of what to do next.
292
And that's where Morgan & Morgan comes in, America's largest injury law firm.
293
If you're ever injured because of someone else's negligence, you don't want to be guessing your way through it.
294
Morgan & Morgan has been fighting for the people for over 35 years with more than 1,000 lawyers and 100 offices nationwide, which is basically like having an entire team backing you up.
295
And just like travel, life can change fast.
296
One moment, everything's normal.
297
And the next, you're dealing with something stressful and overwhelming.
298
Not all law firms are the same.
299
Hire the wrong one, and you may be beat before you even start.
300
If you're ever injured, you can check out Morgan & Morgan.
301
Their fee is free unless they win.
302
For more information, you can go to forthepeople.com slash Drew.
303
All right, now let's head back to exploring Madagascar.
304
All right, crossing the street is a little bit difficult here, I'm just gonna follow Parfait.
305
No, no, no, no. Okay.
306
The moto.
307
Jesus.
308
We're stuck in this tiny little medium.
309
It's about a foot wide.
310
Let's go.
311
So we have now made it to the river area You can see on one side, it's like a huge brick factory.
312
They're making bricks from scratch.
313
We're taking this little boat to cross the river.
314
This is nice and peaceful.
315
This river, when it's the wet season, specifically when we have cyclones, this river floods the whole neighborhood, like up to the level of the street.
316
We are in a giant open air factory of brick making.
317
And this guy right here is just making it from scratch.
318
Crazy manual labor.
319
These guys are out here all day just making brick after brick after brick.
320
This is literally how we have to get across.
321
We have to just weave through the bricks.
322
Oh my God.
323
This guy has so many bricks on his head.
324
I don't know how he does that.
325
It takes some serious skill.
326
What, two at a time?
327
Yes.
328
Holy crap.
329
It's literally a perfect throw every time.
330
Two bricks.
331
So they catch it in the same spot and then throw it in the same spot.
332
Wow.
333
It's like a whole community of women washing clothes here.
334
How many hours every day are you working?
335
She works from 8 a.m to 1 or 2 p.m.
336
In one day, how much money can you make on your job?
337
She earns around 5,000 a day.
338
What do you enjoy about living in Tana?
339
The thing that she likes in Tana is earning money.
340
She has 11 grandchildren.
341
Six of them live with her.
342
Does she support them?
343
Yes.
344
She makes a dollar a day and she supports all those grandkids.
345
You know what I find kind of shocking is that the water that they're using to wash is this river.
346
And I can't imagine that the river is clean. Is it?
347
No, it's not clean.
348
The bricks are then transported on a bull through the city.
349
They're just waiting in traffic.
350
It's freaking insane.
351
The traffic is completely out of standstill.
352
Jeez, dude.
353
This is normal?
354
Uh, no. It's not normal.
355
The traffic is so bad, we ditched our taxi, and now I'm taking a motorbike to get around town with this nasty hat helmet.
356
Drive safe, yeah?
357
Drive safe.
358
Drive safe.
359
Now with the bike we can squeeze through cars and traffic much easier like this.
360
We don't have to worry about passing this bus.
361
But I can taste the exhaust pipe.
362
Oh my god, there's so much dust flying in my eye right now.
363
I hope my friend is back there.
364
That KFC behind me is the only American food chain in the whole country.
365
No McDonald's, no Burger King, no Starbucks.
366
Just KFC.
367
We've arrived at our hotel, the Radisson Blu, one of the nicest hotels in the country.
368
My legs were holding onto that bike so tightly that my ass is killing me and I can't walk straight.
369
But welcome to our lovely hotel, the Radisson Blu.
370
There's no Marriott's here, there's no Hyatt's.
371
It's only 150 bucks a night.
372
Not bad.
373
