All right, welcome back English practicer. How you  feeling today? You having a good day? I hope so.

Let's practice some English. We're going to  read a text. We're going to practice speaking.
3
Try to repeat after me. Say the vocabulary and  phrases that you want to remember. Shadow me if you can. Just work on your fluency.  All right, let's jump into the text.
4
to find meaning and stability in our lives.
5
To find meaning and stability in our lives. That  is in other words to feel that life has purpose and is not constantly changing  in a scary way. So the stability is you know to feel like it's not constantly  changing in a scary way. That's stability.
6
So that is to feel that life has purpose and  is not constantly changing in a scary way.
7
There's a deep psychological truth  we need to face in order to find meaning and stability in our lives. There's  a deep psychological truth we need to face.
8
What is to face? If you face something, you  confront it. You deal with it. You face it.
9
We have to believe that something is  more important than just ourselves.
10
So in order to find meaning  and stability in our lives, we have to believe that something is  more important than just ourselves.
11
In other words, we need to feel connected  to a purpose or cause that is bigger than our own individual wants and needs. I'm  going to say that again. In other words, we need to feel connected to a purpose or cause that  is bigger than our own individual wants and needs.
12
This always requires a leap of faith, which means  making a choice to trust or believe in something even when we don't have  complete proof or certainty.
13
So, a leap of faith, what's a leap of faith?  That's making a choice to trust or believe in something even when we don't have complete proof  or certainty. We always want proof. We always want certainty, but we can't always have it. In those  situations, you need to take a leap of faith.
14
Whether it's religion, belief in God, or  something spiritual, family, close relationships, or a career. Each of us eventually reaches a  moment where we have to make a real commitment.
15
Each of us eventually reaches a moment  where we have to make a real commitment.
16
You got to make a real commitment at some point.
17
A commitment is a serious promise to ourselves  or to others that we will stay with something.
18
Stay. If you stay with something, you keep doing  it. You keep trying. even when it's difficult.
19
All right, I'm going to say that again. A  commitment is a serious pro promise to ourselves or to others that we will stay with something  and keep trying even when it's difficult.
20
Often we have to make this promise without knowing  for sure if it's the perfect or right choice.
21
Often we have to make this promise without  knowing for sure. Without knowing for sure if it's the perfect or right choice, air quotes right choice. There is no such thing  as right choice maybe. So that's why right choice.
22
Okay. That's where faith becomes so important.  That's where faith becomes so important.
23
By faith, we don't only mean religious belief.
24
It's not just about religious belief. We don't  only mean religious belief. It can be that, but we also mean the willingness to trust that  our choices can lead to something meaningful.
25
We also mean the willingness to trust that  our choices can lead to something meaningful.
26
Even when the future is uncertain or confusing.  Even when the future is uncertain or confusing.
27
In this sense, faith is part of  every important decision we make.
28
In this sense, faith is part of  every important decision we make.
29
In the end, nothing in life is completely secular.
30
Secular. Do you know this word that it  means totally separate from belief or deeper values? So if something's separate  from religion, usually we say it's secular.
31
So in the end, nothing in  life is completely secular, meaning totally separate  from belief or deeper values.
32
All of our commitments, whether to people, work,  or ideas, are in their own way acts of faith.
33
All of our commitments are acts of faith.  All of our commitments, whether to people, work, or ideas, are in  their own way acts of faith.
34
We decide to care, to invest our time and energy and to keep going even though we can  never be 100% sure of the outcome.
35
We can never know what the result will be. Even  though we can never be 100% sure of the outcome.
36
But we decide to care to  invest our time and energy and to keep going even though we can  never be 100% sure of the outcome.
37
That quiet act of trusting and continuing is what gives our life structure,  direction and a sense of real meaning.
38
So what gives your life structure? What gives  your life direction? What gives your life a sense of real meaning? That quiet act of trusting and  continuing is what gives our lives structure, direction and a sense of real meaning. All  right, that's the text. Remember this is a English speaking practice. Sometimes you guys  judge me on the text and not on the practice.
39
So, I had to remind you just now we are practicing  English and now we are going to practice shadowing nonstop. We're going to say the text. Let's  say it together. I'll keep a nice pace for you to follow along and say it with  me. Are you ready? Here we go.

この動画は誰に向けて作られているの?

YouTubeで英語学習をしていて、shadowspeak(シャドーイングとスピーキングの組み合わせ)で流暢性を上げたい中級者向けです。「日常的な会話だけでなく、深いテーマの表現も自然に話せるようになりたい」「発音とリズムをネイティブに近づけたい」という目標を持つ人に最適です。

覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム

  • a leap of faith:「確信がなくても信じること」。例:"Making a career change is a leap of faith."(転職は確信がないままの選択だ)。
  • secular:「宗教的でない、世俗的な」。例:"His interest is more secular than spiritual."(彼の関心は精神的よりも世俗的だ)。
  • make a commitment:「約束する、献身する」。例:"She made a commitment to her family."(彼女は家族に献身することを約束した)。

発音を上手くするコツ

この動画のスピーカーは自然なリズムで話すので、shadow speakの際は「to find meaning and stability」のような長いフレーズでも息継ぎを忘れないこと。特に「psychological」のような難しい単語は、「サイコロジカル」ではなく「サイコロジカル」(発音を区切らずに滑らかに)発音する。また、「even when it's difficult」の「it's」は弱く発音し、リズムを崩さないことがポイントです。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、繰り返しシャドーイングを行い、自分の発音と比べて修正しましょう。

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。
