Anything else?
0:43.94 – 0:44.48 (0.5s)

13
I'd like a portion of chips and two Cokes, please.
0:46.38 – 0:49.22 (2.8s)
14
So, to sum up, two medium-sized pizzas, pepperoni and tuna with olives, a portion of chips, and two Cokes?
0:51.68 – 0:59.32 (7.6s)
15
Yes, that's right.
1:00.84 – 1:01.62 (0.8s)
16
That'll be $30.25.
1:03.40 – 1:04.48 (1.1s)
17
How will you pay for that?
1:04.48 – 1:06.28 (1.8s)
18
Can I pay cash?
1:07.52 – 1:08.32 (0.8s)
19
Yes, of course.
1:10.30 – 1:11.10 (0.8s)

Is this for takeout or home delivery?
1:12.76 – 1:14.24 (1.5s)
21
Home delivery.
1:15.86 – 1:16.44 (0.6s)
22
Can you tell me your address and phone number?
1:17.86 – 1:19.42 (1.6s)

Sure.
1:21.14 – 1:21.34 (0.2s)

The address is 345 South Street, Apartment A.
1:21.34 – 1:25.34 (4.0s)
25
And the phone number is 503-850-6755.
1:26.78 – 1:31.24 (4.5s)
26
The driver will be there in about 40 minutes.
1:32.96 – 1:34.96 (2.0s)
27
Great.
1:36.44 – 1:36.70 (0.3s)
28
Thank you.
1:36.70 – 1:37.54 (0.8s)
29
Thank you for your order.
1:38.94 – 1:39.82 (0.9s)
30
Have a nice day.
1:39.82 – 1:41.02 (1.2s)
31
I've been dying to try this place.
1:49.52 – 1:51.62 (2.1s)
32
Me too.
1:52.94 – 1:53.92 (1.0s)
33
It smells so good.
1:53.92 – 1:55.84 (1.9s)
34
I've heard their food is fresh, healthy, and tasty.
1:55.84 – 1:58.86 (3.0s)
35
I love the decor.
2:00.02 – 2:01.26 (1.2s)
36
It's elegant and traditional.
2:01.26 – 2:02.92 (1.7s)
37
Hello.
2:04.46 – 2:04.72 (0.3s)
38
Hello.
2:05.38 – 2:05.68 (0.3s)
39
I'm Anna, and I'll be taking care of you both today.
2:06.18 – 2:08.96 (2.8s)
40
Can I start you off with some drinks?
2:10.08 – 2:11.84 (1.8s)
41
We have herbal tea, coffee, and a variety of soft drinks.
2:13.56 – 2:17.28 (3.7s)
42
I'll have a peppermint tea, please.
2:18.66 – 2:20.00 (1.3s)
43
And I'll have a coffee with cream and sugar.
2:22.06 – 2:23.86 (1.8s)
44
I'll go grab your drinks and give you a chance to look over the menu.
2:25.94 – 2:29.06 (3.1s)
45
Everything on the menu looks delicious.
2:30.42 – 2:32.00 (1.6s)
46
I know.
2:34.54 – 2:34.94 (0.4s)
47
I'm not sure what to order.
2:34.94 – 2:36.78 (1.8s)
48
I can't make up my mind.
2:36.78 – 2:38.28 (1.5s)
49
Here are your drinks.
2:40.06 – 2:41.02 (1.0s)
50
Are you ready to order?
2:41.02 – 2:43.14 (2.1s)
51
This is our first time here.
2:44.24 – 2:45.50 (1.3s)
52
Do you have any favorite dishes you would recommend?
2:45.50 – 2:47.84 (2.3s)
53
I love the Cobb salad and the grilled chicken sandwich.
2:50.12 – 2:53.12 (3.0s)
54
They're two of our most popular items.
2:55.00 – 2:57.10 (2.1s)
55
What exactly is Cobb salad?
