1
If somebody cannot project their ideas to me succinctly, I instantly just dislike them.
2
Because maybe I have ADHD, maybe I'm too busy, I don't know what it is, but I don't have time for your ums and ahs.
3
I don't have time for it.
4
So if I'm sitting in a meeting and somebody goes, um, so, uh, we're going to start with, um, and this is how people speak.
5
You're a full-grown man and you can't finish a sentence without saying um or ah, and the only language you know you've been speaking it for
6
14 years it bothers me it's a pet peeve of mine it irks me occasionally we make mistakes but
7
if you actually listen to most people speak that's how most
8
people communicate with the world you wonder why you can't convince
9
a girl sleeping um um you're nice um dummy you're a dummy no wonder you can't You can't make any money.
10
You're an idiot.
11
This is people, though.
12
Ah, man and ah on their way through life.
13
It boulders me.
14
When people come to pitch me, if they say ahm or ahm too much in the first sentence, it's over.
15
Sorry, sir.
16
When you learn to talk English, when you learn to speak, it might give you another chance.
17
Goodbye.
18
So you're right.
19
The ability to project the thoughts inside of your mind in a way
20
that other people can digest and is also entertaining is massively a superpower.
21
How do you develop that superpower?
22
It's not through practice.
23
People think it's practice.
24
Practice doesn't make perfect.
25
Because you can practice a really bad habit and get really good at a really shit thing.
26
Absolutely.
27
The person who ums and ahs at 48 has been practicing his whole life.
28
He's practiced just fine.
29
He's great.
30
Feedback is what's important.
31
You have to analyze.
32
I'll give you an example.
33
When I was playing chess as a kid, I would play chess for two hours a day training under my father.
34
One hour would be play, one hour would be going back through the games and analyzing the games.
35
I always enjoyed playing, but I hated analyzing.
36
But it was the analysis that made me better.
37
And I can prove that now, because when I was eight or nine, I think my rating was around 1,500.
38
Now, I've been playing Blitz.
39
I play three-minute chess online.
40
For 20 years, ever since I was a child, and my rating is 79.
41
I've gotten no better in 20 years because I don't watch my games back.
42
I don't analyze them.
43
I don't look where I made mistakes.
44
I just play.
45
That's the problem.
46
So when people speak, they just speak.
47
They don't watch themselves back.
48
I'm gonna watch this podcast ten times.
49
I'm gonna identify every single time I stuttered or made a mistake or didn't use the word I should have used.
50
and then people are going to ask me, how do I speak the way I speak?
51
Why do my podcasts get the most views?
52
Because I'm a professional.
53
If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it properly.
54
That's why.
55
Most people will do a podcast and they'll just sit there
56
and they'll just talk shit and then they'll finish it and they'll go on with their brokie day and be a brokie.
57
But it's very interesting what you said about speech because that also ties back to my current predicament.
58
This is the first time in my adult life I can't use my superpower because my superpower is talking.
59
If you were to put me in front of someone
60
and give me an hour to convince them that I could rip out their throat with my little finger, I guarantee by the end they'd be afraid.
61
We both know I've brought him a couple.
62
By the end, part of them, we think.
63
He's confident.
64
I can't talk in court because I don't speak.
65
It's very weird for me.
66
I became acutely aware of my superpower because I'm going through this process and my voice is talking about it.
67
And I'm like, why am I so frustrated with this?
68
And one day it dawned on me, ah, I don't get to talk.
69
When I get to talk, this is how much of a superpower speaking is, when I get to talk, it's fine.
70
I could have talked to the ocean out of freezing me to death on the Titanic.
71
I could have literally said listen, bro But on that's perfect Cassie, but I could have ran my mouth and I would have you know,
72
it was warmed up for me I'm that guy.
73
I can't talk now.
74
So it's very frustrating So it's interesting you say how it's a superpower It certainly is
75
because I've even realized it in this current predicament I mean how important is to be able to speak
76
when you've lost it because you've lost it like if you lost your hand Yeah, that's right exactly because I've lost it
77
and the fact there are people going through the world today who want to be successful and
78
Want to have all these amazing things and they only speak English
79
and they communicate in English And they try
80
and get other people to understand their ideas in English and they can't speak English Or to lose
なぜこの動画で話す練習をするべきなのか？
言語学習者にとって、効果的なコミュニケーションスキルを磨くことは極めて重要です。この動画では、アンドリュー・テートが独自の視点からコミュニケーションの本質について語っています。特に、彼は「うーん」や「あー」という言葉で埋め尽くされる話し方を批判しており、これは多くの人が陥る罠です。動画を通じて、話の流れや意見を明確に伝える能力を身につけることで、スムーズな会話を実現することができます。これは、特に職場や社交の場で重要です。英語の発音を良くするためにも、この実践が役立つでしょう。
文法と表現の文脈
この動画では、いくつかの重要な構造が使われています。以下にその一部を紹介します：
- 「Uh」や「Um」の使用: 話者は、これらの言葉がコミュニケーションを妨げる要因であることを指摘しています。話すときに意図的に減らすことで、より明確で自信のある印象を与えることができます。
- 質問形式での表現: 「どうやってそのスーパーパワーを開発するのか？」というように、聞き手の興味を引きつける方法として質問を用いています。
- 過去の経験の引用: テートは自身のチェスの経験を通じて、必要な自己分析の重要性を強調しています。これは、学びを深めるために役立ちます。
一般的な発音の罠
動画内では以下のような発音の罠が存在します：
- 「Communication」: 英語ではこの単語の発音が難しい場合があります。「コムユニケイション」としっかり発音することで、聞き手に意図が伝わりやすくなります。
- アクセントの強調: テートの発言には強い感情が込められており、これが彼のコミュニケーションスタイルの一部となっています。感情を盛り込むことで、より効果的にメッセージを伝える技術を学ぶことができます。

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。
