こんにちは、Heart English Academy編集部おかっちです!
みなさんいかがお過ごしでしたでしょうか?
まだまだ長袖がいるのかな、寒いなぁ・・・と思っていたら、急に暑い日があったりとまだまだ気温が安定しませんね。こういうときこそ体調に気をつけましょうね。
実家の両親がワクチンの予約をするためにGW中から毎日電話をかけているのですが一度もかかることなく今週まで来ました。インターネットで調べてみると、もう今月は予約できないみたいです。ぜんそくで肺炎にもかかったことがあるのでぼくもはやくワクチンを打ちたいのですが・・・。いつになるのかなぁ・・・。そんなわけで最近は特に気をつけていてどこにも出かけず引きこもりです。
さて、HEAのTwitterアカウントで単熟語の連続ツイートをただいま行っています。穴埋め式で単語を定着させたい方はぜひとも利用していただければと思います!
ぼくもいくつか言えないものがあったのでこの機会に覚え直しをしました!

Kindleのオーディオブック化 by Miyo a.k.a kiki
今回でこのメルマガも連載30回目になりました🎉
こんなことを言って喜んでいるのは自分だけというか、HEA男性陣はとてもクールですね(笑)
このマガジンを創刊するまで書くことは不得意分野だと思っていたので、毎回土曜日が来る度にけっこうな達成感を味わっています。
これを毎週欠かさずに30週も続けれたなんて、自分にとって本当にすごいことというか、喜ばしいことです。
いつも購読して下さっている皆さんはどんな方かなぁなんて考えていますが、私の頭の中では英語はもちろん、読むことが大好きでとっても知的な方だろう!と(ほぼ)決めつけています。
昔から読書好きな人が好きで、楽しみながら読める人に強い憧れを持っているんですよね。
自分はそんな人になりたくて真似事をやっています(笑)
ぶろりさんや編集長を間近で見ていると分かるのですが(ご自身では決して触れませんが)本当に能力が高いというか、読むことも書くこともとっても優れています(スピードが私の1万倍くらい速いです(笑)
そんな2人をリサーチしたところ、共通点は子供の頃から積み重ねられてきた半端ない読書量にありそうだと(勝手に)推定しました。
インプットの量が本当にすごいんです・・・。
英語もそうですが、そもそも日本語がとても綺麗なんですよ。
きっと国語力(日本語力)が高いので、他のどの分野を勉強しても身に付きやすいんじゃないかなぁ・・・なんてこれまた勝手に思っています。
というわけで私にとってHEAメンバーと購読者の皆さんは憧れの対象です。
よろしければサポートお願いいたします・・・! いただいたサポートはさらに記事を充実させるために使わせていただきます!
