English Speaking Practice by Voice Typing
For English learners at the level from "beginner" to "lower intermediate"
Hello! (^o^)/ I'm a Japanese man and an English language learner. I’ll type your voice in MS Word using the Skype video call or the Google+ Hangouts video call with a screen-share function.
■ 1) Skype or Hangouts video call + MS Word
This is a unique practice for your speaking
skill.
・ We use the Skype or the Google+ Hangouts video call.
・ Use your personal computer or cellular/mobile phone. (PC is recommended for the better call connection.)
・ Use a headset or an earphone.
・ I share the screen of my computer with you. (You’ll see the screen of my computer on your PC or phone.)
・ I type both what you say and what I say in MS Word. (Not word-to-word typing)
・ You can turn off the camera function if you don’t want to show your face. However, I share the screen of my computer with you, so you actually don’t have to worry about it.
◆ Please kindly understand and make sure that this is NOT a teaching lesson but a speaking practice by yourself. I’m not an English teacher but just an English learner and an assistant for typing what you say.
・ It will be fun when you see that your voice will be typed on the screen. (Not word-to-word typing)
・ It will encourage you to speak more with joy.
・ You can practice concentrating on the sentence structure while talking.
・ You can enhance the motivation for listening and reading skill at the same time.
・ You can have a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of satisfaction after practicing. So please try to speak the words you already learned/studied so far.
I take the statistics for the first three words of your conversation. It will make you notice which first three words you often use.
■ 3) Recording the conversation - YouTube
・ The speaking practice session will be video recorded. I will send you the link of it after saving in my YouTube channel.
・ The video is limited to view. It is basically only for the customers I will send the link for privacy reason. So it is not open to the public.
・ However, if you’d like to make it open to get more attention from many of other English learners at the same level of yours all over the world to make friends with and to practice with, it is highly recommended to do so.
・ And you might get a discount on session fee by introducing your friends to join. Please see the Session Fee page.)
・ You can figure out and confirm good points and the points that should be improved by listening to your own conversation in the video.
・ It can largely increase effects of reviewing.
★ This program is an online English conversation practice with MS Word as a main shared screen, not a class lesson style. The acquisition of English speaking skill as a foreign language resembles the practice of sports. It won’t be improved if you do not continue a practice without being afraid of making mistakes. Then why don't you practice by this unique method until you get used to English conversation and have confidence even just a little? (^o^)/
※ If my English is incorrect, improper or inappropriate, please excuse me because I am an English learner, too.
