つぶやき出すには《お題》が必要だよね！
「英語でつぶやくこと」は、英語を話せるようになる1人トレーニングとしてとても有効。でもそれを、いざ実践しようとすると…「さて、何をつぶやく？…えーと…」となってしまい、つぶやき始めるまでに結構時間を食ってしまう。何をつぶやくか？いちいち考えなくても、即、つぶやきをスタートできる方法ってないかなあ…。と言うわけで、つぶやきを引き出してくれる刺激になりそうなアレコレ（質問、問いかけ、働きかけ、…などの言葉やイメージ ※もちろんFRIENDSからも色々抜粋！）を、《お題》として予めリストしておくことにしました。そうすれば「これらを見るだけで、何を言おうか迷うことなく、自動的に、言葉にしたい内容が湧き上がってくるだろう」。そんなアイデアの実践です。さて、うまく機能するかどうか？ひとまずこれを使って英語つぶやきトレーニングを続けてみたいと思います。英語を話せるようになりたい方々とシェアできればうれしいです。
《トレーニング要領》
- ①以下の《お題》を見て湧いてくることを英語でつぶやく。
- ②必ず声に出して行う。（ヒソヒソでも良いから）
- ③一旦、日本語を介さないようにする。
- ④センテンスが出てこなければ、単語を並べていくだけでも良い。
- ⑤Google翻訳などに音声入力し、答え合わせしてみる。（言いたいことが通じてれば良いと思う）