After a full day of exploring the capital, I am ready for bed.
374
Tomorrow morning, we are flying north to a place called Nosy B, where Madagascar's best beaches are located.
375
I'm really curious to see how different it is compared to in town in Erivo.
376
Our first stop is to see the one thing that everyone associates with Madagascar, lemurs.
377
I like to move it, move it.
378
Yeah, I like to move it.
379
No, no, no, no. Okay, look, look.
380
Wow.
381
Holy fuck.
382
That was crazy.
383
He just jumped on me.
384
I wasn't expecting him to jump on me.
385
Okay.
386
Joyce, he might poop on me.
387
Oh my god, Jimmy.
388
Don't fart in my face buddy.
389
I can smell his butthole.
390
Bye bye.
391
I'm gonna feed the lemurs.
392
No, I need this one for you.
393
This one for you.
394
Okay buddy, you're done.
395
No more.
396
Reach.
397
You know, Madagascar might be a poor country, but it is so rich in wildlife.
398
So cool that lemurs only exist here in the whole world.
399
When I looked up how lemurs were able to get to Madagascar because we're on an island, around 200 million years ago when Madagascar was connected to East Africa and India,
400
Pangaea, the lemurs were here and then Madagascar split and the lemurs smartly stayed in Madagascar and they basically conquered this island.
401
All over Madagascar you can find lemurs, 103 different species, and it's just a blessing to be able to see them and to experience them in their natural habitat.
402
Nosy Bee is built for tourists, but I didn't come here just to film the pretty parts.
403
I'm ready to experience the local neighborhoods and markets and see what life looks like for the people who actually live here.
404
We are in Hellville, Noziby.
405
Hellville is actually the name of the biggest city here.
406
Hi, Deanna.
407
Hi.
408
How are you?
409
Good.
410
She's so happy because she's holding her Aperil spritz to go in a cup.
411
That's the cup that they gave her.
412
It's a plastic bottle.
413
Being here, it's actually like a pretty bustling city.
414
There's a lot of yellow tuk-tuks, which reminds me of India.
415
And the people's faces here, they feel quite different than Antananarivo.
416
They actually are a lot more like East African faces, which makes sense because we're closer to East Africa and they settled here over the years.
417
So Noziby is actually a very touristy island, but it's only a certain kind of tourist.
418
It's mostly French.
419
It attracts an older crowd.
420
You don't really see like younger English speakers here.
421
Actually not at all.
422
There's no English level, it's just French.
423
I will say it feels very safe here in this part of Madagascar.
424
You don't have to look over your shoulder, like in the capital, and everyone's really friendly.
425
These markets are nothing like the ones in Atanaribo.
426
So I have to accept Nosy B for what it is, a place to relax.
427
Someone told me there's a golf course on the island, and if you know me, there's no chance I'm skipping that.
428
So I got a little problem here.
429
My ball's on the green, and there's an obstacle in front of it, and that is literally cow shit.
430
So I'm not sure what the ruling is, if anyone on the PGA Tour is listening to me right now.
431
If there's cow shit in the way from your ball to the hole, what do you do?
432
Should I just putt over it?
433
Fuck it, I'll putt over it.
434
Playing golf in Nosy B feels ridiculous in the middle of Madagascar, but it also explains the entire island.
435
Tourism has been one of Madagascar's biggest bets for jobs and foreign currency.
436
But the real question is, does that money reach regular people or does it stay in a bubble?
437
As soon as I leave the golf course, Deanna and I hop on a boat to see where the tourist dollars really go.
438
Okay, we are actually fucking hauling ass right now.
439
We must be going like 60 miles an hour.
440
Like a cheetah.
441
When I met Diana 10 years ago we made a video on the beach.
442
Then we're gonna redo it 10 years later in Madagascar.
443
Ready?
444
Uh-huh.
445
Woo!
446
Woo!
447
Woo!
448

