1日目 ⭐︎
１日目は数字とアルファベットです。
こうやってみると日本語は外来語がたくさんあります。
数字は日本語が５桁ごとに変わるのに対して、英語は４桁ごとに変わるなど、規則性が少し違います。
100万円は”100”と”万”を合わせて表すのに
英語になると"1"と”millionを合わせます。
25万を英語で表す場合には 250,000ですから”two hundred fifty thousand"となります。
ややこしいのが西暦2021年を"twenty twenty-one"と2桁＋2桁となることが多いです。
また、日付などは"1st", "2nd", "3rd”と表します。何番目についてのfirst, second, thirdと同じです。
アルファベットは単語の音で覚えてみてください。音の種類だけでなく、一つの単語にいくつの音節があるかも大事です。
friendは母音がieの一箇所で「フレンド」と一気に発音されるのに対して
islandsは母音がiとaの二箇所なので「アイ｜ランド」とアイとランドと2回
Uniqueは母音が三箇所になります。
Day 2 be | am | are | is ⭐︎
Day 2.
“be” is the starting point to learn English.
Its rule is simple. When saying about people, there are 3 types, “am”, “are”, and “is”.
1. “am”. I am Japanese. I am 30 years old.
2. “are”. You are young. You are Canadian. They are professional soccer player.

Are you high school student? You are so smart. They are junior high school students.
She is cute. He is Japanese.
When saying about an item or a thing, there are 2 types, “is” for 1 item and “are” for 2 or more items.
1. “is”. This is my PlayStation. Is that building your school? It is not a book. It is a notebook. It is a tomato. This is my iPhone.
2. “are”. These games are a lot of fun. These hamburgers are for our lunch.
Job is a good word when you practice “be.”

We use “be” for time and weather.
What time is it now?
