1
So I have this problem where I don't want to be alone
2
But I also want to be alone when I'm with other people I
3
long for my alone time and getting back home into my space.
4
But then when I'm alone,
5
I long to be with other people and to be social and to not be by myself.
6
Thank you.
7
you And this is...
8
a little bit of a new phenomenon For me, historically I've enjoyed my alone time more.
9
Now I feel like I'm in this place in my life where I just crave human connection more than I normally do.
10
Valder!
11
Hi Valder!
12
I wonder if it's the child or?
13
Amen.
14
the box I did it ball - What?
15
By the way, I'm getting ready now to go for breakfast with a couple friends because the sun is shining.
16
And the sun is almost never shining.
17
But I thought about this this week and so I just wanted to share some thoughts.
18
I've sort of experienced many of the different living arrangements.
19
But I have been living alone for a while now.
20
I'm just realizing that it's kind of getting harder and harder.
21
But also, the thought of living with another person is also getting harder and harder.
22
So I'm like, Where does that Leave me My feet is clean!
23
You know, one of the obvious pros of living alone is that it's not just this aesthetically beautiful situation.
24
It is truly very calming.
25
You get to do everything uninterrupted.
26
You make your morning coffee.
27
You sit in peace read your book think, look outside the window, no one to be loud,
28
or no one to lose stuff or misplace things, or there's just no one to blame.
29
For anything, no one to get on your nerves, no one to buy the wrong thing or to make a mess,
30
whatever the situation might be.
31
It's just you and yourself, and you get to decide what you want to watch,
32
what you want what you want to listen to at what volume When you want to go to bed, when you want to wake up, you don't have to.
33
account for anyone else's life or schedule.
34
But also just like with everything. in life.
35
It's not.
36
a perfect situation.
37
There are some obvious downsides of the situation.
38
a lot of small things, but it's also some bigger things.
39
Some of the small things are things like someone interrupting you, in a pleasant way.
40
What could that be?
41
It could be someone sharing something that they saw or heard
42
that day and suddenly you are talking about something that's quite interesting
43
or maybe you are learning something or maybe they can recommend you something that they read or something that they
44
noticed on that day, or even a little background noise by another person.
45
To an extent, if it's someone you like,
46
a lot can be quite nice just like hearing their little chores and whatever they are up to you,
47
that an eruption can be quite pleasant,
48
or maybe they can suggest what you guys can eat.
49
where you guys can watch
50
"What you guys are going to do this weekend?" or "They can give you an ID" and something and it...
51
creates for a fuller life in a way.
52
And then obviously the conveniences.
53
Like if I want a glass of water, no one is gonna bring me a glass of water.
54
If I'm really craving something, I have to go buy it myself.
55
If I have a bit of an errand, but I have a cold,
56
I'm not feeling well, no one's gonna do that errand for me.
57
So I got two.
58
four -size towels.
59
I've got a glass food container.
60
I have a few of these but I needed one in this big size.
61
This one for Cooking.
62
Good night.
63
I want to turn things, flip things around.
64
Some microfiber wipes, which is the key for cleaning mirrors
65
or screens without getting all the dry water that makes it look Even dirtier.
66
than it was before you started cleaning.
67
This is what I do my dishes with.
68
And here we have even more food containers.
69
Let's open her up.
70
So I got three more in this size, which again I already have these, but I just needed some more.
71
These are really good to store food.
72
And then you can heat up the food in the oven without the lid, because the glass is oven -sized.
73
And then finally I got this box that I want to store things in.
74
Let's see.
75
I believe it's untreated wood.
76
Oh no!
77
I have to assemble it.
78
I hate assembling.
79
Anything.
80
Okay, let's see here.
81
This one is called "Klagli".
82
So it's going to be a box like this where I can just store Things like this. And this.
83
Thank you.
84
Don't step on it. so I'm already confused.
85
Oh, it's because this one is missing.
86
Step one.
87
I don't know why my brain just...
88
malfunctions whenever it comes to assembling I think I'm just so deeply uninterested in anything that has to do with
89
Stuff like this.
90
Like I see parts like this and there is No part of me that gets excited.
91
So this is ridiculous.
92
We can definitely do this.
93
Hold on.
94
Like that.
95
Obviously.
96
Right?
97
No, this has to be the inside.
98
There's only one of this.
99
This has to be the bottom.