2:58.34 – 3:00.18 (1.8s)
56
Romaine lettuce topped with fresh avocado, bacon, egg, tomato, blue cheese and ranch dressing.
3:01.82 – 3:08.46 (6.6s)
57
Sounds interesting?
3:10.50 – 3:11.34 (0.8s)
58
Do you want to get the Cobb salad and I'll get the sandwich?
3:13.44 – 3:16.71 (3.3s)
59
Then we can share both.
3:17.11 – 3:18.35 (1.2s)
60
Great idea!
3:19.03 – 3:19.81 (0.8s)
61
One Cobb salad and one grilled chicken sandwich, please.
3:21.11 – 3:24.27 (3.2s)
62
Perfect!
3:25.91 – 3:26.69 (0.8s)
63
Your order will be served in a few minutes.
3:26.81 – 3:28.93 (2.1s)
64
Hello, Stephanie!
3:35.73 – 3:36.61 (0.9s)
65
Hi, Tara!
3:35.71 – 3:38.11 (2.4s)
66
It's so good to see you!
3:37.63 – 3:39.59 (2.0s)
67
Good to see you too.
3:40.71 – 3:41.75 (1.0s)
68
How have you been?
3:41.75 – 3:43.15 (1.4s)
69
Busy as usual, and you?
3:44.43 – 3:46.27 (1.8s)
70
Same here.
3:48.03 – 3:48.99 (1.0s)
71
I'm way overdue for a haircut.
3:48.99 – 3:51.07 (2.1s)
72
What are we gonna do today?
3:51.73 – 3:53.23 (1.5s)
73
Just a trim or something more dramatic?
3:53.23 – 3:56.23 (3.0s)
74
Actually, I think I wanna change.
3:58.13 – 4:00.19 (2.1s)
75
I want to have a trendy look.
4:00.77 – 4:03.61 (2.8s)
76
I'm considering a short bob style.
4:04.67 – 4:07.07 (2.4s)
77
I don't want long wavy hair anymore.
4:07.87 – 4:09.91 (2.0s)
78
I want short straight hair.
4:09.91 – 4:12.89 (3.0s)
79
That would look great on you.
4:14.19 – 4:15.61 (1.4s)
80
We would need to cut off about 6 inches.
4:15.61 – 4:19.53 (3.9s)
81
Are you okay with that?
4:19.53 – 4:20.61 (1.1s)
82
You bet.
4:22.17 – 4:22.93 (0.8s)
83
I'm so ready for something different.
4:22.93 – 4:24.75 (1.8s)
84
And what about color?
4:26.09 – 4:27.13 (1.0s)
85
Are we keeping with your usual blonde highlights?
4:27.13 – 4:29.39 (2.3s)
86
I'm not sure.
4:31.27 – 4:32.01 (0.7s)
87
I was thinking of going with something a little darker.
4:32.01 – 4:34.95 (2.9s)
88
How about we dye it completely brunette?
4:37.01 – 4:39.27 (2.3s)
89
What do you think?
4:39.27 – 4:40.13 (0.9s)
90
Not quite.
4:42.03 – 4:42.95 (0.9s)
91
I'd prefer a brown color.
4:42.95 – 4:44.75 (1.8s)
92
Okay, let's do it.
4:45.39 – 4:46.51 (1.1s)
93
Let's start with the shampoo.
4:47.99 – 4:49.35 (1.4s)
94
Is the water too hot?
4:55.19 – 4:56.43 (1.2s)
95
Nope, it feels good.
4:57.35 – 4:58.85 (1.5s)
96
And now let's put in some conditioner.
5:00.35 – 5:02.25 (1.9s)
97
We're ready for the cut.
5:04.79 – 5:06.21 (1.4s)
98
I'm so excited for this new style.
5:07.11 – 5:09.13 (2.0s)
99
Me too.
5:10.09 – 5:10.91 (0.8s)
100
I think it will fit you perfectly.
5:10.91 – 5:13.33 (2.4s)
101
It's so stylish.
