  1. 01Read Out Loud

    Hi, everyone. I'm a nursing student from Turkey. A year ago, I could read English well, but I couldn't speak smoothly. Then I started reading out loud every day. Today, I want to recommend this habit to you.

    皆さん、こんにちは。私はトルコ出身の看護学生です。1年前、英語を読むことはよくできましたが、スムーズに話すことはできませんでした。そこで、毎日音読を始めました。今日は、この習慣を皆さんにおすすめしたいと思います。

  2. 02Reason 1: Your Mouth Gets Practice

    The first reason is that your mouth gets practice. Speaking is partly physical. When you read aloud, you train your mouth to make English sounds without thinking too hard.

    一つ目の理由は、口の練習になることです。話すことには、体を動かす面もあります。声に出して読むと、あまり考えなくても英語の音を出せるように、口をきたえられます。

  3. 03Reason 2: You Learn Natural Phrases

    Second, you learn natural phrases. When you say a sentence many times, phrases like "to be honest" or "it turns out" stay in your memory. Later, they come out naturally when you speak.

    二つ目に、自然な言い回しが身につきます。一つの文を何度も口にすると、「to be honest」や「it turns out」のような言い回しが記憶に残ります。あとで話すときに、それが自然に出てくるのです。

  4. 04Reason 3: It's Easy to Start

    Third, it's easy to start. You don't need a partner, a teacher, or an app. All you need is a text and ten minutes a day.

    三つ目に、始めるのが簡単です。相手も先生もアプリもいりません。必要なのは、文章と1日10分だけです。

  5. 05How to Do It

    Here's how I do it. I choose a short text that also has audio. First, I listen once. Then I read it aloud three times, trying to copy the rhythm and stress.

    私のやり方を紹介します。音声もついている短い文章を選びます。まず、1回聞きます。それから、リズムや強く読むところをまねしながら、3回声に出して読みます。

  6. 06A Tip: Record Yourself

    One more tip: record yourself on your phone once a week. It feels strange at first, but you'll hear your progress clearly. I was surprised by my own recordings after three months.

    もう一つのコツは、週に1回、スマホで自分の声を録音することです。最初は変な感じがしますが、自分の上達がはっきり聞こえます。3か月後の自分の録音には、驚かされました。

  7. 07Conclusion

    In conclusion, reading out loud is simple, free, and it really works for me. Why not try ten minutes tonight? You can even start with this presentation. Thank you.

    まとめると、音読は簡単で、お金もかからず、私には本当に効果がありました。今夜、10分試してみませんか?このプレゼンから始めてもいいですよ。ありがとうございました。
