DMM英会話メモ#19

DMM英会話を2023年1月から始めた人の復習note
聞き取れなかった部分をレッスンの録音機能で聞き返したり、気になった部分をメモ


【2023.05】#62〜64

文法ばかりに意識を向けない!とりあえず喋り始めてみる
最近全神経集中して文法に気を向けすぎてたなと思った…
とはいっても間違えたまま慣れるのも嫌だしバランス難しい〜
でも、もうちょっと適当に喋ろうと思った


自分から自発的に喋る
最近、英会話スクールの方で全然ちゃんと喋れてないな…となんとなく伸び悩んでる気持ちがあったけど、今週は「もうちょっと適当に喋る」を意識したらいつもより自分から話を振ることが出来た…!

且つ、文法ぐちゃぐちゃだと気づいたら自分で言い直すこともできたから、やっぱ気負いすぎないくらいで丁度良いな…わかってはいたけど難しい😂


「はっきり」発音する
前と比べたらだいーーーぶマシになってきたと思うけど、意識しておかないとぼそぼそオタクしゃべりになってまう


○「ChatGPT」英語での擬似チャット遊びに使うの楽しいかも…
饒舌に語彙豊富な返答してくれて勉強になる…笑




#62-Describing Pictures

○インドネシアの男性講師の方と(2回目)

写真描写ちょっと慣れたと思いきや今回はダメダメだった…

やっぱり教材によってそれぞれでレッスンしたい先生も異なるなと思った。今回の講師の方とは今度からはデイリーニュースをしたいな…



Family Barbecue

元:There are three men and two women. At the front of them there is a grandfather and he is cooking meat and he looks enjoy. He is wearing yellow shirt and blue and white apron. Behind him, grandmother and a mother is sitting near the father. The mother is wearing blue shirt and white pants.  I can see green behind them.

There are three men and two women. In front of them, there is a man who seems to be the grandfather and he is grilling meat. Looks like he is enjoying cooking. He is wearing a yellow shirt and blue and a white apron. Behind him, the grandmother and the mother are sitting near the father. The mother is wearing a blue shirt and a white pants. I can see the green trees behind them.


It looks like a picture of a family enjoying a barbecue.
喋り出し悩んだ時はこう言う始め方もありかなぁ…

●Her son is standing with his hands on his mother's chair.
ー椅子に手をついて立っている


"a"抜けがすごい…写真に5人写ってたから、全員分の服装の説明するべき…!?と慌ててしまってなんか…めちゃくちゃぐだった…



Books & Coffee

元:There is a woman wearing a brown shirt and blue jeans. She is holding a cup of coffee. She is sitting on a wooden floor, there are three books surrounding her. The right side of her, there is a book. On her left, there are two books. The book on the right looks smaller. It looks like a dictionary. I think she is using the dictionary to read the book.

There is a woman wearing a brown shirt and a (pair of) blue jeans. She is holding a cup of coffee. She is sitting on a wooden floor, there are three books surrounding her. On her left(hand side), there is a book. On her right, there are two books. The book on the left looks smaller. It could be a dictionary. I think she is using the dictionary to read the book.


●She is sitting on the wooden floor, stretching her legs out comfortably.
ーゆったりと足を伸ばしている

On her right (side)→ 彼女の右側(彼女から見て右側)
(どこから見て右側なのかを混同してしまった)



Spa Day

時間なくてあまりできなかったから、DeepLってどう言えるか確認した

●There is a woman who appears to be after a bath, she has a towel wrapped around her head. She has several red pimples on her face and she is touching one of them with her finger. She looks in the mirror after her bath, and I think she's worried about the pimples on her face.

●「鏡を見る」は"look at"じゃなくて"look in the mirror"

鏡の中に映った自分の姿を観察するイメージから。"at the mirror"は鏡そのものを指しているような場合に使われる




#63

○フィリピンの男性講師の方と(8回目)

「適当に」「自発的に」を意識してたおかげで、デイリーニュースのディスカッションも、ただ質問してもらうのを待つだけじゃなくて自分から質問することも出来た…と思う…

このレッスン後にスクールの方にも行ったけど、そっちでもここ最近の中ではかなり自発的に喋れた…!

