One month anniversary!
気が付けば、一ヶ月休まず記事をアップできた！
英語物語の映画見て思いついた事を書いているだけですが。。。
とりあえず、出張まではコツコツと続けてみようかな。
記事一つ、その中の一か所でも役に立つような事があれば幸いです。

【英語物語】言ったでしょ〜！◯◯と違う！
本日の講師はエーコ先生！
写真の状況とは違うけど、タイトルみたいに
「だから言ったのに〜！」というシチュエーションでも
同じ英語の構成で話せちゃいます。
友達との会話ではよくありますよね！
昨日の続き〜

A: Then let’s go to Conan’s...
B: I told you! The new one will be released next month!
A: Well, I mean shall we go to Conan’s cafe.
B: Wow, it sounds fun! It’s totally different from our first plan though. :p
とコナンな週末のお二人のお話。
もっと、キレ気味に
I told you!
It’s totally different from what I expected!
「言ったじゃん！思ってたのと違うんだけど！」
とも言えますね。
若干、ワガママな気もしますね（笑）
でも、期待と反していた時はお店なんかでも使えます。
A: Do you like this one?
B: Well, it’s a little different from what I expected. Do you have another color, a little light blue.
C: Sure. a moment please.
とか。
キレてないですよ〜！（笑）
これでYesしか言えない日本人とは言わなせない！ですね！

【英語物語】今日はどこに行く？ head to
お出かけ会話の定番！
海外で仕事仲間と一緒にいる時にも頻繁に
「どこ行く？」という時に耳にします。
Where are we heading?
どこに行くの？（向かってるの？）
- ご飯でどこのレストランに行くのかな？
- 車に乗せてもらって、行き先を行くとき。
- 単純におでかけで。
何気な〜い、こんな感じで。
A: Let’s go this way.
B: Where are we heading?
A: A theater. We can’t miss the new Conan’s movie!
B: Yes! ...But it will be released next month.
A: Oh... It seems we should change our plan for today.
B: Where are we heading next?
さて、この週末はどちらへお出かけ？
Have a nice weekend!

The situation is more or less...
Here is a comment of Steve Jobs.
Apple Steve Jobs: "If you wanna hire great people and have them stay working for you,
you have to let them make a lot of decisions and you have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy.
The best ideas have to win, otherwise, good people don't stay."
It tells us that good people will leave a rigid organization sooner or later.
On the other hand, if they are busy for their job. They will stay.
However, in this case, the meaning of "their job" is the key.
It has to be something exciting, like building new roads to somewhere we've never been.
Creative people has their own antennas which don't work at a hierarchy.
So, I wonder if they may need a strong signal to work actively?!
I'm not doing this kind of creative job and do not belong to a high class of society.
Still, I can understand this feeling. I had a simiar feeling before.
Imagine that there is no chance to do something new or improve your business strategies without permission of your boss.
It's like a cage... If you repeat the same routine every day, you must feel drained little by little...
We need more or less excitment on our job.
Another key is a relationship with your colleagues and your boss.
However, this is a totally different topic.
For now,
May the force be with you!

【英語物語】seem to be〜で会話を膨らませよう!
本日はこちら!!
さっそくいってみよう！
I think〜とかYou are〜のように言い切るのではなく、
もうちょっとボヤかして「〜みたいだねぇ」という
ニュアンスで活躍しますね！
ではでは、実践編！
“Huh?! You seem to be having fun with that. Where did you get it?”
「え!? それ楽しそうじゃん! どこで手に入れたの?」
↓パートナーが座った席が気に入らない様子…↓
“You don't seem to be comfortable with that seat.”
「その席、よくないみたいだね?」
↓張り切って転職した友達が暗いぞ…↓
“You don't seem to be comfortable with your new job. What’s wrong with you?”
「新しい仕事、いまいちみたいだね? どーしたよ！？」
ちょっと、ネガティブな文が続いてしまったので、気分を変えて、
Youからitを主語にしていくつかいってみましょう!
もっと、いろんな場面で使うことができます!
“It seems difficult for us to go to Italy this year.”
「今年のイタリア行は厳しそうだね。」
唐突にイタリア！ そして、まだネガティブ？（笑）
“It seems to be difficult for us to go to Masaharu Fukuyama's concert at Budokan.”
福山雅治まで出しておきながらまだネガティブ！
ちょっと形変わっちゃうけど、旅行でもこんな感じで！
“It seems we are almost there! Can't wait!”
「もうちょいで着くみたいだね! 楽しみ!」
お、いいぞ！盛り上がってきた！
さて、次はもっと楽しい状況を…え？
なに？
あれあれ?