449

450

451
Does it remind you of home?
452
Yeah.
453
We're just home, yeah.
454
Madagascar is perfect.
455

456

457
This is like one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen.
458
Yeah.
459
Incredible.
460
It's crazy because you have done all the country in the world.
461
While we're on this beautiful beach, I want to take a second to tell you about a company that Deanna's been building for the last two years.
462

534
There's a big community of kids who are selling and they all know each other and they look out for each other.
535
She just gave him shoes because she noticed he wasn't wearing shoes.
536
Have you ever eaten here?
537

538

539
But we go to the security, we ask or we can or we not can we're gonna eat at this restaurant me

575
We loaded up with school supplies and some fresh shoes and some clothes.
576
We are now going to Chris Hanno's house.
577
He lives like way off the beaten path of all the tourists in this like little alleyway.
578
It's really cool.
579
local area.
580
Kids out playing, little houses here.
581
It's a very, very communal feeling, this neighborhood.
582
Hi.
583
Hi.
584
Hey, show your mom what you got.
585
Show your mom what you got.
586
Show your mom what you got.
587
This is my wife, Deanna.
588
Oh, hi Deanna, nice to meet you.
589
This is your tablet, you're losing.
590
That's your bag.
591
So he chose that bag for you.
592
Thank you.
593
Hi, Deanna.
594
Cristiano, can we have a tour of your house?
595
Yeah, come on.
596
As soon as you walk in the house, this is the first section here.
597
Everything is made of wood.
598
We've got a tin roof.
599
You notice there are holes, which means when it rains, there's huge floods here.
600
And you've got one bed here.
601
Hooking some things up here.
602
So this would be considered like the main living room, and then this is the bedroom.
603
Let's go meet his family and see who's in there.
604
This is my TV.
605
And this is the...
606
We'll take both.
607
Yeah.
608
Nice.
609
Where's your clothes?
610
My clothes are like here. Where do you sleep?
611
I sleep...
612
Here?
613
Here?
614
You really sleep there?
615
Yeah.
616
That's cute!
617
You have your own fort there.
618
So how many are you in this house?
619
You, your mom, your dad?
620
Your dad is here?
621
Your mom left him.
622
Oh, okay.
623
So how many people sleep in this house?
624
What?
625
Um, almost.
626
That was nine.
627
Ten?
628
Oh, oh my god!
629
Thank you!
630
Oh, that's so cute. For beach.
631
We are not heading to the bathroom.
632
Okay, this is the shower room, which smells like poop, but I guess it's where the shower is, so they dig buckets and they go here.
633
Okay?
634
Yep.
635
So these are all Cristiano's friends here, but he's the only one that speaks English.
636
It's crazy how, hi, ciao, ciao!
637
It's crazy how he's excelled over all of them.
638
Damn, just strolling around Cristiano's village, it's so beautiful and peaceful, and it's crazy that when you walk five minutes onto the main road,
639
road you enter this like slimy nightlife district that reminds you of Bangkok
640
and all these tourist shops and people trying to scam you
641
and then here is like this beautiful peaceful zone not to
642
mention the beach is like five minute walk from here this
643
is totally local life here in Madagascar behind me is a well
644
which I just realized it's nice that they have it
645
but you have to tie a string around a bucket
646
and go all the way down like 15 feet grab the water
647
and bring it up this is shower water this is drinking water this is cooking water
648
so next time you turn on your sink at home just remember there's a lot of people around the world
649
that still live like this.
650
Each of these homes has seven eight nine ten or more people living inside of them.
651
People just sleeping all over the different rooms and the toilets are communal out here.
652
As many tourism dollars are coming into Nozib.
653
It appears that they're not benefiting the local communities here.
654
This is a tough reality not only here in Nozib but all over the world in touristy areas around the Caribbean, Bali.
655
Maybe here is a little bit more impoverished but still it's just a sad reality of how the world works.
656
I came to Madagascar to learn and observe its culture
657
and try to understand what it means to live on the world's poorest island
658
and nothing hits harder than walking through this village and seeing the poverty up close.
659
It's unfortunate that corruption has held this country back for years but the people I met are still full of strength, kindness, and love.
660
Kids like Cristiano give me optimism for the future.
661
He shows up to school and work every day and still talks about his dreams with a big smile.
662
Madagascar is It's unbelievably beautiful and my hope is that as more travelers come here, tourism dollars actually reach the local communities who need them most.
663
I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who welcomed me here.
664
This country has been overlooked for far too long and it's about time that the world finally sees it.

「5 Days in Madagascar | World's Poorest Island」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。
毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。
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。
