Hello everyone!
2
Welcome to the very first official episode of the Jay and Mae English Podcast.
3
I'm Mr. Jay.
4
And I'm Mae.
5
We are so excited to finally start this journey with all of you.
6
Our goal is simple, to help you speak English naturally and confidently.
7
That's right, Mae.
8
And for our first episode,
9
we wanted to talk about the very first thing you do when you meet someone.
10
Greetings.
11
Oh, this is a big one, Mr. J.
12
When I first started learning English,
13
the only thing I knew was, hello, how are you?
14
I'm fine, thank you.
15
And you?
16
It felt like a robot talking.
17
Exactly.
18
And that's the problem with textbook English.
19
It's grammatically correct, but in real life,
20
native speakers rarely use that exact script.
21
It can sound a bit too formal or even a little stiff.
22
So what should we say instead?
23
If I'm meeting a friend,
24
how are you feels a bit too serious sometimes.
25
You're right.
26
If you're seeing a friend or a colleague you know well,
27
we use casual greetings.
28
One of the most common ones is, how's it going?
29
How's it going?
30
I hear that in movies all the time,
31
but how do I answer that?
32
Do I say I am going well?
33
Good question.
34
No, you wouldn't say I am going well.
35
You can just say good,
36
pretty good, or not bad.
37
It's just a way of saying you're doing okay.
38
Pretty good.
39
I like that.
40
It sounds much more relaxed.
41
What about what's up?
42
I'm always afraid to use that one because I never know the right answer.
43
What's up is very common among younger people or close friends.
44
It basically means what is happening in your life right now.
45
So the most common answer is actually not much or nothing much.
46
Wait, so if someone asks what's up I should say not much,
47
even if I'm busy?
48
Usually, yes.
49
It's just a greeting.
50
You say, not much, and then you can start a real conversation.
51
It's like saying hi back to them.
52
That makes sense.
53
OK, so we have, how's it going,
54
and what's up for friends.
55
But what if I'm at the office or meeting a boss?
56
I probably shouldn't say what's up to my manager, right?
57
Probably not, unless you have a very casual boss.
58
For a professional setting, you can use how are you doing?
59
Notice the doing at the end.
60
It's slightly more formal than how's it going,
61
but friendlier than a simple how are you.
62
How are you doing?
63
Okay, I'll remember that.
64
And Mr. J, what about when we haven't seen someone for a long time?
65
Ah, for that, we use long time no see or it's been a while.
66
And a great follow-up question is how have you been?
67
How have you been?
68
That's perfect.
69
It shows that I care about what happened since the last time we met.
70
Precisely.
71
Now, Mae, let's talk about the mistake many learners make when replying.
72
Most people just say, fine.
73
Is fine bad?
74
It's not bad, but sometimes fine can sound like you are unhappy or even a bit annoyed.
75
If you want to sound positive,
76
try saying, I'm doing great or things are going well.
77
Oh, I see.
78
Tone of voice matters too.
79
If I say I'm fine with a flat voice,
80
people might think I'm having a bad day.
81
Exactly.
82
English is a very expressive language.
83
Your energy tells as much of the story as your words do.
84
This is so helpful, Mr. J.
85
So to recap for our listeners,
86
use how's it going or what's up for friends,
87
how are you doing for work,
88
and how have you been for people you haven't seen in a while.
89
Perfect summary, Mae.
90
And remember, the goal isn't to be perfect, it's to be natural.
91
Don't be afraid to try these out next time you meet someone.
92
Thank you so much for listening to our first episode.
93
We would love to hear from you.

この動画で話す練習をする理由

こんにちは!私たちの学習旅の最初の一歩として、この動画を活用することは非常に有益です。最初の出会いの際の挨拶は、英語を自然に話すための基本です。特に「I'm fine, thank you. And you?」のようなフォーマルな表現は、ネイティブスピーカーの日常会話ではほとんど使われません。代わりに、「How's it going?」や「What's up?」など、リラックスしたカジュアルな挨拶を学ぶことで、より自然な会話ができるようになります。この動画での練習は、英語スピーキング練習において自信を高め、スピーキングスキルを向上させる助けになります。

文法と表現の文脈

この動画で取り上げられているいくつかの重要な表現を見てみましょう:

  • How's it going? - これは、友達や知り合いにカジュアルに尋ねる際によく使われます。
  • Not much - これは、挨拶に対する一般的な返答で、忙しくてもリラックスした会話を促します。
  • Pretty good - これは、友達と気軽に話すときによく使われる、ポジティブな返答の一つです。

これらのフレーズを日常で使うことで、英語の発音を良くすることができ、より自然な会話を楽しむことができます。また、shadowspeaksやshadowspeakのように、シャドーイングを取り入れて、これらの表現を体に染み込ませることも重要です。

一般的な発音の罠

この動画では、いくつかの発音において注意が必要な点があります。特に「What's up?」のようなフレーズは、若い世代の間で非常に一般的ですが、その返答に迷うことが多いです。このフレーズを使用する際は、発音をしっかりと練習し、相手が答える際のリズムやイントネーションにも注目しましょう。また、「How's it going?」という表現も、流れるように発音することで、より自然に聞こえます。

このように、英語のスピーキング練習には、ただフレーズを覚えるだけでなく、実際に使用することでトレーニングを行うことが重要です。シャドーイングを活用して、これらの表現を自然に身につけましょう。

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。
