山ちゃんがフランス語を選んだ理由

[00:00.35] Kevin: Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast. Hey guys.

[00:07.79] Kevin: It's strong always.

[00:09.91] Kevin: This program is brought to you by "Kiminokoe wo todokeyo anchor".

[00:14.96] Kevin: We are using an app called Anchor

[00:16.29] to creat and distribute this podcast anchor has all the features you need to start your very own podcast.

[00:22.39] Kevin: It's free and you can download it off a Google play on the app store and

[00:26.65] Kevin: we're very excited hearing your very first episode of the podcast,

[00:33.02] Kevin: "Torokeyo" (LOL) am I saying "Todokeyo"or"Torokeyo" let me ask which?

[00:48.17] Kiminokoe wo torokeyo Kiminokoe wo todokeyo Do it again. That is correct.

[01:03.84] Kevin: All right. So do you have any DMs for us Yamachan?

[01:09.41] Yama: We got a message from Ah... Yagiyamasan. I guess.

[01:13.93] Kevin: Very "Katai" name to you. Oh no, no, no,

[01:22.96] Yama: I'm not sure if there are any other way of reading this, but

[01:26.42] Yama: I guess it's a fence. It looks like a fence.

[01:30.93] Yama: It's written in Kanji "Ya Gi Ya Ma" Ok. 以前こちらのポッドキャストを聴きながら、

[01:37.84] Yama: お子さんになんでママ笑ってるの？とつっこまれて、きちんとお子さんに説明をされていると言う方がいらっしゃいましたが、

[01:43.95] Yama: 私はうまく説明ができないので子供の前で必死に笑いを堪えながら楽しく拝聴しています。

[01:51.64] Yama: Youtubeでも取り上げられていた闇の組織「HIPPO」についての質問です。

[02:01.75] Yama: 山ちゃんのうちでは多言語を同時に流せるように複数のスピーカがあるようでしたが、

[02:05.99] Yama: 狭い我が家でその再現は難しそうなので、テレビで見る映画で言語を色々かえて繰り返し見てみようとやり始めています。

[02:13.43] Yama: 動画の中で山ちゃんは始めたばかりのフランス語に似ている言葉はなんとなく理解できるレベルとのことでしたが、

[02:19.54] Yama: 始めたばかりの私にはどの言語が似ているかの認識もまだできそうにありません。

[02:28.57] Yama: もしいくつかに的を絞って学ぶとするならどの言語を抑えるとよさそうなどアドバイスは有りますか？

[02:31.76] Yama: また、山ちゃんが留学先をフランスに選ばれたのは複数の言語を幼い頃から聞いているなかでフランス語が親しみやすかったからなどの理由のでしょうか？

[02:39.99] Yama: なかなか外出もできずお家で過ごすことが多いので娘たちと闇の組織ごっこでまずは英語を学んで、

[02:47.97] Yama: 私の口から説明しなくても皆さんのポッドキャストやYoutubeで一緒に笑えるようになりたいです。

[02:52.75] Kevin: Oh, thank you.

[02:54.07] Yama: Thank you.

[02:55.67] Kevin: Well... What do you think?

[02:58.06] Yama: もしいくつかに的を絞って学ぶとするならば？

[03:07.09] Yama: If you're interested in that language or that culture, just go for it.

[03:15.59] Kevin: So anything that you're interesting.

[03:19.84] Yama: Yeah, like. If you're interested in korean drama, something like K-Pop stars, then go for korean's or if you're interested in Hollywood.

[03:27.81] Yama: You know Jastin bieber styles, English or, if you like, French art, then go French.

[03:36.31] Yama: That's because what's important is what is important is keep going.

[03:43.75] Yama: You know, you know listening and keep learning the biggest energy.

[03:54.11] Yama: For that is if you're interested in it or not.

[03:57.29] Kevin: I like it.

[03:58.35] Kevin: Yeah, I think one of the first questions she had was: she's not able to do the the audio setting because the room was too small.

[04:08.98] Kevin: Does that matter? Like if it's too small, can you not do it?

[04:13.23] Yama: You can do it

[04:15.89] Kevin: all right. So you can still be in a small room, have several speakers set up, and that's good enough. That's good enough.

[04:23.06] Yama: If you put volumes really high, then you will be like too annoying. But you just, you know, say low volume and you can do it.

[04:36.07] Kevin: So problems solved.

[04:39.80] Kevin: That problem comes from limiting right, limiting the speaker.

