1
You understand English when you listen, but when someone asks you a question, you freeze.
2
Your mind goes blank.
3
You want to speak, but the words just don't come out.
4
Does this sound like you?
5
Then this video is exactly what you need.
6
Welcome to Speak Up Sessions English Podcast, where we help you stop just understanding English and finally start speaking it with confidence.
7
Hello everyone!
8
Welcome back to Speak Up Sessions English Podcast.
9
I'm Masu, your English teacher and friend.
10
Today, we're going to practice daily English conversations together.
11
This is not a boring lesson.
12
This is real English for real life.
13
If you're a beginner or intermediate learner, stay with me.
14
By the end of this video, you will feel more confident speaking English.
15
And guess what?
16
I have my friend Fizu here with me today.
17
Hi, everyone.
18
Yeah, I'm here.
19
To be honest, I'm a little nervous.
20
I understand English pretty well when I listen, but speaking?
21
That's my biggest problem.
22
I always get stuck.
23
Don't worry, Fizu.
24
That's very common.
25
You know what?
26
Most English learners have the same problem.
27
They can read, they can listen, but when it's time to speak, they feel afraid.
28
Today, we're going to change that.
29
We'll practice together, step by step.
30
Are you ready?
31
I think so.
32
I hope so.
33
Perfect.
34
Let's start with something simple.
35
Fizu, how are you today?
36
I'm, uh, I'm good. And you?
37
I'm doing great, thank you.
38
See?
39
You just spoke English.
40
That's a start.
41
Now let's make it even better.
42
Okay, Fizu, let's practice a simple daily conversation.
43
Imagine we meet each other in the morning.
44
I'll start.
45
Good morning, Fizu.
46
How are you today?
47
Good morning, Masu.
48
I'm fine, thank you.
49
How are you?
50
I'm great.
51
Thanks for asking.
52
So, what are your plans for today?
53
My plans?
54
I want to… I will study English today.
55
Good.
56
But let me help you sound more natural.
57
Instead of saying, I will study, you can say, I'm going to study English today.
58
Or, I plan to study English today.
59
Try again.
60
Okay.
61
I'm going to study English today.
62
Perfect.
63
That sounds much more natural.
64
You see, small changes make a big difference.
65
Now, let me ask you something else.
66
Did you have breakfast this morning?
67
Yes, I eat breakfast.
68
Almost.
69
But remember, we're talking about the past, so we say, I ate breakfast or I had breakfast.
70
Try it.
71
I had breakfast.
72
Excellent.
73
Now, what did you eat?
74
I had toast and coffee.
75
Nice.
76
Toast and coffee.
77
That's a classic breakfast.
78
You know, this is exactly how native speakers talk every day.
79
Simple questions, simple answers.
80
You don't need to be perfect.
81
You just need to practice and keep going.
82
Don't worry about small mistakes.
83
Communication is the most important thing.
84
Yeah, I always worry too much about grammar.
85
I understand.
86
But here's the truth.
87
Native speakers make mistakes, too.
88
The goal is not perfection.
89
The goal is to speak clearly and confidently.
90
Let's keep practicing.
91
All right, Fizu, now let's have a longer conversation.
92
Imagine we're friends and we're talking about our weekend.
93
I'll start.
94
Hey, Fizu, how was your weekend?
95
Hi, Masu.
96
My weekend was good.
97
I stayed at home and watched some movies.
98
Oh, nice.
99
What kind of movies do you like?
100
I like action movies.
101
And sometimes I watch comedy movies, too.
102
That's great.
103
I love comedies.
104
They always make me laugh.
105
Did you watch anything interesting this weekend?
106
Yes.
107
I watched a movie about a superhero.
108
It was very exciting.
109
Awesome.
110
Was it in English?
111
Uh, no. I watched it with subtitles.
112
That's okay.
113
Actually, watching movies with subtitles is a great way to learn English.
114
But here's a tip.
115
Try watching some parts without subtitles.
116
Even if you don't understand everything, it helps your listening skills.
117
You know what?
118
Let's talk more about hobbies.
119
What do you like to do in your free time?
120
In my free time, I like to listen to music and play video games.
121
Cool.
122
What kind of music do you listen to I listen to pop music
123
and sometimes rock music nice music is also amazing for learning English you can listen to English songs
124
and try to understand the lyrics it's fun
125
and educational at the same time do you play any sports not really I'm not very good at sports
126
but I like to go for walks sometimes walking is great it's healthy
127
and relaxing i also like walking especially in the evening do you usually walk alone
128
or with friends usually alone sometimes i walk with my family
129
that's nice family time is important you know fizu your speaking is getting better already you're using full sentences
130
and you're answering naturally that's exactly what we want really I still feel like I'm making mistakes.
131
You are making some small mistakes, but that's normal.
132
The more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.
133
The important thing is that you're speaking.
134
You're not staying silent.
135
And that's the biggest step.
136
Now let's practice some real-life situations.
137
These are conversations you might have every day.
138
Let's start with ordering food at a restaurant.
139
I'll be the waiter.
140

141

142

Your order will be ready in about 15 minutes.
153

154

155

156

157
That's very polite and natural.
158

160
I'm the salesperson.
161
Hello, can I help you find something today?

190
Do you like living there?
191
Yes, I do.
192
It's very quiet and peaceful.
193
That's wonderful.
194
I live in the city.
195
It's noisy, but there are many things to do.
196
Do you visit the city often?
197
Sometimes.
198
I come to the city for shopping or to meet friends.
199
Cool.
200
Well, it was nice talking to you, Fizu.
201
Maybe we can meet again sometime.
202
Yes, that would be great.
203
Perfect!
204
You did an amazing job, Fizu.
205
These are the kinds of conversations you'll have in real life, and you handled them really well.
206
The more you practice these situations, the more confident you'll become.
207
Alright everyone, now it's time for the listen and repeat section.
208

