We're going to start with a short, easy sentence.
7
Just say it with me or pause the video and repeat it back.
8
Let's start slow.
9
Are you ready?
10
I completely spaced on her name.
11
One more time.
12
I completely spaced on her name.
13
Once more, a little faster.
14
I completely spaced on her name.
15
All right, great.
16
Let's look at this expression, spaced on.
17
What does that mean if you space on something?
18
That means you can't remember it, right?
19
You are drawing a blank, in other words.
20
At one point you knew, but right now you can't seem to remember.
21
You're spacing on it, spacing on it.
22
I'll give you guys a real life example.
23
One time I went on vacation for three weeks.
24
It was a pretty long vacation, right?
25
Well, when I got home, I got to my apartment building.
26
I got in the elevator and I completely spaced on what floor I lived on.
27
At the time, I couldn't remember, right?
28
Okay, let's go ahead and level up to level two.
29
Here we are, level two.
30
As you can see, I've stretched out the sentence.
31
I've made it longer, right?
32
Well, let's start with a slow read.
33
Here we go.
34
I completely spaced on her name, even though we had just met yesterday.
35
Oh, OK.
36
So this person, right, they had just learned this name yesterday.
37
It should have been fresh on the mind.
38
It should have been fresh on the brain, right?
39
It should have come to them like that.
40
They should have remembered right away.
41
But unfortunately, they spaced on her name.
42
Yikes.
43
That's awkward, right?
44
I don't know about you guys, but I can relate to this.
45
I'm very, very bad with names.
46
Always spacing on names.
47
Let's say level two again at a quicker speed, and then we will keep leveling up and stretching this sentence longer.
48
Here we go.
49
I completely spaced on her name even though we had just met yesterday.
50
All right, slow speed, here we go.
51
I completely spaced on her name even though we had just met yesterday and she was standing right in front of me.
52
A very awkward situation.
53
A very awkward or we could say cringe.
54
cringe situation.
55
Yeah, he had just met her yesterday, right?
56
He had just learned her name.
57
He should have remembered.
58
Plus, she was standing right in front of him, right?
59
But unfortunately, he forgot her name.
60
He spaced on her name.
61
Super awkward, super cringe.
62
Let's say it again.
63
Quick speed.
64
Here we go.
65
I completely spaced on her name, even though we had just met yesterday, and she was standing right in front of me.
66
Flying along, level four.
67
Here we go, slow speed.
68
I completely spaced on her name even though we had just met yesterday and she was standing right in front of me,
69
which made things super awkward.
70
Okay, one more time, quick speed.
71
I completely spaced on her name even though we had just met yesterday and she was standing right in front of me, which made things super awkward.
72
Things are tense.
73
They're awkward.
74
They're cringe.
75
Let's go to level five and see how our main character can get out of this uncomfortable situation.
76
Say with me, here we go.
77
I completely spaced on her name, even though we had just met yesterday, and she was standing right in front of me,
78
which made things super awkward because I had to introduce her to my boss.
79
Oh, no. This is a real nightmare scenario.
80
This is the kind of situation that's like my worst nightmare.
81
Being in a position, being in a scenario,
82
being in a situation where it's revealed that you forgot someone's name,
83
someone's name that you should remember.
84
You've totally spaced on their name, right?
85
Now, our main character, this person, has to introduce her to his boss, the person above him at work.
86
Yikes.
87
Yikes.
88
Uh-oh.
89
Let's read this again at a quick speed, and then we'll keep on leveling up.
90
You guys are doing great.
91
Keep working that speaking muscle.
92
Here we go.
93
I completely spaced on her name, even though we had just met yesterday, and she was standing right in front of me,
94
which made things super awkward because I had to introduce her to my boss.
95
Take a look at level six here, guys.
96
This is getting to be quite the mouthful, right?
97
Our sentence is getting really long, but this is fantastic practice.
98
It's like a workout for your speaking skills, okay?
99
Let's dive in.
100
let's kick it up let's turn up the speed to a
101
medium here we go I completely spaced on her name even though we had just met yesterday
102
and she was standing right in front of me
103
which made things super awkward because I had to introduce her to my boss
104
so I just mumbled and pointed this made me crack up a little bit.
