"Read aloud in English 1000 times." These are the words of Masao Kunihiro, the best simultaneous interpreter and the most famous English teacher of the 20th century. More and more teachers are telling students to "read aloud in English" at schools, cram schools, and prep schools. I think many teachers say to read aloud 10 or 30 times. Even 30 times is definitely better than not doing it at all. There is no doubt about this. However, if you read aloud 30 times in two or three days and then never look at the text again, the effect is limited and it is a great waste. If you read aloud the English text you have studied 500 or 1000 times after understanding the grammar, words, and phrases, you can acquire overwhelming English skills in all aspects of reading, listening, writing, and speaking. In this video, we will first have Arata, who obtained the Eiken Grade 1 in high school, talk about his experience studying with Kunihiro's book, and then talk about the reason for reading aloud 1000 times and what happens when you read aloud.
