Compliment each other Familiarize yourself with authentic English in your native language

Communication I've been doing lately

Foreigners who want to speak Japanese and Japanese who want to speak English

We're doing an exchange.

We talk to each other while praising each other for saying "You're good at speaking," but we're humble and we're not used to multilingual

Because we think to each other, "I'm still a beginner, so please take care of me," it makes us feel like we're not beginners at all 😂

That's fun again 😇

It's important to have fun learning 🙆‍♀️

But you know! Even if I become able to speak!

Local English is faster than you can imagine 😳

In normal conversation, you talk without worrying about speed, right?

Therefore, English also has a sense of speed!

What did you say because American English is also shortened

"???Sometimes one topic is over while it's like 😭

There are always words and pronunciations I don't understand

In that case, skip it.

And proceed with the conversation by incorporating what you understand

It might feel rude or something, but

In this case, it's okay to stay back!!

I'm not at fault because I'm talking about things I don't understand

Okay 🙆‍♀️

It's not my fault to use someone else's fault like a foreigner

To be able to speak English with a stance

Let's aim 💐

💕 want to go abroad 💕

in my book, i wrote a book

The first step is written.

An unknown world to know by leaving Japan

A world that fascinates those who are curious

Why not take your first step overseas?

... Read more英会話で一番よく詰まるのが、実は「美味しかった」みたいな超日常フレーズだと思います。私も言語交換をしていて、料理やカフェの話題になるたびに、とっさに言えず沈黙…を何度も経験しました。ここでは「美味しかった 英語」で探している人向けに、会話で自然に使える言い方を、短く・言いやすくまとめます。 まず鉄板は It was delicious.(美味しかったです)。丁寧で分かりやすいので、レストランでも友達同士でも万能でした。もう少しカジュアルに寄せたいなら It was really good. や It was so good. の方がよく出てきます。delicious を毎回言うより、good の方が口に出しやすくてテンポも良いので、私は最初これを多用してました。 さらに「美味しかった!好き!」の気持ちをそのまま出したいときは I loved it.(最高だった/すごく好きだった)。食べ物にも普通に使えるので、相手のおすすめを食べたあとに言うと喜ばれます。たとえば、 - I tried the ramen you recommended—loved it!(おすすめのラーメン食べたよ、最高だった!) みたいに一文にすると会話が続きやすいです。 会話を広げたいなら、感想+理由をセットにすると一気に英語っぽくなります。 - It was really good. The soup was rich.(美味しかった。スープが濃厚だった) - It was delicious. Not too sweet.(美味しかった。甘すぎなかった) ここで大事なのは、難しい単語を探しすぎないこと。rich(濃厚)、crispy(カリッと)、juicy(ジューシー)、fresh(新鮮)くらいを覚えておくと十分回せました。 あと、相手に「どうだった?」と聞かれて聞き取れなかったとき用に、聞き返しもセットで持っておくと安心です。 - Sorry, did you ask if it was good?(ごめん、美味しかったか聞いた?) これだけで会話が止まりにくくなります。 英語ってスピードが速いので、完璧な表現を探している間に話題が次に行きがち。でも「美味しかった」は短く言い切ってOKです。It was really good. から入って、余裕があれば理由を一言足す。私はこの形にしてから、食べ物の話題が一番ラクになりました。

This image presents the myth that one needs to be young to learn a new language, followed by the fact that adults possess advanced cognitive skills and life experience, enabling them to learn effectively.
