シャドーイング練習: Why is LinkedIn so weird? - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
In some ways, the point of LinkedIn is obvious.
2
It's not like Instagram, where you're supposed to look cool.
3
It's not like Twitter, where you're supposed to be funny.
4
And it's not like Facebook, where you're supposed to discover that Harry Styles is a government psyop to turn our kids gay.
5
LinkedIn, however, is where you go to network.
6
It should be pretty straightforward.
7
So why the hell is it so weird?
8
I'm outside the New York offices of LinkedIn, The preeminent career platform where people go for job listings, resume building, and toxic thought leadership.
9
How microdosing helps me relate to the women in our office.
10
What Andrew Tate can teach us about team...
11
At what age should your child start dropshipping?
12
It's earlier than you think.
13
Let me explain.
14
LinkedIn is far and away the most well -known site for hiring.
15
Meanwhile, as a social network, its most successful users employ a very...
16
Specific tone.
17
LinkedIn is mega cringe.
18
Cringe.
19
Cringe.
20
Cringe.
21
Cringe.
22
I feel like there's like two sides to LinkedIn.
23
On one side there is the like digital resume, it's a place where you go to maybe find your next job.
24
And then there's the other side of it which is more of a social network.
25
Rachel Cardin is a social media consultant and author of the Lincoln Bio newsletter.
26
And she had a pretty simple explanation as to why every viral LinkedIn post sounds like Tony Robbins Notes app.
27
The LinkedIn algorithm is a lot to blame for that sort of personality.
28
You know, celebrating the wins or highlighting a really engaging, you know, post that you did on social media and talking about it and bragging about it.
29
The algorithm likes that content and so it feeds more of it.
30
Which is how you end up with posts like this CEO crying after laying people off.
31
Or this guy asking for a special place on the train for networking.
32
Or this guy talking about how he wants to work even after he's won the lottery.
33
Or this guy saying there's not a cost -of -living crisis, but a not -knowing -how -to -make -money crisis.
34
So why in the hell would anyone want to go viral in this sea of cringe?
35
You know, it's so important today for C -level executives to have a presence on LinkedIn, right?
36
It's the world's biggest networking platform.
37
Julie Livingston is a public relations strategist, host of the PR Pattern podcast, and LinkedIn ghostwriter.
38
I think LinkedIn is very different than Facebook or Instagram or Twitter because somehow we take it more seriously.
39
And again, I think that's because it was initiated.
40
It was started as a business networking platform.
41
Julie has built a career off of helping people grow their LinkedIn profiles.
42
And she described to us the most effective way to communicate on the platform.
43
It sounds like the person is speaking to you.
44
Really?
45
It sounds like their voice, like they're just having a conversation like you and I are having right now.
46
Sure, but some would disagree.
47
LinkedIn is where good content goes to die.
48
It's the anti -social network where everybody has to be there, nobody wants to be there, and everybody has to post stuff that they don't really want to post there.
49
And then a few people post stuff that they know will get engagement there.
50
Jack Raines is a writer, business school student, and author of numerous viral LinkedIn posts that parody its cringe voice.
51
I'm a curator of vibes.
52
I live and die by my ability to post on the internet.
53
And yeah, so I guess I'm a professional LinkedIn non -influencer.
54
And what kind of quality content does a LinkedIn non -influencer put out?
55
It was like a personal finance hack on how to save money living in New York City.
56
So I said that every day I go to a different hotel in Manhattan
57
and I go eat their continental breakfast and then I sign off on some random room number.
58
I don't actually do this, but I wrote on LinkedIn like I did.
59
Post it, go to sleep, wake up the next day, over a million views.
60
It went viral.
61
Jack's parody posts point out an underlying truth about LinkedIn thought leadership.
62
Authenticity matters a lot less than being good at writing the specific type of posts that the algorithm is horny for.
63
I feel like it exists in such an odd place because of the very obvious acting that happens on there.
64
LinkedIn is a platform that's maybe even meant to be your most authentic self, and it feels like people are putting on a performance more than any other platform.
65
So if this is the state of LinkedIn now, where is it headed?
