【英語が嫌い、でも勉強したい】と感じている方へ|独学で英語が喋れるようになった僕の英語学習方法

こんにちは、ジュンヤです。

先日に下記のツイートをしました。

日本人が英語できない理由は英語を使わない、触れる時間が少ないってだけで意識的に英語に触れる時間を最大化すれば誰でも習得できるのにやらないのはもったない

今回は英語が嫌いだけど、なんとなく勉強したいと思っている僕に似た怠け者へ向けたブログです。
僕は実際にこの方法で英語を勉強して、独学でマスターしました。
一応インド人の部下と英語で会話して、難なく意思の疎通ができています。
大手企業のクライアントと英語で折衝やプレゼンもしますが、余裕です。

2019年から3年前に受けたTOEICの点数は300点ぐらいでした笑
文法とか興味ねーんだよ、俺は文章読めて、話しがしてーんだよ!!
ただ勉強っぽい勉強はしたくねーんだよ!!休日に英語の勉強とかつまんないことしたくないって人に超おすすめです。

英語が嫌いでも続く勉強方法|多読編

英語のレベルを上昇させる多読による独学方法の結論は「漫画」を読むことです。

多読による言語学習は最も効率がいい

私たちが英語などの第二言語(外国語)を覚えるには、まずはインプットが不可欠です。しかもできるだけ豊富で、適切なレベルのインプットが必須です。これに異を唱える人はいません。

「英語上達12のポイント」より 門田修平 著

例えば、カタコトの日本語を喋る外国人の方と話すと

「コンニチハ」

「アリガトウゴザイマス」

「よろしくオネガイシマス」

という必須単語は流暢で、使いどころが正しいですよね?

これは勉強している教材で最も多く使われる単語や構文であり、意識しなくてもすぐに取り出せるようになっているからです。

つまり彼らはリーディングによって覚えたことを意識しなくても自然と文章を組み立てて発することができるようになっています。

どんな言語であれ大量の文章を浴びるように読んでいれば、読める、話せるようになるのは科学的に証明されています。

しかし日本の学校教育で行われる英語学習では大量の英文のインプットは望めません。

日本の英語の教科書は文法を学ぶことに特化しています。しかし現実世界において、文法は上級レベル(流暢に英語で仕事ができる)に行かなければ活用する必要がありません笑

それに比べて多読は、リーディング、スピーキング、ヒアリングができるようになりますが、文法はできるようになりません。

多読中には日本語を避けているので、品詞だの時制だの仮定法のと言った文法用語は使えるようにはなりません。しかし、英語を読んだり聴いたりして楽しめる=英語の仕組みがわかる=文法がわかるという意味では、文法は身につきます。例えば、TOEICReading Sectionの穴埋め問題のような、いわゆる文法問題は解けるようになります。「ここは時制の一致だから」などという理屈ではなく、当てはめて自然に感じるものを選ぶと正解になるという感じです。

英語多読 全ての悩みは量が解決する!より

つまり学生の頃、真面目に英語の文法を身につけた方は「多読による英語学習」が独学による英語習得の近道になるのです。

記憶定着率が高い漫画を使った英語学習

多読で勉強しようとした人が最初にしてしまう過ちが「英字本」を購入してしまうことです。

英語で書かれた本を読んだことがある人はわかると思いますが、文字の詰め込み方が半端ではありません。

book-1049756_960_720

日本に売られている本の多くは読者が読みやすいように様々な工夫が施されているので読みやすいかと思います。

しかし世界基準で見れば、こんな読みやすい工夫がなされた本は日本ぐらいです。

なので英語学習に、英語で書かれたビジネス書を読む人がいますが、ほとんど心を折られて途中で多読を諦めます笑

またニュースで英文を読みながら勉強をしている人もいますが、ライターによって言い回しや言葉の癖があるため慣れるのに時間がかかります。

そこで僕が提案する多読学習のおすすめが「英語で書かれた漫画」を読むことです。

 例えば「デスノート」のこのシーンにどれだけ英語が読みやすく描かれているのか見てみます。

Everyone on the Japanese task force, KIRA is among you, At the very least. Please think
about that.

Wh-What, Stop joking, NEAR, you’re making a mistake and assuming it’s correct.

Come on, Don’t get so worked up.

Then, As you said, I’ll kill everybody here, and I’ll win.

NEAR, Say whatever you want . Once the mob pulls you outside, KIRA will kill you.

The reason LIGHT strictly demands that we keep the past and the present L’S identity a secret is … No … The whole secrecy thing was decided back with the former L as long as we’re investigating KIRA, Then there’s nothing wrong with keeping our names a secret …

If the current L … If LIGHT is KIRA, Then … No … It can’t be …! How can I believe what NEAR and MELLO are saying, Anyway …? But it’s true that the former L was suspicious of LIGHT, Too ….

1ページに多読するには十分の英語が詰められていますよね?

しかもイラストがあるので、どんなシュチュエーションでその英語が使われているのかが想像しやすいんです。

実際の多読による英語勉強法をYoutubeにあげています

僕はipadを利用しての漫画多読を推奨しています。

漫画多読の際に必要な2つのアプリを紹介しているので、是非見ていただけると嬉しいです。

多読が捗るオススメのマンガ

僕がお勧めするのは一度日本語で読んだことのある漫画です。
やはり一度でも読んだことがあれば
「そういえば日本語でこんな風に言っていたような…」と日本語と英語がリンクするからです。
