#37 わたしの まち《My town》 // N5 Level / Japanese listening

In part two, Teacher Smith discusses how our brains learn best. They explain that traditional English lessons often struggle to help us remember words, especially when we try to translate them. Teacher Smith suggests that emotional connections help us remember words better, similar to how we know song lyrics by heart.

They introduce mnemonics as memory tricks, like acronyms or phrases, to aid in remembering information. However, while helpful for tests, mnemonics can be slow to recall and aren't ideal for speaking fluently.

Teacher Smith then introduces "Word Webs," which are interconnected networks of words that help with memory retention. They compare word webs to spider webs, emphasizing their resilience even if some connections are lost.

The episode reveals the "Billion-Dollar Memory Secret," explaining how leading companies secure top-of-mind awareness. They highlight the challenge for new companies to establish themselves in consumers' minds and draw parallels to remembering new words automatically.

Finally, Teacher Smith discusses the challenge of replacing memories in the brain, especially when learning a new language. They explain how thinking in one's native language can hinder the recall of English words and suggest creating new mental categories to bridge the gap.

In the next episode, Teacher Smith promises to explore solutions to this problem.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
北海道に帰ってきてPodcastを2本、とっています。

昨日、新しくレッスンを受けてくださった方がと話しました。会話の中で、私のPodcastをいくつか聞いてくれていたことがわかり、とてもうれしい気持ちになりました。聞いてもらえるとがんばろう！という気持ちになりますね。本当にありがとうございます。

あらためて、なぜPodcastをはじめたかたというと、日本語を学習しているみなさんの助けになりたい！と思ったからです。もちろんレッスンで実際に話すのが1番良いと思いますが、聞いて耳でなれることもとても大切だと思います。

できるだけ毎日3分ほどの短いPodcastを作りますので、気に入った内容は何度も聞いてみたり、聞きながら自分でも話してみたりしてみてください。

私も今、英語の発音の勉強をしていますが、発音の練習をするとリスニング、聞き取りも良くなっている実感があります。気に入った内容は何度も何度も聞いています。


これからもいろんなトピックについて話していきますので、
もし、気に入ったトピックについて、実際に私と話したい！と思った方は、ぜひレッスンでお話しましょう！お待ちしています！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
