英語の音声を聞いても、何を言っているか分からない。 その理由のほとんどは「単語を知らない」からではなく、「ネイティブの実際の発音を聞いたことがない」からです。 ネイティブは「What do you want to do?」を「Whaddaya wanna do?」と発音します。「I'm going to」は「I'm gonna」に、「kind of」は「kinda」になります。 このアプリは、そのギャップを埋めるためだけに作られています。 【使い方はシンプル】 1. 音声を再生する 2. 聞こえたまま英文をタイプする 3. 答えと解説を確認する 4. 次へスワイプ これだけです。 【こんな人におすすめ】 ・英語のリスニングが苦手な方 ・海外ドラマや映画のセリフが聞き取れない方 ・TOEICや英検のリスニング対策をしたい方 ・ネイティブとの会話についていけない方 【特徴】 ・余計な機能なし、画面は1つだけ ・英語学習っぽくない、毎日続けやすい ・ネイティブが実際に使うフレーズを厳選 ・正解と実際の音のギャップで「なぜ聞こえなかったか」が一瞬で分かる 毎日3分。それだけで、半年後の耳は確実に変わります。 Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
