One spring day in 1905, Albert was at his desk in the patent office.
34

35
Its hands moved slow.
36
Tick, tick, tick.
37
Outside, a train whistled past the window.

練習のヒント
この動画のスピードやトーンに合わせるために、shadowingのテクニックを活用しましょう。動画を再生し、スピーカーの声に合わせて発音することで、リズムとイントネーションを身につけることができます。特に、アインシュタインの考えを表すフレーズや重要な瞬間を繰り返すことで、効果的に英語を身体にリズムを乗せ、自然な発話を習得できます。shadow speakを意識し、何度も繰り返して発音することで、自信を持って話せるようになります。
また、YouTubeで英語学習を進める中で、自分のペースで学ぶことが大切です。例えば、特に難しい部分は繰り返し再生して確認することで、理解を深めていきましょう。そして、自分の声録音して、発声の練習をすることで、より実践的なスピーキング力が向上します。次回の練習でもぜひ shadowspeak を取り入れてみてください！
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。
