I was not good at grammar, but I was told that I was good at speaking

Yesterday with a Filipino woman in my neighborhood.

I was making a LINE call with three people!!

Girls studying Japanese

Because I'm getting better at Japanese

I also spoke English without losing 😆

I asked, "Is my pronunciation easy to understand?

I was gaining confidence by talking while doing it!

Then, "Because Akemi-san's way of speaking is not wrong

I understand because (grammar) is done. "

Did you get 😊

Regarding grammar, I don't think about grammar in my head

What! You think so, don't you?

When I'm thinking about grammar, I fall behind in conversation

Also, I don't think grammar is something to think about.

You don't think about grammar even in Japanese, do you?

For example, "I ate rice yesterday.

Doesn't it come out smoothly?

Instead of thinking, words are puzzles.

After this word, as if aligning the puzzle

I'll remember the rules.

Let's stop talking while thinking about grammar

I don't even think about trying to speak beautifully or not to speak wrong

After I, the verb follows the words you want to convey

I have went there a lot, but

The words ahead are also a much longer puzzle

Try to arrange the story as you assemble 💕

I hope you can have fun communication

... Read more英語や日本語などの言語学習で「文法が頭にこびりついて話せない」と感じる方は多いと思います。私自身もかつては文法のルールを一つひとつ意識しすぎて、会話の流れが止まってしまいがちでした。しかし、あるとき「文法を考えすぎない」という切り替えが功を奏し、話すことに対する恐怖感が和らいだ経験があります。 文法は確かに言語の骨組みですが、日常会話では完璧に守ることよりも「伝えたいことをスムーズに届ける」ことが大切です。そのためには、言葉をパズルのピースのように認識し、自然に組み合わせていく技術が必要です。例えば「I」という単語の後に続く動詞や形容詞の種類、語順の決まりをざっくり掴むことで、頭で文法ルールを厳密に計算せずとも、自然な流れで表現できるようになります。 また、相手とのコミュニケーション重視で話すこともポイント。私が友人のフィリピン女性とLINE通話したときも、間違いを恐れず発音や表現を試しながら会話しました。そうすると相手も「話し方が間違っていない」「文法ができている」と安心して受け取ってくれたのです。この体験から「間違いを恐れずに話す」ことの大切さを実感しました。 これから語学学習を続ける方には、まず完璧な文法を目指すよりも「話すことを楽しむ」こと、そして言葉のパズルのピースを少しずつ覚えていく感覚を持つことをおすすめします。文法知識は土台ですが、頭ではなく体で使いこなせるようになると、自信がつきコミュニケーションがより楽しくなります。
