My name's Tony and I'm from England and

今日のTonari no Tonyのテーマは

I'm an English teacher in Japan

挨拶から自然に会話まで行けること

So many things to talk about today

そしてバッTマン

so let's go straight to the whiteboard

行きましょう！

So, here's the last lesson I showed you about greetings

こんにちは、皆さん

All of these greetings simply mean *Japanese translation

僕はトニーです

and like I said in the last lesson, the answer to all

イギリスから来まして

of these is "Good, thanks. You?"

今英語の先生の仕事しています

Or in America...

今日は色々教えたいから

If you haven't seen this lesson yet, please have a look

早めにホワイトボード行きましょう

there is a link underneath this video

レッツゴー

So, these greetings can be used for a quick greeting

では、今はこの前のレッスンの内容ですね

there's no conversation expected

全部の意味は”元気ですか" / "最近どうですか？"

and for these situations,

で、この言いましたけど答えはいつも同じ

this question and answer combination is perfect

"元気です。あなたは?”

But there is another situation,

それかアメリカでしたら”最近は問題な？”

a situation where you're expected to

”ないです。あなたは？"

have a conversation

このレッスンまだ見てなかったらぜひ

This conversation can also be seen a lot

見てくださいね

in your English classes

リンクはこのビデオの下にあります

So, in these situations, the same question here

じゃ、この挨拶はちょっと軽い感じですね

is absolutely fine

クウィック挨拶で

You can use these questions here in this situation too

会話が期待されてないし

But what about the answers here?

ちょっと早めに挨拶する状況でしたら

If we stick with "Good, thanks. You?" will it work?

これでOKです

Well, that didn't go very well!

”元気ですか？”

The conversation just went round in circles

”元気です。あなたは？”

Because we have this "you?" in there

”元気です。またね！”

there's no way a conversation can ever actually begin

でも、他の状況もありますね

So, lets take out this "you?"

会話が期待されてる状況

We're expected to have a conversation here so

面と向かう状況

you simply have to say something, anything, to let the

英会話でもこの状況いっぱいありますね

conversation begin

会話が必要

But how? English is really difficult, right?

で、この質問でも全然OKです

Yes, but there is an order and a pattern

これで全然OK

Starting with a subject is very important

この状況でも全然続けます

I'm always telling my students to remember to say

でも答えはどうしますかね？

the subject. Usually it's a person

もしこの前の言いた通りに

OK, next type of word. You need a verb

"Good, thanks, you?"

A verb is something you do with your body

って言いたら

In this example, we're talking about recent events so

どうになりますかね？

we need to use past tense

見て見ましょう

For example..

こんにちは

OK, after this we need a noun

さ...

The name of a thing or a person

元気ですか？

Put (very) simply, use a noun here

元気ですよ。あなたは？

And finally we can add a time

ま、元気ですよ

Again, we're talking about a past event here so

あなたは？

you need to tell the person when all this happened

元気ですよ。あなたは？

We have our pattern, so let's try

元気ですよ。あなたは？

*Japanese translation

元気ですよ。あなたは？

*Japanese translation

元気ですよ。あなたは？

We're following the pattern, everybody OK?

元気ですよ

*Japanese translation

あなたは？

Nice. We have our pattern, we have our structure

元気ですよ....

Person, verb, noun, time..

あなたは？

Person, verb, noun, time..

元気ですよ

So, let's apply this to the face to face situation

上手く行ってないですね

from before

話回りました

What's going to happen?

何で話回ったかなって言いたら

I have to say something

この"you”が入ってるから

OK, we finally started and had a conversation

何回も何回も

It was a strange conversation but

話回ったらちょっと面白くないですね

the reason the conversation started was because

会話になってない

"blue Tony" found something to say and just said it

じゃ、この"you"を撮って

In actual fact, any one of those words flying around

"元気ですか？"

his head would have been absolutely fine

"元気です........."

"Work" - Perfect. You can say so much here

で、会話が期待されてるから

Seriously, anything is ok,

なんか言わないと

but please, just say something

何でもOKですよ

And do NOT worry about making mistakes

でもどうやって言いますかね？

Making mistakes is NEVER a bad thing

順番がありますよ

In fact, it's a very very good thing

パッターンがあります

When you make a mistake you give yourself

最初は絶対に"人"から言いてください

a chance to learn.

それはすごく大事なことですね

Firstly, English is just a tool for communication

僕いつも言いていますよ。生徒たちに

if you can get the other person to understand what you're trying to say,

じゃ、次の言葉

mission accomplished

次の言葉は"動詞"

My Japanese in this video is far from perfect.

体でやること

I'm not using as much honorific Japanese as I should

もちろんこれは最近についてですから

my intonation isn't great,

過去形が必要

my vocabulary and grammar could all be much better,

例えば

but if you're sat there and you're understanding me

”飲みました”

isn't that enough?

”寝ました”

Just imagine NOT being scared of making mistakes

”歩きました”

Imagine actually wanting to make mistakes

その後は”名詞”ですね

You'd get better really quickly, right?

"物"ですね。物の名前

Don't think "I don't want to make any mistakes today",

”人”の名前でもOK、(とても)簡単に言うと

try thinking "I want to make so many mistakes today"

ここは”名詞”で

"so many!"

次の言葉の種類は

10 mistakes

”時間”ですね

20 mistakes

ここに”時間”を入れてください

30 mistakes

もちろん、これは最近についてですから

mmm!

その”最近”のいつかを言わないと

Go for it! Please, make mistakes

OK,　順番がありますね

Also, don't worry.

例えば

While you're speaking English, Batman will not jump

順番守りましたね

out and scare you

大丈夫ですか？

I guarantee it

次

OK, so next time let's have a look
