☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのTOPIC : the ways to inprove English skill while you are speaking your mother language is........

I need some opinion from people who study and speak English.

At first, let me sate my assumption not to cause misunderstanding.
1. Trying to work hard in English as you are doing now is so important and I never deny it.
2. I like discussion on the pursued the fact, truth and many points of view but not for breaking opinion of other meaninglessly.


Do you think “Changing communication style” build up English-speaking skill?

I would like to discuss my idea with u from these two points of view below.

Now I am researching how to brush up English skill by speaking Japanese language. It equal to brush up mother-language skill to improve English skill. In the days, I finally found the conclusion above.

1. To speak Japanese in English grammars.

To explain it more concretely, it’s defined as “to be assertive-styled communication”. It doesn’t mean to be expressive but to be conscious to speak from conclusion which is “what a speaker want say or tell in one phrase”.
In my opinion, the reason why English is one of hard languages for Japanese people is not only because they have customs of speaking and outputting English in spite of the fact that we had been learning perfect grammars of English and many difficult words for 6 year of the term they were junior-high and high school students but also difference of speaking-style.

Generally English is ‘conclusion-based language’ I think. Conclusion-based language starts with “conclusion”. In other word, we have to clarify what we would like to say first, and next term we have to state the reasoning of conclusion. If necessity, we also state the evidence grounded by his or her idea based by knowledge and experiential episode of the speaker.

On contrary, Japanese language do not always need to speak from conclusion; therefore, it is so flexible that we can change the subject in the mid of conversation according to situation.

That is to say, due to the characteristic of language, we don’t always have to speak from what I would like to say when we are communicating in Japanese but English doesn’t work like that because of the communication style I explained above.

In summary, adopt grammars into English as long as speakers can is one of good ways to brush up English skill.

2. To keep away from “anmoku no ryoukai (shared idea)”.

When we are speaking with someone like friend or one who go with that we have known for long time, the communication is not complicated. For example, if I tell 10% of what I would like to say, he or she try to understand my idea by the mean of experience shared. In other word to say, most of communication with near one can be made up with non-verbal communication. However, communication with foreign people can’t do same as we have been because we need to tell the idea from one to ten until listeners can understand completely. As matter of fact, there don’t exist the “unmoku no ryukai” because we have been looking and sensing same things in different way and word of expression.
Although, it can be said for speaker with same language, but it’s going to be so hard as with different culture of back grounds from my experience.
Therefore, if we speak to someone who has different background, we have to tell form one through ten including assumption of words.
