🇺🇸 アメリカン・イングリッシュ英会話を学びませんか？日本人の方(18歳以下)の為の初心者向けの英会話レッスンです。アメリカのカリフォルニア州ロサンゼルスに20年以上在住しております。今すぐ役立つアメリカ英語の英会話をズームでお教え致します。世界各国のどこからでも学んで頂く事ができます。
🌟英語には色んなアクセントがありますが、アメリカのロサンゼルスの標準な英語が1番世界で使わせています。エンターテイメント業界があるハリウッド、また世界的にビジネスを広げている会社はアメリカの会社が1番多いので、標準なアメリカン英語の発音を使う事が好ましいのです。また、アメリカのニュース・キャスターは全てロサンゼルス(北アメリカ)の発音に統一されています。例えばアメリカのテキサス州やテネシー州など他の州は日本語と同じように方言や強いアクセントがあります。発音が違うと”田舎から来たの？”と思われてしまいがちなのが正直なところ現実です。日本語で例えると、東京弁が標準語ですが、九州弁や秋田弁など習ってしまうと仕事や普通の会話で使えなくなりますね。それと同じで標準なアメリカ・ロサンゼルス発音(北アメリカ)の英語が最も好ましいのです。
🎖信頼なるバックグラウンド記章バッチ付き教師🎖
Takelessons.comを通しアメリカのバックグラウンド確認調査にパスし犯歴、訴訟歴、性的暴行歴、破産歴、税務滞納歴、交通違反、飲酒運転歴の全く無い教師として安心して未成年のお子様を預けて頂けます。(英語のできる方は、このプロフィールの私の名前の下にある” Background Check”をクリックしてご覧下さい。)
🌟ここでの英会話レッスンは日頃ロサンゼルスで良く使われる日常会話のレッスンや、日本人に難しい発音、アメリカと日本のカルチャーや考え方の違い、テキストを使わず生きた本当の英会話を学びたい方、またアメリカのハリウッド情報なども、お伝えして行きます。

General Note: I majored in Spanish undergrad, and have explored a number of different way to continue learning in NYC - group classes and language programs have their value but can not complete with in-person, 1v1 instruction.

Topics You'll Learn During English Lessons
Private ESL teachers always tailor lessons to each student's needs so that topics will vary based on the student's skill level, age, and interests. Your private English tutor will assess where you are and help get you where you want to go. For example, ESL classes for adults vary greatly from English lessons for kids in terms of their learning style and speed. Take a look at some sample topics for each level below.
Sample Curriculum for Beginner ESL Lessons
If you have little or no familiarity with English, then you’ll first want to cover the fundamentals. By building a strong foundation with the language, you’ll be prepared to take on more advanced topics later on. At the beginning stage, your teacher will help you set smart and achievable goals, so you will notice an improvement with every lesson!
At your first English lessons you can expect to see the following topics:
- Alphabet and vowel sounds
- Basic pronunciation rules
- Greetings and introductions
- Simple vocabulary words
- Introduction to grammar
Once you master these beginner topics, you will be all set to tackle more advanced concepts during intermediate lessons.
Sample Curriculum for Intermediate English Lessons
Intermediate ESL classes are designed to take your beginning English skills to the next level. In intermediate classes, you'll start to build up your conversational skills and take on more complex topics. At this stage, it’s a good idea to simulate English immersion the best you can – that means watching movies, listening to music, and reading books in English! The more English media you take in, the deeper your understanding of the language will become.
In intermediate English lessons, you’ll explore the following topics:
- Develop a greater understanding of grammar rules
- Introduction to additional verb tenses
- Practice reading and writing
- Improve listening comprehension
- Basic conversation skills
The more you practice these topics, the more comfortable you will become with the language. You’ll start recognizing more words and phrases and begin piecing together your own sentences and building conversations of your own.
Sample Curriculum for Advanced ESL Lessons
Advanced ESL students should already have a firm grasp of the language and a strong desire to perfect their English skills. At this level, you’ll explore the many nuances of English – this is where the beauty of the language really shines! You’ll now be ready to take on complex and thought-provoking subject matter and express yourself in English just as you would in your native language.
Course topics in advanced ESL lessons cover the following:
- Accent reduction
- Perfecting grammar
- Reading inferences and nuances
- Idiomatic language and colloquialisms
- Great cultural understanding
When it comes to mastering a language, practice makes perfect. And one thing is for certain: with the right teacher, you can reach your full potential with the language as fast as possible.

Popular English Articles from our Blog
Although words may be limited and simple, it is still possible to enjoy conversations in English even if you are a beginner. I think that it’s essential to be able to express basic needs and to clearly express your identity. Let’s get started with the very basics and then we’ll build from there. Greetings and Introductions: When meeting new people you need to be able to greet them. If you are in an informal situation you might say, “Hey, I’m (name), nice to meet you.” In order …
