16
It's not favorite.
17

18
It's definitely my favorite hobby.
19
Every morning when I go for a run, I feel so fresh and alive.
20
Every morning, when I, when I, when I, we want to connect the n together with the I, when I.
21
Go for a run.
22
It's a little bit hard to say for a run, but that's how we reduce for a.
23
Go for a run.
24
Go for a run.
25
I feel so fresh and alive.
26
It also wakes me up.
27
It also.
28
That T turns into a tap.
29
It also.
30
It also.
31
It also.
32
It also wakes me up, me up.
33
When we connect those two words, we add a ya, wakes me up, me up.
34
It also wakes me up and gets me ready for the day ahead.
35
And gets, and gets, we don't say the duh here for and.
36
And gets me ready for the day ahead.
37
the for the we connect those two words together
38
and we delete the vowel in for for the for the
39
day ahead now we'll connect those vowels day day ahead there's already a y written there
40
but we want to connect the sounds together instead of saying
41
day ahead day ahead day ahead ready for the day ahead
42
i usually go running alone but when i started running in high school usually we don't say
43
usually it's usually i usually go running alone but when i
44
but when i that t in but turns into a glottal stop
45
but when i and again we'll connect when i the na
46
and i connect together but when i When I started running in high school, I was part of a track team.
47
Part of a.
48
So we'll connect part of a together as if it's almost one word.
49
Part of a.
50
Part of a.
51
That T turns into a tap, and the vowels connect together.
52
Part of a.
53
Part of a track team.
54
Since I run alone now, since I run alone now, run a, the N and the A connect together,
55
run alone now, and now alone ends with a N sound, and now begins with a N sound, so we'll connect those together.
56
Run alone now.
57
It's totally up to me.
58
Up to.
59
Up to me.
60
We've reduced the vowel in to.
61
Up to me.
62
It's totally up to me where I want to run.

Want to turns into wanna.
64
Where I want to run.
65
It's totally up to me where I want to run.
66
And I like to.
67

That K in like to disappears, and it connects with the to to become like to.
70
Like to.
71
And I like to.
72
And I like to vary my roots, so I don't just get in the habit.
73
Get in the.
74
Get in the.
75
Now, the T in get turns into a glottal stop.
76
Get in the habit.
77
and the N in IN and the TH in THE connect.
78
Get in the habit.
79
Get in the.
80
Get in the.
81
Get in the habit.
82
Get in the habit of running the same way every time.
83
Again, the Y is written here, so we want to connect those vowels together.
84
Same way every time.
85
Way every.
86
The same way every time.
87
Running is healthy for me because it keeps my heart and lungs strong and active.
88
Healthy for me.
89
for that vowel gets reduced healthy for me
90
because it keeps will connect those sounds together and we'll make
91
that T into a cloddle stop because it keeps
92
because it keeps my heart and lungs strong and active heart lungs the vowel and the D in AND disappear.
93
Heart and lungs.
94

103
Since I run alone now, it's totally up to me where I want to run, and I like to vary my routes so I don't just get in the habit of running the same way every time.
104
Running is healthy for me because it keeps my heart and lungs strong and active.
なぜこのビデオでスピーキング練習をするのか？
このビデオでは、アメリカ英語特有の「連読」に焦点を当てています。この練習によって、英語を話す際の流暢さと自然さを向上させることができます。特に、IELTS スピーキング対策として非常に有効です。ビデオで紹介される健康的な活動の話を通じて、自分自身の好きなアクティビティについても語れるようになり、自信を持って英語を話せるようになります。英語スピーキング練習の一環として、ビデオを活用することで、shadow speak（シャドースピーク）の技術を用い、リスニング力とスピーキング力を同時に鍛えることができます。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
ビデオでは以下のような重要な構文が使われています：
- Every morning - 毎朝を使って習慣を表現する際の適切な使い方。
- Love running - 動名詞を使った表現で、自分の趣味を具体的に言及する方法。
- It also wakes me up - 他の行動の効果を説明する際の便利な構文。
- Ready for the day ahead - 明日の準備ができていることを表現する際の便利なフレーズ。
これらの構文をマスターすることで、自分の興味や習慣について流暢に話せるようになります。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオでは、いくつかの発音のトラップが見られます。特に注意が必要な単語やフレーズは次のとおりです：
- Definitely - この単語は通常の発音よりもグロッタルストップ（喉の止め音）を使って発音します。
- Part of a - このフレーズでは、言葉が繋がって一つの音のように聞こえます。
- Go for a run - ここでは「for」が弱化され、よりスムーズに連結されて聞こえます。
これらのポイントに注意を払うことで、YouTubeで英語学習を通じて、より自然な英語を話すことができます。特に、shadowspeakを使用することで、発音のスムーズさを向上させることが可能です。
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。
