日本人のしゃべる英語

Twitterを見ていたら日本人でもはっきりした英語をしゃべるYouTuberを発見しました。内容の是非については言及しません。ただ『日本人のしゃべる英語』という観点から聞いてみると面白いです。彼以外にＷＨＯに勤める方で完璧な英語喉の方もいましたが、YouTubeで見つけられませんでした。いろいろと探して、ここに追加していきます。

この人いま都知事選に出ているらしいけれど、どうせ当選しないんだし、いっそのこと英語で演説すれば面白いのに。分かりやすい英語だから、東京の人なら2割の人は理解できると思うよ。話題にもなるし、今後の展開も面白くなるかも。ただし、都知事は無理だと思うよ。

５月の英語喉

またまた録音してみました。自分ではうまくいったと思ったけれど、聞いてみるとあまり変わってないみたいだ。ビデオの中で『Hmong』の発音は『mong』と発音すべきであったと思う。

英語喉、『弁当box』以外の文章で試してみました

『弁当box』で自分の発音を録音し『もっと、こうしたほうがいいな』と思いながら修正しています。それだけでは飽きてくるので、『Fluent in 3 months』を音読し英語喉で音読できるようになるか試してみます。それと同時にこの本自身が面白そうなので、一石二鳥です。下読みをチョットしただけなので、間違いも多いですが、読み続けていくうちに慣れてくるでしょう。

語学の勉強で音読がとても効果があるらしいです。この本の内容も、多言語学習者なので興味深いし、さらには英語喉の練習もできるので一石三鳥です。（笑）

 

（追記）

またやってみましたが、読むのに精いっぱいで英語喉になっていません。完全な口発音のところが多いです。やはり読み込んで、内容をよく理解して自信をもって発音しないと無理なようです。もっと簡単なものでやるか、よく読みこんで喉発音に集中できるようにしないと無理かもしれません。ようするにもっと慣れないとダメなようです。

（追記　2016/4/6）

このオッちゃん、英語喉できてるわ

このオッちゃん、英語喉できています。すごいです。言っていることは簡単なことだけど、喉発音になっている。僕もやればできるかもしれません。カズさんとか、カズさんの教えを乞うような人は相当英語を勉強している人が多かったと思う。だからその上に英語喉をやると英語がうまくしゃべれると思っていたけれど、このKazuyukiさんは普通の人のように思うので、僕もやればできるかも知れないという勇気を与えてくれる。

ちょっと英語喉を練習してみようかな。

 

 

早速やってみました。第１回目は読み間違えもあるし、喉から音が出ていないところが多いです。典型的な口発音ですが、前回（数年前）に英語喉を少しやっていたので、ほんの少しですが、喉から音が響いているところもあります。

第２回目です。少し増えたかな。１年ぐらい毎日しないと無理なようです。

 

Kazuyukiさんの練習方法・時間などがコンパクトにまとめられています。バックグランドミュージックがチョットうるさい。（笑）

 

このカズさんの友達の英語喉がカズさんよりもスゴイです。

 

SHOTAさん相手に指導がとてもいいです。

久々のヒット。英語の発音、スゲェーうまいやつがいる。

外国語大好きおじさんのブログを読んでいたら気になるコメントがあったので、そのサイトへ飛んでみた。

スゲェー。　うまい。　英語の発音が日本人離れしている。　国井 仗司って人です。

http://www.lingualite.com/blog/

あれっ、みんな知ってたの？　とにかくうまい。朗読はピカイチだと思う。話させると『英語喉』のカズさんが上手いかもしれないけれど。

こういうのを見つけるたびに生きていてよかったと思う。僕にとっては九份へ行くよりエキサイティング。三度の飯より語学が好きなんです。だから広東語のネットレッスンの先生がビックリするんです。海外旅行中も『広東語の宿題をしている』って。

なんか気の利いたコメントを国井さんのブログを読んで書こうと思ったけど、それはまた今度にするぜ。ラーメンを食って中山北路をそぞろ歩いてたら台北の石原裕次郎になってたぜ。夜風が心地よい。十八番の『夜霧よ今夜もありがとう』がバイクの騒音の合間で聞こえるといいんだが。このとき俺の隣に彼女がいたかどうかは、想像に任せるぜ。

おっと、本家本元はこっちだぜ。

 

緊急速報 英語喉

最近発見されたコツを発表しているらしい。英語喉会議のFORUMのあるそうです。現在僕は、アドミニストレイターの承認待ちです。ここで発表するわけにはいきません。みんなも登録したら読めるよ。

（引用開始）

東日本にお住まいの皆さんは、気をつけてくださいね。この新しいコツは兵庫県から西（神戸あたりから西）の方言を喋る日本人には、それほど、難しいものではないように思います。というのは、そもそも、（例えば）、広島弁を喋る人達はこれを、実際、しているからです。

 

 あ、今分かったのですが、最近、YOUTUBEなどで、日本人の喋り方で強烈に違和感を感じると思っていたのですが、これが原因だったですね、、、以前に、２ｃｈの西村博之さん（神奈川県出身、東京育ち）、経済評論家の勝間和代さん（東京出身）、、、のYOUTUBE動画を見たときに、その日本語の喋り方が、私と全然違うと感じていましたが、これが原因だったのだ！YOUTUBE以前は、テレビでアナウンサーの喋り方（どちらかというと喉発音）を聞いて、それが東京だと思っていたけど、、、YOUTUBEで普通の関東地方の人の喋り方を最近になって大量に聞けるようになり、なんか、激しく違和感を感じていた、、、。

 

 その違和感とは、ちょっとぼ～とすると、聞き逃してしまうような感覚。字幕がほしいような感覚、、、あ、だから日本のテレビって、母国語なのに字幕がつくんだ！

 

 （そおっすよ～、、って感じの喋り方に西日本の人はならないかも、、？そう流すのが逆に面倒なかんじがする）

 

 しかし、新しいコツと言っても、実際は、英語喉に書いてあるのです。全てのページに書いてあるといってもよいかも、、、。

 

 実は、昨日、KENJI＠NYさんとSKYPEで話したのですが、東日本出身のKENJIさんはちょっとだけ苦労されておりました（が、このコツすぐにマスターできそうです）。

 

 KENJIさん、がんばってください。いや、がんばって、がんばらないように！

 

 ○○○○さん、今回は、ぱくらないでくださいね。日本語でも発声が地方で違う、、、前から気になっていた、、とか言い始めないでね。

I Have a Dream (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.

Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.

But not only that:

Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

The Gettysburg Address (Abraham Lincoln )

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

 

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Rome was not built in a day.

I am learning three languages at the same time. Those are English, Chinese and Korean. I recorded my voice in each language and up-dated them in my voice blog. Amongst them, my voice in Korean sounds most natural. It sounds similer to my mother tongue Japanese. The consuming time to learn English, Chinese and Korean are 10000, 1500,200 hours respectively. Why does my Korean sound more natural than other languages?  Because when I recorded my Korean, I didn’t read any sentences on a paper unlike I did for Chinese. Actually I can not read Korean characters smoothly, so I spoke  Korean as I memorized. That’s the reason for it.

 

If you would like to speak in any foreign language naturally, the best way is to memorize your text book, I think.

 

 Saying is one thing, doing another.
