5

Okay?

8
but I am going to speak very clear, nice and easy, nice and slow, so that you can understand me and practice.
9
Practice your listening 100% in English.
10
Okay?
11
So, the topic that I am going to talk about today is wasting time.
12
Wasting time.
13
I'm going to talk about wasting time.
14
I'm going to talk about some ways that most people, the majority of people, waste time.
15
Ways that I have wasted time and ways
16
that we can use this time better in a more positive way to help us grow as people, to help us learn, to help us reach our goals.
17
Okay now stay till the end of the video.
18
Stay till the end of video
19
because at the end I'm going to ask a question
20
and I want you guys to write your answer in English
21
okay write your answer in English down in the comments to get some practice writing
22
and expressing yourself in English so the first way
23
that a lot of people waste time
24
that I am going to talk about this is a bad
25
one okay in my opinion this is a really bad one and it is a huge huge waste of time.
26
Okay?
27
Going, going to a bar to drink, to drink alcohol.
28
Okay?
29
Now, now, before you get mad with me for saying that going to a bar and drinking is bad, listen to me, okay?
30
I am not saying that it is bad to have a drink with your friend, okay?
31
To go out and celebrate your best friend's birthday, or to go out and celebrate if you got a promotion at your job, things like that, okay, those are not bad.
32
If you're doing it once a month, okay, once every few months, no problem, okay?
33
Because we still need to have fun.
34
We need to have fun and socialize with our friends, meet new people, okay?
35
So if you do it very rarely, once in a while, there's no problem there
36
and also I am NOT not saying the alcohol is bad
37
okay maybe you like to have a glass of wine with a good dinner
38
when you go over to your friend's house you're talking with your friend
39
and have a beer together okay that's all right what I am talking about is the people
40
that go to the bars okay and drink good good good good every day or three times a week, four times a week.
41
Now I do not know.
42
I don't know.
43
Maybe where you live, not a lot of people go to the bars all the time, several times every week, three, four, five times a week.
44
But here, I know.
45
I know a lot of people who go to bars after work, for example, and just sit there for two,
46
three, four hours drinking, talking with the same people who they see every day in that bar.
47
These people are called regulars at a bar and it means that they go to that bar all the time.
48
Everybody there knows their names.
49
Okay.
50
The, the bartender knows their names.
51
This is a huge, huge waste of time.
52
And it's a huge waste of time because you are not gaining anything.
53
You are not learning new things.
54
You are not meeting new people really, because it's all the same regulars
55
and you talk about the same things they talk about politics
56
oh i hate joe biden oh i hate donald trump they talk about the same thing every day over
57
and over and over and they keep wasting their money
58
and their time when they could have used that time
59
and money to better themselves
60
and get closer to their goals some of you guys who watch my videos all the time
61
You know that I had a friend who passed away last year.
62
He died last year His name was Ernie and he was a great guy But Ernie had a big weakness,
63
okay a big weakness Ernie's weakness Good good good drinking alcohol, okay Ernie drank way too much alcohol and he was one of those guys
64
that would go to the bar all the time Sit there
65
and drink and talk with the same people about the same things And when I first met Ernie years and years ago,
66
I would go with him to the bar and we would drink, laugh, ha ha ha ha.
67
And it felt fun, but after a while, he's talking about the same things, making the same jokes, all of the same people.
68
And I thought to myself, I don't think I belong here.
69
I don't think these are my people.
70
And then one day, something very deep happened when I was at a bar with Ernie,
71
There was an old man sitting at the bar drinking.
72
And he told me, you are young.
73
You are young and you can do whatever you want with your life.
74
Do not waste your life sitting at this bar like I did.
75
He said, I wasted my whole life sitting at this bar drinking, talking to the same people.
76
He said, you do not belong here.
77
You don't belong here.
78
don't waste your life like I did
79
after that day I did not go to the bar with Ernie anymore
80
he would call me and say hey man do you want to go to the bar
81
and I would say no man
82
if you want to go fishing we could go fishing
83
or practice guitar we could practice guitar
84
but I do not go to the bar because
85
that place is like a graveyard for people who are still alive
86
so I stopped going to the bar with Ernie and it was a great great choice for my life Okay, second way that a lot of people waste a lot of time.
87
Watching, watching TV.
88
TV can be a huge waste of time if you are spending hours watching stupid shows, reality shows.
89
But if you are spending hours and hours and hours watching shows that you are not learning anything from, that's wasting time.
90
Okay?
91
Now, I do not think that TV is all bad, and there's nothing wrong with at the end of the day,
92
after you already worked hard and accomplished your goals and worked to become a better person, there's nothing wrong with watching TV for an hour before bed to relax, okay?
93
But I think it would be better if we watched things that we could learn from, like documentaries or shows about history or science, things like that.
94
But, but, if you really, really, really want to watch the dumb shows, okay, the reality shows or the cartoons,
95
there is a way that you can watch them
96
and turn it from a waste of time to an investment of time, okay?
97
How do you do that?
98
Watch it in English, okay?
99
If you watch these silly shows in English, you are no longer wasting time because as you are watching them and relaxing and enjoying these shows,
100
your brain is absorbing input.
101
It is learning.
102
Your brain is learning.
103
So it is no longer a waste of time.
104
It is an investment of time in your second language, in English.
105
If these silly shows are your guilty pleasure, guilty pleasure is something that you do in your spare time,
106
but you do not want everybody else to know about because it's a little embarrassing.
107
So if watching these shows is your guilty pleasure, do it in English.
108
Do it in English.
109
Okay, okay.
110
And the last, the last thing that a lot of people waste a lot of time on, social media.
111
Now, social media, there are a lot of ways that you can use social media for good.
112
You can use it to learn.
113
You can use it to promote your business or your content.
114
I'm not saying that social media is bad because I use social media every day.
115
So don't get me wrong.
116
You can learn how to do anything in the world on YouTube.
117
You can learn super cool new recipes on TikTok.
118
You can promote your business on Instagram.
119
Okay, it is not all a waste of time.
120
But, but a lot of times we get caught up scrolling, scrolling, reading about other people doing cool things.
121
When it should be us out there in the real world doing the cool things ourselves and becoming awesome people.
122
So once again another way that you can turn this waste of time into an investment
123
Start following people who speak English, okay?
124
If you like photography or traveling
125
Start following people who make content about these things But in English
126
and then while you are watching the things you like to watch you're also acquiring more English Okay guys, so these were just my thoughts my thoughts
127
and I am not judging anybody who spends a lot of time doing these things
128
because I spent so much time I wasted
129
so much time on these things in my past
130
that I am embarrassed to even think about it I've wasted time hours
131
and hours and hours in bars sitting in front of the TV watching dumb shows
132
so I learned my lesson the hard way okay
133
and honestly my subscribers are so cool that I am sure I am certain that you guys
134
spend your time a lot better, a lot more wisely than the average person.
135
Okay?
136
Because here, we are not average.
137
All right?
138
We are not average.
139
We are the people who are learning, who are going after our goals and dreams.
140
Okay?
141
I know my subscribers, my subscribers, you guys, you guys are what is called go-getters.
142
Okay?
143
Go-getters are the people in this world who make things happen.
144
Okay?
145
They take action to get what they want.
146
And I'm so proud of you guys.
147
Okay guys, now I'm done with my lecture.
148
I'm done with my lecture.
149
But I do want to give you guys a writing assignment.
150
Okay?
151
A writing assignment.
152
Today's homework.
153
Down in the comments, tell me, tell me in English, what are some ways that you have wasted your time in the past?
154
And what are some ways that you can use that time better to improve as a person?
155
Alright my friends, I said that I would not speak any Spanish, so I cannot say what I always say.
156
But, thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you soon.

