Long time no see, this is Imai in Toronto. I hope you're doing well.
I think Japan has become warmer, and finally Toronto has become warmer too eventually. It seems that we no longer have snow.
I am taking a business English class in my language school for which I'm working as an intern. I had complained about learning English because I studied French in Montreal and in my opinion English is less beautiful than French (especially to ears).
To be honest, English sounds beautiful if the speaker is a native English speaker, or the one who can speak like them.
Currently I'm trying to speak English like a native speaker.
I'm doing shadowing now (shadowing is a method originally for translators).
As a material for shadowing, I have watched Seinfeld on Netflix.
Seinfeld - https://g.co/kgs/qs6eib
First comprehend what's going on with subtitres and reading them. After that turn off the subtitres and doing shadowing.
I know this article is boring but shadowing is really working for me. I just wanted to tell the worth.
I used to think English people don't have a keen sense of detail when it comes to things, but actually they do.
I can see the sense while watching Seinfeld and that makes it really enjoyable.
Now I realize that I need to practice writing because I can not feel any sense of humor from this article
(Probably my sense of humor is dying. I'm feeling that.)
I wrote this article with a little (I would say a little) help from ChatGPT.
If you've not tried it before, you can start from "Try ChatGPT" of this page.
And I also share an youtube video which motivated me to start shadowing (this is in Japanese.)
Thanks for reading!
