Summary

TLDRこのビデオスクリプトでは、言語沉浸学習法の重要性とその効果について語られています。英語学習者に対して、日本語の影響を排除し、英語のメディアコンテンツに曝露することで、自然な言語能力を身につけることが推奨されています。さらに、アクティブな沉浸と受動的な沉浸の両方を活用し、言語学習を効果的に進める方法が紹介されています。また、社会的な動態を理解することの重要性も強調され、異なる文化でのコミュニケーションのスキルを身につけるためのアドバイスが提供されています。

Takeaways

  • 😀 言語を学ぶには、幼児のように自然な環境に身を置くことが重要。
  • 📚 成人向けの言語学習は、文法や単語の勉強から始まりますが、実際に言語を習得するには没入型学習が効果的。
  • 🌐 没入型学習とは、日常生活の中で英語を聞くこと。例えば、日本語のメディアを避け、英語のメディアに没頭すること。
  • 👂 パッシブ没入は、家事や通勤中など、単純な作業中に英語を聴く方法。
  • 👀 アクティブ没入は、画面を見ながら英語の番組を視聴し、字幕を活用して学ぶ方法。
  • 🔍 アクティブ没入では、わからない単語や文法をたまに調べることで、より深く学びます。
  • 📈 言語学習は、学習(study)、入力(input)、出力(output)、そして社会的な動作(social dynamics)の4ステップからなる。
  • 🤝 社会的な動作を学ぶことで、異なる文化でのコミュニケーション能力が向上します。
  • 🌟 学習言語は人生にポジティブな影響を与え、新しい扉を開く可能性があります。
  • 📚 学習言語は、数学のように異なる人には異なる方法が必要なものではなく、没入型学習は誰にとっても同じ方法で有効。
  • 🎓 学習言語は、短期間の集中的な没入型学習ではなく、長期にわたる継続的な努力が必要です。
  • 📺 没入型学習コースは、英語を学ぶための新しいアプローチで、効果的な学習方法を提供しています。

😀 言語沉浸の重要性と実践方法

この段落では、言語学習における沉浸の概念とその重要性が議論されています。Rufus SenseiとNick Nissanが、日本語を母国語以外の人々がどのように沉浸を活用して英語を学ぶかについて語り、特に日本では英語教育が試験指向であるため、実際のコミュニケーション能力を身に付けるためには、試験勉強以上のアプローチが必要なと主張しています。彼らは、言語学習は音楽やスポーツを学ぶのと同様で、実践を通じて習得されると強調しています。

05:02

🎧 パッシブな言語沉浸の活用方法

ここでは、パッシブ沉浸の概念が紹介されており、日常的なタスクをこなす間、例えば掃除や料理の際に、英語のポッドキャストや番組を聞くことの利点を説明しています。パッシブ沉浸は、長時間行うことができ、効率的な時間利用が可能な方法と位置付けられています。また、アクティブ沉浸との違いについても触れられており、アクティブ沉浸ではテレビ番組を字幕なしで見ることで、より集中して学習することができます。

10:02

🌐 言語の獲得と社会的な相互作用

この段落では、言語の獲得プロセスとそれに伴う社会的スキルの重要性が語られています。小さな国々は英語のエンターテインメントに頼るため、子供たちは自然と英語を学び、大きな国々では独自のエンターテインメント産業があるため、英語へのアクセスが限られる傾向があるという興味深い観点が紹介されています。さらに、言語学習の3つのステップ:学習、入力、出力を紹介し、最後に社会的ダイナミクスの理解がどのように重要であるかについても議論されています。

15:04

📚 学習の成果と新しいアプローチの提案

最後の段落では、Nick Nissanが日本語を学ぶことで人生がどのように変わったかについて語り、言語力がビジネスやコミュニケーションにおいて重要な役割を果たしていると強調しています。また、彼が制作したイマージョンコースの紹介もあり、そのコースは日本語話者にとって新しい英語学習のアプローチを提供し、英語を5年間学習してから中国語など他の言語にも挑戦することができると促しています。最後に、変化を恐れず新しいアプローチを試すことの大切さがアドバイスされています。

