Hey guys!
2
Today I'm gonna take you with me to one of the American stores to upgrade your vocabulary.
3
Even if you think you know all these words,
4
you could check your knowledge by watching this video.
5
Ready?
6
Cool!
7
Let's take a little tour of the store.
8
So the first thing we usually do when we enter the store is grab one of these things.
9
They come in really handy when you're shopping.
10
Imagine you're in a store with your American friend and you want to ask them to get one of these.
11
So what do you say?
12
What do we call it?
13
Yes, that's right.
14
It's a shopping cart.
15
A fun fact, in Great Britain,
16
Australia, and New Zealand, they call it a trolley.
17
And you might also hear the word buggy in addition to shopping cart in southern US and Canada.
18
And shockingly, this is not the full list,
19
but these are the most commonly used ones.
20
When we go through the store,
21
we go through departments, the specific sections or areas of the store that sell particular types of products.
22
They can also be referred to as sections.
23
There are a lot of different departments in the store,
24
among which might be the deli department,
25
clothing department, household goods, or seasonal items, and so on.
26
This is, for example, the produce department or the produce section.
27
So if you lost your American friend in the store and they text you and ask you,
28
where are you?
29
You can say, I'm in the XYZ section.
30
And these are called aisles.
31
Excuse me, where can I find the beans?
32
They're in aisle 10.
33
If there's something you need from way up there,
34
but you can't reach it,
35
how do you ask someone for help?
36
For instance, you could say to a staff member or someone tall,
37
excuse me, can you help me get the pack of cereal from the top shelf?
38
I have been in this situation countless times because of my height.
39
So these are called shelves where products are placed for display or storage.
40
And here we have another good word.
41
Display.
42
It's the arrangement of products in an attractive manner to catch customers' attention.
43
Each individual product displayed on the shelf we can call an item.
44
Do you know what these are called?
45
Let's imagine there is an item you need to get and this thing is nowhere to be found.
46
You go looking for an assistant to ask them about it.
47
So what do you say?
48
That's right, you would say,
49
excuse me, there's no price tag for this item.
50
So this is a price tag.
51
Let's move on.
52
Sections like these are called clearance.
53
It's a section in a store where products are heavily discounted to clear out inventory.
54
Do you like pasta, by the way?
55
Let's say that you had a dinner at your friend's last night
56
and you wanted to know what sauce they used for the pasta.
57
And let's say they told you that it was marinara sauce.
58
But there are different kinds of marinara.
59
So you would need to ask about the brand name to be able to get that specific one.
60
These are the brand names.
61
This is a checkout.
62
It's the area where you pay for your purchases with the help of a cashier.
63
But I, for instance, very rarely go to a checkout.
64
I prefer a self-checkout.
65
This is where customers can complete their own transactions.
66
Do you know what this action is called?
67
Let's say you did this twice and now you need to call an assistant
68
and describe your problem so that they can delete another item.
69
So what do you say?
70
you would say something like, Hi, excuse me.
71
I scanned this twice.
72
And they usually reply right away with, No worries.
73
And delete the second item on the list.
74
Thank you so list.
75
So this is called scanning an item and this is a receipt.
76
Let's go over a couple of more essential vocabulary words associated with stores.
77
In every store you will find products on sale or discounted.
78
I'm pretty sure we all know what these words mean but do you know what the difference is between them.
79
If you don't, no worries, I'll tell you.
80
So discounts show you a certain percentage of the original price
81
and when the product is on sale the price tag will indicate the exact new price.
82
Also if you didn't like the item you purchased or the quality wasn't what you had expected or it didn't fit,
83
you can return or exchange it.
84
To return something means to bring an item back and get a refund,
85
meaning you get your money back.
86
And to exchange something means to give one item back and get another one instead of that one.
87
Okay guys, that's it for this video.
88
If you have any questions,
89
let me know in the comments and I really hope
90
that you enjoyed this video and I'll see you in the next one.

この動画で話す練習をする理由
この動画は、アメリカのグロサリー（食料品店）で使われるボキャブラリーを学ぶ絶好の機会です。特に、日常生活で必要なフレーズや言葉の使い方に焦点を当てており、実際の会話の場面に役立つ内容が盛り込まれています。友達と買い物をするシーンを想像してみてください。言葉がスムーズに出てこないと恥ずかしい思いをしますが、この動画を通じて必要な表現を学ぶことで、英語を話す自信を高めることができます。さらに、YouTubeで英語学習に挑戦することによって、リスニング力と発音も同時に向上させることができるのです。
文法と文脈における表現
- Excuse me, can you help me...? - 誰かに助けを求める際に使う丁寧なフレーズで、ビジネスシーンでも適用できます。
- Where can I find...? - 何かを探しているときの基本的な質問です。特に買い物や旅行などの場面で役立ちます。
- I'm in the XYZ section. - どのセクションにいるかを伝える方法を学び、友人とのコミュニケーションを円滑にします。
- This is called... - 知識を共有する際に非常に便利な構文で、相手に新しい名詞を教える表現です。
これらの表現を使用して、英語のシャドーイングをすることで、より自然な会話ができるようになります。shadowing siteを利用して、聞いたフレーズをすぐに練習することが重要です。
一般的な発音の罠
この動画には特に注意が必要な単語やフレーズがいくつか含まれています。「shopping cart」は“ショッピングカート”と発音し、“カート”が「カー」に近い音にならないようにしましょう。また、「aisle」という単語は“アイル”と発音しますが、発音に注意していないと“アイ”と間違ってしまう恐れがあります。これらの単語の発音を正しく学ぶことで、より流暢な英語を話せるようになるでしょう。
さらに、英語シャドーイングの練習時には、動画を使って発音を繰り返すことで、音に対する理解を深められます。shadowspeaksのように、自分の発音を録音して改善点を見つけるのも効果的です。
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。
