過去簡單式

Recently, a lot of people have been asking me about how I learned English on this channel.

Ah, first of all, just a little bit about myself.

I was born and grew up in Japan, originally.

And then, I didn't go to any international school when I was in Japan.

So, pretty much, I didn't speak any English until I was 18.

And then, I came to North America to study at a university here, actually in Boston.

And then, when I came to North America, surprisingly, a lot of people were like:

You know, I can't believe this is your first time living in an English speaking country!

And I think I was able to, sort of, get that kind of reaction because of a simple reason.

And I mostly practiced when I was in Japan, too.

And while I was in Japan, I mostly focused on two things to, you know, improve my English

Well, I think vocabulary is a little bit more obvious.

You know, the more words you know, the more you can express your thoughts and the more

Well, that's because I realized that if you focus on listening, you can practice all the

So, for example, if you listen to something with a script, if you don't understand something

if you listen, when you listen, you can just read the script to check.

So that way, you can practice reading at the same time.

And if you make sure that you understand every single word you hear, then you'll be able

to improve your vocabulary at the same time.

And if you repeat, you know, what you listen to, then you'll be able to practice speaking

Okay, so, would I recommend the same strategy for someone who's learning English right now?

And I think I'm going to show you how I would practice listening if I was learning English

This method is pretty close to what I actually used back then, when I was learning English.

So, first of all, for this method, find something you'd enjoy listening to, whether it's news,

And then, try to find a script that goes with it.

You can probably just find it by searching for keywords like, you know, let's say "the

social network script" or "how I met your mother script."

And then, you know, sentence by sentence, first watch the clip without a script.

If you want to make sure that you understood everything, you can just, you know, repeat

And if you can't repeat it, then you can check the script.

Okay, to show you what this might actually look like, I'm just going to show you an example

So, let's say you want to use the TV show Friends to practice.

You know, it's an old show but it's still one of my favorites.

Ah, first find the script for it by just searching for "friends script."

Ah, you might need to try like a few links.

But, you should be able to find one that's good.

And then, I'm just going to go to Netflix here.

And I'm going to open Friends Season1 Episode 1.

And, by the way, it's really up to you if you want to use subtitles or not.

I think you can do this with or without subtitles.

And, like I said earlier, first listen without looking at the script.

And then, try to repeat everything that's been just said.

So, I'm just going to show you how I would do it.

There's gotta be something wrong with him!

Okay, so let's say I just didn't understand what he just said.

And then, I'm going to read it and try to understand it.

Ah, you know, c'mon, you're going out with the guy!

You know, it might look super silly, but it actually works.

So, you know, you should give it a try if you're learning English right now.

First of all, ah, once you think your listening skill is good enough, you should definitely

find something to practice speaking with.

And I think, you know, there are a few different ways of going about this.

Ah, for example, you can just try to find friends who speak English.

But another good way is through something called language exchange.

Ah, the idea of language exchange is that, you know, you help someone else practice your
