1
Do you regret any of those videos as you've matured?
2
You say you've mellowed out and matured now and you even spot
3
that you were doing them from like a not an authentic place, right?
4
Do you regret them?
5
There's some I definitely do regret, yeah.
6
The majority I'd say no. Obviously we both know that I'm a big fan of Ricky Gervais and he always,
7
one of his mantras is there needs to be a why in comedy.
8
Why are you doing something?
9
If you're targeting someone, why are you doing it? like um
10
and a lot of my early main channel content like for
11
anyone who doesn't know like i made a video reacting to um
12
so well as advent calendar everybody knows it's got like six
13
million views isn't it yeah crazy it did all right
14
that changed the game for me in terms of youtube i
15
was i was going to quit the the upload before
16
that i was going to quit and then i upload
17
that video and it changed the game but like
18
when i look back on videos like that i have no regrets
19
because it was funny it the comedy almost like it wrote
20
itself like there was a reason why i was doing it
21
it was it was a sketch that's all it was
22
but there would be times when i fell into the trap of like
23
okay people know jack mate for being the guy to slag stuff off
24
and that's funny whatever and then i'd find a few things
25
that naturally did piss me off and i could draw humor from it
26
and then when the content dried up it was kind of like well i've now got to go
27
and look for someone who's doing something wrong
28
and become this kind of like sort of white knight of the internet sort of thing
29
and it was like it's never who I was
30
so I did my first ever video with Ricky Gervais and
31
and that was the biggest moment ever for me and then I remember uploading the video and the interview was
32
brilliant and the top comment was this is good Jack
33
but Ollie White's released some new t-shirts that you haven't spoken about
34
and i thought fuck me so i've got now that's what you want from me is that
35
so then i'd go i didn't go out of my way
36
to go okay zoella in the title bangs views what is she up to oh she's released a book now
37
that book there was nothing wrong with that book
38
but i'm trying i'm actively trying to pick flaws in it
39
that i can dissect on my channel
40
and it's like there that's kind of like the stuff i i i regret i remember ksi
41
and joella they did their
42
when i was trying to be edgy boy edgy boy jack
43
mate they did their first press conference for their fight and
44
that was in in manchester i think it was and i
45
and and because i was the black sheep of youtube i would never get invited to them
46
so therefore by default the jealousy would take over
47
and i'd be like this is shit i want nothing to do with it where deep down i knew
48
that i wanted something to do with that
49
that whole youtube boxing scene in fact i'm a boxing fan i'm a youtube fan
50
So why would that not appeal to me?
51
And they did a press conference.
52
And JJ, he said something about Joe Weller's medication, which I don't agree with.
53
But in the context of a press conference, you say anything you can to get the upper hand.
54
And I remember just turning on my camera straight away.
55
I was like, KSI needs to be cancelled, blah, blah, blah.
56
Because I knew it would bang views.
57
But JJ is a hero of mine, as I'm sure he is to any YouTuber, any content creator.
58
Joe Weller, I used to watch every single one of his videos.
59
I love Joe Weller.
60
So they're the ones I regret when I wasn't being authentic and not even really being funny.
61
Just actually trying to go in on someone because I wanted
62
that check at the end of the ad revenue to be higher that month.

この動画で英語スピーキング練習する理由

日常的な会話のリアルな流れを体験できるのがこの動画の魅力です。ジャック・メイトが過去の経験を率直に語る様子は、自然なスピーチパターンや感情の起伏が詰まっています。シャドーイング(shadow speech)の練習に最適で、「後悔」「嫉妬」などの深い感情を表す表現を学びながら、英語のリズムを身につけることができます。動画で英語学習することで、単なる文法ではなく、人としての繋がりを感じながら話す技術が磨かれます。

文脈の中の文法と表現

  • 「There's some I definitely do regret」:関係代名詞の省略が使われています。「regret some (videos)」を倒置し、自然な口語表現にしています。日常会話ではよく見られる構造で、「~がある」という基本形を柔軟に使うコツが学べます。
  • 「it was funny it the comedy almost like it wrote itself」:口語的な断片的な表現で、話し手の思考過程がそのまま現れています。文法的に完璧ではないですが、リアルタイムのコミュニケーションではよくあるパターンで、「自然な流れ」を優先する発話スタイルを理解できます。
  • 「why would that not appeal to me?」:否定疑問文を使って強い確信を表しています。「もちろん魅力的でしょう」という意味を逆説的に伝え、感情を強調しています。議論や意見表明で使える実用的な表現です。

発音の注意点

動画の中には発音が難しい単語やアクセントの変化があります。例えば、「mantras」(マントラ)の「a」の発音は短く、「dissect」(ディセクト)の「s」は濁らずにはっきり発音します。また、「fuck me」などの口語表現はアクセントが強く、感情を表すために声が上がる傾向があります。シャドーイング練習をする際は、これらの微妙な発音の違いに注意して、話し手のニュアンスを再現してみてください。

この動画を使って英語スピーキング練習を続けると、自然な会話力が飛躍的に向上します。ぜひshadow speechの技術を磨き、リアルな英語表現を身につけてください。

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。
