英語を学ぶ際、単語力はおそらく最も重要なことだろう。単語がなければ、読めたり、聞けたり、話したり、書くことができない。しかし、あなたは自分自身に「なぜ3000語もの英語の単語を使うのか?」と尋ねたことがあるだろうか?

英語の単語を学ぶことは、多くの時間を要する。しかし、英語で最も頻繁に使用される3000語に焦点を当てることで、効果的に単語力を向上させることができる。これにより、英語でより自然に話したり、理解したりすることができる。

3000語の単語リストは、英語のほとんどのテキストで使用される単語をカバーしている。それらは、新聞、雑誌、テレビ、ラジオ、そして日常会話で使用される語彙である。これらの単語を学ぶことで、英語でのコミュニケーションがより容易になり、さらに自信を持って話すことができるようになるだろう。

そして、3000語の単語リストを使うことで、英語の単語を覚えるだけでなく、英語の文法や表現方法も自然に身につけることができる。つまり、リスニング、スピーキング、リーディング、ライティングのすべてを同時に強化できるだろう。

単語リストを使って英語を学ぶ方法は多数ある。例えば、リーディング、リスニング、スピーキング、ライティングに特化したオンラインの英語学習プログラムや、教科書などがある。このような方法を使って英語の単語力を向上させることで、英語で自信を持ってコミュニケーションすることができるようになる。

辞書を見ると、英語には約47万の異なる単語があることがわかる。1日に20語を学んでも、すべてを学ぶには…60年も掛かる。

驚きですね!

しかし、英語を流暢に話すためには、すべての単語を学ぶ必要はない。アメリカ人は日常生活で、最も一般的な2500〜3000の単語を使用している。これらの最も一般的な3000語を知っていれば、会話、メール、新聞、書籍の少なくとも95%を理解できるだろう。

英語の単語を学ぶ際には、例文にフォーカスすることが重要である。なぜなら、例文は単語だけでなく、リスニング、スピーキング、ライティングなどの英語スキルのすべてを向上させるために役立つからだ。

単語力:例文を見ることで、単語の意味を正しく理解し、深く覚えることができる。なぜなら、文脈において単語を見ることができるからだ。

スピーキング/ライティング:例文を学ぶことで、単語を正しく使う方法、他の単語と組み合わせて正しい英文を作る方法を学ぶことができる。読んだり聞いたりした文を元に、自分自身で正しい文を作ることができる。

文法:自然な形で英語の文法を学ぶことができる。文を作るために文法のルールを意識する必要はない。英語のフレーズや文が自然に頭に浮かび上がり、すべてが正しい文法になる。あたかもネイティブスピーカーのように、文法を「感じる」ことができるだろう。

英語を流暢に話したい場合、耳で学ぶことが大切である。 英語を学ぶことは、入力と出力の二つの部分に分かれる。入力は読み聞き、出力は書き出しや話し方になる。より多くの入力を得るほど、より多くの出力を生み出すことができる。それはそれだけ簡単なことである。

ここで、あなたがまだ知らない小さな秘密を教えよう。

英語を上手に書くためには、読書に集中する。読む量が多ければ多いほど、書く力が向上する。 英語を上手に話すためには、リスニングに集中しよう。優れた英語を話すための鍵は、リスニングにある。 したがって、スピーキングやリスニングを改善したい場合は、例文を聞いて繰り返し練習する必要がある。つまり、すべての例文に音声が付属している必要がある。

英語の流暢さを追求するための秘訣は繰り返しである。

もし、英語を簡単に、流暢に、そして自動的に話すことを迅速に実現したいのであれば、もう一つやる必要がある:繰り返し学習すること。

つまり、すべての例文を何度も聞いて、それをマスターする必要がある。一回聞いただけでは十分ではない。すぐに忘れてしまうだろう。

あなたは単語を正しい文に使う方法を知っているかもしれないが、ここで問題だ。それを素早く、簡単に、そして自動的に使うことができるだろうか?

もし答えが「いいえ」であれば、もっと繰り返しを行う必要がある。例文を何度も繰り返し聞かなければならない。

この簡単な秘密を無視しないでほしい。これがあなたが自動的に素早く話すことを実現する方法である。
