This video offers a unique insight into the enduring legacy of Messi at Barcelona
6
and the broader topic of dedication and emotional connection in professional sports. On this
7
final day, I was contemplating, pondering it, in order to determine the what I was going to express, what I had the ability to articulate.
8
The truth is that I couldn't do anything.
9
I was blocked, like I am now still.
10
This is extremely challenging for me after such a long period of time.
11
To do my entire life here, I was not prepared.
12
The truth is that last year when all the mess with Burfak and everything that happened, I was prepared.
13
I knew what I had to say and I was convinced, but not this year.
14
This year my family and I were convinced that we were going to stay here, that we were going to stay in our house,
15
which was exactly what we wanted the most, without a doubt, and there was no doubt in our minds about it.
16
Our top priority is always our well-being, being in the comfort of our home and continuing to savor the life we have in the vibrant city of Barcelona,
17
both through engaging in sports and embracing the beauty of everyday life, which is truly remarkable and fills us with joy.
18
However, on this day, I find myself compelled to bid a heartfelt farewell to this cherished aspect of my life
19
that has brought me so much joy and fulfillment.
20
As mentioned earlier, for many years my entire life here, I arrived at a very young age, 13 years old when I first came.
21
Following a span of 21 years, I am departing alongside my spouse,
22
accompanied by three individuals from Argentina who identify as Catalans.
23
I couldn't be prouder of everything I did, and experience in this city,
24
which I have no doubt that after being away for a few years, we will return because it is our home,
25
because I also promised it to my children. And nothing.
26
I am grateful for everything I have experienced.
27
To my teammates, to my former teammates, to all the people from the club, those who were by our side and those we don't see.
28
which are many, we cross paths very few times.
29
I was brought up with the values of this club.
30
I consistently endeavored to handle myself with humility,
31
respect and that is precisely how I conducted myself with every single person in this household.
32
I hope that is what remains of me, of the luck I had to live and give many things to the club that meant so much to me.
33
I had numerous beautiful experiences as well as some negative ones but all of those experiences contributed to my personal growth,
34
continuous improvement and the person I have become today.
35
I sacrificed everything for this club,
36
for this shirt starting from the day I first arrived and continuing until the very end.
37
In all honesty, I must admit that I am truly and completely satisfied with the outcome of the situation.
38
Thanks for the love from the people as usual.
39
I enjoyed bidding farewell in a unique manner.
40
I never envisaged my farewell because I didn't ponder it,
41
but I do not think I would have imagined it in this way or anticipated it to unfold in such a manner.
42
I had a great time doing it with individuals in the countryside, being able to hear one last ovation from them,
43
and experiencing their final affection.
44
I missed you greatly during this entire pandemic period when we couldn't play with an audience,
45
and I missed the feeling of being able to have you close.
46
The support, celebrating a goal with them, hearing an ovation that resounded and in my name.
47
Now, as I retire from this club without having witnessed it, it has been over a year and a half.
48
The truth is, if I had imagined this situation, I would have pictured it with the stadium full,
49
being able to be close to the people and properly bid them farewell.
50
However, it unfolded in this way, and I reiterate my gratitude for all the love throughout these years.
51
We have experienced both wonderful and challenging moments, but the unwavering love from the people has always remained.
52
I always sensed it.
53
I sensed the recognition, the love, as I also sensed it.
54
And this club will remain like this for the entirety of my life.
55
I hope to be able to rejoin this club in the future in any capacity
56
that may be possible for me at that time.
57
I am hopeful that I can make a valuable contribution in order to ensure
58
that this club perseveres in delivering its utmost and maintains its position as the premier club in the world.
59
I do not know in all likelihood at this moment
60
I have forgotten a lot of things I wanted to say but well, that is what I am able to say right now I am not in a good state to think
61
and have the words come out the best thing is that we move on to the question and answer session and again, simply thanks to everyone
62
Thank you.
63
Thanks for your support!

この動画で話す練習をする理由

リオネル・メッシの感動的な別れのスピーチを聴くことで、英語のスピーキング能力を向上させる絶好の機会が得られます。この動画には、彼がFCバルセロナでの20年間の旅を振り返り、感情を込めて語った内容が含まれています。感情的なテーマや個人的な経験についての表現を学ぶことで、自分の言葉で感情を伝えるスキルを養うことができます。また、英語シャドーイングの練習を通じて、発音やリズムをより自然に習得し、YouTubeで英語学習を効果的に進めることができます。

文法と表現の文脈

メッシのスピーチからは、いくつかの重要な文法構造や表現が学べます。以下はその例です：

  • "I was not prepared." - ここでは、過去形を使った自己反省の表現がされています。
  • "Our top priority is always our well-being." - 現在形を用いて、優先事項を強調しています。
  • "I am grateful for everything I have experienced." - 現在完了形を通じて、過去の経験に対する感謝の気持ちを表しています。
  • "I could not be prouder." - 条件節を使って、特定の感情を強調する手法です。

これらの文法構造を理解することで、日常生活の中で自分の意志や感情をより明確に表現できるようになります。

一般的な発音の罠

動画内で取り上げられるいくつかの単語やアクセントには注意が必要です。特に、以下の単語は発音が難しい場合があります：

  • "sacrifice" - 最初の音節が強調される点に注意しましょう。
  • "experience" - 各音節をはっきりと発音することが重要です。
  • "grateful" - 中間の「t」音を省略せずに発音しましょう。

これらの単語は、shadowspeakやshadow speakの練習にも役立ち、流暢さを向上させる手助けとなります。

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。
