付加疑問形を使ってみよう

The Additional Interrogative Form
付加疑問形を使って講師と会話してみましょう。
付加疑問というのは、「〜だよね?」という風に、相手に同意や確認を求める表現です。 普通に平叙文を作り、後ろに軽く疑問詞を付け加えます。 回答例の前後で肯定と否定が入れ替わっていることにお気づきかと思います。何故かというと、 「〜だよね?」という表現は相手にそれが正しいかそうでないのか、どちらかを選んでもらうからです。 【回答例】 He doesn't like beer, does he? 彼ってビール好きじゃないよね? You can play tennis well, can't you? 君ってテニス上手なんだよね?

You're a trilingual, aren't you? How did you learn the foreign languages?

自然な表現

You're a trilingual, aren't you? How did you learn the foreign languages?

Another expression: How did you become good at foreign languages?
Yes, I speak three languages. I learned them through a mix of formal study, daily use, and lots of practice, especially by communicating with native speakers and consuming media like books and videos. Which foreign language are you most interested in learning right now?

That's awesome! You have strived to acquire the languages, haven't you? I've been studying English and Korean, but I'd like to learn Spanish or Chinese if I have a chance.

Another expression: I’ve been learning English and Korean, and I hope to learn Spanish or Chinese someday.
Thank you! Yes, I enjoy learning languages as it opens up so many opportunities to connect with people and cultures. Spanish and Chinese are both great choices; they’re widely spoken and have rich cultural backgrounds. Do you find it easier to study languages with speaking practice, or by reading and listening first?

You're right. Learning a foreign language broadens our horizons. Whereas I never find it easy to study languages in the four skills, I enjoy communicating with foreigners by speaking English and Korean

1. You should use 'While' in this context to introduce a contrast between two related ideas within the same subject, 'Whereas' is commonly used to contrast two different subjects.
2. 'in all for skills' is a more natural way to express this idea.
3. A period is needed at the end of the sentence.
Studying languages is never easy, but the fact that you've mastered two languages means you can master more languages, doesn't it?

No, no, I haven't mastered them yet, and they are still ongoing. So you can use three languages like a native speaker, can't you? What languages do you speak?

1. You should use a comma after 'So' at the beginning of a sentence to separate it from the main clause.
I speak English, French and German. I am more comfortable with English, which I can speak with native-like fluency. The idea is to keep practising and interacting with native speakers.

Indeed. That's the best way to improve foreign language skills. Speaking English with non-native speakers who are learning English also helps me develop English.
