こないだこれ購入しまして
すぐＣＤをipodにいれたんだけど
ＣＤから直接聴かないと効果ないのかな？

んな馬鹿な

2が正しい
1の中の人は盗作

>>6

俺も同じ事思った。俺はＭＤにＳＰで録音して聞いてるんだけど・・
どーなんだろ？

聞きやすくなってきたような気がする

>>11
はい、何度も同じものを聞きますから

外資系の会社でFinanceの仕事をしています。
そこで。。。BATICの試験を受けてみることにしました

実は同僚に英語もできて　USCPA（米国公認会計士）の資格を持っている子がいて、
私も何か頑張らねば！！と思ったからでした。
BATICの勉強をしてみて、興味が持てそうだったらUSCPAにもチャレンジしてみたいと思います

あとは、できれば転職も視野に入れて・・・
収入増やして今までのNOVA代を回収しなくては〜！！！

sとかききやすくなつた

>>14
はい、何度も同じものを聴きますから

学問に王道無し
抜け道も無し

�@ノーマル音声
�A2〜4kHz強調音声
�B4〜8kHz強調音声

�@に比べで�A�Bは音量レベルがかなり小さいから
�@�A�Bを通して聞く場合ＭＰ３プレーヤーの音量を
いちいち合わせ直さなきゃならなくて意外と不便。
�@なら効果音も入ってて素敵。

正直言って�@しか聞いてない…
２か月ほど洋楽バンバン聞いてたから、�A�B聞かなくても周波数ならしはそれでおｋかなと楽観視してたり…
男性ボーカルのロック中心だったけど楽器に埋もれたカン高い声も結構あったから。

例文が海外旅行で使えそうな内容だからそれ目当てにしてる。

英語のレッスンもあるけど、このウェブサイトは日本人にアメリカの文化を教えるウェブサイトだ。
http://www.koichiben.com

ちょー面白いだと思います。

�A�Bもその都度ＭＰ３プレーヤーの音量を上げれば、だいたい�@並みに聞き取れるんだけど
中高域を強調した反面、低域をばっさりカットしてるようで
聞いててつまんない声なんだもん…

じつは俺『低音厨』なんで低音カットは音の好み的に結構まずいよ。
声の低音カットするのは構わないから、低音入ったＢＧＭ入れて補ってくんなきゃ。


>>28
あとで見てみるよ。

耳を鍛えるのが目的なんだから
小さい音を意識的に聞き取るようにするのもいいんじゃないかな
あまり小さすぎるとアレだが

>>30
そういう聞き取り訓練が有効なら、意図的だったのかな、音量小さかったのは。
本の前書きでもその点触れてくれるとわかりやすいよね。
（著者の秘密のノウハウだったりして…）
電車内などのうるさい場所には適さないほど音量差が激しいけど
そういう意図は見破れなかったよ。


ＭＰ３かＷＭＡはｉＴｕｎｅｓ使ってライブラリに取り込めば
ライブラリの全曲を同じ音量レベルに合わせるかそのときに聞いてくる。
アナログは録音時に音量レベルが決まるけど、デジタルの圧縮音源は各ファイルに
再生時の基準音量レベルが数値で書き込まれてるんだろう。
ただ“ｉＴｕｎｅｓが”いいと感じる帯域どうしで音量比較して、だろうから。
俺の耳の感じ方に合わない可能性があるのと
失敗して元に戻せなかったら嫌だから試してないけど。
（俺はＷＭＰ使ってＷＭＡ形式で管理することが多い）

小さい音とか聞いても耳は鍛えられません念のため。ラジオの古い演説の録音とか
雑踏での話し声とかいろいろな音に紛れた音声を聞き取る方がましです。あまり小さい音を
延々と聞くと聴力障害も起こるので無理な事はしないこと。意味ないぞ。

ちなみに聴力障害はたとえばひそひそ声を聞かされてるといらいらしてくるはず。すると無意識に
内耳が聞き取る音の周波数を制限してシャットアウトする。ところがこれが続くと周波数の可聴範囲が
せばまったままになって中程度以上の音が聞こえなくなってしまうという危険な状態。
ヘッドホンなどで人工的に周波数も狭めてるmp３などの音を聞くとかかりやすいので、
やるならスピーカーにする事。守らないで後で泣いても知らないぞ。

ええっ？ほんとにー？？？
じゃあ、どこにいても（家でも外出先でも移動中でも）
一日中プレーヤー持ち歩いててイヤホンで音楽や語学ナレーションを永久に聞き続けてるのって
俺が想像してる以上に物凄く有害なのかな？
それじゃ困るんだけどな。