5:14.95 – 5:16.41 (1.5s)
102
I love it.
5:16.07 – 5:17.55 (1.5s)
103
I'm glad you like it.
5:18.23 – 5:19.57 (1.3s)
104
You look fantastic.
5:19.17 – 5:22.37 (3.2s)
105
Thank you.
5:23.57 – 5:24.71 (1.1s)
106
You're very welcome.
5:24.81 – 5:26.77 (2.0s)
107
Hello there!
5:33.37 – 5:34.33 (1.0s)
108
What can I do for you today?
5:34.33 – 5:35.97 (1.6s)
109
I'd like a cut and a shave, please.
5:35.97 – 5:39.53 (3.6s)
110
Not a problem!
5:40.09 – 5:41.29 (1.2s)
111
Let's start with a quick shampoo.
5:41.29 – 5:43.37 (2.1s)
112
Okay, sounds good.
5:44.65 – 5:45.93 (1.3s)
113
And now on to the cut.
5:50.97 – 5:52.33 (1.4s)
114
What is your usual style?
5:52.33 – 5:54.19 (1.9s)
115
I usually wear it a little longer on the top, but pretty short everywhere else.
5:55.37 – 6:01.03 (5.7s)
116
Okay.
6:01.59 – 6:02.49 (0.9s)
117
And which way do you normally part it?
6:02.49 – 6:04.57 (2.1s)
118
To the right.
6:05.97 – 6:06.67 (0.7s)
119
Let's get started.
6:08.01 – 6:08.97 (1.0s)
120
What do you think?
6:11.39 – 6:12.49 (1.1s)
121
Looks good.
6:12.95 – 6:13.61 (0.7s)
122
And now for the shave.
6:14.79 – 6:16.03 (1.2s)
123
Any special requests?
6:16.43 – 6:17.27 (0.8s)
124
Would you like me to leave a goatee for you?
6:18.79 – 6:20.59 (1.8s)
125
Or a mustache?
6:20.93 – 6:21.83 (0.9s)
126
No thanks.
6:23.13 – 6:23.57 (0.4s)
127
I'm ready for my face to be smooth again.
6:24.21 – 6:25.95 (1.7s)
128
That looks great!
6:32.87 – 6:33.77 (0.9s)
129
I look like a whole new man.
6:33.77 – 6:35.53 (1.8s)
130
Thanks.
6:36.85 – 6:37.33 (0.5s)
131
What do I owe you?
6:37.33 – 6:38.43 (1.1s)
132
That'll be $15.
6:39.93 – 6:41.31 (1.4s)
133
Here's a 20.
6:42.37 – 6:43.13 (0.8s)
134
Keep the change.
6:43.13 – 6:44.33 (1.2s)
135
Thanks.
6:45.55 – 6:45.87 (0.3s)
136
Hello.
6:54.49 – 6:54.77 (0.3s)
137
Hello.
6:56.57 – 6:56.75 (0.2s)
138
How can I help you?
6:56.75 – 6:57.95 (1.2s)
139
Can you please tell me how much the membership fee at this gym is?
7:00.03 – 7:03.27 (3.2s)
140
It's $35 per month.
7:04.53 – 7:06.07 (1.5s)
141
If you choose to pay annually, you'll only need to pay $350.
7:07.47 – 7:11.33 (3.9s)
142
That sounds good.
7:12.73 – 7:13.71 (1.0s)
143
What are your opening hours?
7:14.43 – 7:15.45 (1.0s)
144
We open at 5 a.m.
7:16.87 – 7:18.05 (1.2s)
145
and close at midnight.
7:18.05 – 7:19.01 (1.0s)
146
Do you have personal trainers?
7:20.45 – 7:21.95 (1.5s)
147
Sure we do.
7:23.71 – 7:24.17 (0.5s)
148
We can show you what to do, how to do it, and why you're doing it.
7:24.73 – 7:28.39 (3.7s)
149
Have you worked with a personal trainer before?
