Let's not beat around the bush,

get the hell out of here.

If English is not your native language,

you may think it's difficult to learn.

Well, as someone who grew up speaking English, let me just say...

Yes, yeah, you're absolutely right.

English sucks.

It's confusing, there are too many rules and too many exceptions,

I before E except on Tuesdays and during full moons or something,

the birth of my channel literally begins with a video of how I hate pronouncing the word rural.

And now, I'm gonna complain about idioms.

Idioms are a group of words established by a usage as having meaning not deducible from those of the individual words,

blah blah blah.

Basically, figures of speech, alright?

Raining cats and dogs, meaning it's raining heavily.

It's raining a lot, but it has nothing to do with cats and dogs.

Who thought of this morbid metaphor?

They could have chosen rocks,

barrels, tires, anything else that was heavy and not alive.

If someone told me it was raining tables and chairs outside,

I'd be like, Oh man,

that's some heavy rain, I should probably stay inside.

But if I found out cats and dogs were falling out of the sky,

I'd be like, what the f* are we waiting for Jeremy?

We gotta save him!

Idioms help us express simple feelings in a more illustrated and colorful way.

And yes, I did look into the origins of these sayings,

but personally some of them just don't make sense upfront.

Turn a blind eye, or refusing to acknowledge something which you know to be real.

Pretend something didn't happen.

Like when you catch your sibling trying to sneak out of the house after being grounded,

and then they threaten you not to tell on them or else they'll punch you in your sleep,

you turn a blind eye.

Also, that's blackmail.

Okay, I get the blind eye part,

but why do you need to turn it?

If you're already blind, you won't be able to see anyway whether or not you're turned.

That's redundant.

Either turn or be blind.

They both accomplish the same level of visual ignorance.

If it was turn an eye blind, now that makes sense.

Ah, it's just more morbid.

Eat your heart out to feel great sadness,

often used as a taunt towards someone to encourage jealousy or regret.

My goodness, another gruesome idiom.

It's bad enough that I have to take my heart out to be able to eat it,

but then I gotta eat it.

This expression is often used with the name of someone famous as if to make them feel jealous of your accomplishment.

Hey, what do you think of my painting?

Wow, look at that.

Eat your heart out, Michelangelo, am I right?

I'm already dead.

In a pickle, to be in a troublesome situation.

Look, you could have picked a ditch,

a well, a chimney, anything that could contain a body, but a pickle?

Hey, I got your message.

Ran as fast as I can.

What's wrong?

Just help me out, no questions asked.

It's all downhill from here,

used to signify that the situation will only get worse from that point on.

But going downhill is the best part!

Think of all the things and activities you do going downhill.

Skiing, sledding, biking, hell, walking.

None of these are fun going uphill.

I guess in its defense the idiom could mean being out of control while going downhill,

but honestly you could be out of control at any level of steepness.

I've fallen up the stairs just as much as I've fallen down them.

Tickled pink.

To be delighted.

Yo, Reggie, got anything good for your birthday?

Yeah, actually, my parents finally got me a switch.

Wow, you must be tickled pink.

Yeah, you're right, I guess it only works for white people.

Which I don't understand, because when you're dead,

you shouldn't be able to feel anything, let alone embarrassment.

Ugh, Cindy, look at her top.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something so ugly.

Ugh.

Oh, don't worry.

I'll make sure they don't find your body.

Happy as a clam, an exaggeration of happiness.

The complete idiom is actually as happy as a clam at high tide,

because that's when they're least likely to be attacked by predators,

but many go with a shortened version in reference to how clams look like they're always smiling.

Uh, nope, I disagree.

It's just the angle of which you're looking at them.

If you look at them from this angle,

it looks like they're frowning.

And rightfully so, because I like clam chowder,

and being delicious is not a compliment you should be smiling about.

Goody Two Shoes.

Used to refer to someone who always does everything right and follows the rules,

to the point of annoyance.

Often used negatively.

Well, I did you guys a favor and read the story of Goody Two Shoes to see why.

Let me summarize it for you.

100

Marjorie, meanwhile, and her brother were two homeless orphans.

101

Marjorie grew up only wearing one shoe.

102

One day they meet a rich gentleman who buys her new clothes and a new pair of shoes.

103

She was so excited and grateful that she exclaimed it to everyone she met,

104

earning her name, Goody Two Shoes.

105

She believed the rich man was good and wise because of his great learning,

106

and so she learned to read and helped teach all the children in the village to learn as well.

107

She prevented a man from being robbed and murdered because she warned him after overhearing some men plotting about it.

108

She saved numerous animals from being abused by people.

109

She was so wise and good that some idiots accused her of being a witch and put her under trial.

110

She proves everyone wrong and continued being the goody two-shoes badass that she is.

111

Why is this used to make fun of people?

112

I strive to be a goody two-shoes and you should too.

113

Piece of cake or pie.

114

An easy or simple task.

115

There's nothing simple about a cake.

116

There's so many different ways to make a cake.

117

I guess if you don't care how it tastes,

118

baking a cake or pie can be simple.

119

But if the quality doesn't matter,

120

then you could easily just use any other food as the idiom.

121

Wow, that cake looks amazing!

122

Did you really make that?

123

Ah, yeah, it was a piece of steak.

124

What?

125

Eat your heart out, Duff Goldman.

126

Is that.. a famous chef or baker?

127

That's a no-brainer!

128

Okay man, I just wanted to know if you made it.

129

And Bob's your uncle.

130

Okay, weirdo.

131

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?

132

They already know NordVPN is sponsoring this.

133

But if you're unfamiliar with NordVPN,

134

it's a virtual private network service that helps protect your privacy and security online,

135

ensuring you browse the net anonymously with no data logging using military-grade encryption.

136

With thousands of servers in over 61 countries,

137

a lightweight user-friendly software, NordVPN lets you virtually be wherever you want in the world.

138

Have more than one device?

139

And no problemo!

140

You can protect up to six devices at once.

141

No way, you're pulling my leg!

142

Yes, but I'm telling the truth,

143

and hurry because this deal will end in early September.

144

If you've been on the fence about it,

145

now's the time to decide.

146

The ball is in your court.

147

Again, that's NordVPN.com slash Domix with the code DOMIX for 75% off a 3-year plan plus an extra month for free.

148

Enjoy the new school year!

149

Good luck!

150

I mean, you suck.

重要な語彙とフレーズ

beat around the bush - 直接言わずに遠回しに話すこと
raining cats and dogs - 大雨が降っていること

練習のコツ

この動画のスピードとトーンに合わせて練習するためには、shadow speakを利用するのが効果的です。最初は動画をゆっくり再生し、話し手の音声を真似てみましょう。特に、イディオムを使ったフレーズを繰り返すことで、自然な流れを身につけられます。また、shadowspeaks技術を用いて、言葉の背後にある感情やトーンにも意識を向けてみてください。最終的には、IELTS スピーキング対策としても役立ちます。イディオムを使えるようになることで、試験だけでなく、実際の会話でも自信を持って意見を表現できるようになるでしょう。

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。
