(2) My English Study Record & Verb List for Japanese Learners

 

Time

①Taking Note & Shadowing (You don't have to take note all, just interesting parts.) 気になった表現のみ覚えるまでShadowingしながら書く。

②I pick up just verbs for someone learning Japanese because a verb is very important part to structure a sentence.

Moscow residents stood in long queues for ATM Tuesday, as western sanctions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine hit residents on the street.

ーのために長い列を作って並ぶ (ーのために　ながいれつを　つくってならぶ) ーがーに直撃する (ーがーにちょくげきする)

0:12

As France declared an all-out economic and financial war against the country on Tuesday to bring down its economy, before French finance minister Bruno Lemaire rowed back on language he later said was inappropriate.

ーを宣言する （ーをせんげんする） ーを崩壊させる （ーをほうかいさせる） ーを撤回する （ーをてっかいする）

0:41

Some expressed concerns that the Russian government would freeze their currency savings.

ーを表す （ーをあらわす） ーを凍結する （ーをとうけつする）

0:55

I am scared that the government will expropriate all the money or bank cards will get frozen, I don't know.

ーを接収する （ーをせっしゅうする） ーが凍結される

--watch your tongue gentleman and don't forget in human history, economic wars quite often turned into real ones.

ーがーに変わる

1:56

Moscow metro notified passengers of potential issues with contactless payments for rides and asked them to use bank cards instead.

ーにーを通知する （ーにーをつうちする）

③To remember each expression, look at ②Japanese Verbs and guess English verbs, supplement Subj & Obj to make minimum structure "S+V+O" (You don't have to remember all, but just start from "SVO".

E.g., (1) I guess ーのために長い列を作って並ぶ as "stand in long queues" in English. (2) What was Subj? Residents! Which? Moscow residents ! (3) What was Obj or Preposition + Noun.., ATM! (4) Enough to make SVO, Finally, I got Russian residents stood in long queues for ATM. Gradually, try to make longer sentence. Japanese Learners can apply this way to your study.

(3) For Who: どんな学習者向けのコンテンツか

　

英語の勉強をしている人のために、YouTubeのビデオを使った自習のやり方を共有しようと思います。（日本語学習者のための日本社会や文化に関連した情報や表現も載せています。）

 

To study English, I am using　some YouTube videos. I will share my way of learning and practice for people learning English. Moreover, I will introduce some information/expressions related to Japanese Society and Culture for someone learning Japanese.

 

(4) How to improve Speaking & Writing: 会話、作文の勉強方法

 

1, 英語の勉強をしている方は、毎回載せてある引用元動画をみてください。YouTube の字幕機能をONにして、自分が気になった表現のみ、動画を止めて、何も見ずに言えるようになるまでシャドーイングしながら、表現をExcelやGoogleスプレッドシートに書き写してください。

 

1, (For English Learners), I will introduce short YouTube video each time. Turn of subtitle on and check the video that I refer to. Only when you find a sentence with interesting/unknown expressions, just stop the video, repeat the whole sentences until you remember. Try to transcribe the whole sentence to Excel/Google Sheets as your Expression List. 

 

 2, 日本語の学習者のために重要そうな動詞のみ書き出してみました。勉強に役立てていただければ幸いです。

 

2,　(For Japanese Learners), Look at the above ② list. I picked up only Verbs in Japanese because a Verb is very important to structure a sentence. The verb List might be helpful for someone learning Japanese.

 

3, 答えの①の文は見ずに、②の日本語の動詞のみを見て、英語の動詞を思い出します。動詞に対応する主語と目的語は何だったかを考えながら、即座にSVOの簡単な文を復元して声に出していってみてください。最初はSVOの最小の構造だけ覚えればいいと思います。余裕があれば、その他の形容詞や副詞も足して、徐々に文を長くしていってもいいと思います。

 

3, (For English Learners) I use the Verb list. Without looking at the ①　answer list, just look at the Japanese verb, try to remember the English Verb, and try to remember Subject and Object to make minimum SVO structure. As practice, making minimum structure is enough but if you like, try to make longer, complete sentence by adding adjectives and adverbs.
