英語日記 英語の発音練習

At the turning of the year, I set a bunch of the goals that I want to achieve this year like new year resolutions. However, I already struggle to conjure up the motivation to work on them. I have a slight headache, some pain behind my eyes. This is probably due to my looking at the smartphone all the time and is probably causing my lack of motivation.

Today, I was supposed to go to work according to my company’s calendar although it’s the coming of age holiday, but I took a day off. This morning, I’ve been watching a sitcom called The Office which was aired several years ago (or decades ago?). I feel like I can keep watching it all the way. However, I want to do other things too. I don’t want to spend my holiday just to watch Netflix, which seems unproductive to me even if I watch it all in English.

Another thing that I want to engage in this year is English pronunciation practice. To begin with, I started reading out loud more than last year. In the past, I used to read any English writing out loud whether it’s a book, web news articles or sample sentences, believing this habit would help me familiarize myself with English sounds. For the las couple of years, I rather used to do something called overlapping which is repeat what you listen to from some audio materials such as podcasts or tv shows. However, I feel like I don’t pay much attention to my own voice when I do overlapping. Maybe, if I want to modify and improve my pronunciation, I should focus on my own pronunciations and for that purpose, reading out loud would be more suitable and effective, I guess.