音量は、耳がだんだん馴れるから、次第に上がってくタイプ、そういう耳なんだよ。
（まあ、プレーヤーの最大目盛りが限度かな）
しかも大音量にしてるのをいきなり音量下げるとあまり聞こえやしない。

逆に、次第に音量下がってくタイプの人もいるらしいね。

外出時にスピーカー持ち運びは無理
イヤホンをヘッホンに変えれば？
鼓膜からの距離が改善されるから

ゼンハイザ、AKG、コス、ベイヤー、ウルトラゾーン、グラドー。。。
みんなで良質な使えるヘッホン集めを趣味、英語学習の友として
世間のジジババやガキに自慢の品を見せ付けて悔しがらせようぜp(^-^)q

ちょっと高価だけど
エティモのカナルは外耳道挿入型
遮音性能高くてかえって音量落とせるとか

>>32-33
本当にそう？
ちょっぴり疑ってみてる俺…

表面ではいくら見栄はって平静をよそおってても
内心では 海外バカンス や 海外留学 を良く思ってない方々が
くやしさのあまり妨害してるような予感もしますね・・・

誰が一番いいヘッドホン見せつけて悔しがらせるか>>35とジジとババとガキの間で競争にのめりこんだりして

よりいいの買って見せつけて
くやしがらせた者勝ち(^_^)v

>>30　←→　>>32-33
対立する逆の意見だね
どっちが悪名高い、消防士や警察官のレス？

彼らが努力して内部改革を頑張り始めたなら>>30
もはやそれすらする能がなく進歩無しのままなら>>32-33

じゃねーの？

>>38
> 海外バカンス や 海外留学 を

そんなチンケで初級な目的じゃなく違うのに変えてみたら？
世界の指導者として君臨する とか 世界征服 とか

マイケル・ジャクソンと会話するため！！

俺はマイケルと話すのなんてどうでもいいや
ビート・イットとスリラー入りCDほしいだけだから
あとは何も興味なし

>>30　および　>>32-33
のどっちからも釈明がないのは一体どういうわけなんだ？
そんな知らん顔やってるから仕事でさえも
嘘つき・デッチ上げ、揉み消し、責任転嫁、無責任、自己中、税金ドロボー…
が抑えられずについ出てるんじゃないかよ！

今さらいうけど

奇跡の音、な

>>47
そうですね

>>1
>>47だそうです
訂正しといてちょｗ

>>46
身勝手な税金泥棒が仕組んだことなのか？？

>>32-33に自信や根拠があるなら>>30に反論して筋とおすべき
反対に>>30も>>32-33には同様にできるはず

最近の実験だと
CDの話す速さで聞けても
同じ速さでは絶対に話せないな
発音てかしゃべるのって難易度
すごく高い気がする

ノーマル音声は臨場感があって面白かったです。

昨日買いました。
ま
聞かないよりは
上達するだろう

リラックスと心の平和

私には落ち着きと自信がそなわっています。そして自らの人生で勝利を手にする確信を持っています

長崎玄やか・・・
キセタンでお世話になりますた
奇跡の英文法もよかった

>>9
MDでも効果ありました？

奇跡の英熟語もよかった。
奇跡の英会話もね。

音のストリームで英会話を学ぶのは本当に効果があるのですか？

保守乙

責任転嫁は本当に効果があるのですか？

cigarette companies cannot advertise their products on TV.

沖縄にある、野球でちょっと有名になった沖縄尚学って学校があるんだが、
そこの副校長が"Miraculous English Learning System"「奇跡の英語学習法」
なんてものをおっぱじめた。

要はディクテーションにすぎないんだが、現場レベルでは「素晴らしい！」とか
さんざんおべんちゃらを言うくせに、誰も授業に取り入れようとしない。
でも考えてみりゃ、テキスト終わらすのだけでも必死こいてる先生たちが、
そんなものやる時間なんてどこにあるってのが本音だわな。

副校長のおっさんも、「やりなさい」って言うだけで、後のフォローをしないから、
あんなのが言ってることなんて話半分で聞いとけっていう風潮ができあがってるし。

まあ、何が言いたいかっていうと、「奇跡の」とか名付けちゃう時点で、もうアレとしか…

アレってなんですか。


ディクテーションを取り入れた高校を知っているが１学期で終了。不評だったみたい。

英語本で「奇跡」をつけていいのは、長崎玄弥先生だけだ！
