レッスンを作成中...
1
Good afternoon everyone, welcome to Tokyo.
2
This is our little apartment that we're staying in.
3
Albie is here for three months
4
because he is in Japanese language school learning some Japanese and I'm here just having a blast.
5
Every weekday Albie has class
6
so I will have like four hours every single day to just like do what I need to do
7
and I feel like Japan
8
or Tokyo is a really safe city to travel solo especially as a woman so I'm gonna go out and do stuff.
9
I'm also a huge introvert so the fact
10
that like no one bothers you no one talks to you
11
while you're just out and about by yourself it's like an introvert's dream over here so let's rock and roll
12
I'm going
13
to go to the next video.
14
0 to 10?
15
10. Out of 20?
16
Out of 10.
17
Out of 20?
18
20?
19
What the heck was that?
20
Oh, I was talking into this.
21
Good afternoon, everyone.
22
I have my yogurt drink, milk-rich flavor.
23
What does that mean?
24
Nobody knows, but it's provocative.
25
So provocative that we bought it because we didn't know what it meant.
26
You know what I'm saying?
27
Here are our outfits of the day.
28
we are going to a neighborhood in Tokyo today called Kuenji.
29
If this is your style, this vibe, you know, like Ivy preppy style, this is the neighborhood that you need to be going to.
30
There is so many like Ralph Lauren Americana shops.
31
So it's really nice.
32
And there's also my favorite store.
33
Yes.
34
He got some really nice Alden loafers there.
35
I would like to see
36
if I can find a pair of loafers for myself they only have men's shoes
37
but japanese men's shoe sizes tend to be smaller
38
and narrower than western men's sizing so i'm hoping
39
that i can find something for me that would be very exciting for me
40
so let's get going let's go take a long we love fun say
41
say tara now manga people that are now manga people period No.
42
So we randomly came across this, well I guess not randomly, we pursued it.
43
We found it on Google Maps, but it was like a banh mi place called Banh Mi By Me.
44
Cute.
45
And it was like this couple in like this little shop and the food was actually super good.
46
I got a chicken banh mi with peanut sauce and sesame sauce, or a peanut sesame sauce, and it was so good.
47
I loved it.
48
What did you get?
49
I think I got like the traditional pate roast pork.
50
It's really good.
51
Oh, that was a kid.
52
I was like, what the hell is that?
53
I was like, what the hell is that?
54
Yes.
55
And then I also got a Vietnamese iced coffee, you know, with condensed milk.
56
I gotta have that.
57
And now I feel much better.
58
Now you can actually vlog.
59
You have the energy?
60
Yes.
61
So now we're going to vintage shops.
62
This neighborhood is particularly famous for its vintage shop with Shimokitazawa But I think Koenji is a bit nicer.
63
Shimokitazawa has become a bit touristy while here there's some really good shops particularly
64
if you like like Ivy Yeah there's a lot of really cool shops over here Probably
65
because I have a camera with the microphone out so

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。
