シャドーイング練習: Listen, Learn, Repeat, Speak, and Shadow me English Speaking Practice: SHADOWING - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

Hey, you're back!

Are you ready to practice English with me?

Let's do it.

Let's practice some English.

Now, this is the topic.

Your body needs movement, like it needs nutrients.

Your body needs nutrients, right?

Of course, if you don't have nutrients, you would die.

You need movement, too.

That's the topic.

Today, let's dive a little deeper into Move Your DNA, Move Your Body by Katie Bowman.

Now, this is a book review, and then this book really changes the way we think about movement.

That's what it's going to do.

Let's see.

Let's see what this book's all about.

It reminds us that staying active isn't just about going to the gym. or doing a workout.

It's about how we use our bodies all day long.

It's about how we use our bodies all day long in everyday life.

Okay, I'm going to say all of it again.

You can shadow me if you wish.

It reminds us that staying active isn't just about going to the gym or doing a workout.

It's about how we use our bodies all day long in everyday life.

All right.

You practicing?

Let's practice some more.

Exercise is not the same as movement.

What?

What does she mean by that?

Exercise is not the same as movement.

A single workout at the gym cannot make up for many hours spent sitting at a desk.

Oh, there's a phrasal verb right there, make up for.

Make up for.

If something you make up for, you compensate for.

You cover.

so a single workout at the gym is not enough cannot

make up for many hours spent sitting at a desk on a couch

or in the car just yeah i guess i started to think in my mind who spends hours in a car.

Then I thought, oh, drivers, of course, truck drivers.

Yes, I can see that.

Okay, I'm going to say all of that again.

Exercise is not the same as movement.

A single workout at the gym cannot make up for many hours spent sitting at a desk,

on the couch, or in the car.

Instead, movement needs to be a regular part of your whole day,

like a steady rhythm.

All right, let's say it together.

Instead, movement needs to be a regular part of your whole day, like a steady rhythm.

There's some difficult words there, isn't there?

Regular, regular, whole, whole, rhythm, rhythm, steady rhythm, steady rhythm.

Small bits of movement spread throughout the day can matter more than one short burst of intense exercise.

All right, so exercising one powerful time is not as good as having bits of movement throughout the day.

That means little bits of exercise all throughout the day.

Small bits of movement spread throughout the day.

So you spread butter on toast, you spread movement exercise throughout your day.

Okay, say it together with me.

Small bits of movement spread throughout the day can matter more than one short burst of intense exercise.

You can think of a movement like a nutrient.

Something your body needs to stay healthy.

Again, you can think of a movement, sorry, I messed up, I added a movement, just movement in general.

Let's try again.

You can think of movement like a nutrient, something your body needs to stay healthy.

Just as your body needs many different vitamins and minerals from different foods,

it also needs many different kinds of movement.

Again, just as your body needs many different vitamins and minerals from different foods,

it also needs many different kinds of movement.

Your body needs to move different joints in different directions and ranges of motion and in different environments.

Again, your body needs to move different joints in different directions and ranges of motion and in different environments,

indoors, outdoors, on different surfaces and at different speeds.

so what would a different surface be like on the grass

on the dirt on a hard floor on a soft floor your environment the space and things around you

matters a lot too

so your environment matters a lot too yeah whenever you have

those uh this little dash mark you can actually cut the middle part out

and and just read your environment

and skip to here matters a lot too they're adding information to the sentence

when you have those dashes right your environment the space and things around you

the defined environment matters a lot too all right from the top indoors outdoors on different surfaces

and at different speeds your environment the space and things around you matters a lot too

all right common things like chairs certain kinds of shoes

and very flat floors can actually limit or reduce the way you move Yeah, I can see that.

If you have a flat floor, that's going to limit, it's going to reduce the way you move

if you have a flat floor certain kinds of chairs and shoes would limit the way you move from the top

common things like chairs certain kinds of shoes

and very flat floors can actually limit

or reduce the way you move they can make you use fewer muscles

and smaller ranges of motion they can make you use fewer muscles

and smaller ranges of motion range of motion you know range

of motion right the the way you move your body this

is the range of motion on my arm all right try to rewild your space a little bit.

Rewild?

Make your space wild again?

Which simply means changing your surroundings so they encourage more natural movement.

Okay, let's say that again.

Try to rewild your space a little bit,

which simply means changing your surroundings so they encourage more natural movement.

For example, you might sit on the floor sometimes.

Do you sit on the floor sometimes?

In some countries, that is very common.

In America, not so much.

100

Go barefoot when it's safe.

101

or choose places where you can walk, climb, or stretch more.

102

Got to move that body.

103

Again, for example, you might sit on the floor sometimes.

104

Go barefoot when it's safe or choose places where you can walk, climb, or stretch more.

105

Don't forget about alignment either.

106

I'm aligning my body straight.

107

Alignment is the way your body is positioned and how your parts line up when you move or stay still.

108

Again, don't forget about alignment either.

109

Alignment is the way your body is positioned and how your parts line up when you move or stay still.

110

The way you move and hold your body changes how pressure and forces travel through your muscles and joints.

111

That's a little bit of a complicated sentence.

112

That's one sentence there.

113

The way you move and hold your body changes how pressure and forces,

114

a force is pushing, pulling is a force, how those forces travel through your muscles and joints.

115

Say it with me.

116

The way you move and hold your body changes how pressure and force travel through your muscles and joints.

117

Good form and healthy alignment help spread the stress more evenly through your body,

118

which can make you stronger, more comfortable, and more resilient over time.

119

Again, good form and healthy alignment help spread this stress more evenly through your body,

120

which can make you stronger, more comfortable, and more resilient over time.

121

Small changes really add up over days, weeks, and years.

122

Again, small changes really add up over days, weeks, and years.

123

Walking more often.

124

Squatting every day.

125

Squatting.

126

You know, squatting, sitting down in a scrouched squatting position.

127

standing on regular standing up regular regularly i i struggle with

128

that word even as a native speaker standing up regularly instead of sitting for long periods

129

or sitting on the floor are simple realistic ways to improve your health bit by bit bit by bit

130

Let's say it again.

131

Ready?

132

Walking more often, squatting every day,

133

standing up regularly, instead of sitting for long periods or sitting on the floor, are simple.

134

Realistic ways to improve your health bit by bit.

135

Wow, that is a long sentence.

136

You can lose your train of thought while you're saying that sentence.

137

That is one sentence.

138

Okay.

139

Here we go.

140

This is a nice short one.

141

You don't have to change everything at once.

142

You don't have to change everything at once.

143

So remember, you're not just meant to move.

144

How you move shapes who you are and how you feel in your body.

145

Again.

146

So remember, you're not just meant to move.

147

How you move shapes who you are and how you feel in your body.

148

What nutrient-rich movement will you try today?

149

I was trying to find where the dashes started and ended.

150

What nutrient-rich movement, see the dash there?

151

Let's skip to that dash and read this part.

152

Will you try today?

153

What nutrient-rich movement will you try today?

154

So they define nutrient-rich movement, meaning very natural and frequent movement.

155

See what happened there?

156

They defined nutrient-rich movement in the middle of the sentence.

157

What nutrient-rich movement, meaning varied, natural, and frequent movement, will you try today?

158

Alright, say it with me.

159

What nutrient-rich movement, meaning varied, natural, and frequent movement, will you try today?

160

Alright, what are you going to do today?

161

How are you going to move your body today?

162

Well, we definitely moved our mouth muscles today, didn't we?

163

Good workout.

164

Boom.

165

Keep moving forward one step at a time.

166

Keep practicing, and I'll see you in the next video.

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。