[04:44.57] Kevin: But like now that you know that you don't have to limit your speakers, you can put all the speakers in one room,

[04:49.89] Kevin: even if it's small. So just just speak right away.

[04:54.93] Yama: Yes, yes,

[04:57.85] Kevin: Speak right away,

[05:00.78] Yama: And if you もしいくつかに的を絞って学ぶとするなら、どの言語を押さえるか？

[05:04.76] Yama: Then you know that's what you're interested, her interest right. If you think about the those connections between languages, t

[05:19.63] Yama: hen those like latin-based languages, like French-Spanish Italian,

[05:24.42] Yama: would be like really close together in similar, connected.

[05:25.48] Yama: Of course English is one of the. Well it's actually little different from those,

[05:30.53] Yama: but it's quite. You know, I like that.

[05:33.45] Kevin: So should we choose a language that's not related?

[05:37.44] Yama: If you choose those related languages, then you can.

[05:41.68] Yama: You will be.

[05:43.28] Yama: You know it will be easier for you to learn new latin languages.

[05:50.18] Yama: If I speak French, it's easier for me to learn Italian compared to someone who doesn't speak French

[05:57.09] Yama: but starting learning Italian from the beginning.

[06:00.55] Yama: It's kind of, you know, was similar. Grammar, that kind of simular

[06:06.12] Kevin: Right. So if your goal is to learn French, so is it better for the selection to be French-Italian whatever similar language. There is up to there.

[06:18.34] Yama: The spanish

[06:20.73] Kevin: Spanish, right those three or should we do? French, French, Korean, Arabic.

[06:28.70] Yama: Well, either way is fine,

[06:31.36] Yama: Everything's okay, everything is fine. But if you learn like French, Arabic and Japanese at the same time,

[06:37.99] Yama: that would be like more interesting.

[06:41.18] Yama: And because you know there are certain distances between those languages

[06:48.89] Yama: so that you can compare and those languages can, you know,

[06:53.67] Yama: affect to you know in a bit of way, good way each other and

[07:00.84] Yama: you know, like you know, some new chemical energy.

[07:08.55] Yama: But either way is fine absolutely.

[07:10.93] Kevin: Interesting.

[07:11.73] Yama: Yeah.

[07:13.06] Yama: 山ちゃんがフランスを留学先に選ばれたのは複数の言語を幼い頃から聞いている中で、フランス語が親しみやすかったからですか？

[07:19.94] Yama: No, French was the most.You know, farthest language from it at the moment.

[07:26.31] Yama: So that's why I choose the French,

[07:28.70] Kevin: which is exactly opposite. Saying right,

[07:31.09] Yama: I wanted to go sometime which is completely different from japan so,

[07:36.66] Kevin: which takes a lot of courage, I guess. But you at that time were just we're really like, had that courage back then. Right,

[07:50.75] Yama: Speaking about that, if you are in a completely different environment,

[07:56.59] Yama: sometimes it's it's really your comfortable and easy to live in actually,

[08:04.83] Yama: because it's completely different, everything is new to you. So

[08:09.07] Kevin: How does that make it better?

[08:11.73] Yama: Like you don't have, there's not a thing that you can compare.

[08:16.78] Yama: You know everything is brand-new so I don't have any measure to you know, measure me.

[08:23.95] Yama: You know if you go to another "Tenkou" in the new school you can easily compare from what before and now.

[08:35.37] Yama: You know if you compare, it always makes you know things difficult.

[08:42.82] Yama: But if you have nothing to compare or, like measure, it's it's fun, just

[08:47.06] Kevin: Like nothing, to lose in mentality.

[08:52.64] Yama: If you go to like space, like you know a moon and meet some aliens,

[08:58.21] Yama: I guess it's not tough at all.

[09:00.34] Kevin: Right.

[09:01.40] Kevin: That's true.

[09:03.27] Yama: It's brand-new and

[09:04.86] Kevin: Right. You wouldn't be embarrassed of anything, you don't even know what would embarrass yourself.

[09:11.50] Kevin: That's true.

[09:12.83] Yama: Yeah,

[09:14.42] Yama: That's good experience of anything.

[09:18.40] Kevin: All right.

[09:19.73] Kevin: Well, that was a good answer. I like, yeah.

[09:21.32] Yama: Thank you.

[09:21.86] Kevin: Thanks for listening guys,

[09:22.65] Kevin: ba bye.

[00:00.00] Yama: Thank you.
