ネイティブのように英語を話せるようになるにはこれしかない
英会話レベルアップ方法(中級〜）
「言語は会話が全て」だと思っています。
日本の英語教育は、会話よりも受験英語に重きをおいていて、世界的に見ても「英語が話せない先進国ナンバーワン」なのではないでしょうか。
だ・け・ど
日本の高卒レベルでも、英語って話せるんですよね。
実際、日常会話なんて中学生英語でまじでok。
会話の仕方、文章の組み立て方を知らないだけなんですよね。
英語をどれくらい話したいか決める
「自分がどう話したいか」を決めることがまず重要だと思います。
一生懸命の片言で旅行で道を聞ければokなのか、日本の文化を話したいのか、政治のことまで話したいのか、ビジネスの中で交渉がしたいのか、どの場面でどれくらいのレベルのコミュニケーションをとりたいのか必ず決めておくことが大切だと思います。
私の場合
- 英語で自分の視野と見解を広げたい
- 身の安全を保持したい
これだけです。
私は英語マニアで、中学生から唯一プライドを持って一日中勉強していたのが英語。朝起きると、アメリカンアーミーのラジオをつけて、通学中はTIMEを読み笑、国際化だったので毎日２〜４科目は英語の授業で、放課後は毎日英会話スクールに２、３時間入り浸っていました。「文法ができない会話重視イェイ！」は大っ嫌いなので、お風呂では文法書をずっと読んでいた毎日。
とにかく好き。
でも、英語で仕事につきたいと思ったことはないです。
海外が好きだから、自分が快適に身の安全を保てればそれだけでOK！
あとは、英語が話せないからと、損をしたり泣き寝入りをしたくない。
スピーキングを磨くには
私は、綺麗な文法できちんと話すことよりも、内容を話したくて口からこぼれ出てくるような自然な英語にしたい。
英検2級以上、TOEIC750以上あればこの方法で磨きがかかるはず。
ネイティブの素の会話を文字つきで何度も聴く
- 好きな映像を決めて、文字に起こす
- ひたすら点をつけずに単語を羅列
- 目で追う
これを繰り返しまくる。
文字に起こすとわかりますが、全部中学生英語。
それをどう話すか、という方法を知っていないだけなんですよね。
文字で終えると発音やアクセントを「知る」ことができて、耳が慣れてきます。
最終的に目指すところは、映像を見るだけで楽しめるようになること。
このような動画の本数を増やしていけば、かなり変わってくると思います。

sorry yeah
sorry you guys okay so my next guest was a huge request from every one it's been years since we've had time to connect and that's what's been awesome it's just having time to reconnect with old friends and reflect on times that we've shared together and so I'm gonna connect a friend of mine Selena Gomez

yeah I got I got a lot out of the people that you were talking to you because it's just nice to hear what other people are doing and a little bit of what you said it's It's connecting to people you know when I saw what you're doing you know I've I'm in I've always been a fan of yours I think you're one of the greatest singers ever and so I just I was so happy that I even got this opportunity to talk to you about some of the most some of the most incredible people but also just what's going on so yeah what do you wanna what do you wanna know
oh great okay so when I kind of wanted to start was I'm just really happy that you we did thins now DM and it was sweet because you just sent a butterfly emoji and that's enough like connecting with people and letting them know that you're there a batterfly emoji is totally enough so you know what advice would you give for someone that wants to reconnect with the person they haven't you know been connected with in awhile and they feel like it's just a really good time to let people know that you care and people know that there are trees and so would you go for the little things you thing writing down what you want to say in case they call you so you're ready like what's your
well I've been writing a lot I thing that that's been helped helping me process what's been going on and you know I I had I had gone to treatment a few times for anxiety and for depression and for other stuff that I'd been struggling with and you know when I do meetings and stuff a lot of it is connecting with people that maybe you haven't been the greatest or that you may not have thought about so I feel like there's been a lot of people I've gotten to do that with not necessarily saying it was bad but just you know saying hey I just I hope you're safe like I hope you're doing okay and that you know that on my side I'm only sending you love that and I just won't want them to know that I see them and so I think that that's that's kind of something I've been doing but I've missed my family you know it's still really hard I I definitely just tried to use the tools I've used when I've been in therapy which is amazing and I literally dialectical behavior therapy I'm not sure if you're heard of that but that's one thing that helps big times or big time and it's basically a book on how you process your emotions and why the actions go into you know twhat your thoughts turn into action it's kind of like what you were talking about with andts and they completely just and I visualize things so much so it freaks me out so I feel like there are moments where I just have to Center myself let the thoughts come in sometimes I'll write them down and then completely just like sit with what is it what is the root of this why can I get to the bottom of this and it really helps me
and I was talking to Carrie about this and I think probably you know whether it's us on a set or whether it's people watching that run school or workplaces we're so used to being connected in some way and with that is like just kind of it was just so abrupt to just all of a sudden we were in lockdown and pretty much time usually there is a process and
