1
Look at that.
2
Oh my gosh.
3
Look at it.
4
This reality is something else.
5
My beautiful friends.
6
Look how gorgeous light is.
7
Ah, I'm in heaven.
8
It's the simple things, it's the simple things in life that can honestly bring the most joy.
9
Like a beautiful sunset on a beach.
10
Just a walk, I'm on my own.
11
I'm going to keep this one real short for you.
12
I could have not shared this moment with you.
13
It doesn't matter how hard it gets, it's always worth it.
14
It's always, always worth it.
15
Remember that. Or don't.
16
Forget it.
17
You will remember it when you come out the other side of whatever it is you're moving through.
18
It wasn't that long ago that I was in a state where I was like, I couldn't even get out of bed in the I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning.
19
I didn't want to eat the right food.
20
I didn't want to move my body.
21
I didn't want to go for a walk because I was stuck in the pit and that's okay.
22
But there was a part of me
23
that was like this isn't going to last forever
24
and it's worth it it's worth moving through it keep going I don't know who needs to hear this
25
but I needed to hear this a few times
26
keep going it's so worth it in fact the hard parts make this worth it like the appreciation
27
that I can have when I'm just feeling normal I'm so much more grateful gratitude is through the roof
28
thanks to the difficult times besides
29
joy and peace
30
and happiness wouldn't really have the same sort of value without
31
a little bit of despair a little bit of chaos
32
and a little bit of depression
33
when i'm feeling depressed sometimes i feel really guilty as well like i shouldn't be feeling this way
34
or if i'm feeling angry
35
especially if I'm feeling angry because I was programmed as a kid to feel shame when I'm angry, to feel shame when I'm sad,
36
actually to feel shame around any kind of authentic expression of my emotions.
37
So I had to reprogram that so that I could express myself,
38
which helps lift me out of depression look at this ah okay
39
and so if you're this
40
if you're like me where you kind of feel like oh
41
my god i shouldn't be feeling this acceptance is your first invitation accept how the way things are we can't actually
42
take any steps forwards until we accept the way things are in this moment it's part of the process
43
don't should on yourself oh i should be feeling happier than this
44
or i should be calm or i should be more healed than this
45
or i should be this that and the other or i shouldn't be this shouldn't be that.
46
Fuck that.
47
You are perfect as you are.
48
And quite frankly, depression, anxiety, mental health, disorders, right?
49
They're called disorders as if there's something wrong.
50
In the current societal paradigm that we're in, depression and anxiety is actually the correct human response.
51
There is nothing wrong with you for feeling depressed in a paradigm
52
that is worshipping capitalism
53
and profit as its main god depression is the correct response to someone who feels a lot
54
or or anybody Anybody who feels anything.
55
Anybody who feels anything.
56
And is connected to the truth of how savage the current paradigm is that humans are operating in.
57
You are not wrong for feeling depressed.
58
You are not wrong for feeling anxious.
59
You are not wrong for feeling fucking anger either.
60
We don't project it at other people, but these are beautiful, authentic human responses from the humanity within you.
61
from that energy wanting and wanting change in the world.
62
That's psychopathic.
63
When you can't empathically connect to other humans around you, that's psychopathic.
64
And how fucked is it, by the way, that in Western medicine,
65
these authentic human responses to the current paradigm are seen as pathologies,
66
like there's something wrong with you and not the whole system, that's fucked, mate.
67
But it's changing, which is great news.
68
Meanwhile, feel your feelings, release them,
69
express yourself, and be really kind and gentle with yourself and everybody else as we go through these intense times.
70
Peace.
71
I love you.
72
Thank you.
なぜこの動画で話す練習をするのか？
この動画は、感情的な経験や人生のシンプルな喜びについて話しています。英語を話す際、自分の感情や経験を表現することは非常に重要です。このようなテーマに基づいた内容で、英語スピーキング練習を行うことは、語彙を増やし、自分の考えを明確に伝えるスキルを向上させる手助けとなります。
特に、心の健康やその過程で感じる喜びや苦しみについて語ることで、リアルな会話を模倣し、自分の言葉でそれを再現する力を養うことができます。これにより、YouTubeで英語学習を通じて、より豊かなコミュニケーションが可能になるでしょう。
文法と表現の分析
この動画には、いくつかの重要な構造が含まれています。以下にその一部を挙げます：
- 「it’s always worth it」 - 状態や経験が常に価値があることを強調する表現です。このように、自分の感情を強調することで、話す内容に深さを持たせることができます。
- 「it doesn’t matter how hard it gets」 - どんな困難な状況でも前向きに考える姿勢を表す表現です。英語の会話において、楽観的なメッセージを伝えるのに適しています。
- 「accept how the way things are」 - 現実を受け入れることの重要性を示す文です。これを使うことで、自分自身や他者に対してより優しい言葉を掛けることができます。
これらの表現は、shadow speechの技法を使って練習することで、より自然に口に出せるようになります。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
この動画にはいくつかの発音が難しい言葉やアクセントがあります。これに注意することで、英語の発音を良くする手助けをすることができます：
- 「worth」 - この言葉は/ˈwɜːrθ/と発音され、注意が必要です。特に「th」の音が難しいため、練習が必要です。
- 「accept」 - この単語の中で音の連結も注意が必要です。特に「ac」と「cept」の音が滑らかに繋がるように練習しましょう。
- 「anxiety」 - /æŋˈzaɪ.ə.ti/と発音され、ストレスを感じやすい単語です。リズムとイントネーションを意識して練習してください。
これらの発音を繰り返し練習することで、自信を持って英語を話せるようになるでしょう。
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。
