Hello everyone!
2
Welcome back to 5-Minute English Practice.
3
I'm Jessica and today we are going to practice a very useful real-life English conversation.
4
Recently I found a yoga studio near my apartment and I already joined a few trial classes.
5
I really enjoyed the atmosphere,
6
the teachers, and the relaxing environment.
7
So today I decided to visit the studio again and ask about membership prices and registration details.
8
If you ever want to join a gym,
9
yoga studio, or fitness club in English-speaking environments,
10
this conversation will help you a lot.
11
Let's begin.
12
Hi, good afternoon.
13
Good afternoon.
14
Welcome back.
15
How can I help you today?
16
Thank you.
17
I joined a few trial yoga classes last week,
18
and I really like them.
19
I'm interested in becoming a member,
20
so I'd like to ask about the membership options and prices.
21
Of course, I'm happy to help.
22
First of all, I'm glad you enjoyed the classes.
23
Are you looking for a short-term membership or something long-term?
24
I'm not completely sure yet.
25
I'd like to know the different options first.
26
No problem.
27
Right now, we have three main membership plans.
28
We have a monthly membership,
29
a three-month membership, and a yearly membership.
30
Okay, what's the difference between them?
31
The monthly membership costs $80 per month.
32
It gives you unlimited access to all regular yoga classes.
33
The three-month membership costs $210, so it's a little cheaper overall.
34
And the yearly membership costs $720.
35
which saves the most money in the long run.
36
I see.
37
So the longer membership is more affordable.
38
Exactly.
39
Many members choose the yearly plan because they come regularly.
40
Are all yoga classes included in the membership?
41
Most classes are included, yes.
42
That includes beginner yoga, flow yoga,
43
stretching, meditation, and evening relaxation classes.
44
However, workshops and private sessions are not included.
45
Oh, I understand.
46
What about the Weekend classes.
47
Weekend classes are included too.
48
That's good.
49
I usually have more free time on weekends.
50
Then our schedule would probably work well for you.
51
I also wanted to ask about class reservations.
52
Do members need to book classes in advance?
53
Yes.
54
We recommend booking classes early,
55
especially evening and weekend classes,
56
because they can become full quickly.
57
How do I make reservations?
58
You can use our mobile app or website.
59
Once you become a member,
60
we'll help you create an account.
61
That sounds convenient.
62
It's very simple to use.
63
I'm still a beginner, so honestly,
64
I feel a little nervous sometimes during yoga classes.
65
Don't worry about that at all.
66
Many of our members are beginners.
67
Our instructors are very friendly and always help new students feel comfortable.
68
That's nice to hear.
69
The instructors during the trial classes were very patient.
70
I'm glad you had a good experience.
71
I also wanted to ask if there's a registration fee.
72
Yes, there's a one-time registration fee of $25 for new members.
73
Okay, are yoga mats included or do I need to bring my own?
74
You can bring your own mat if you want,
75
but we also provide yoga mats and towels for free.
76
Oh, that's very helpful.
77
Yes, many members prefer not to carry extra things.
78
Another question.
79
What happens if I want to pause my membership for a while?
80
For example, if I travel for work.
81
That's possible.
82
Members can freeze their membership for up to one month per year with no extra charge.
83
Really?
84
That's great!
85
You just need to inform us in advance.
86
Okay, and if I move to another area later,
87
can I cancel my membership?
88
Yes, but cancellation policies depend on the membership type.
89
Monthly memberships are easier to cancel because they renew month by month.
90
For longer memberships, there may be cancellation conditions.
91
I see.
92
That makes sense.
93
We always explain all the terms clearly before registration.
94
Good.
95
I appreciate that.
96
Would you like me to show you the class schedule as well?
97
Yes, please.
98
Here you are.
99
Morning classes start at 7 a.m and evening classes continue until 8.30 p.m.
100
Wow.
101
There are many choices.
102
Yes, we try to offer flexible schedules for working people.
103
I think evening classes would work best for me after work.
104
Many members choose evening sessions for relaxation after busy days.
105
That's exactly what I need.
106
My job can be stressful sometimes.
107
Yoga is great for stress relief and improving flexibility.
108
Honestly, after the trial classes,
109
I already felt more relaxed and slept better.
110
That's wonderful.
111
Consistent practice can make a big difference.
112
I believe that.
113
Before joining the trial classes,
114
I spent too much time sitting at my desk and using my phone.
115
A lot of people feel the same way these days.
116
Yes, I think I need healthier habits.
117
Yoga can definitely help with that.
118
I think I'm interested in the three-month membership for now.
119
Great choice.
120
It's very popular with new members.
121
What do I need to register?
122
Just your ID, phone number, and email address.
123
The registration process only takes a few minutes.
124
Okay, can I pay by card?
125
Yes, we accept both card and cash payments.
126
Perfect.
127
Would you like to complete the registration today?
128
Yes, I think I'm ready.
129
Wonderful.
130
Please fill out this form first.
131
Sure.
132
And after registration, we'll help you download the app and book your first class as a member.
133
Sounds good.
134
Thank you so much for answering all my questions.
135
You're very welcome.
136
We're excited to have you here.
137
Thank you.
138
I'm excited too.
139
I hope you enjoy your yoga journey with us.
140
I hope so too.
141
I hope you enjoyed today's conversation and learned some useful English expressions for asking about memberships,
142
prices, and registration information.
143
These kinds of conversations are very common in everyday life,
144
especially when joining gyms, fitness centers, or yoga studios.
145
Try practicing the dialogue out loud to improve your speaking and listening skills.
146
Thank you so much for joining me today.

練習のヒント
この動画の会話は比較的スムーズでリラックスしたトーンで行われています。shadowspeakを使って練習することで、英語の発音を良くすることができます。特に、声のトーンやリズムを合わせることに注意を払い、ゆっくりと繰り返すと効果的です。また、YouTubeで英語学習を進める際には、会話文を一文ずつブレイクダウンして理解し、口に出して練習することをお勧めします。自分の声を録音して比べることで、発音の改善も期待できます。ぜひ、shadowspeaksの技法を使って、より自然な会話ができるように練習してください。
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。
