シャドーイング練習: Being Your Best Friend | Short Talk by Sister Dang Nghiem | #mindfulness - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

We need to look at ourselves in the mirror each day to hold our own hands, to hold our own body,

and to say, I'm here for you.

You're okay.

You're good enough.

thank you for all the efforts you're making if you can do

that you are your own soulmate you are your own best friend

and when somebody comes along and says something like that to you oh you look beautiful you say thank you

or if somebody said oh you look ugly you're like that's your opinion

or you just smile

because you know it's not true somebody can only get you

because you let that person get to you we are the worst to ourselves We say very mean things to ourselves.

Maybe somebody in our family said mean things to us as we were growing up,

but then we are the ones who will continue those mean things, say, you're stupid, you're not good enough, you're this and that.

But we can learn to undo that and to say, thank you.

Thank you for being alive.

thank you for trying thank you for being here

I love you you are enough you are whole I no longer feel that I lack anything

I don't have to compare myself to anybody else.

You say, oh, you know, he's better than me.

You're comparing yourself.

Even when you say, oh, I'm just as good as her, you're still comparing yourself.

Whatever people have done to us, they are gone.

Let us not continue that trauma or that abuse.

Let us give ourselves a new chance every moment by coming back to the breath,

coming back to the body, being there for whatever that is arising in our thoughts and our feelings,

and to say, I love you.

I'm whole.

Keep trying.

Let's water only the good seeds in our mind.

Let not water the seed of despair, of violence, of hatred.

Let's be kind.

That to me is the deepest joy, the greatest power, the power to trust oneself,

to trust that we will not neglect ourselves, we will not abandon ourselves, we will not abuse ourselves.

When we're scared, when we're afraid, we tend to reject ourselves.

And we, of course, we reject others.

Whatever we do to ourselves, we do to others.

And whatever we do to others, surely we're doing it to ourselves else.

But if every moment you learn to embrace yourself, to be kind to yourself,

your first response is not exclusion,

is not pushing away, is not wishing the situation to be gone,

the person to be gone, yourself to be gone.

But your first response is to come back to your breath, to your body, to your feelings,

It's just to be there for them and to say, it's okay.

Whatever happens, I can be there for myself and I trust.

Because I've done it one time, I can do that again and again.

And that is a deep, deep joy, you know?

Thank you.

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。
