Do you guys remember when TikTok got banned in America for one day?
2
Do you guys remember that?
3
America was, like, fighting so hard to ban TikTok because they're like, that's a Chinese app.
4
It's stealing our information.
5
There's a whole Congress hearing with Americans.
6
They're asking the CEO of TikTok.
7
He's like, are you Chinese?
8
I'm Singaporean, sir.
9
Well, sir, I've never heard of that country.
10
Is Singapore in China?
11
No, it's in Singapore, sir.
12
So are you Chinese or Japanese?
13
I'm Singaporean.
14
How are you a congressman when you don't know where Singapore is?
15
It's so ridiculous.
16
They fought so hard to ban TikTok because they think Chinese people is listening to them.
17
And then when TikTok got banned for one day, every single American just went on a different Chinese ad, Xiao Hong Suu.
18
Red Note.
19
Do you guys use it?
20
Xiao Hong Suu?
21
I've been on Xiao Hong Suu for like a year.
22
And then when I signed up, I realized my dad's been on that shit for like three years.
23
My dad's active on Xiao Hongsu, man.
24
He got like 40,000 followers before I even signed up.
25
Not just because he's my dad, but because he turned into like a full-on food blogger.
26
Like he's like now eating food, making weird faces.
27
He's like, oh, this is delicious.
28
He gets a lot of joy from it, right?
29
Because people treat him really nicely because they know he's reviewing their food.
30
And then he comes home, he's really excited.
31
He was like, this place treat me like VIP.
32
Everything free.
33
And I'm like, Dad, I don't want to burst your bubble, okay?
34
But I'm pretty sure they treat you like VIP because they know you're my dad.
35
You know, I'm just telling you.
36
You gotta be careful out there.
37
And he was like, no, no, no, they don't know you, okay?
38
They don't know who you are.
39
When I was in New York, I took all my best friends out to this Chinese restaurant that my dad recommended.
40
Like, literally, literally, all my coolest Chinese-American friends.
41
It was me, Awkwafina, Ronnie Chang, BD Wong, MC Jin, you know?
42
We, like, gathered the Asian Avengers.
43
That's how much I trusted my dad's opinion.
44
You know what I mean?
45
And we went to this very, very authentic Sichuan restaurant, right?
46
made a reservation and we walked in and the waiter was
47
so rude to us that's how I knew the food was
48

54
No. It was so embarrassing, man.
55
I had to take my friends to an Irish pub next door.
56
The Asian Avengers ended up eating fish and chips for dinner.
57
It was very sad of an experience.
58
I've never been so angry and embarrassed in my adult life.
59
I went home, I actually typed up an angry email and sent it to the owner of the restaurant, because I'm a little bitch.
60
I went full Cameron, you know, I started typing this email.
61
I'm like, how dare you treat us like that?
62
We're only ten minutes late, you wouldn't even seat us?
63
I could expect this kind of treatment maybe in an average American joint,
64
place you just treat me like fucking Brad Pitt said so angry
65
and to my surprise the owner of the restaurant email me
66
back right away super apologetic he was like sir we're
67

練習のコツ

この動画では、リズムやスピーチのトーンが非常に重要です。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、スピーキングの練習において、shadowspeakを用いることが効果的です。まず、動画を見ながら音声をよく聞き、言い回しやイントネーションに注意をしてみてください。スピードが比較的早いので、最初は一時停止をしながら、ゆっくりシャドーイングを行いましょう。

次に、特に面白い部分や感情的なシーンを選び、声に出して真似をしてみてください。このプロセスは、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、スピーキングの流暢さを向上させます。また、文の構造やフレーズの使い方を理解することで、英語スピーキング練習に役立つ知識が得られます。shadowing siteの利点を活用し、自分のペースで練習を行ってください。

最後に、友達や家族と一緒に同じ動画を見て、それについてディスカッションをすることで、より実践的な練習が可能になります。このようにして、他の文化や背景を持つ人々との会話に自信を持つことができるでしょう。

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。
