Once upon a time, well more like a few years ago,
2
it was a beautiful summer day in Paris and I was exploring the city after work.
3
This was my first time in Paris
4
and I felt like being a little adventurous so I went off to see the magic of the City of Love.
5
I went just about everywhere,
6
the museum, the Eiffel Tower,
7
but I wanted to try a real Parisian café.
8
So I stumbled upon one and decided to have a cup of coffee.
9
It didn't It didn't take me too long to figure out that this was an authentic French cafe,
10
as in the menu had no English translation.
11
And you guys know how awesome my French is.
12
The server however politely asked me something in French,
13
well at least I think he did,
14
so I was really embarrassed and I felt really bad.
15
And just when I was about to break out my phone to look up some translations,
16
someone tapped me on the shoulder and asked,
17
Excuse me miss, do you need help?
18
I can speak French for you.
19
Oh my gosh, I was so awkward and shy.
20
He was so sweet and ordered everything for me in French,
21
and we ended up staying at the cafe for a few hours, talking about everything.
22
Before we left, we decided to keep in touch and exchanged our emails and numbers.
23
The next day, I had to fly home,
24
but he was on my mind the entire ride home.
25
If you're in a long-distance relationship,
26
here's how you can maintain it.
27
Dom and I made sure to always find time to talk.
28
We found ways to have fun with it.
29
We were able to share our favorite moments.
30
I kinda went overboard and pretty much showed him every single meal I ate.
31
Food is where the heart is.
32
Well, to me it is.
33
And he would share his favorite moments with me too.
34
It was almost like a window to his life.
35
I really felt like I was there.
36
We also shared our favorite songs to each other.
37
He'd dedicate a playlist for me,
38
and I'd listen to it on my way to work.
39
I made him listen to cheesy love songs.
40
Besides sharing messages, songs, videos,
41
or other links, we'd share real tangible things.
42
He would send me his favorite t-shirts and spray his cologne on them.
43
When you have something you can hold,
44
it doesn't really feel like a dream anymore.
45
I know it's tough, but it's okay.
46
Long distance was not meant to be easy.
47
It's hard for a reason.
48
That's why having sentimental things like a t-shirt,
49
sweater, handkerchief, even a plushie can make you feel closer to your love.
50
I sent down my favorite plush bunny.
51
I even made sure to spray my perfume on it so that he really felt like he was sleeping next to me.
52
I can't stress how important it is to communicate.
53
Right when you wake up and before you go to bed,
54
you always want to have the first and last words for your love.
55
Come on, it doesn't take much effort to say hello or goodnight.
56
And the most important tip?
57
Always have a date to meet.
58
This isn't pen pal stuff.
59
This is a loving relationship.
60
So if you're ready to commit, make a date.
61
I can't think of a better feeling than knowing you're about to see the person you love.
62
Those butterflies in your heart, that anxiousness, savor it.
63
And when you see that smile, cherish each moment.
64
And when you're together, be yourself.
65
Don't put your best foot forward.
66
Show all your flaws.
67
Show your bad habits.
68
Heck, get into a fight every once in a while.
69
there's no such thing as a perfect relationship, only a strong one.
70
And the only way to grow stronger is to overcome challenges.
71
Like I said, cherish each moment.
72
Be yourself and love freely.
73
Don't hold back.
74
Two years later, Dom and I were finally able to see each other.
75
And funny enough, we were reunited in Paris.
76
Someone once told me that good things come to those who wait.
77
But I believe that dreams are really waiting for you.
78
And my dream was waiting for me in Paris.
79
So I went after it.
80
We had our first kiss under the Eiffel Tower.
81
Love is not always about being with someone.
82
Love is about discovery.
83
You'll discover new parts about yourself that you never knew.
84
Love will change you, but it's up to you if you let yourself change for the better or worse.
85
I know for me, I'm always ready for an adventure,
86
and I'm not holding back.
87
Love knows no boundaries, so keep your heart open and stay strong.
88
Good luck.
89
you

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
このビデオは、恋愛や人間関係についての生の経験を共有しており、英語を学ぶ上で非常に有益です。特に長距離恋愛の背景を持つストーリーは、感情的なつながりやコミュニケーションの重要性を強調しています。このような実際の会話を聞くことで、日常生活に役立つ英会話スキルを磨くことができ、英語の発音を良くするためのトレーニングにもなります。会話の流れやテンポを理解しながら自ら話す練習もできるため、初めてのshadow speakに最適です。
文法・表現の文脈
このビデオには、いくつかの重要な文法構造と表現があります。以下はその中でも特に注目すべきポイントです：
- 感情を表現する文:「I felt really bad.」など、自分の気持ちを直接表現することで、聞き手に分かりやすく伝えることができます。
- 過去形の使用:物語の流れを明確にするために過去形を多く用いる、例：「I went just about everywhere」など。
- 提案や依頼を表す文:「Do you need help?」のように、相手に対して親切に尋ねるフレーズを使用しています。これは日常会話でとても役立つ部分です。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオでは、いくつかの発音の難しい単語やアクセントがあります。特に次の言葉には注意が必要です：
- 「embarrassed」:この単語は、母音の発音が難しく、正しく発声するのに苦労する人が多いです。
- 「café」:フランス語由来の言葉ですが、英語では正しいアクセントが求められます。
- 「relationship」:この単語も発音が難しく、特に「ship」の部分で多くの学習者が間違えやすいです。
これらのトラップを意識しながら練習することで、shadowspeakのスキルを向上させ、自然な会話ができるようになるでしょう。毎日の練習が、効果的なshadow speechにつながります！
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。