7:29.65 – 7:31.15 (1.5s)
150
No, I haven't.
7:33.13 – 7:34.09 (1.0s)
151
For your first classes, we'll assign you one of our expert personal trainers.
7:35.73 – 7:39.43 (3.7s)
152
Nutrition advice is included in the plan.
7:41.25 – 7:43.09 (1.8s)
153
That's a very good deal.
7:44.91 – 7:46.15 (1.2s)
154
Yes, it is.
7:47.93 – 7:48.57 (0.6s)
155
If you want to continue with your trainer after the first few classes, it costs extra, though.
7:50.19 – 7:54.43 (4.2s)
156
I see.
7:56.01 – 7:56.73 (0.7s)
157
Okay, I'd like to apply for a gym membership.
7:56.73 – 7:59.91 (3.2s)
158
I'll sign up for a month.
7:59.91 – 8:02.39 (2.5s)
159
Great!
8:03.79 – 8:04.33 (0.5s)
160
Please fill out this application form.
8:04.33 – 8:06.23 (1.9s)
161
I'm so pumped for this workout today.
8:10.61 – 8:12.69 (2.1s)
162
I'm still sore from our last workout.
8:13.81 – 8:15.59 (1.8s)
163
What are we doing today?
8:15.59 – 8:17.69 (2.1s)
164
You're gonna love it.
8:19.21 – 8:20.31 (1.1s)
165
First, we will lift weights.
8:22.13 – 8:23.63 (1.5s)
166
Then, we will take an aerobics class.
8:23.63 – 8:26.21 (2.6s)
167
And we will end with some yoga stretches.
8:27.45 – 8:30.37 (2.9s)
168
That sounds like a lot.
8:30.91 – 8:31.81 (0.9s)
169
I thought we were going to run outside today.
8:31.81 – 8:34.15 (2.3s)
170
We're going to run outside later today.
8:36.07 – 8:37.81 (1.7s)
171
Are you serious?
8:39.35 – 8:39.91 (0.6s)
172
I don't think I'll have any energy left for that.
8:39.91 – 8:43.25 (3.3s)
173
Of course you will.
8:42.75 – 8:45.97 (3.2s)
174
Don't worry.
8:45.97 – 8:46.87 (0.9s)
175
So, let's start with the weights.
8:47.87 – 8:49.69 (1.8s)
176
I think three days a week at the gym is too much for me.
8:51.65 – 8:54.55 (2.9s)
177
If you want to build muscles, resistance, and strength, you need to stick to the gym.
8:55.89 – 9:00.33 (4.4s)
178
We're building up good habits at the same time.
9:01.89 – 9:04.11 (2.2s)
179
I need to lose some weight too.
9:06.05 – 9:07.49 (1.4s)
180
Nutrition is also important if you want to lose weight.
9:09.47 – 9:11.73 (2.3s)
181
If you start eating healthy food, you'll be surprised how easy it is to lose weight.
9:12.73 – 9:17.77 (5.0s)
182
I agree.
9:19.45 – 9:20.13 (0.7s)
183
We need to make some changes in our diet, too.
9:20.13 – 9:23.03 (2.9s)
184
We can fuel up with some healthy fruits and veggies after we finish our workout.
9:24.29 – 9:27.95 (3.7s)
185
It's time for our aerobics class.
9:30.59 – 9:32.67 (2.1s)
186
Let's go.
9:32.67 – 9:33.69 (1.0s)
187
Hello.
9:44.71 – 9:44.89 (0.2s)
188
Hello, sir.
9:46.05 – 9:47.01 (1.0s)
189
Are you looking for anything special today?
9:48.13 – 9:49.81 (1.7s)
190
Yes, I'd like to get my wife some flowers.
9:51.25 – 9:53.60 (2.4s)
191
It's our anniversary today.
9:53.78 – 9:55.00 (1.2s)
192
Well, happy anniversary.
9:55.00 – 9:57.22 (2.2s)
193
How many years have you been married?
