Hello, welcome back to English with Eleanor.
2
Today we're in the garden and having a coffee
3
and I'm going to use slow English to tell you about my experience learning languages.
4
so I have learned a few different languages
5
so far I started learning French when I was probably nine
6
or ten years old and I started learning that through classes that my school
7
offered so I didn't have any private tuition or anything like
8
that and it was just a class that was offered as part of my school day and I really liked it.
9
I don't know why but I just really enjoyed those classes
10
and the feeling of being able to say even something really basic in another language.
11
It felt amazing.
12
So when I went to secondary school,
13
aged 11, I learned French on a more regular basis there.
14
And I also started learning German.
15
I enjoyed both of those languages,
16
but when I was probably 17 I got a different teacher for German
17
and that made a huge difference to how much I enjoyed the language
18
because this teacher didn't really seem to inspire us to love the language.
19
There were also entire parts of our final exam that she didn't teach us,
20
so consequently we got fail marks in that paper,
21
even though we got better marks in the ones that she had prepared us for.
22
So this experience with this teacher and the fiasco with the exam put me off German,
23
kind of turned me a little bit against it also I
24
suppose I didn't enjoy it as much as French not only
25
because of the teacher but also because of the sound of the language German just
26
I'm sorry but it doesn't sound quite as beautiful to me as French does.
27
So I started learning Spanish in a night class.
28
So after my school I went to the college and I attended a night class
29
in Spanish so that I could get a flavor for the language
30
and I could see if it was something that I wanted to continue later.
31
So I enjoyed Spanish and because I was not having good experience with German and I really enjoyed French,
32
I decided to study French and Spanish at university.
33
So my experience studying these languages was in a quite controlled environment.
34
So I was studying in a school situation,
35
which meant that we were learning very systematically.
36
We were learning grammar and vocabulary by topic and we maybe weren't speaking a lot,
37
but we were learning the basics of how the language worked.
38
And then when I went to university,
39
there was more of the same,
40
more of the systematic learning of the language.
41
when I was about 20 I went to Geneva for my Erasmus year
42
and when I was there I stayed with a Swiss family
43
and I will never forget the first night that I spent with that family because I arrived just in time for dinner
44
and the family had three children.
45
The mom was pregnant with her fourth child and there were three children there and they were aged seven,
46
five and two.
47
And I remember the seven-year-old girl asking me a question in French and I didn't know what she was talking about.
48
It took me a bit of time to figure out what she was asking and how to answer.
49
It was about whether or not I liked organic food and I remember feeling so
50
lost because I had been studying French for like 10 years by
51
that point and at university and at school I had very good grades
52
and I was writing essays about French politics and you know deeper issues
53
but when it came to the everyday conversation and just talking casually with other people
54
that felt like the hardest thing I'd ever had to do
55
and now as a teacher I see that with students as well
56
because they maybe they know some of the higher level vocabulary but they really struggle
57
when it comes to just maintaining a natural conversation.
58
Now I am starting to learn Portuguese.
59
I'm learning Portuguese in a different way.
60
I'm learning Portuguese in a different way because I am learning it in a more communicative way.
61
From the students that I have had,
62
I have seen that there are basically two types of learners.
63
There are the learners who learn very systematically and they're afraid to speak
64
if they don't know the grammar perfectly or they don't know the vocabulary that they feel they need.
65
So this fear of not being perfect almost prevents them from communicating.
66
And then there are the other people who have no fear of communicating and they can talk and talk and talk.
67
But it's not grammatically accurate and maybe they don't have the correct vocabulary.
68
but they learn to communicate earlier and I think
69
that gives them the confidence to continue learning and continue communicating and building and that confidence is very motivational.
70
So with Portuguese I am learning not systematically at all because
71
if you asked me to do a grammar exercise I would probably be lost
72
but I can maintain a basic level of conversation with a person who is a native speaker when I need to.
73
And so it has been really interesting for me to compare these two ways of learning
74
because they both have pros and cons.
75
And I think it's probably best,
76
like in most situations, to find a middle ground
77
and to find a situation where you have enough confidence to communicate
78
but you are still concerned about the way that you are speaking
79
and the grammar that you are using and the vocabulary that you need.
80
So it's not easy to find this middle ground and it takes practice.
81
It's always good to have people to talk to so
82
that you can practice your language and it's even better if they are people who are
83
sympathetic and understanding and who you know aren't going to laugh at your mistakes
84
or criticize you for not being perfect
85
so i don't know about you i don't know what your language learning experience has been like.
86
Maybe you can identify with one of these types of learners that I was talking about.
87
Let me know in the comments because I'm curious and let me know what languages you have been learning.
88
Probably English but maybe there are others too.
89
So let me know in the comments.

I'd love to hear from you and don't forget to hit like and subscribe and I'll see you next time.

Thank you.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
このビデオでは、エレノアが自身の言語学習の経験について語っています。彼女の話を通じて、英語でのコミュニケーションの重要性や、言語を学ぶ過程で直面する挑戦について学ぶことができます。特に、エレノアがフランス語やドイツ語、スペイン語を学ぶ中で得た感情や反応は、学習者にとって共感できるものです。ビデオを見ながら話す練習をすることで、shadow speakを活用し、自然な会話のリズムやイントネーションを習得できます。これは英語の発音を良くするために非常に効果的な方法です。
文法と表現の文脈
エレノアの話の中で使われているいくつかの重要な文法構造や表現を見てみましょう。
- 過去形の使用: エレノアは自分の言語学習の経験を振り返る際に過去形を多く使用しています。例えば、「私はフランス語を学び始めた」という表現は、時制の使い方を学ぶ良い例です。
- 感情を表す表現: 「私はそれを本当に楽しんでいました」というフレーズは、感情を表す力強い表現です。これはIELTSスピーキング対策にも役立ちます。
- 比較級: 「ドイツ語の音はフランス語ほど美しくない」という比較の表現は、言語のニュアンスを伝えるのに重要です。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
エレノアの話の中には、発音が難しい単語やフレーズがいくつかあります。特に、フランス語やドイツ語の音は、英語話者にとって挑戦的です。以下は注意が必要なポイントです：
- フランス語の「R」の音: 英語では「R」の音は硬いですが、フランス語ではより滑らかです。
- ドイツ語の母音: ドイツ語では母音が多くの言語学習者にとって難しい場合があります。特に、üやöの発音に注意が必要です。
- イントネーション: 特に質問文でのイントネーションは、正確に理解するために非常に重要です。
これらのポイントを意識しながら、エレノアのビデオを見て、自分でも声を出してみることをお勧めします。shadow speechを通じて、リスニングだけでなくスピーキング能力も向上させることができます。
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。
