KEP 35: IELTS Disaster: When AI Makes You Sound Like a Robot

まずは、日常会話でよく使う「相槌（あいづち）」について話しましょう。相槌は、会話の流れを自然に保つためにとても重要です。例えば、次のようなフレーズをよく聞きます。

「そうそう」
これは「そうですね」のカジュアルな言い方です。例えば、友達が「昨日、映画見たんだ！」と言ったら、すぐに「そうそう、最近流行ってるよね」と返すと、話が続きやすくなります。

「うんうん」
これは相手の話に同意していることを示すフレーズです。英語で言うと「yeah, yeah」と同じような感じです。例えば、友達が長い話をしているとき、「うんうん」と頷きながら聞くと、相手は話しやすくなります。

「へぇー！」
驚きを表すこの相槌は、特に相手の話が新しい情報だったり、面白い内容だったときに使います。例えば、「彼がプロポーズしたんだよ！」という話に対して、「へぇー、すごいね！」と反応する感じです。

English with Tom

Episode 1: Introducing myself

Have you ever considered the importance of emotional well-being in language learning? Smith certainly has. Recognizing that mastering a new language can be a formidable journey, she diligently checks in on her students emotionally. It's not just care; Smith understands that personal struggles can profoundly impact the learning process. That's why she's introduced a special lesson, 'Expressional English,' where students can freely discuss their challenges and seek support. In this unique space, Smith ensures that her students not only learn a language, but also feel supported and understood throughout their linguistic endeavors