play02:04

the topic of today's video is going to

play02:06

be all about language immersion sure so

play02:10

and also some of the merits that we've

play02:12

had from learning a second language and

play02:15

even third language yeah in your case so

play02:17

it's going to be a really great video so

play02:19

let's get into it sure basically what

play02:22

I'm going to teach you guys today is

play02:24

almost enough for you to just start

play02:25

right away I had a plan in mind to be

play02:27

basically be like here are the Bare

play02:29

Basics of what you have to do yeah so

play02:31

learn from the master let's learn from

play02:33

the master today so Nick Nissan what is

play02:35

immersion okay well let me go uh a

play02:38

little bit back okay man so when you

play02:41

want to start learning a language we're

play02:43

adults right yeah so if we were babies

play02:47

our parents wouldn't just give us a

play02:49

grammar book and be like hey

play02:51

three-year-old study English and we or

play02:54

study Japanese and we study it and then

play02:55

we learn it that's not how it works not

play02:57

at all we're immersing we're hearing our

play03:00

parents talk to us every single day what

play03:03

many adults do what I've done with

play03:05

Japanese is we study yeah we look at the

play03:08

grammar we look at words and for me this

play03:12

is my opinion

play03:14

especially in Japan because you guys all

play03:16

learn English from when you're Showbox

play03:18

it right

play03:20

I don't think you should be studying for

play03:21

more than two years wow yeah big claim

play03:24

yeah because a lot of Japanese I'll

play03:25

study for over 10 years well if you have

play03:27

to study for a test then you do have to

play03:29

study yeah but I'm talking about

play03:30

actually learning the language yeah

play03:32

language for communication yes language

play03:34

for communication so say you want to

play03:36

make Legos yeah you look at the

play03:38

instructions first that's what the

play03:39

studying is and then you start building

play03:41

Legos eventually you got to start you

play03:43

know developing your own creativity

play03:45

trying themselves exactly so Step One is

play03:48

studying yeah now you asked like what

play03:50

what is immersion yeah immersion is very

play03:52

simple it used to mean I'm an American I

play03:55

want to learn Japanese I'm moving to

play03:57

Japan and I'm going to listen to

play03:58

Japanese every day by Japanese people

play04:00

that's what you're doing just listening

play04:02

that's all you do that's that's what

play04:03

immersion is so if you want to immerse

play04:05

in English you stop watching any

play04:07

Japanese movies any Japanese shows any

play04:09

Japanese music and you only watch

play04:12

American English Australian content with

play04:16

or without English subtitles very

play04:18

interesting very interesting and it's

play04:20

very interesting because uh the research

play04:23

is the very famous uh linguistic

play04:25

Professor named Stephen crushing and he

play04:27

had a very interesting speech and he

play04:30

said they've tried every type of

play04:32

exercise every type of test every type

play04:35

of drill to teach people how to learn

play04:38

and everybody's unique in the way they

play04:41

learn but nobody's unique in the way

play04:43

they acquire a language it's all through

play04:45

immersion an input inputs listening or

play04:48

reading so every you know you always

play04:51

hear like

play04:53

yeah but actually

play04:55

we're always obsessed with how different

play04:57

everybody is when there's actually

play04:59

the same way to learn for everybody yeah

play05:01

exactly I think learning a language is a

play05:04

lot different than learning like maths

play05:05

no totally different yeah learning a

play05:07

language is more like going to the gym

play05:09

or learning a sport yes yes yes yes yes

play05:11

so you know you could study all you want

play05:13

but if you don't listen to English and I

play05:16

say two hours a day at least two hours a

play05:18

day but you know people don't have that

play05:20

time so say you have an hour doing an

play05:21

hour day but if you're just going to be

play05:23

studying with a pen you know which

play05:25

Japanese people love to do it's you'll

play05:28

never get fluent you got you have to

play05:29

listen and when I say listen I mean

play05:31

watch a Netflix show in English yeah or

play05:34

watch something in English an hour a day

play05:36

or two hours a day or three hours a day

play05:38

I'm doing this with Spanish yeah and I

play05:40

did three to five hours a day for the

play05:42

first three months okay so let's dive

play05:43

into that if someone you know they've

play05:46

just heard immersion for the first time

play05:47

they kind of knew about it but you know

play05:49

they're finally seeing the the light

