【独学で英語マスター ♡ Lesson 7】基本単語 “Make” と “Come” の復習も大事です♡

大人になってから「英語を習得したい」と真剣に考える人も少なくありません。一方で、「今更遅いんじゃないの」と心のどこかで不安に思う人も。当然、第二言語として英語を学ぶことはそう簡単なことではありません。思うように聞いたり話したりできるようにはなりません。

それでも、学習自体が楽しいですし、その過程において多くの発見があります。自身の成長を実感することだってできます。ところで、一言に「英語」と言ってもいろんな英語がありますよね。American English、British English、Aussie English、Canadian English、Indian English、Japanese Englishなどなど。

 

実は、世界人口約70億人のうち25%の17.5億人が “英語人口” だと言われています。世界中の4人に1人が実用レベルで英語を使っているわけです。これってすごくないですか?ただし、このうちネイティブのスピーカーはたったの3.9億人ほどなんですけどねー (^ ^)

つまり、裏を返せば、多くのEnglish Speakerたちは完璧じゃないんです!何も気負う必要はないってことです!

 

というわけで、今回もまた気軽にかつ真剣に、英語を楽しく学んでいきましょう!

今回のテーマは基本単語である “make” と “come” です!
