短い英文で練習するコツ

短い文なら、少ない音に集中できます。テキストを見ずに聞いて書き取り、答えと比べましょう。特に聞き逃しやすいのは、冠詞、前置詞、語尾の -s・-ed です。確認したら、もう一度聞いて声に出してまねると、シャドーイングの練習にもなります。

よく使う英語のフレーズも、こうした文の中で音と一緒に覚えると、会話で聞き取れて使えるようになります。各セットはそのレベルのディクテーションから選ばれています。

どのレベルから始めればいいですか？

2〜3回聞けば文の大部分を書けるレベルから始めましょう。迷ったら、5分の無料レベルテストを受けてみてください。

短文と物語、どちらで練習すべきですか？

短文は苦手な音の練習に、物語は文脈の中で理解する練習に向いています。交互に使うのがおすすめです。
