2021年8/16の週は、NHKラジオ英会話は再放送のため、
今回は洋画のディクテーションに挑戦しました
普段聞いているラジオ英語と洋画での音声を聞き比べたいと思ったのです
また、アメリカの南北戦争がどんなものか知りたいと思いました
実際にディクテーションのトライした内容を記録してみました
皆さんもお気に入りの洋画、ドラマで英語が
どれくらい聞き取れるかトライしてみてはどうでしょうか？
新たな発見が見つかるかもしれませんよ
今回使用したDVDは以下です

洋画の内容からは、当時の痛ましさが伝わってきます
今週はこの映画を聞いていこう思います
英語に興味がある方はぜひ挑戦してみてください
ではまた！
