So today I'm gonna talk about the English language.
6
This is an important topic for all of you because you're all learning English.
7
In this video I'm gonna give you some interesting facts about the English language.
8
This should be fun.
9
Okay, so the first thing I want to talk about is how many people speak this language.
10
Well, almost 400 million people speak English as their first language.
11
These people are native English speakers.
12
Most of these speakers are in the US, of course, but there are many other English-speaking countries.
13
Obviously, countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, and Ireland speak English, but there are also a lot of other countries where people speak English.
14
For example, English is the major language of Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and other countries too.
15
There are a lot of English-speaking countries.
16
Also, many people around the world speak English as their second language.
17
In every country, there are people who are learning English.
18
As a teacher, I've taught students from over 80 different countries.
19
Cool, huh?
20
We don't know exactly how many people speak English as a second language, but there are a lot.
21
Okay, now let's talk about the history of English.
22
The first form of English appeared in the 5th century AD.
23
Today, we call this early English Old English.
24
Old English was very different from modern English.
25
I can't understand Old English.
26
In the 11th century, Old English became Middle English.
27
Middle English is a little closer to Modern English, but it's still very different.
28
Finally, Modern English began at the end of the 14th century.
29
But English continues to change, so today's English looks a little different from the English of the past few centuries.
30
Another important thing to know about English is that other languages have influenced it a lot.
31
So, which languages?
32
Well, for example, some experts say that almost 30% of English words come from Latin, and almost 30% of English words come directly from French.
33
That means that almost 60% of modern English words come from Latin or French.
34
That's a big influence.
35
Also, around 6% of English words come from Greek, and there are many words from other languages too.
36
But what language family does English belong to?
37
English is a Germanic language.
38
That means English is related to languages such as German, Dutch, and Swedish.
39
However, English speakers can't understand these other languages.
40
If I hear German or Dutch, I don't understand anything.
41
English is related to these languages, but they're very different.
42
For example, Americans who only speak English can usually understand much more Spanish than German.
43
That seems strange because English and Spanish are not related, but English and German are related.
44
The reason why English speakers can understand many words from Spanish, French, or Italian is because these languages have many cognates.
45
Cognates are words that have the same origin.
46
For example, in English we have the word patience and in Spanish this word is paciencia.
47
These words look very similar because they're cognates.
48
So, if an English speaker hears the Spanish word paciencia, they can probably understand the meaning.
49
Okay, one last interesting thing about English is that it has many, many words.
50
Some people say that English is the language with the most words.
51
I think this is probably true because English has taken many words from other languages, like I said before.
52
Alright, now I'm gonna ask you some questions about the video to see if you understood.
53
Write your answers in a comment down below.
54
Number one, when did Old English appear?
55
Number two, what language family does English belong to?
56
And number three, what are cognates?

이 레슨에 대해

"A1 English Listening Practice - The English Language"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.

매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