105
Crack up made me laugh.
106
This person, they just mumble and they point.
107
We know what point is.
108
He kind of gestures at her.
109
Hey, here's this person I want you to meet.
110
Hey, here's this person I'm trying to introduce you to.
111
But what is mumble?
112
Maybe we could say, speak under your breath, right?
113
You talk under your breath.
114
You talk in a quiet, kind of sloppy way where no one can hear you clearly.
115
Maybe people are straining.
116
They're straining to hear what you said.
117
Maybe they say, huh, what did you say?
118
You're mumbling.
119
You're mumbling.
120
I didn't quite catch that.
121
That means I didn't quite hear you, right?
122
Okay.
123
This main character of ours, this person, they are really digging a hole deeper and deeper here.
124
Let's see how they get out of it.
125
First, let's read the sentence again at a quick native speed.
126
Here we go.
127
Ready?
128
I completely spaced on her name, even though we had just met yesterday and she was standing right in front of me,
129
which made things super awkward because I had to introduce her to my boss.
130
So I just mumbled and pointed.
131
And look at the blue text here.
132
And my boss shot me this weird look.
133
Huh.
134
What does it mean if you shoot someone a look?
135
It's usually a negative thing, right?
136
A bad emotion.
137
Like you shoot someone an angry look.
138
You shoot someone an accusing look.
139
In this case, It's a weird look.
140
Maybe we could say the boss glanced at this person.
141
The boss looked at them quickly, and the boss clearly does not approve.
142
The boss is not happy, right?
143
Okay, let's read this whole thing.
144
Level seven, quick speed, and then we will level up.
145
Ooh, this is getting challenging.
146
Don't give up, guys.
147
Keep going.
148
Push.
149
Here we go.
150
I completely spaced on her name.
151
Even though we had just met yesterday, and she was standing right in front of me, which made things super awkward, because I had to introduce her to my boss,
152
so I just mumbled and pointed, and my boss shot me this weird look.
153
Let's read the blue together first.
154
Here we go.
155
I could tell I'd totally fumbled it.
156
I had totally fumbled it.
157
What does that mean?
158
If you fumble something, That means you had some responsibility, right?
159
People had trusted you to do something and you couldn't do it.
160
You made a mistake.
161
Maybe we could also say slipped up.
162
You slipped up, right?
163
You made a mistake and you didn't do what you were supposed to do, what you were trusted to do, right?
164
You fumbled it.
165
You slipped up.
166
You made a mistake.
167
All right, here we go, guys.
168
Quick, speed, ready?
169
I completely spaced on her name, even though we had just met yesterday, and she was standing right in front of me,
170
which made things super awkward because I had to introduce her to my boss, so I just mumbled and pointed,
171
and my boss shot me this weird look.
172
I could tell I totally fumbled it.
173
Okay, blue text, read with me, But then she just laughed it off and said her name herself.
174
Thank goodness our main character got out of this sticky situation or tricky situation.
175
They were in a tough spot, an awkward spot, an awkward position.
176
Their boss shot them a weird look.
177
They thought maybe they were going to get in trouble, right?
178
But then this person, he's trying to remember her name.
179
He can't remember it.
180
What does she do?
181
She just laughed it off.
182
In other words, that's her way of saying no big deal.
183
Yeah, if you laugh something off, that's your way of saying, hey, hey, don't worry.
184
I'm not actually upset about this.
185
I'm not actually bothered by this.
186
maybe you did something to sort of offend me
187
but I'm just gonna brush it off I'm gonna laugh it
188
off don't worry it's no big deal don't worry about it
189
all right guys let's read this monster sentence before leveling up to level 10
190
and before we do that
191
if you have not clicked like on this video yet make sure you do
192
that right now maybe even leave me a comment letting me know where in the world you are watching from.
193
Here we go.
194
I completely spaced on her name, even though we had just met yesterday, and she was standing right in front of me,
195
which made things super awkward because I had to introduce her to my boss.
196
So I just mumbled and pointed, and my boss shot me this weird look.
197
I could tell I totally fumbled it.
