This is an act like a 2 people?

Memo

冒頭で演者と審査者の挨拶のやり取りが1分程度あるので、そこを聞き取り書き取り。挨拶の勉強になる。スキンヘッドの眼鏡のおじさん、早口になるところが難しかった。あと固有名詞、地名。

1分30秒程度で、軽めの話題なら、ディクテーションしてnote書いてで30分~1時間くらいかなあ。手書きでノート書き取って、noteに書く際に英文をGoogle翻訳に掛けてスペルミスなどがないか見てる感じ。特に後者のほうが時間掛かってる気も。

こうしてみると、Theは弱く発話されていることが良く分かる。スペルは予測変換に頼っているところが大きく、手で書くとスペルミス多い。漢字圏の人間の場合、読めるけど書けない現象が起きるけど、英語ネイティブの人でも英語読めるけど書けないスペルわからんみたいなのあるのかあ。比較的表音文字だから書けちゃうのかなあ。