この動画が英語スピーキング練習に最適な理由

この動画は、クリアでゆっくりとした発音で話されているため、初心者から中級者まで安心してリスニングとスピーキングの練習ができます。日常生活で使われる自然な英語表現が多く、「wasting time」「regulars at a bar」などのフレーズも実用的で、シャドーイングに最適な素材です。特に、話し手の Kyle が「I am not saying...」という否定の表現を使って自分の意見を明確にする方法は、英語でのコミュニケーションに非常に役立ちます。

自然な英語表現を分解してみよう

  • 「I am not going to speak any Spanish, any Spanish in this video」:同じ語句を繰り返すことで、メッセージを強調しています。日常会話ではよく使われる技法で、リズムを感じながらシャドーイングすると、自然な発音が身につきます。
  • 「If you're doing it once a month, okay, once every few months, no problem」:「okay」を途中で入れることで、話し手が聞き手の反応を考慮している様子が伝わります。このような「つなぎ言葉」を使うと、会話がより自然になります。
  • 「These people are called regulars at a bar and it means that they go to that bar all the time」:「regulars」という単語を使って、頻繁に行く人を表現しています。説明的な文章構造が分かりやすく、英語の語彙力向上にも役立ちます。

shadow speakで英語の発音を良くする練習ルーティン

まず、動画を10秒ほど再生して止め、その内容を即座に繰り返します(shadowspeak)。このとき、発音やイントネーション、リズムをできるだけ似せるように努力しましょう。次に、自分の声を録音して、原動画と比較してみます。「I am not saying...」のような否定文の発音がはっきりしているか、「okay」の使い方が自然かどうかをチェックします。1日10分、この練習を続けると、英語の流れが身につき、スピーキングの自信も増します。最後に、動画の終わりにある質問に英語で答えてコメントすると、書く練習もできて一石二鳥です!

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。
