17

18

19
This Chicago Costco flooded with Gen Z shoppers.
20
I love the free samples.
21
They're really, really fun.
22
There's so much to look at and grab and see.
23
Perhaps the ultimate test.
24
I've actually given the membership as a wedding gift before.
25
I feel like you were the favorite guest at that wedding.
26
Well, I usually am, but...
27
Experts say the thing is Costco's famous for not spending money on advertising or building this kind of buzz.
28
In fact, they declined to comment for the story.
29
It's part of a broader trend with more young Americans shopping in person.
30
One survey finding shoppers ages 18 to 24 last year made well over half their purchases in stores.
31
And Costco's one of many cashing in.
32
More than half of Costco's new membership growth is coming from shoppers under 40.
33
Many retail analysts say drawn in by its constant stream of new products and gimmick-free approach.
34
When something sells out at Costco, then it's actually gone.
35
You don't have the countdown timers.
36
You don't have only three left.
37
They're not manufacturing any of this urgency, and Gen Z realizes that.
38
I don't know about putting it on the wedding registry, but Maggie, how is Costco capitalizing on all this new love from Gen Z and the younger folks?
39
Yeah, it's interesting, guys.
40
So like we said, they didn't want to comment on our story, but we kind of got a hint.
41
If we can pull up this image, we have Costco's brand new, brand new official TikTok account.
42
I say brand new because their first TikTok was posted 11 days ago.
43
They only have five total.
44
So this is new and it appears they're leaning into the Gen Z love and clearly meeting them where they are.
45
And by the way, a question that we've been getting a lot, what about the membership fee?
46
I mean, it's $66 a year minimum.
47
And we're talking about young people who don't have a lot of money to spend, experts say it appears they're just okay paying it.
48
Everyone in our piece had their own membership fee.
49
And experts think one reason is this is a generation who grew up paying subscription fees or watching their parents pay them.
50
Think like Amazon, streaming services.
51
So to them, that's kind of a normal budget item, whereas to their parents' generation, it might have felt more like a luxury.
52
Guys.
53
Well, interesting.
54
I kind of want to know who that one person that Costco is following on TikTok is.
55
Just a single person is following.
56
By the way, you can get clothes at Costco, you can get gas at Costco.
57
That's a retailer's dream, you know, to be hot on TikTok like that.
58
Maggie, thank you.
59
Appreciate it.
60
Spotify, or wherever you listen.

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。