Sad news for kids...? A dream of YouTuber
‘Success’ on YouTube Still Means a Life of Poverty
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-27/-success-on-youtube-still-means-a-life-of-poverty
This article says YouTuber cannot expect enough profit as before. Also, you may have to work at a coffee shop, even if you have half a million followers...
It seems to be difficult for many people, including kids who are really interested to be YouTuber, to earn a living only by Youtube.
By the way, what comes to your mind when you heard of the word, "YouTuber"?
It may be about those who do something strange and make movie clips with flashy effects?
In fact, I can say it is far from an easy job. Recoading and editing a movie clip takes a really long time.
Even so, there is no guarantee that a certain amount of people watch that movie...
Even half a million visitors come to... Well, is it enough?
Obviously, keep doing that is not a easy task.
Then YouTuber is not attractive any more?
If you think of it as the international communication tool, you will gain a different perspective.
Imagine that you can present your works or can communicate with people internationally.
(Actually, you can do that much easily via Instagram thought. What you have to do is uploading a photo.)
My point is, even if it were difficult to earn enough money for living, it is still the great tool to share your creativity with people.
As for me, I'm not a YouTuber. However, I create some YouTube movies to tell our products in details to customers all over the world.
In fact, I believe it is quite useful to inform how our customers can handle our products.
Well, I'm not saying my English is not good enough for business. A movie clip gives our customers a clearer image of our products.
In conclusion, it's still an amazing tool.
How do you use it?
It's up to you.

Let's take the first step!
As I wrote in this blog in Japanese before, the definition of 英語がペラペラ is unclear among us.
“英語がペラペラって…なに？”
https://fanblogs.jp/timetolearn/archive/2/0
In other words, we don't know where to go. It's not easy to improve your English without a clear goal.
Recently, I wrote about this, too.
“What are you going to do with English?”
https://fanblogs.jp/timetolearn/archive/35/0
Even if you understand my point, you may still think you don't know where to start. When you google something related to English, you will find tons of learning materials. Actually, a short movie clip on YouTube will be the learning material. You'll find something wherever you go. Type something related to an English lesson. Then you will find many YouTubers.
If you can't decide which to watch, I recommend you to follow 英会話リアライズ
http://www.realizeenglish.com
They also have their YouTube channel, and you can chat with them via YouTube. I joined to it before and it was really fun!
Some of you may prefer playing a game to watching YouTube movies. Then I STRONGLY recommend you to play 英語物語!
https://eigomonogatari.com
You will will find a lot of my article related to it in my blog. Please check my old posts.
As for me, I'm writing something about 英語物語 recently on my blog. The good thing about 英語物語 is I enjoy unexpected skits in English. In addition, I really feel my English grammar is pretty poor via quiz battles... Very ouch... Still have lots of things to do!
If you haven't selected a material, why don't you try one of them in this article?
Let's have fun!
(I hope you won't say that's nothing to do with you!?)

【英語物語】英語でツッコミを入れてみよう！
突然ですが、
実際の会話では、英語のキョーカショに出てくるような
お行儀のよい言葉ばかりではないですよね。
話の流れによっては、
「え?! 違うし! ツッコミて〜！」という事も。
そんな時にピッタリな使えるツッコミ英語をヒデオから学びましょう!
とあるヒトコマ。ははぁ、「精密」とは関係ない。
なるほどね。
precisionを変えるといろいろ使えちゃう。
That's got nothing to do with it!
それ関係ないから!
まずはコレが無難にいろいろ使えちゃいますね。
その他のパターンも考えてみました。
A: I heard someone is hanging out with Eiko...?!
B: Hey, that's got nothing to do with me! That must be Hideo!
まぁ、全国津々浦々に旅をしておりますからなぁ。
目撃され、そのような誤解もあるでしょう!
次はもう少し、ツッコミを強く(笑)
A: You know what? I found a good souvenir in Hokkaido.
B: So da ne-♬
A: C'mon! That's nothing to do with curling! I got salmon roe, not the cheese cake!
B: !!
ベタな時事ネタですが(笑)
この形で覚えておくと、いろんな場面でツッコミできますね！
目指せ、ツッコミキングin English!

【英語物語】便利な疑問詞+to不定詞
あぁ! 便利便利、この言い回し!
。。。英語物語の中では間違えたけど(笑)
以前の記事で触れた、映画「My Best Friend's Wedding」の
Cameron Diazが歌っていた曲も
I just don't know what to do
でしたね。
Karaoke - My Best Friend’s Wedding
https://fanblogs.jp/timetolearn/archive/12/0
I don't know〜に縛られることなく、いろいろ便利に使えます。
It will tell us where to go.
どこに行けばいいかはそこに示されている
Howなんかは馴染みがありますよね。
I would like to know how to use this machine
この機械の使い方が知りたい。
I would like to know how to get there.
そこにどうやっていけばいいか知りたいです。
などなど。
ん？
when toは。。。どうやって使うかな?
あ、できた！
I don't know when to use it.
この場合、it = when toで(笑)
いっぺんに全部覚えよー、とするのではなく、
思いつきそうな例文をいくつか自分で作ってみると
ものにしやすいと思います。
。。。そして、復習で出たら次は。。。
間違わないぞ!
