Here we go.

Listen, learn, repeat, shadow.
3
Hating someone?
4
What kind of topic is this?
5
Alright, let's jump into this.
6
I'm just going to read along.
7
You feel free to repeat after me when you want to.
8
Shadow me if you can.
9
I'll pause, and when I pause, you can repeat.
10
Here I go.
11
Hating someone is like holding a hot coal.
12
You burn yourself first.
13
Don't want to burn yourself now, do you?
14
Don't be holding on to that coal.
15
Imagine gripping a burning coal in your hand.
16
A hot coal is a piece of burning material that looks small but carries intense heat inside it.
17
You want to throw it at the person who hurt you.
18
hoping it will burn them.
19
Wow.
20
But you hold on to it.
21
But as you hold on to it, as you hold on to it, in the process of holding on to it, as you hold on to it,
22
your own hand is what gets scorched.
23
Scorched, burned badly.
24
Your hand gets scorched.
25
It's your own hand.
26
You want to burn them, but it's your own hand.
27
that is what gets scorched.
28
The damage starts with you.
29
That's exactly what anger and hatred do to us when we refuse to let them go.
30
We often believe that by staying angry or hateful, we are protecting ourselves. or someone.
31
That does not say someone.
32
That says or somehow getting even.
33
Or somehow we are getting even with the person.
34
By being angry or hateful, by staying angry or hateful, we believe that we are getting even with them somehow.
35
All right, that's better.
36
But in reality, we are destroying our own peace,
37
health, and happiness from the inside out.
38
It's coming from within us.
39
It's coming from the inside of us out.
40
This is one of the most shocking and brutally honest truths.
41
And it's powerful because it's real.
42
We sometimes think that hating someone is a way of punishing them,
43
a form of emotional revenge.
44
I'll get revenge on you.
45
But revenge in this sense is the desire to make someone else feel pain.
46
Because they made us feel pain.
47
The problem is that emotional revenge rarely reaches the other person.
48
Rarely reaches the other person the way we imagine.
49
Instead, we're the ones who keep reliving the hurt.
50
reliving the hurt replaying events in our minds and keeping the wound open the hatred becomes a poison
51
a poison we drink while waiting for the other person to fall ill We tell ourselves that holding on to our pain
52
keeps us safe from being hurt again.
53
Holding on to the pain keeps us safe from being hurt again.
54
Is that what we tell ourselves?
55
Pain, in this context, is the emotional suffering we feel.
56
Sadness, grief, humiliation, or betrayal.
57
Clinging to it can feel like armor,
58
as if staying angry means we'll never be fooled or mistreated again.
59
But the truth is, it only harms us more.
60
Of course you feel anger, pain, and disappointment.
61
That's human.
62
Disappointment is the feeling that comes when reality falls short of what you hoped or expected.
63
those first waves of emotion are natural and valid.
64
Those first feelings, those first waves of emotion are natural and valid.
65
They signal that your boundaries were crossed and that something important to you was damaged.
66
But if you cling to that anger, if you hold on to that anger, if you rehearse the story again and again,
67
in your mind, you rehearse it.
68
What is rehearse?
69
You replay it, replaying every detail.
70
You start thinking about them every day.
71
You feel tense and stressed.
72
Your Your body stays on high alert.
73
Your mood is easily ruined.
74
Your sleep is disrupted.
75
And bitterness slowly grows.
76
Bitterness is what happens when hurt and anger harden over time.
77
It turns into a constant sense of resentment and negativity.
78
You may start to see life, people, or even yourself through a darker lens.
79
Meanwhile, the person who hurt you has probably moved on,
80
living their life, maybe not even thinking about what happened.
81
You're the only one still suffering, still holding the hot coal.
82
this is where forgiveness comes in.
83
I don't want to forgive.
84
Forgiveness does not mean you are saying what they did was okay.
85
It's not saying that what they did is okay.
86
That's not forgiveness.
87
It doesn't mean you have to trust them again.
88
Forget what happened.
89
It doesn't mean you have to forget what happened.
90
It doesn't mean that.
