American English shadowing exercises are for people interested in expanding their American English accents, whether you are located in the US, North America, or other areas around the world. For the best use of shadowing exercises in American English, listen to a section of audio, pause, and repeat what you hear. Try to use the same pronunciation, intonation, stress, pitch patterns, and linking that you find native English speakers use; record yourself and compare the differences.

おはようございます。日本語だんだんpodcastのゆかりです。

10月31日はハロウィンですね。
　
毎年(まいとし)、渋谷(しぶや)にはたくさんの仮装(かそう)した人があつまります。

"仮装する"については、前のポットキャストではなしましたね。

ただ、今年(ことし)の渋谷(しぶや)の
ハロウィンはちょっと、ちがいます。

今年のハロウィンのあいだは、
外でお酒(さけ)をのむことは、
禁止(きんし)になりました。

禁止とは、してはいけないことです。

道(みち)や公園(こうえんで)
お酒をのむことができません。

それから、渋谷区(しぶやく)の区長(くちょう)が、

「ハロウィンに、渋谷にこないでください。」
といっています。

"こないで"とは、いま自分のいるばしょに、きてほしくないときに、いいます。

たとえば、ともだちに、

「私のへやはきたないから、今日はあそびにこないでね。」

と、いいます。

たくさんの人がくると、あぶないですね。

そのために、ハロウィンは渋谷にこないで、といっています。

いま、日本にいる人は
気をつけてくださいね。

では、今日も、最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です！

また明日。

¡¡¡Qué onda!!! Hoy sigo con mi viaje a México para contaros mis dos últimos días en Ciudad de México. Visité la antigua ciudad de Teotihuacán, fui a un restaurante de comida prehispánica y estuve en el Museo Nacional de Antropología. Fue más divertido de lo que aparenta ser. Lo prometo. ¿Quieres oírlo? Pues... ¡adelante!

✨ Your Hands Can Speak Too ✨

Did you know your sense of touch can make your language learning faster, deeper, and more enjoyable?
From the silky calm of smooth glass to the lively spark of rough bark… every texture tells your brain how to learn.

💡 In this episode, discover:

Why smooth = easier memory, rough = sharper grammar focus

How touching organic textures lowers anxiety and boosts speaking confidence

The surprising way each finger could influence your learning style

In Episode 85 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we explore the gentle but powerful role of touch in language learning.
Your hands are not just tools—they are memory-makers.
We talk about:

How smooth textures calm the mind for easier vocabulary learning.

How rough textures sharpen focus for grammar and pronunciation.

How asymmetrical surfaces help with irregular language patterns.

How organic textures (like leaves, fur, or fruit) lower anxiety and make speaking feel safer.

How inorganic textures (like keyboards and books) boost procedural memory for writing and spelling.

How different fingers—from the grounding thumb to the communicative little finger—may influence learning focus.

With science, sensory awareness, and a touch of metaphysical insight, this episode helps you “feel” your way into new words and phrases.