play05:51

yeah and they want to sit up their own

play05:54

immersion routine what should they do

play05:56

okay so what I do is the minute I weigh

play05:59

wake up in the morning yeah

play06:01

I have a podcast on ready to go ready to

play06:04

go so while I'm making food there's two

play06:07

different or a couple types of immersion

play06:08

one is called Judo taking a listening

play06:11

passive immersion okay and that's the

play06:13

type of immersion you do while you do a

play06:15

simple task really so say I'm making my

play06:19

bed cleaning the room cooking I'm

play06:21

listening to something passively

play06:23

interesting I feel like that's got a lot

play06:25

of benefits it does have a lot of

play06:27

benefits and the benefits of that is

play06:28

because you can do it for a very long

play06:30

period of time can you pass the

play06:31

immersion on the train on the way to

play06:33

work you could do it while you're

play06:34

walking you can do it while you're

play06:35

biking you can do it while you're

play06:36

cleaning so passive immersion is always

play06:39

quantity over quality yeah I think

play06:41

that's really great because a lot of

play06:42

people say I don't have time but then

play06:45

they wash the dishes or something or

play06:46

they're commuting to work and they're

play06:48

not doing anything that is sitting on

play06:49

the train like this use that time to

play06:52

acquire a language exactly exactly yeah

play06:55

I mean you know people look at their

play06:57

phones I think on average like it was

play06:59

like some eight or eight hours or some

play07:01

in same amount yeah if you changed even

play07:04

if you brought it down to seven hours

play07:05

you would have at least one hour of

play07:07

passive immersion exactly now there's

play07:09

another type of immersion and this is

play07:12

when you have a screen in front of you

play07:13

it can be a TV it can be a computer it

play07:15

can be your phone and you're watching a

play07:18

show you're watching let's say friends

play07:21

or Full House you've done a video on

play07:24

Full House and you watch it with English

play07:27

subtitles and no English subtitles

play07:29

now it's called active immersion okay

play07:31

active imagine and with active immersion

play07:34

you're actually learning more

play07:36

than you are with passive immersion

play07:38

obviously because you're concentrating

play07:39

fully yeah that's the key and what

play07:41

should the uh all the Learners be

play07:43

focusing on should they be stopping

play07:45

every time they hit a new word or new

play07:47

grammar point so there's two types of

play07:49

active immersion yeah one is called

play07:52

okay and that's when you just watch it

play07:54

from beginning to end and if you don't

play07:56

know something you just let it go okay

play07:58

almost 90 of my immersion is that okay

play08:01

90 so I always get questions from

play08:04

Japanese people what should I do if I

play08:06

can't understand something

play08:08

give 10 of your time so I'd say 10

play08:11

minutes or 20 minutes say a day 20

play08:15

minutes a lot let's say 15 minutes of

play08:17

you can stop and look

play08:19

and look things up

play08:20

but the rest of it you let it go and you

play08:22

know why it works if you let it go how's

play08:24

it let's say you're a three-year-old and

play08:28

you are thirsty yeah when I say to you

play08:32

do you want water you won't understand

play08:34

what I say but if you watch me with a

play08:37

glass of water and I say do you want

play08:38

water if he sees it a hundred times he's

play08:41

acquired the word that water means

play08:43

something to drink yeah so if you watch

play08:46

Full House and you see the same word or

play08:49

same phrase over the amount of Seasons

play08:51

you watch through context

play08:57

yeah really great really good and I'm

play08:59

quoting uh Matt vs Japan from our last

play09:01

video he said uh

play09:12

um

play09:18

so this is very hard to convince

play09:21

Japanese people so immersion is popular

play09:23

all over the world

play09:32

well I mean obviously there's less money

play09:35

to be made when you could just say hey

play09:36

just watch Netflix just watch Netflix if

play09:39

you made every single shogaxa in Japan

play09:41

watch two hours of English shows every

play09:43

day they'd be fluent by the time they're

play09:44

18. there you go that's how we solve the

play09:45

problem a lot of people who want to

play09:48

study English are parents a lot of women

play09:51

you know middle-aged women and they're

play09:53

like I can't I work and I have kids and

play09:55

my advice every time is do this for your

play09:58

kids make it all English content all the

play10:00

time because your kids will get better

play10:01

faster than you yeah together you you

play10:04

interviewed uh where they are the the