これ英語でなんて言えば良いんだろ?っていうフレーズを最近日記に書き溜めてたけど、その一つを実際に言えてよかった。
この積み重ねでいろんな言い回しが自然と出るようになるんだね…きっと…



【メモ】

●I had no problems, just had my teeth cleaned.
There was no problem, I just had my teeth cleaned.

ー別にイケメンが好きというわけではない

【ディスカッションのメモ】

●He can eat what he wants when he wants.
ー「食べたい時に食べたいものを」食べれば良い

●When food is sent to him, he can't eat it all up, and most of it ends up in the garbage.

●(The person) we could go anywhere without any problem, but for them, they can't do that.

(I have seen elderly residents living on higher floors making a strong effort to climb the stairs on the day of an earthquake.)




#64

○フィリピンの女性講師の方と(5回目)

1ヶ月ぶりだった!
シンプルな単語を使って話してくれてるけど、ものすごい滑らかにすぱぱ〜っと話すから聞き取るのが難しい…!けどよき練習になる…

以前はネトフリドラマの「YOU」をどこまで見たかの進捗状況をマイレッスンの最初に報告してたけど、今回は全シーズン見終わったよ!と言う報告をした笑

そのためにこれをレッスンで言おうと思っていくつか言い方調べてたのにパッと言えず、ただ「見終わった」ことしか言えなかった…うーん…涙

平日はほぼ毎日お弁当屋さんでお弁当買ってるといったら、フィリピンの「karinderia」と「turo-turo store」(これと、これと…と指差して注文するの意から)の話を聞いた…日本でいうお惣菜屋さんっぽかった



【メモ】

(ネトフリドラマYOUについての話)

●There's a lot of disturbing scenarios.
ー不穏なシナリオが多い

disturbing : making you feel worried or upset(悩ましい)

●Joe in Season 4 seemed to be the most "good guy" ever.

●But the story doesn't end so easily, and many shocking things happen...
ー物語はそう簡単には終わらず、様々な衝撃的なことが起こる


ーーーーー

●My father was the one who installed the bookshelves there.

●It’s been years.
ー何年ぶりだろう、もう何年も前のことです



【ディスカッションのメモ】

●It's alarming that there are some food that can cause cancer without us knowing, because of these additives.

without us knowingー知らないうちに


●Some people are concerned about additives, but there are also many people who eat what they want without being concerned at all.
ー全く気にせず食べたいものを食べる人もたくさんいます。


As you've said, there are people who are very conscious with what they eat. So sometimes they even check the nutrition facts at the back of the food.

nutrition facts:栄養成分
(超〜偶然nutritionを最近覚えたばかりだったけど、栄養成分って言う時はこういうのか…となった)


●That would take a lot of time.
ーたくさんの時間がかかるでしょうね

●And I think it would take them a long time to go grocery shopping, because they're checking each item.


●Sometimes we eat with our eyes.
(見た目が美味しそうなのも確かに大事だけど〜という話をした)

●Characteristic or the image of the food becomes different, it feels like we don't want to eat this one.


Not that much, but I definitely want to eat something sweet or ice cream at least once every day.
ーそこまでではないけど、毎日1回は絶対に甘いものやアイスを食べたくなる
(少なくとも1回は)


●I may see the additives listed while eating them, but that doesn't stop me from eating them at all.

"it doesn't stop me from 〜ing"って言い回し、英会話始めた初期に調べた奴…!!!その時は「映画を見て涙が止まらなかった」と言いたかった

(レッスンでは"it doesn’t matter for eating them. て言った)


●I often buy lunch boxes, but I have no idea what additives are used in them.




知らない方が幸せなこともある

って英語でなんて言えるかな…と思って調べた

記事の内容から、どんな食品添加物が入ってるか知らずに食べれる方が幸せかもね…みたいな話をした笑

●Sometimes the less you know, the happier you are.
("The more〜, the more〜"奴だ…!)

●There are times when ignorance brings happiness.

●Not knowing can sometimes lead to happiness.

●Sometimes you're happier if you don't know.