100
Thank you.
101
you Yeah.
102
Okay, so this has to be.
103
You know what?
104
I'm just gonna save this for later.
105
Okay?
106
Maybe I have someone stopping by.
107
Maybe when they stop by...
108
I can...
109
Actually, they get so excited about stuff like this.
110
They're gonna see this on the table and they're gonna be like, Can I help you do that?
111
Thank you.
112
So technically I'm being a good friend.
113
And also, The bills you You're on your own.
114
It's expensive.
115
The thought of someone sharing the monthly expenses to me right now is wild.
116
I look at people who live with someone, and they share
117
the costs
118
and i'm like do you know how much money you are
119
saving self -reliance i think is such an important life skill because you cannot You cannot.
120
Count on.
121
always having someone with you in your life, someone taking care of you, someone being there for you.
122
You never know what strange and unpredictable turns life could get.
123
And I'm so grateful.
124
that I have had the experiences, and that I know that I can be independent, I can take care of myself.
125
I can do everything by myself.
126
I'm already confused.
127
Well, to an extent, we are of course relying on the people around us and our loved ones.
128
Obviously, their presence is very, very, very meaningful.
129
even if we don't live with them, but I know that I can handle things on my own.
130
And maybe I have someone stopping by.
131
And now here is where we run into.
132
a serious problem.
133
I don't want constant company, but I also don't want to be completely on my own.
134
What type of situation are we looking at, Lana?
135
Like, what is...
136
I'm also trying not to overthink this, because...
137
realistically, Thank you.
138
It's not really something that I could change anyway.
139
It's just sort of going to happen the way that it's going to happen.
140
Just before I go, I want to show you what I'm currently reading.
141
Well, one of the things I'm currently reading.
142
I've had this book, Virginia Woolf, the Rubber One Zone.
143
for so many years now.
144
I don't think I ever read through it.
145
It's a very short book. But...
146
I remember having a hard time with her writing style.
147
So, I wanted to give it another go because I was going through all of my old books, so many books that I don't even really know what to do with.
148
I've found some ones that I want to reread.
149
One of them.
150
Alright, heading out.

このビデオで会話練習をする理由
このビデオでは、一人暮らしの難しさとその魅力について話されています。英語を学ぶ際には、他者と直接の会話を模倣することが重要です。特に、英語シャドーイング（shadow speech）を行うことで、リアルな会話の流れや感情を身に付けることができます。このビデオを通じて、実際の会話の状況を感じ、言葉の使い方を学ぶことができるため、IELTS スピーキング対策としても非常に効果的です。また、一人だけでなく、他者との関わりやその中での楽しさも感じられる表現を学ぶことで、自信を持って会話する力を高めることができます。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
ビデオ内で使用されている主要な構造をいくつか分析します。
- “I long for...” - 何かを強く望むという意味で、感情や欲望を表現するのに使われる表現です。
- “I’ve been living alone for a while now.” - 現在完了形が使われており、過去から続いている状態をやんわりと伝えます。
- “There are some obvious downsides...” - 多くの状況には、良い面と悪い面があることを示すためのフレーズで、バランスの取れた見解を提供します。
- “What you want to watch, what you want to listen to…” - 疑問詞を使った列挙で、相手に選択の自由があることを示します。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオには耳に残る言葉や発音の難所がいくつかあります。特に注意が必要な点は以下の通りです。
- “calming” - /ˈkɑː.mɪŋ/ という発音は、特に日本語話者にとって難しいかもしれません。
- “interrupted” - /ˌɪn.təˈrʌp.tɪd/ のように、音のつながりに注意が必要です。
- “pleasant” - /ˈplɛz.ənt/ の子音の発音が難しい場合があります。特に「l」と「z」の音をクリアに発音することが求められます。
- “recommend” - /ˌrek.əˈmend/ は、アクセントがどの音節に置かれるかが重要です。
これらのポイントを意識することで、より効果的にshadow speakの技術を磨くことができ、英語を流暢に話す力を高めることが期待できます。
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 |
|---|---|
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | I've enjoyed · have had · I've had |
| 関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加える | wipes, which is · people who live |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — 後ろに-ing形が続く動詞 | started cleaning · hate assembling |
| 現在進行形 am/is/are + -ing — 今まさに、または最近起きていること | I'm getting · I'm just realizing · is also getting |
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。