198
But then she just laughed it off
199
and said her name herself here we go guys level 10
200
the final boss of today's video let's start with the blue text ready saving me from my own brain fart
201
and becoming the chillest person i know oh i love today's
202
super sentence you guys there is some really spoken natural native language here okay so this person,
203
she said her name herself, and she kind of saved him, right?
204
Saved him from what?
205
Saved him from his own brain fart, right?
206
Remember when he spaced on something?
207
We could also call that a brain fart.
208
Now, don't use this language at work.
209
It's a little bit inappropriate, right?
210
But if you have a brain fart, then you forget something you usually know, right?
211
What if I forgot my mom's birthday, right?
212
Normally, I know that.
213
That's something I know very well.
214
But maybe suddenly, in the heat of the moment, in the heat of the moment, the pressure is on me.
215
Maybe I freeze up and I have a brain fart.
216
It slips my mind, we could also say.
217
Slips my mind or it slips your mind.
218
Okay, so this girl saved him from his own brain fart, right?
219
Right in front of his boss this happened and in doing so, because she did that, because she saved him,
220
she became the chillest or coolest person I know, A person who's really chill,
221
is really awesome, really cool, right?
222
Okay, guys, quick speed read of this level 10 sentence, but don't go away because we have a cool down exercise coming up next.
223
Here we go.
224
Ready?
225
I completely spaced on her name, even though we had just met yesterday, and she was standing right in front of me,
226
which made things super awkward because I had to introduce her to my boss.
227
So I just mumbled and pointed, and my boss shot me this weird look.
228
I could tell I totally fumbled it, but then she just laughed it off and said her name herself,
229
saving me from my own brain fart and becoming the chillest person I know.
230
If you guys made it all the way through this gigantic super sentence, you are one of the chillest people I know take your
231
hand give yourself a pat on the back to congratulate yourself
232
because you deserve it my friend as your YouTube English teacher I am super super proud of you
233
and I hope you never ever feel like you cannot speak long sentences in English ever again
234
because look look at this giant sentence we just spoke no
235
problem up next we have a paraphrase challenge to paraphrase is
236
to say something in a new way to put something in your own words
237
and it's a really great way to practice your linguistic flexibility right if you want to be fluent in English,
238
you need to be able to say one thing many different ways, right?
239
So that's what we're going to work on here.
240
Take a look at this.
241
I spaced on her name.
242
Do you remember?
243
What's a different way we can say that?
244
How about you pause the video, try it yourself first, and three, two, one, take a look at this.
245
You could also say, you blanked on someone's name, okay?
246
You blanked on their name I blanked I'm drawing a blank
247
right now I'm drawing a blank I completely forgot I totally forgot right now I can't remember right all of
248
that means I spaced on it right it slipped my mind
249
slipped my mind look at number two here things got super awkward what's another way we could say
250
that in English a different way pause the video try it
251
yourself three two one okay we could also say things are painfully cringe right
252
if a situation is super awkward we could also say it's really uncomfortable
253
really cringe really tense maybe embarrassing would be another good word to use here ah yeah that was super embarrassing.
254
Instead of I just mumbled and pointed, what's a different way we could say that?
255
In three, two, one, we could also say stammered and gestured.
256
Okay.
257
Maybe a gesture is kind of like pointing at someone, a gesture, right?
258
So point, we could say gesture.
259
I'd say waved is a little bit different than pointed, right?
260
You could maybe nod towards someone, give them a nod, but those are a little bit different than pointed, right?
261
I think mumbled would be a better word to paraphrase here.
262
Made a vague sound, an unclear sound.
263
That's pretty good.
264
Let out a noise, a strange noise, an unclear noise.
265
That's not bad.
266
Stammered is a little bit different because stammered is kind of like stuttering when you trip up over your words you're
267
trying to say something we call that stammering
268
or stuttering right mumbling is just talking under your breath a
269
little bit quieter look at this one here he shot me a weird look in three two one You could also say,
270
he threw me a strange side eye or gave me a strange side eye, hit me with a puzzled glance.
271
Puzzled meaning confused, right?
272
He gave me a what's wrong with you stare.
273
He gave me a look as if to say, dude, what is wrong with you?

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。