9:57.22 – 10:00.12 (2.9s)
194
Five years.
10:01.40 – 10:01.96 (0.6s)
195
That's great.
10:01.96 – 10:03.92 (2.0s)
196
Well, I have several options for you.
10:03.92 – 10:06.94 (3.0s)
197
Does your wife have a favorite type of flower?
10:06.94 – 10:09.64 (2.7s)
198
She loves roses and daisies, but she really likes any type of flower.
10:09.64 – 10:14.76 (5.1s)
199
You could go the traditional romantic route and get her a dozen red roses.
10:16.48 – 10:21.06 (4.6s)

自分の意向や計画を伝える際に、「～を考えている」という意味で使います。美容室だけでなく、様々な場面で応用可能です。
この動画の練習のコツ
この動画は、日常会話の多様な状況に対応するための発音練習やシャドーイングに最適です。特に以下の点に注意して練習しましょう。
- 話速：
会話は全体的に比較的ナチュラルな速度で進みますが、特に電話での注文や美容室での会話では、話者が明確に発音する傾向があります。聞き取りやすい速度なので、まずは話者の話速に合わせて発話してみましょう。途中で詰まっても、止めずに最後までついていくことが重要です。
- アクセントとイントネーション：
各シーンで話される感情（ピザを注文するときの事務的、レストランでのおすすめを聞くときの興味、再会したときの喜び）を意識して、イントネーションを真似てみましょう。特に質問文（Can I have...?, How have you been?）の語尾の上げ下げや、強調したい語句（dying to try, so good）の発音に注目すると、より自然な英語の流暢さに繋がります。
- トピックの難易度：
日常的なトピックが中心であり、専門的な語彙は少ないため、初心者から中級者まで幅広いレベルの学習者にとって取り組みやすい内容です。特に、注文、依頼、意見の表明といった頻出表現が多いため、それぞれの文脈でどのように使われているかを意識しながら練習することで、実践的な英語スピーキング練習が効果的に行えます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
ShadowingEnglishでの効果的な学習方法
- 動画を選ぶ: 自然で明瞭な英語が使われているYouTube動画を選びましょう。TED Talks、BBC News、映画のシーン、ポッドキャスト、IELTS模範解答などが最適です。URLをコピーして検索バーに貼り付けてください。短い動画（5分以内）や、自分が本当に興味を持てるテーマから始めるのがコツです。
- まず聞いて内容を理解する: 最初は1倍速でただ聞くだけにしましょう。まだ繰り返す必要はありません。文の意味を理解し、話者がどのように単語を強調し、音を繋げ、間を取っているかに注目してください。内容を把握してからシャドーイングに入ると、はるかに効果的です。
- シャドーイングモードを設定する:
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
+3sまたは+5sを選ぶと、動画が一文を読み終えた後に自動で一時停止し、繰り返す時間が生まれます。完全に手動でコントロールしたい場合はManualを選んでNextを自分で押しましょう。 - Sub Sync（字幕同期）: YouTubeの字幕と音声がずれることがあります。
±100msで調整して、正確なタイミングで追えるようにしてください。
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
- 声に出してシャドーイングする（最重要）: ここが練習の本質です。文が流れると同時に——または一時停止中に——はっきりと自信を持って声に出して繰り返しましょう。ただ単語を読むだけでなく、話者のリズム、強調、高低、連音をそっくりそのまま真似することが大切です。「影」のように話者に重なるのが理想。Repeat機能を使って同じ文を何度も繰り返し、自然に出てくるまで定着させましょう。
- 徐々に難易度を上げて続ける: 一つのパッセージに慣れたら、さらに挑戦してみましょう。速度を <code>1.25x</code> や <code>1.5x</code> に上げれば、高速の言語反射を鍛えられます。Wait Modeを <code>Off</code> にして連続シャドーイングするのが最も上級で効果的なモードです。毎日15〜30分継続すれば、数週間で目に見える変化を実感できます。