91
Or allow them back into your life.
92
Forgiveness is an internal decision.
93
It's choosing to release the heavy weight of anger and say, I'm done carrying this.
94
I'm done carrying this.
95
I'm not going to think about it anymore.
96
It's the choice to stop letting their actions control your emotions and your future.
97
I'm going to say it again.
98
It's the choice to stop letting their actions control your emotions and your future.
99
You forgive not for their sake, not for them, not for their good,
100
for their sake, but for your own good, for your own sake.
101
It's an act of self-care.
102
A way of giving yourself permission to heal.
103
giving yourself permission to heal.
104
Forgiveness allows you to breathe more freely,
105
sleep more peacefully, and genuinely smile again without that constant tension in your chest.
106
constant tension, tightness in your chest.
107
Letting go can sound vague.
108
So here's what it really means.
109
You stop feeding the anger with constant mental replay.
110
Constant mental replay.
111
You keep replaying the situation, about that person in your head.
112
That's constantly thinking about it, constant mental replay.
113
You stop feeding the anger.
114
You allow yourself to feel the hurt fully.
115
And then you gently redirect your focus.
116
Change the direction of your focus.
117
You redirect your focus.
118
toward your own growth, values, and future.
119
You might set firm boundaries.
120
Firm boundaries.
121
Seek support.
122
Journal.
123
Write in your journal.
124
Or talk to someone you trust.
125
All of these are practical ways of solving, of slowly loosening your grip on the hot coal.
126
You don't want to hold on to that hot coal, so you want to loosen your grip by doing all those practical ways that we just discussed.
127
Let go of the hot coal and allow yourself to rediscover the peace you've been missing.
128
Again, let go of the hot coal and allow yourself to rediscover the peace you've been missing.
129
Let's say it one more time.
130
Let go of the hot coal and allow yourself to rediscover the peace you've been missing.
131
You deserve a life where your heart is not defined by what others did to you, but by how you choose to heal.
132
Rise and move forward.
133
Again, you deserve a life where your heart is not defined by what others did to you,
134
but by how you choose to heal, rise, and move forward.
135
We can do better.
136
Last time.
137
You deserve a life where your heart is not defined by what others did to you,
138
but by how you choose to heal, rise, and move forward.
139
Boom.
140
Good workout.
141
Way to go.
142
Keep moving forward one step at a time.
143
And I'll see you in the next practice video.
この動画でしゃべる練習をする理由
「英語シャドーイング」という技法を用いることで、英語のスピーキングスキルを向上させることができます。この手法は、話し手の言葉をその場で繰り返すことで、発音、イントネーション、リズムを自然に体得するものです。動画では、感情に対する深い洞察が語られ、そのコンテキストで言葉を使うことで、学習者はより深く理解し、実際の会話に役立てることができます。自分の声を録音して聞き返すことで、自分の成長を実感できるのも大きな魅力です。
文法と表現の文脈
動画内では、いくつかの重要な文法構造や表現が使われています。特に注目すべきものは以下の通りです：
- 比喩表現: 「焼けた炭を握るようなもの」という比喩は、怒りや恨みが自己に及ぼす影響を表現しています。
- 現在進行形: 「あなたが保持している」という表現は、現在の行動を強調する役割を果たしています。これは、状況をリアルタイムで体験することを示します。
- 否定的な表現: 「誰かを恨むことは、あなた自身を傷つける」というフレーズは、感情の影響を反映し、教訓を提供しています。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
この動画には、発音やアクセントに特有の挑戦が含まれています。特に気を付けたいポイントは以下の通りです：
- 「scorched」や「coal」といった言葉は、特に母音の変化に注意が必要です。
- 「emotional revenge」のようなフレーズは、単語間のリズムと強調を適切に置くことが求められます。
- 「holding on to it」などのフレーズでは、流暢さとスムーズな滑舌が重要です。
これらのトラップを意識しながら「YouTubeで英語学習」を進めることが、より良い英語の発音をもたらすでしょう。また、shadow speechの重要性を理解し、自分自身の上達を促進することも忘れずに行ってください。
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。
