It can be easy to feel, as we look back on our lives, that we have been singularly inept in our choices and behaviours.

Why did we waste so long here?

Why didn't we see what they were doing there?

Why didn't we speak up sooner?

Or hold our nerve?

In such self -recriminatory moods, it can be more than merely sentimental to remind ourselves of a fundamental fact about relationships

that we miss when we despair of our conduct they sit in an area of exceptional importance in

which we are granted astonishingly few chances to practice before having to make vastly consequential decisions imagine

if we were asked to become great violinists

and were given all of six lessons to perfect our craft or

if we were expected to master the javelin after four perfunctory

throws we'd know the odds were stacked against us we'd have

compassion for our often miserable performances we'd understand what we were

up against without us being aware much the same level of

unpreparedness holds true of relationships even a highly experienced lover might

have only eight partners before getting married most of us have two

or three someone might have shared a home with just one

other person before deciding to place a new human being on the earth.

None of us has ever been asked to pass an examination in love before going on a date.

From the other side of failure, we chastise ourselves for how little we've understood.

We don't appreciate how much there is to understand how infinitely more complicated relationships are than any musical instrument.

It's entirely to be expected that the sounds we make are frequently terrifying.

Let's imagine that there are some 30 key lessons to learn about relationships,

30 things we might have to get the hang of before having any real chance at managing our lives successfully.

We might begin to summarize these lessons as follows.

Always speak up when you're feeling undervalued.

Complain with clarity and kindness not despair or rage.

Never try to persuade anyone to love you.

Don't set out to fix anyone's childhood.

An absence of attraction is fateful, but then attraction isn't enough.

They should be like a best friend, but this isn't just a friendship.

Resentment at a mother or father has a very long tail.

Someone who hates therapy doesn't just hate therapy, they're liable to hate introspection and dialogue too.

Flee from anyone defensive, never get together with someone just because they are right on paper.

If something breaks down once, the chances of it ever working a second time are beyond minimal.

And so on and so forth.

The challenge is that though we might state these lessons simply enough,

to get the hang of each one properly requires at least eight months and more usually several years or even decades.

We need to experience the finer nuances of the issues through summers and winters, through journeys and work crises, in the slow despair of quiet Sunday afternoons.

We need time, encouragement and the right to fail without tragedy.

We wouldn't be any less generous after telling a trumpet player to support their notes from the diaphragm.

In a depressed moment in middle age, we might try to categorise phases of our love lives according to the slow lessons

that we've taken away from each one of them.

For example, don't keep making an effort if they're not.

Caitlin, four and a half years.

Beware of people who can't articulate their emotions jonathan six months

don't wait around hoping they'll explain why they acted as they

did roshin three years don't have children before the bond is

properly formed way way 20 years we would need to live

to at least 500 years old to stand any realistic chance

of picking up our craft instead we're rushed on stage

and have to work out the right way to hold the bow before a live audience.

Those who haven't generated disaster and mutiny are luckier than they are talented.

We aren't miserable because we're stupid, but because we weren't ever trained,

because we exist in a culture morbidly and mysteriously resistant to emotional education.

We leave things to chance, out of a feeling that it might be cold or unromantic,

to apply some the same basic discipline and foresight that we would resort to before operating a lawnmower or floor polisher.

We teach people to become brain surgeons and pilots, yet leave the roles of partner and parent to intuition.

A better arranged culture would itemise the key lessons of love for people in their last year of school.

and then impose a universal intensive training program with some of the rigor of an architecture or accountancy qualification.

We would think of novels and films, not as entertainment, but as chances to hone the lessons of love we'd learned in an analytical form elsewhere.

We'd use video games to place us in digitized scenarios before we had to face them in reality.

We'd ask ourselves for patience and be aware, without humiliation of how blind we necessarily were.

We've made a mess, no doubt.

We don't, on top of everything else, need to be surprised that we did so.

This is a game with at least 30 traps in it, and we began to play long before we'd ever realised that the instruction manual had been tossed aside.

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。
