ネイティブの英語が速すぎて聞き取れない、、 #英語 #英語勉強 #英語学習 #ワーホリ #コミュニティ

As for the listening part, when you hear a native speaker and think, "Wow, that's so fast." Most of the time, they're not actually speaking fast. They're connecting words, and that's a totally different thing. What are you going to do? Nobody says that, right? They say, "What are you going to do?" Same words, same meaning, but half the sound. As not speed, it's just words melting into each other, and this is why listening feels so hard. Because you learned each word separately, neatly, and clearly, but no one speaks that way. Think about your own language. You connect sounds to it. You drop syllables, and you blur things together. Every language does this. English just doesn't warn you about it, right? Want to becomes one of them. Going to becomes gone. Let me become Lenny, right? So if you want to understand fast English, don't train your ear to be faster. Train them to hear connections. Try to focus on the shape of the phrase when you listen. Not every individual sound. Because native speakers aren't speaking fast. They're just not separating the words, the way textbook taught you they would, right? Connections, linking, pronunciation, I.T.A. and I'm gonna hold that, right?
