1
When I first started learning Chinese, I thought I was just learning new words.
2
But slowly, I came to realize that I was actually learning a different way of seeing the world.
3
We use language constantly to communicate, to express ourselves, to make sense of the world around us.
4
But most of us rarely stop and ask, what exactly is language?
5
And what does the language we speak do to our minds?
6
Growing up in America as a native English speaker, I never really questioned how English worked.
7
It just felt natural and normal to me.
8
But as I started to learn Chinese, I started noticing a few little things that completely changed the way I think about language.
9
For example, in English in America, when we talk about our address, we start with the smallest unit first.
10
So you might say something like 123 Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
11
But in Chinese, you actually go in the opposite direction.
12
You'll start with the larger unit, maybe the country, the province, the city, and then work your way down to the smallest unit.
13
And at first glance, this might totally just seem like a really random difference.
14
But the more I thought about it, the more interesting it became.
15
Because maybe language isn't just vocabulary and grammar.
16
Maybe language is a reflection of culture.
17
In many Western cultures like America, we put a lot of emphasis on the individual, so it makes sense that in our address, the individual unit comes first.
18
However, in many East Asian cultures, there's more of an emphasis on the community, on the group as a whole,
19
over one specific individual, which makes sense why
20
when you say the address you would focus on the larger group first
21
so these little differences in culture and the way
22
that we think also show up in the languages that we speak
23
and something so strange about language is that we use it
24
so naturally and so frequently
25
that we might even forget what words actually are for example the word cat
26
when i say cat or in chinese mall you you might have this image of a cat appear in your mind.
27
But the word itself, cat or mall, it's not really a cat.
28
It's just a sound.
29
It's a group of letters or a bunch of strokes in a character.
30
It's just some kind of mental representation that we have all agreed means this animal.
31
So language can help us describe our realities, but it's not reality itself.
32
Learning Chinese also made me realize how deeply rooted and deeply attached we become to our own native languages.
33
Many language learners, when we first start learning, we try to translate everything word by word.
34
But eventually this approach starts to completely fall apart because languages aren't just groups of words, it's a completely different system of logic.
35
This is why sometimes some expressions feel totally normal and natural in one language,
36
but totally weird when you try to translate it into another language.
37
For example, in English, we might say, help yourself.
38
This is actually a very polite and common phrase.
39
What they mean by this is, please take some food, eat whatever you want, or make yourself at home.
40
But if you translate that directly into Chinese, help yourself, 帮助你自己, sounds kind of weird.
41
And I think it's moments like these and examples like these that help us realize
42
that language is not just a list of vocabulary words.
43
You can't rely on the memorization of all these words to help you fluently communicate with other people.
44
And I think this is exactly where a lot of frustration comes from when we try to learn a new language,
45
because we're trying to use these existing mental frameworks and force them onto a new language.
46
But language learning just doesn't work like that.
47
To truly learn and deeply understand a new language, we have to let go of the idea that our way of thinking is the default.
48
And honestly, this is a really hard thing to do.
49
So don't stress yourself out too much.
50
Just take it one day at a time.
51
And especially for adult learners, when we make mistakes, it's very easy for it to feel personal.
52
Maybe you say something wrong.
53
Maybe someone has a hard time understanding you and you don't really know what they're saying either.
54
The whole conversation is a bit clunky.
55
and suddenly you feel like you sound less intelligent, less confident, and less like yourself.
56
Language is deeply connected to our identity, so struggling in another language can make you feel vulnerable in ways you don't even know how to describe.
57
But making mistakes doesn't mean that you're failing.
58
Actually, it's quite the opposite.
59
You can think of it as a growing pain.
60
And And sometimes those little embarrassing mistakes are the things that we remember for a very long time, which also means that they're the moments that you can learn the most from.
61
I think that learning a language can change the way that you view and interact with the world.
62
You start to realize that your own perspective is just one version of reality.
63
There are other ways to organize your thoughts, other ways to express yourself, and there are other ways to interact with other people.
64
And maybe fluency isn't just about memorizing that one list of words.
65
Maybe it's about learning how to think differently too.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유

이 비디오는 언어가 우리의 사고 방식을 어떻게 형성하는지를 탐구합니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 새로운 언어를 배우는 것은 단순히 단어를 외우는 것이 아닙니다. 우리는 자신이 사용하는 언어를 통해 세상을 보는 시각이 바뀌게 됩니다. 예를 들어, 영어와 중국어의 주소 표현 방식 차이를 관찰함으로써 특정 문화가 우리의 언어에 얼마나 큰 영향을 미치는지를 이해할 수 있습니다. 이러한 과정 속에서 발음과 억양을 직접 연습하는 것은 학습자에게 실질적인 이점을 제공합니다. shadowing site를 활용하여 원어민의 말하는 방식을 따라해 보세요. 이렇게 하면 자연스러운 회화 능력을 키울 수 있습니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

  • "when we talk about our address": 이 구조는 정보 제공을 위한 조건문을 사용하는 기본적인 방식입니다. 문장 연결과 의미 전달을 위한 좋은 예입니다.
  • "it makes sense that": 이 표현은 논리를 설명할 때 자주 사용됩니다. 이유를 언급할 때 활용될 수 있어, 자신의 의견을 더욱 설득력 있게 만드는 데 도움이 됩니다.
  • "the more I thought about it, the more interesting it became": 이런 구조는 강조의 효과를 주며, 한 가지 주제에 대한 깊은 사고 과정을 나타냅니다. 말하기 연습에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있습니다.
  • "what we speak does to our minds": 이 표현을 통해 우리는 언어가 개인의 사고 방식에 미치는 영향을 시각적으로 설명할 수 있습니다.

공통 발음 트랩

비디오에서 몇 가지 발음이 어려운 단어가 있습니다. 예를 들어:

  • "address": 이 단어는 'əˈdrɛs'로 발음되며, 종종 '어드레스'로 잘못 발음됩니다. 주의해서 발음 연습을 해보세요.
  • "community": 'kəˈmjunɪti'로 발음되는 이 단어는 특히 자주 사용되지만, 다양한 억양으로 인해 혼란스러울 수 있습니다.
  • "individual": 이 단어는 'ˌɪndɪˈvɪdʒuəl'로 발음되어, 한국어 사용자들이 잘못 발음할 수 있습니다. 명확하게 소리 내는 연습이 필요합니다.

단어와 억양을 익히기 위해 shadowspeaks와 shadow speech 기법을 사용해 보세요. 효과적인 반복 연습이 될 것입니다!

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.
