この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型動画での表現
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てるis created · is controlled · is liked
関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加えるpeople who control · person who has · person who travels

注意したい発音

話し手はI'm, you'reなど、短縮形や弱形を9回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

  • 「sh」と「zh」の音: nationality /ˌnæʃ.əˈnæl.ɪ.ti/, imagination /ɪˌmæd͡ʒəˈneɪʃən/, politician /ˌpɑ.ləˈtɪʃ.ən/
  • 長い単語(アクセントの位置に注意): memorial /məˈmɔːɹi.əl/, nationality /ˌnæʃ.əˈnæl.ɪ.ti/, ceremony /ˈsɛɹ.əˌmoʊ.ni/, imagination /ɪˌmæd͡ʒəˈneɪʃən/, politician /ˌpɑ.ləˈtɪʃ.ən/

日本語話者が苦手な音:

  • /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: memorial /məˈmɔːɹi.əl/, relate /ɹɪˈleɪt/, carousel /ˌkæɹəˈsɛl/
  • 子音の連続 — 間に母音を入れない: monument /ˈmɑnjʊmənt/, belt /ˈbɛlt/, skill /skɪl/, collect /ˈkɑlɪkt/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/

  3. 自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。memorial, monument, nationalityなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。

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。
