シャドーイング練習: I Tried Becoming An LA Girl For A Day - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
So, I am in LA, which means that I want to experience life as a real LA girl.
2
So today, I'm going to be doing things that only proper LA girls do.
3
And the first one is we're going to go on a morning hike.
4
And this is how an LA girl starts her morning.
5
Now, I fear as my time in America continues, I continue to turn into an LA girl
6
because this Runyon Kenyon hike is something that I've actually picked up and I enjoy doing literally every single day.
7
And it's hard, it's hard.
8
But beware, the entrance stinks like piss.
9
Certain things in LA just become trendy.
10
Since the first time I've been to America, things have definitely changed.
11
But I would say consistently going on a hike is a very LA morning girly thing to do.
12
I see a lot of baddies on this walk and their cute fits.
13
By the way, my fit is spotty and rich because this walk is not just a health and fitness walk.
14
It's a fashion walk.
15
And if you get compliments on your workout gear, you're winning in life, okay?
16
So no complaining.
17
Keep walking because if you're fit, you're hot.
18
So that's the LA mentality that I've experienced, which I love because health is wealth.
19
And I love that people here embrace fitness.
20
Let me tell you, not easy.
21
But yeah, it's also scalding hot.
22
I'm sweating.
23
I'm sweating.
24
I'm struggling.
25
But you know what's at the top of here that makes this all LA girl worth it?
26
An Instagram photo, so let's go.
27
That's the top.
28
One thing that I love about LA, I actually do love it because it makes life really interesting.
29
Like, I know it's just a hike, but every day you see something unimaginable, something different.
30
You see characters that you could only imagine in a video game as an NPC.
31
Um, and today, two fire trucks have spawned in.
32
Um, so it's really fun.
33
Gameplay.
34
Yeah, crazy.
35
What's going on?
36
I've never seen this before.
37
Everyone's just walking past like nothing's going on.
38
Oh my god.
39
I think someone fell down.
40
No. No, they're using the clips to pull someone back up.
41
Word.
42
Um, I hope everyone's okay.
43
What the hell?
44
Well, we must go on.
45
It's the time of the hike.
46
I'm sweating.
47
We're almost at the top.
48
There's the steepest incline, so I'm preparing myself.
49
It's all worth it for the selfie.
50
Oh my god.
51
I've made it. So stop.
52
I'm really out of breath today.
53
Come look, this is the view.
54
Come over here.
55
Here's the real treat.
56
This is the money shot if you want an Instagram post.
57
Hollywood sign.
58
I can make fun of these photos because I do them.
59
Okay, alright, let's go.
60
Back down the mountain.
61
So going down is the least of our worries, apart from getting shin splints.
62
But we have to rush down.
63
You know why? because we have to go get ready to do our next LA girl, woo, activity.
64
So, let's ride.
65
I am arriving at my second spot of the day, which is Air One.
66
If you don't know what Air One is, you're not from LA.
67
I don't think I knew what Air One was until, like, the second time I came here, but it's definitely a part of, like, the LA culture.
68
Like the LA, health and wellness, fitness, hot girl, healthiness, five that is it's just everything but it's
69
so ridiculously expensive as well like you guys are not prepared for like how ridiculously priced this joint is
70
when i come here to eat usually nine times out of ten it's over a hundred dollars usd
71
so it's just crazy expensive but i must say i don't know
72
if i'm biased
73
but i really like it yeah i really like the food
74
i really like the vibe i wish there was something like this in Australia I'm about to go in
75
because I'm gonna get my Ellie Erewhon smoothie usually I get the Hailey Bieber smoothie
76
which is a fan favorite of all the LA girlies
77
but I feel like today I want to try something different
78
I'm not sure what I'm gonna try I might like just
79
ask oh look someone over there has a Hailey Bieber and
80
that guy has he has a little mango one oh he
81
likes it he likes it we're in we help by the
82
way this is a new one store in West Hollywood which if If you're from LA, you've got to call it We Have.
83
I don't know why.
84
But yeah, let's go.
85
Andiamo!
86
Okay, so this is at the new Air One.
87
And as you can see, you can do it.
88
Like, you don't even have to talk to anyone.
89
You can just place an order.
90
Should I get the Malibu Mango?
91
That looks good as well.
92
That looks good.
93
Frick it.
94
I'm going to get the Malibu Mango.
95
Ooh.
96
You can see the ingredients.