66
I mean, I think it's going to continue to grow in importance as, you know, we've become a global economy, right?
67
I mean, so I think it's going to continue to grow.
68
I don't think the algorithm will ever favor just like normal sort of storytelling.
69
And so I think we'll see more people emulate the Adam Grants of the world
70
and talk like they're experts and that's usually how it all starts it's like
71
if you talk like you are a thought leader then you
72
are a thought leader i think linkedin has the like it has the best longevity out of all of them
73
because it literally won't die everybody on instagram could eventually go to tick tock
74
or to another like photo video sharing app twitter could die
75
because there could be another better version of twitter but with linkedin
76
because it's so entrenched with like the professional job network side of it i do think
77
that you're starting to see more and more people post regular content on linkedin so
78
while linkedin is the worst social media side now it has
79
the most potential to be like the biggest one for both the social platform
80
and professional but it's not there yet
81
so get ready working world much like dj collett
82
and chlamydia linkedin isn't going away anytime soon and if the future of social media doesn't look like TikToks, reels, tweets, or YouTube shorts, at least it's something I'm familiar with.
83
Cringe.
84
From this conversation, do you think I have what it takes to be a thought leader?
85
You know, Dan, I have to say I've been so incredibly impressed by you and the way you address this whole topic.
86
I think you do have what it takes.
87
Julie, thank you.
88
Thank you for saying that.
89
I'll pay you the $15 I promised you for saying that later.

LinkedInの奇妙な雰囲気についての会話
このビデオでは、LinkedInがなぜ「奇妙」に感じられるのかについて、さまざまな専門家との対話を通して議論されています。Instagramの「かっこよさ」やTwitterの「面白さ」とは異なり、LinkedInはネットワーキングの場であるはずなのに、時にクリンジーな投稿が多い理由や、アルゴリズムの影響、パロディー投稿など、多角的な視点が紹介されています。こうしたリアルな会話は、日常の英語コミュニケーションに役立つフレーズやトーンを学ぶのに最適です。
日常会話に使える5つのフレーズ
- "It's not like..."：「～のようなものではない」。例えば、"It's not like Instagram where you're supposed to look cool."（インスタグラムのようにかっこよく見せることが求められるわけではない）のように、他のものとの違いを説明する時に使えます。
- "How... helps me..."：「～が私にどのように役立つか」。マイクロドージングの例で使われていますが、日常では「How this app helps me study English」（このアプリが私の英語学習にどう役立つか）などと応用できます。
- "I feel like..."：「～のように感じる」。意見を柔らかく述べる時に便利で、"I feel like there's two sides to LinkedIn."（LinkedInには二面性があるように感じる）のように使います。
- "It sounds like..."：「～のように聞こえる」。他人の意見や状況を伝える時に、"It sounds like the person is speaking to you."（あの人があなたに話しかけているように聞こえる）と使います。
- "I don't actually do this, but..."：「実際にはやっていないけれど、～」。パロディー投稿の例で使われていますが、ジョークや仮定の話をする時に役立ちます。
Shadowingのステップバイステップガイド
このビデオの会話はリアルなトーンで、多少のスラングやくだけた表現もありますが、shadowing（シャドーイング）を使えば発音やイントネーションを自然に身につけることができます。まず、ビデオを1分ずつ区切り、聞きながら内容を理解しましょう。次に、1文ずつ繰り返し聞き、すぐにその後に続けて話してみます（shadow speak）。この時、発音だけでなく、スピーカーの息継ぎや抑揚も真似ることが重要です。難しい部分は何度も繰り返し、慣れてきたらスピードを上げてみましょう。この方法は英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、スピーキングの流れを自然に身につけるのに効果的です。毎日10分程度続けると、英語スピーキング練習の成果が実感できるでしょう。
このビデオの会話は、リアルなビジネス・ソーシャルメディアの話題を通して、日常的な英語表現を学ぶ絶好の機会です。shadowing siteを使って繰り返し練習し、自信をつけてみましょう！
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | has built · we've become · I've been |
| 受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる | was initiated · was started |
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。
