シャドーイング練習: Slow English Chat - What I did this Summer! - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

Hello everyone and welcome back to English Cozy Chat,

a slow English podcast which helps you to learn English in a fun and natural way.

I am Maria and today I'm going to tell you all about what I did this summer.

One of the things that I enjoyed most this summer was gardening.

This was the first time that I had planted a garden in my life,

and I had been wanting to plant a garden for a really long time.

So I decided that this year was the year to start

so to make it easy I planted some vegetables in big pots

and I kept these pots on my balcony for some reason

I thought having them in pot would be easier than planting them in the ground this way I could see

if I like gardening and if it's something

that I want to continue to do the truth is it was really

so much fun to grow my own vegetables I grew cherry tomatoes Cherry tomatoes are the small tomatoes.

I grew two different plants of those, along with some green peppers.

These peppers are called pimientos de padron in Spanish,

and they are small green peppers that are typical to where I live,

along with some bigger red peppers.

And I also grew some zucchini.

I really loved having these plants to take care of.

For me, it was really exciting to go out and water them

and trim them and of course to pick off the ripe vegetables

because it just felt good to take care of these plants and for these plants to give us food.

It was also really fun for my kids because they would just go out there to the plant,

pick off some cherry tomatoes and eat them and also cut off the peppers.

And I just thought it was really cool to grow my own food.

Sometimes we would have run out of vegetables at home,

and I could just go outside and pick some vegetables that we had.

The only plant that was not as successful was my zucchini plant.

It only gave us three really small zucchini but they were really cute

and it was really really special whenever we picked them and got to eat them.

This whole experience of having a garden was really fun for me during the summer

and I think I will definitely do it again next summer

and our big vacation that we did this summer was a camping vacation.

I went with my family camping for two weeks.

It was the first time that we stayed in a camping tent.

We had never done this before.

And I wasn't really sure how it was going to be.

Truthfully, I thought it was going to be very hot inside the tent when we were sleeping.

But that ended up really being fine however it was very hot outside

and the sun was very intense every day the sun was shining down on us very strong

and during the middle of the day, it got really hot.

Luckily, this campsite is near the beach.

So during those hot days,

we made sure that we were in the water or doing something to cool us down.

Because if not, it was really just too hot.

I really did like the rhythm of life while camping.

Everything is much slower.

I really enjoy cooking outside, which I was really happy to do,

and just spending lots of time outside,

especially when you are staying in a camping tent.

Everything that you do is basically outside.

And I found this part really enjoyable and different from our normal lives.

I also started learning how to wingfoil.

This is a sport that my husband does and that I have been wanting to learn.

I actually do know how to whimsurf, which is a different sport,

but I have been wanting to learn how to wingfoil wingfoil.

Wingfoiling is a sport where you are in the water on a surfboard

that has something at the bottom that sticks up

and you kind of float along the water while you hold a wing in your hand.

It's kind of hard to explain but it is a really cool sport

and I had a lot of fun starting to learn.

I love learning new things in general and especially new sports.

So this was really exciting for me to start to learn something new.

And we will just have to see if I continue doing it.

While we were camping, some of my husband's friends and their families came from Germany.

This was really interesting because it was the first time that my kids were around lots of German kids.

Usually they only speak German with my husband,

but this time they were with lots of other German kids.

And for me, it was cool to see them speak German with a lot of other kids.

Now, while we were camping, I can say that I truly disconnected.

I really was forgetting about all of my real life things

while we were camping and I kind of felt like I was in another world.

I think this is really important to do sometimes and especially it's great to do it while you're on vacation.

So for me, it was really nice to just have these two weeks to really disconnect

and relax and focus on having fun.

Other than that, in the summer, I tried to do some new things.

I recently posted a video on how I did some art projects,

which I had not done in the past that were new for me, which was fun.

And I really just tried to relax as much as I could.

I thought I was going to be able to disconnect more from work,

but the truth was I still had lots of work to do in the summer,

but I really tried my hardest to make this summer relaxing and to,

yeah, just disconnect from.

my normal life.

Now that it is September, I am definitely ready to start with a routine again.

I have so many big ideas for projects that I want to start with,

so many new things that I want to do with English Cozy Chat.

And my batteries just feel recharged.

After this long break of having more rest and doing other things,

it really helped me to get ideas on new things that I want to do.

And I have lots of energy to start some new things and to be productive.

So tell me, how was your summer?

I would love to know.

Thank you all so much for watching.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

And I cannot wait to see you in the next episode.

Bye.

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。