97
that looks great oh shellfish at to cart maybe i should
98

99
in case i hate it uh i think that's all i'm
100
gonna get check it 42 american dollars my name is sam 20 tip
101
because i'm feeling generous all right all together for two smoothies
102
and a tip is 50 there's also a massive selection of
103
sushi this one's really good that's where you order like the
104
hot food from okay whilst i'm waiting for my drink i'm gonna show you guys some of my recommendations
105
that i love to get from air one
106
because i'm an la girl all of these chips are really
107
good my favorite are the queso i think that's them
108
or the chili lime
109
or the dill pickle this brand's just really good kale chips
110
are the best thing to ever exist in my life these mexican wedding cookies are gluten-free
111
and they're so good these coconut things also really good however
112
but these are what I get every time I die for them.
113
They are little pistachios covered in like chocolate.
114
These also are the best pistachio cups.
115
Gluten free.
116
So I have both of my drinks.
117
I'm going to try them and I'm going to rate them.
118
I don't think I've ever tasted this one, but let's taste the Hailey Bieber one that I've already had a million times.
119
That's the best one I've ever had.
120
That is made so well.
121
It's so fresh.
122
Mmm, strawberry.
123
I love it, I love it.
124
All right, let's try it.
125
The mango one.
126
This is really pretty and the cream stuff, that looks really delicious, I hope it is.
127
Mmm, it tastes like ice cream.
128
Wait, this is so good.
129
I think I just prefer this because I'm used to it.
130
Like this is the one I get every time.
131
It's really good.
132
And I like how there's like chunks in it.
133
This one, maybe I just haven't had enough of it.
134
This one's more smooth.
135
I love LA smell days.
136
Okay, next in our LA day, we have to do more LA things.
137
So let's go.
138
So first stop off to air one, I need to do some shopping.
139
So I'm going to my favorite place in LA.
140
This is kind of biased to me, but this is the worst stop.
141
I'm going to buy something today.
142
I'm manifesting it because I love this store.
143
I love how cute it is.
144
This isn't the Beverly Centaur, which is quite quiet.
145
So we've got to start our alley day with some shopping.
146
so just finished up at the webster i ended up getting
147
that really cute muu muu dress that i tried on
148
so cute they're just ordering in a small size for me um
149
so that should arrive in the next couple days
150
but yeah now i'm on la cienega boulevard let's have a
151
look the iconic trashy lingerie the iconic billboards everywhere there's definitely not as many billboards as there are on sunset
152
but it's still very much LA.
153
Melrose Avenue the famous Melrose and I don't know
154
if you can see
155
but there is the famous pink hall oh my god there's all these people taking photos
156
and that's gonna be me okay guys
157
so as you can see we are at the famous pink
158
wall of LA this is the Paul Smith store I kind of feel bad
159
because I think a lot of girlies they take the photos outside they don't go in the actual stop
160
and it is sad because I'm gonna be girls today I'm gonna take my air one
161
and I'm gonna take a pink wall photo
162
because this has been iconic since like 2014 15 16 up to this day There's people lining up taking photos there.
163
Guys, it's really nerve-wracking.
164
This is great because look at the golden hour.
165
Oh my god.
166
Pink wall moment.
167
Everyone's looking.
168
So this is what it's like to stand in front of the pink wall.
169
It's really fun.
170
With my Air One smoothie. So LA.
171
I'm an LA girl.
172
He's just waiting for the lights to go green.
173
There's way mers in LA which are the self-driving cars There's those little things
174
that I just show you they go around delivering Uber Eats and food, which is crazy LA is just very in the future speaking about food.
175
I know I had my air one smoothie, but that is not a full meal I need my LA meal which you might think oh, it's going to like a fancy restaurant
176
Which I think some LA girls would do you know going off of like Kylie Jenner and and Stossie Baby's TikToks,
177
cause they're the ultimate LA baddies.
178
What do they love to eat?
179
And what do I love to eat?
180
In-N-Out!
181
So I'm going to get my In-N-Out and I'm so excited over that.
182
The thing with In-N-Out is there is a ridiculous wait time.
183
It's like the craziest, longest drive-through you'll ever see in your life.
184
Just you wait till I get there.
185
I'm arriving at In-N-Out Burger.
186
And as you can see, The line of In-N-Out literally is coming out side of the In-N-Out onto the street.
187
These people are doing U-turns to be in the line.
188
Oh, look, a Cybertruck.
189
So, yeah, now I have to do a U-turn.
190
Also, look, an American school bus.
191
But, yes, I remember the first time I came to In-N-Out.
192
It's kind of like you have to know what to order.
193
So, I'm going to quickly Google because I have been getting every dime.