209
Don't be shy, repeat after me just like Fizu will do.

363
Exactly.
364
Practice and confidence.
365
Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
366
Just keep speaking.
367
You did great on this quiz, Fizu.
368
Now, let's talk about some practical tips to help you improve your English speaking fast.
369
These tips are simple, but they really work.
370
Are you ready, Fizu?
371
Yes.
372
Great.
373
Tip 1.
374
Speak English every day, even if it's just for five minutes.
375
You don't need to have long conversations.
376
Just practice a little bit every day.
377
Talk to yourself in English.
378
Describe what you're doing.
379
For example, I'm making coffee or I'm getting ready for work.
380
This builds your confidence.
381
That sounds easy.
382
It is.
383
Tip two, don't translate in your head.
384
This is very important.
385
When you think in your native language and then translate to English, it takes too long.
386
Try to think directly in English.
387
At first it's difficult, but with practice, it becomes natural.
388
I do that a lot.
389
I always translate first.
390
I know, and that's normal, but start training your brain to think in English.
391
Tip 3.
392
Listen to native speakers as much as possible.
393
Watch English movies, listen to podcasts like this one, watch YouTube videos.
394
The more you listen, the more you'll understand natural pronunciation and sentence structure.
395
I listen to English music sometimes.
396
That's great!
397
Music helps a lot.
398
Tip 4.
399
Don't be afraid of mistakes.
400
This is the biggest problem for most learners.
401
They're so scared of making mistakes that they don't speak at all.
402
But here's the truth.
403
Mistakes are how you learn.
404
Every mistake teaches you something new.
405
Yeah, I'm always worried about saying the wrong thing.
406
I understand.
407
But remember, native speakers make mistakes too.
408
The goal is communication, not perfection.
409
Tip 5.
410
Practice with a friend or language partner.
411
Find someone who's also learning English.
412
Or find a native speaker online.
413
Real conversations are the best practice.
414
That makes sense.
415
And one bonus tip.
416
Be patient with yourself.
417
Learning a language takes time.
418
Celebrate small wins.
419
If you spoke one full sentence today, that's progress.
420
If you understood a conversation, that's progress.
421
Keep going and you'll see results.
422
All right, Fizu, let's quickly summarize what we learned today.
423
Okay.
424
First, we practiced simple daily conversations.
425
We talked about plans, hobbies, and weekends.
426
Then we practiced real-life situations, like ordering food, shopping, and meeting new people.
427
After that, we did the listen and repeat section to practice speaking out loud.
428
We also learned some very useful vocabulary words, like busy, tired, excited, and improve.
429
Then we had a fun quiz, and you did great.
430
And finally, we talked about five important speaking tips.
431
So, Fizu, how do you feel now?
432
Honestly, I feel much more confident.
433
At the beginning, I was nervous, but now I feel like I can actually have a real conversation in English.
434
That's amazing, and that's exactly the goal.
435
You don't need to be perfect.
436
You just need to practice and keep trying.
437
Everyone watching this video, I want you to feel the same way.
438
English is not impossible.
439
It just takes time and practice.
440
Thank you so much for watching Speak Up English podcast.
441
I hope you enjoyed this lesson and learned something useful today.
442
Remember, the key to speaking English fluently is practice, practice, practice.
443
Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
444
Every mistake is a step forward.
445
Yes, and don't give up.
446
Even if it's hard at first, it gets easier.
447
Exactly.

この動画でスピーキングを練習する理由
英語を聞くことはできるけれど、いざ話そうとすると凍りついてしまう経験はありませんか？これは多くの学習者が直面する共通の問題です。この動画では、実生活で使える英語の会話を実践し、自信を持って話せるようになるためのサポートをしています。英語スピーキング練習はコミュニケーション能力を高めるだけでなく、自分の考えを具体的に表現する力を育むことができます。日常的な会話に慣れることで、思考のプロセスがスムーズになり、言葉が自然と出てくるようになるでしょう。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
- 挨拶の表現: "Good morning, Fizu. How are you today?" という基本的な挨拶は、日常会話で非常によく使われる表現です。特に、相手の様子を尋ねることで会話を円滑に進めることができます。
- 返答の仕方: "I'm good. And you?" この返答は、相手に再び質問を投げかける形で会話を続ける典型的な方法です。特に、相手の返答に対して興味を示すことで、より深い会話が生まれます。
- 感謝の表現: "I'm doing great, thank you." ここでの「thank you」は、相手への感謝の気持ちを伝える重要なフレーズです。ポジティブな感情を共有することが、会話をより良いものにします。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
この動画では、特に挨拶や基本的なフレーズにおいて、発音に注意が必要です。多くの学習者が「good morning」や「thank you」のような簡単なフレーズでさえも、正確に発音できないことがあります。特に母音やリズムの取り方には注意が必要です。また、子音のクリアな発音を意識することで、より自然な会話が可能になります。英語シャドーイングや英語スピーキング練習を通じて、これらの発音を改善することが大切です。YouTubeで英語学習を続け、様々なアクセントに触れることで、発音の向上が期待できます。
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。
