Learning English
英語を学ぶ

Know what you want to do with the English language.

Q.1: Did you learn English before?

背景

To decide the method for learning English,
I need to hear what you want to do with it.
Otherwise, I will not be able to decide how to teach it.
Like what topics you’re interested in or in what situation you will use it.

For example, if you’re a Web developer
and have a few subordinates abroad,
you will need to give instructions to them in English.
This is just an example.

Q.2: So, what do you want to do with the language? Can you tell me about that?

目標について

Your goal I set is : learn to talk about yourself briefly,
using simple structures like:

1. I know that.
2. Is there a bathroom here?
3. I have a friend in the US.

方法論について

Methods: making sentences about given topics by writing and speaking
Words to learn: 1,500 basic words + words related to subjects you’re interested in

他の学習テーマ

1. Talking about yourself
2. Talking about the weather

復習

前回質問のあった項目をまとめました

soの意味

1.「では」「それでは」のように話題を変えて本題に入る時の導入

So, let’s get started.

2.「だから」becauseとは文の繋がりが逆になる。

I ate two hamburgers, so I’m full now.
(I’m full now because I ate two hamburgers.)

3.「とても」

I’m so tired.
I’m so glad you came today.

like

1.動詞の「好き」

I like cycling.
I like fresh vegetables.

「いいね」もこの意味の一つ。日本語で「~いいね」というところを英語では「好きだ」と表現する
I like your jacket.

2.前置詞の「~のように」

I’ve never seen anything like this before.
Like what?
Like who?

練習：
I like fruits like strawberries, grapes, and melons.

to do something,…するために、するには

I went to Hawaii to see my friend.

この意味で使われる時はin order toと同じ意味です。
また、これを置く位置は文の最初と最後、或いは途中などいろいろあります。
In order to view this page, install this software.

there is/are　~がある

「そこ」という意味はなく、「ある」という意味です。
There are two options.
There is no difference.
