シャドーイング練習: I won't make tutorial videos anymore. Here is what I will do instead - 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 decided to stop posting any tutorials or AI content on my channel.
2
And in this video I want to share with you my thoughts why I'm doing that and what I will post instead.
3
You probably saw on YouTube that most developers who were posting tutorial videos stopped doing that after AI.
4
And there were lots of developers' channels and they either stopped posting completely or they started posting about something completely different,
5
like for example creating their own projects.
6
And the answer here is simple.
7
With AI people stopped using YouTube, for example, or courses in order to obtain knowledge.
8
It is much simpler to do that through AI.
9
And essentially my point of view that this is not always a best approach
10
because sometimes from one single big video you can grasp the whole understanding of some big feature like for example purchases.
11
But obviously in most cases AI is just enough for developers to fix their problems,
12
implement features and they don't need all these courses and tutorials anymore.
13
This is why developer tutorials on YouTube are essentially dead.
14
From all content creators that I followed, only one or two, which are really big one, continue posting, but even for them,
15
the views amount that they are getting is 3 or 5 times less.
16
Some of developers switch to post AI content instead of tutorials, but I find it quite boring, and it doesn't really bring a lot of views.
17
But the main problem here is the income.
18
Most developers who are posting on YouTube for their community have some courses or programs that they are selling.
19
And this is how they can support their family and continue producing content.
20
Because essentially, as you can understand, it takes lots of time to produce every single video.
21
And after AI came out and all people started using it, the amount of people who are buying my courses dropped significantly.
22
So it is not enough for me to continue doing what I was doing.
23
And additionally to that I don't think that doing tutorials make sense anymore if all people just don't need them.
24
This is why my idea for this year was to try something new and check different things using my experience.
25
And like a lot of other developers who were youtubers I looked on creating own projects because this is what makes sense.
26
You already have some skills of programming so building something uses your skills.
27
At the beginning of the year I tried mobile development
28
because I saw some posts on Twitter about people who have their own portfolio of small mobile apps.
29
It didn't go well because the problem there is the same.
30
The amount of mobile apps is significantly larger nowadays because of AI, so without good marketing it is extremely difficult to get some customers
31
and my applications got several purchases but nothing significant this is why after
32
that in summer i tried game development first of all
33
because it was always interesting for me and i spent countless hours playing games
34
when i was younger so my focus for the second half of this year is game development
35
and this is exactly the type of content
36
that you can expect on this channel further i won't post
37
videos two times a week it will be more like two times per month
38
so now I essentially work on my first game and I already had some decent progress.
39
Again, no design or game development experience before, just programming knowledge.
40
So I hope you will still like to follow my channel, even if it goes from the direction of tutorials more to creating and building stuff.

このレッスンで学べること

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • tutorial:チュートリアル、入門講座

シャドーイングのコツ

この動画のスピードは普通で、話し手の感情(困惑、決意、期待)がよく伝わってきます。shadowing siteを使って練習する際は、まず動画を1~2回聴いて全体の流れを把握し、次に1文ずつ止めながらシャドーイングをしてみましょう。特に「I don't think that doing tutorials make sense anymore」のような否定文のイントネーションや、「Again, no design or game development experience before」のような強調の仕方に注目して、発音を真似ることで英語の発音を良くすることができます。shadow speechの練習では、話し手のペースに合わせて口を動かすことが重要です。最初はゆっくりでも大丈夫ですから、繰り返し練習して自然な発話に慣れましょう。shadowspeaksのような方法で、自分の声を録音して原音と比較することもおすすめです。

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。