play10:07

brothers that's right do you think that

play10:09

the syr brothers learn English by you

play10:11

know notes they're not old enough to do

play10:13

that not at all what did their parents

play10:14

do they just made them watch TV Disney

play10:17

yeah

play10:18

foreign

play10:23

I took a trip to Europe for work

play10:26

a month ago

play10:28

all of the small countries speak English

play10:30

fluently right and all the big countries

play10:33

don't yeah do you know why I have no

play10:35

idea because big countries like let's

play10:39

say France or you know Germany

play10:42

um

play10:42

they have so much money in entertainment

play10:45

that they can make amazing TV shows in

play10:47

their own language or the smaller

play10:49

countries don't have the money to make

play10:51

it so they're just like screw it we'll

play10:52

just put on American films and they

play10:54

don't overdub and they don't put

play10:56

subtitles on so all the little kids at

play10:58

first can't understand anything yeah

play10:59

until they start understanding it so

play11:01

they're forced to immerse in English and

play11:04

we know that Japan is probably one of

play11:06

the biggest countries with TV shows yeah

play11:11

it's impossible for people to learn

play11:14

English because there's so many good

play11:15

Japanese TVs yeah with all the anime and

play11:17

Japanese dramas and stuff people don't

play11:19

really have a reason so you're a little

play11:21

kid exactly so to put it back in

play11:22

perspective number one study the

play11:24

language you can use you know I'm sure

play11:27

Rupa Sensei has study uh contents uh

play11:30

tons of people have studied contents you

play11:32

learn it in school number two immerse

play11:34

and it takes years yeah everybody

play11:36

everybody's saying you know get good in

play11:39

one month you know get flu in one month

play11:41

there's a lot of Japanese programs for

play11:42

Americans right like that and I'm always

play11:45

like oh no dude no way yeah so it's

play11:48

gonna take you a long time and then

play11:50

number three step three is start writing

play11:52

and start speaking exactly hey you learn

play11:55

it straight from the month though so so

play11:58

um to give an example say you want some

play12:01

water yeah

play12:03

you want some water and you have a glass

play12:04

you can't just drink An Empty Glass you

play12:07

have to input the water yeah that's what

play12:09

the input is actually putting the

play12:10

content so you're putting the English in

play12:12

your mind you're learning the English

play12:15

then you can drink it you can let it

play12:17

come out there you go so it's always

play12:19

study input output and then finally is

play12:24

social dynamics yeah and social dynamics

play12:39

social dynamics are totally different we

play12:43

actually taught you one today we did you

play12:44

know exactly the handshake so that's

play12:47

something they don't do in Japan

play12:50

and eye contact as well eye contact I

play12:52

mean it's really interesting because I'm

play12:54

immersing in Spanish I'm studying

play12:56

Spanish just like you guys are studying

play12:57

Japanese uh English right now I'm doing

play12:59

the exact same thing and the social

play13:02

dynamics of Spanish-speaking countries

play13:03

are so close to English speaking

play13:05

languages it's easy yeah but Japan is so

play13:08

different it is so you need to study

play13:11

because you can be fluent in English but

play13:13

if you don't know the social dynamics of

play13:14

it like say the West it will be really

play13:17

awkward when somebody asks you are you

play13:19

close to your parents because in Japan

play13:20

people don't ask

play13:23

I guess that's a very personal strange

play13:26

question right but then they'll ask

play13:27

about age and stuff like that yeah yeah

play13:29

yeah so so yeah so first you study

play13:32

second you input third you output and

play13:35

then fourth you analyze how these people

play13:37

act and you and I always tell my

play13:39

students

play13:40

imagine there's a switch on your neck

play13:42

yeah down is Japan switch up is American

play13:44

switch so when I'm with Japanese people

play13:46

I turn my switch down okay Japan mode

play13:48

and when I'm with like you know Western

play13:51

foreigners I switch on to Foreigner mode

play13:53

so you've got to have two different

play13:54

personalities I've never heard that

play13:56

before yeah because I think I'm always

play13:57

on that guy

play13:59

but you know there's Japanese people and

play14:02

I think we talked about this before I

play14:04

don't know

play14:10

okay yeah he's a guy that's like I tell

play14:13

you what I want I tell it directly yeah

play14:15

there's a lot of Japanese like Rich

play14:17

bosses and stuff like that there's many

play14:19

benefits to learning a western mindset

