Alright, in today's video I want to talk to you about something incredibly important
2
if you're learning English or if you speak English as a second language.
3
And this is not going to be one of my usual videos where I teach grammar or pronunciation,
4
but instead I'm just going to speak to you freely.
5
I'm not going to send this to my editor to edit or anything like that.
6
So it'll be pretty raw,
7
pretty authentic, because I just wanted to share a story with you.
8
I wanted to share with you something that happened a couple weeks ago,
9
and it really changed my perspective on learning English and why it's
10
so important to have good English or to be able to speak English fluently.
11
Now if If you're like most students,
12
I'm sure you learned English in school.
13
I'm sure your teachers, I'm sure your parents told you how important it was to learn English.
14
And I've been teaching for three to four years now.
15
I've helped hundreds if not thousands of students in my programs,
16
and I tell them the same thing.
17
I tell them that it's important to learn English.
18
And of course it is,
19
but I hadn't actually considered
20
the true implications of that until recently
21
and about two weeks ago as i mentioned i was actually in jordan the country jordan
22
if you're from jordan let me know in the comments beautiful country,
23
had a great time there.
24
Something happened to me there.
25
I witnessed something that made me think a little bit.
26
So I was in Petra,
27
beautiful place, very cool place,
28
and one of the seven wonders of the modern world.
29
And there were two tour guides in Petra.
30
One of them very clearly spoke English well.
31
He was fluent, his English was very, very good.
32
The other, probably about 10 meters away from him,
33
didn't speak English at all.
34
And keep in mind there were a lot of foreign tourists in Petra from,
35
well I'm from Canada, I was there.
36
French, Germans, some Japanese I think.
37
Everybody comes to Petra from all over the world to visit.
38
And we had these two tour guides.
39
One of them spoke English,
40
the other didn't spoke, the other didn't speak English.
41
The one who spoke English was surrounded by people trying to get on a tour with him.
42
The other guy had no one near him.
43
And I saw that, I heard that,
44
I saw this interaction, and I thought,
45
wow, this guy who's fluent or he speaks English very well is probably making 10,
46
15, even 20 times more than this other guy who doesn't speak English.
47
And it hit home a bit in that moment.
48
I realized English actually changes your life if you can speak English well.
49
Of course, I knew that,
50
but seeing it like that was totally game-changing for me.
51
It was eye-opening.
52
So, the takeaway from that for me was that if you speak English fluently,
53
it literally changes your life.
54
It can literally put more money on the table,
55
more food on the table,
56
more opportunities on the table, more trips, more experiences.
57
You can get more out of life if you speak English fluently.
58
It opens doors.
59
It gives you opportunities that wouldn't have been possible if you didn't speak English.
60
And one of the things that I also find very fascinating is
61
that there are actually more non-native speakers of English than there are of native speakers.
62
Most languages like Spanish, Mandarin,
63
Arabic, most people who speak those languages are native speakers.
64
But with English, it's the other way around.
65
Most people who speak English are not native English speakers.
66
And English is just such a global language.
67
Obviously business is done in English.
68
International friendships are often done in English.
69
Relationships.
70
Most things are done in English internationally because English is such a global language, as I said.
71
So if you can speak English well,
72
you suddenly have so many more opportunities than somebody who doesn't speak English.
73
So if there's one thing you take away from this video,
74
it's that English can literally change your life.
75
And I saw that firsthand.
76
I saw two people exactly the same.
77
One spoke English, one didn't speak English.
78
The one who spoke English had a totally different life, probably.
79
I can imagine he was making more money.
80
He might have had a different perspective on the world as well.
81
Maybe he was more well-traveled.
82
More things came his way.
83
More opportunities came his way just because he spoke English.
84
So I want to motivate you that if you can speak English,
85
your life will change.
86
I hope you found this video useful.
87
Just a very simple, short, unscripted message to you.
88
But if at least one person can take some motivation away from this video,
89
then I'll consider it a success.
90
I'll see you soon.

この動画でスピーキング練習をする理由
英語を学ぶ上で、スピーキングは非常に重要な要素です。この動画では、英語を流暢に話すことの重要性を実感できるエピソードが語られています。特に、ペトラでの二人のガイドの対比が示すように、英語が話せることは職業や人間関係において大きな影響を与えることがわかります。これにより、あなたも自分の将来に配慮し、英語スピーキング練習を積極的に行うべきだと気づくでしょう。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
この動画では、いくつかの重要な文法構造や表現が使用されています。ここでは、英語を学ぶために特に収穫となるポイントを挙げます。
- 過去形: 「I was in Jordan.」のような過去形を使用することで、過去の体験を語る方法を学びます。
- 条件文: 「If you can speak English well...」という形で条件を提示する表現は、話す際に非常に役立ちます。
- 現在完了形: 「I've helped hundreds if not thousands of students.」という表現は、経験を強調する際に有効です。
- 一般動詞の使用: 「learn English」や「speak English fluently」のように、基本的な動詞を使った表現も学ぶ価値があります。
これらの文法と表現を実際に使うことで、より自然な会話が可能になります。YouTubeで英語学習をする際には、こうしたポイントに注目すると良いでしょう。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
英語を話す際に注意すべき発音のトラップも存在します。動画の中で特に難しい単語やアクセントについて見ていきましょう。
- フルエンシー (Fluency): 正しいリズムで話すことが流暢さにつながります。音節を間違えないようにしましょう。
- ツアーガイド (Tour guide): 「ガイド」の発音には特に気を付けるべきです。この単語をスムーズに発音することができると、他の会話でも自信がつきます。
- ペトラ (Petra): 地名や固有名詞は独特の発音を持つ場合が多いので、特に意識して練習しましょう。
これらの言葉に挑戦し、shadow speech（影響を受けたスピーチ）として練習することで、発音を向上させることができます。また、shadowspeaksのテクニックと組み合わせることで、実際の会話に近い状況でスピーキング練習が可能です。
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。