194
Hi, how are you?
195
Hi.
196
Good, how are you?
197
Good, thank you.
198
Could I please do two double doubles? protein style, add grilled onions, and could both of them have a gluten allergy?
199
We'll also do two flying Dutchman with cheese and grilled onion on the top and the bottom.
200
And then that's also a gluten allergy.
201
And then could we do two animal style fries with the little yellow chilies?
202
Two animal style fries with the chilies on top?
203
Yeah.
204
And then we'll do extra In-N-Out sauce on the side.
205
Perfect.
206
That's all.
207
What are we all for you today?
208
God, it's really intense ordering.
209
I should have done it in an American accent.
210
I just don't have confidence.
211
That's a lot of food and only $43 American though.
212
So that's like $70 trillion.
213
I don't know.
214
I'm not good at math.
215
Yeah, so you order with them coming to your window, which is really fun.
216
And then you wait in line and then you pay at the window.
217
They repeat your order make sure everything's good and then they give you the order.
218
It's great cuz they do it They do gluten allergy sometimes.
219
I do get sore stomach But hopefully I won't and sometimes I got the water so it's annoying.
220
Okay.
221
I have my in-and-out order Let's dig in this is genuinely
222
really good I kind of hated it the first time I tried it, but the more you eat in-and-out the better it gets I don't know there's something about it.
223
Okay.
224
What should we have that?
225
I also have a box.
226
What's in the box?
227
I have the animal style fries.
228
Oh you guys this is like so American.
229
I'm gonna have the grilled Filet Dutchman first because this is what gets me going the most.
230
I have formed an unhealthy obsession with onions this year I don't know what it is about onions, but they're just delicious.
231
I'm putting the In-N-Out sauce on my onion burger Oh my god, oh my god.
232
Burger wrapped in onions Genuinely, I think the best thing I've ever eaten.
233
Oh, I hate this is so good If I could eat this every day, I would.
234
This is the best thing I will.
235
I'm so happy right now.
236
The palm trays in the back, meeting in and out.
237
This is my best life.
238
Alright, now I have a crispy, cold, sparkling water. So crisp.
239
Time for my second burger.
240
I have a double double with tomato, grilled onions, this should be.
241
I don't know what I prefer.
242
This burger or the last one?
243
This one's a lot more fresh.
244
Obviously, it has the fresher ingredients, the tomato.
245
I think they did figure- I asked for grilled onions in this and they forgot them.
246
I don't think I've ever put them in when I've asked.
247
My mind is more hungry than my body.
248
I wish this was in Australia, oh my god.
249
The only fast food I really get anymore in Australia is grilled.
250
They offer like really good gluten-free options and it's actually gluten-free without cross-contamination.
251
Already I feel like my tummy's a little bit sore from this but it's worth it because it tastes so good.
252
We'll see if I get puppy in the morning.
253
I also think the burger options at In-N-Out really outshine the chips.
254
I don't love the In-N-Out chips.
255
That's why I'm kind of like getting full on the burgers first.
256
And then I'll see if I want the chips or the fries.
257
Sorry.
258
It's also interesting.
259
A lot of the items at In-N-Out are on a secret menu.
260
So you kind of have to like Google things before you go to know what to get.
261
Like, I don't know.
262
I don't love the chips.
263
They do have the chopped grilled onions and the special In-N-Out sauce on top.
264
I do like it better with the chilies.
265
If I could describe the fries, they're just very...
266
They taste like real potato, which obviously to some people is a benefit.
267
They are a little cardboardy texture-wise.
268
Like, they're a bit stiff.
269
I honestly think that the most elite chips are like McDonald's chips, but they have to be hot, salted at the perfect amount.
270
But when you get a good Macca's chip, it's like incomparable to anything else.
271
It is rare to get a good McDonald's chip though.
272
But yeah, that's my Allie girl In-N-Out order.
273
I'm so full, I can't finish my fries.
274
But yeah, I need some time to decompress and digest.
275
In-N-Out meal.
276
So as you can see it is now the night time
277
and as an LA girl it is obviously time for me to go out to the club.
278
That's the last activity of my LA day so let's go.
279
Let's go!
280
Party so hard!
281
Party so hard!
282
It's just me.
283
It's just me.
284
It's just me.
285
It's just me.
286
It's just me.
287
It's just me.
288
It's just me.
289
It's just me.
290
Anyways, that was my day as an LA girly.
291
I hope you guys enjoyed because I certainly did.
292
Love you guys so much.
293
See you in the next one.
294
Bye.

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。