play14:21

that's very interesting very interesting

play14:24

to learn all about that social dynamics

play14:25

and I think a lot of those English

play14:28

courses or you know regular textbooks

play14:31

you don't learn anything about social

play14:33

dynamics no so next I want to talk uh

play14:36

with you Nick is about how has learning

play14:39

Japanese and being able to speak

play14:40

Japanese change your life yeah well I

play14:43

mean it's basically changed my life only

play14:45

positively right yeah

play14:59

you out of there and now I'm doing

play15:01

better than any of them because I chose

play15:03

this just one language that opened up

play15:05

all these doors yeah you know perfect

play15:08

yeah and I think when you study things

play15:10

like business those worlds always

play15:12

changing always says yeah yeah the

play15:14

things I learned in business school I I

play15:16

started finished in University it's

play15:18

super old yeah yeah yeah but I think

play15:20

like a language it's always it's always

play15:22

there always there oh and AI will never

play15:25

replace good communication right yeah

play15:27

they can translate but if you can

play15:29

actually speak the language of the other

play15:31

person you speak to their heart it kind

play15:33

of opens up a whole new world of

play15:35

opportunities there you go there you go

play15:37

it's like uh Aladdin before he gets the

play15:40

the lamp and then after exactly exactly

play15:43

exactly handsome like Aladdin and

play15:46

dresses up like him

play15:47

yeah so anyway Nick so I've seen that

play15:51

you've made a really great course

play15:53

recently and it's all about immersion

play15:55

yeah so what I did was I took an entire

play15:58

year

play15:59

to immerse in Spanish oh yeah a whole

play16:02

year and I and I'm still doing it every

play16:04

day yeah just like you guys but I

play16:07

recorded everything I do for immersion

play16:09

this type of immersion you should do

play16:11

this every day you should do this every

play16:12

day and I made a timed plan so what you

play16:15

should do every week what you can watch

play16:16

I made a list of TV shows and then I

play16:20

also made immersion content for Japanese

play16:22

people to watch fantastic so this is a

play16:25

one month boot camp that teaches you how

play16:27

to immerse so basically I'm training you

play16:30

to be able to do it by yourself for the

play16:31

rest of your life so you could do this

play16:33

first with English do it for five years

play16:35

become fluent in English then do the

play16:36

exact same thing in Chinese if you want

play16:38

there you go once you learn how to do it

play16:40

yes it's really good it's it's a very I

play16:44

wouldn't say difficult but it's a time

play16:45

consuming course

play16:47

um and of course you can do it at your

play16:49

pace or if you need to bring it down you

play16:50

bring it down but it's I think it's one

play16:53

of the best uh English courses Japan has

play16:56

ever had and it's the first type of

play16:57

immersion they've never had something

play16:58

like this in Japan exactly yeah you know

play17:01

you can keep trying those textbooks you

play17:03

can keep trying those get fluent in you

play17:05

know one month courses or you can

play17:07

actually learn how to do it straight

play17:09

from the person that's done it himself

play17:11

yep and nothing replaces real life

play17:14

experience nice yes exactly yes so yeah

play17:17

we're gonna have all the links

play17:18

everything if you're interested in

play17:20

immersion it's the best way to do

play17:22

English immersion you're going to learn

play17:24

everything about it yeah and then also

play17:26

get content yeah yeah and we we have a

play17:28

month's worth of content so we have 30

play17:29

videos yeah 25 immersion videos and five

play17:33

social dynamics videos so with the

play17:35

social dynamics videos you'll learn

play17:37

about how to interact with westerners

play17:40

and how our interactions are different

play17:42

than Japan

play17:44

um it's actually one of the most

play17:45

everybody's like we love the social

play17:47

dynamics is and we also have podcasts so

play17:50

you can do passive immersion on the

play17:52

train right um you know six hours worth

play17:54

of uh of content fantastic fantastic so

play17:57

guys take the steps towards being able

play18:01

to acquire a language and then go out

play18:04

and do it it's your decision whether you

play18:06

do it or not but guys if you keep you

play18:08

know just filling around if you keep

play18:10

messing around on this doing the same

play18:12

thing over and over again and never

play18:14

actually being able to speak the

play18:16

language you know that's Einstein's

play18:18

definition of insanity yeah so try a new

play18:21

approach try out immersion awesome man
