ボビーの料理教室で英語を学ぶ Bobbyjudo's kitchen



 What bothers me when editing a video is my ''ENGLISH'' speaking skill besides cooking skill. Everytime I edit a cooking video, I tend to have something which I can't figure out how I should say in English. In that respect, cookingwithdog is doing really good job besides cooking. May be that's the another  reason that I can never catch up them. Come to think of it, bobbyjudo is doing the same thing in Japanese. He usually speaks in Japanese in his cooking videos with English translation. Why didn't I notice this fact by now? I should have noticed this earlier. I surely can learn many English lines from his videos. So I've started watching all his videos again and I take a note when I find some sentences which I think it's useful for my future video. So It could be bobbyjudo's line whenever you see me explaining in a good English sentences in my future video :)

Thanks to Jeff for sharing wonderful recipies and adding English annotations!

ビデオ編集してると料理の技術以外に自分の英会話スキルで悩まされる。どのように英語で表現したらいいのかわからなくなる事が多々ある。そういった点で、cookingwithdogは料理以外でもさすが。これもまたcookingwithdogに全然追いつけない要因かも。そういえばbobbyjudo(ジェフ)は日本語で同じような事してたっけ。彼の料理ビデオではたいてい英語注釈付きで日本語で説明してる。なんで今まで気づかなかったのか。もっと早い時期に気づくべきだった。彼のビデオから(料理だけじゃなく)色んな英語の使い方を学べるはず。そんなわけで最近はボビーの料理教室を見直しながら気になった英語注釈があればメモするようにしてる。きっと役に立つ日も来るでしょう。この先自分の料理ビデオで、【らしい英語】で説明してる時があったらボビーの料理教室で学んだ「英語」かもしれません ^^

ありがとうジェフ!

  2. Is this the explanation for your improved written/annotated English in your videos lately? (I love Bobby Judo videos too!)
    Maybe you can read recipes in English to get a feel for how they explain their instructions. For example: http://sumokitchen.com
    English is a difficult language-even for native speakers. I think you're doing really well-please don't despair! :)

  3. You're doing fine as is. Like the anonymous commenter mentioned, English is an extremely difficult language to learn. Keep up the great work!

  4. I don't know what it is but the way you are allready doing it is the reason i like it more than others doing it in japanese with english translations. Wathing your videos is more like a experience than just a how to cook. You should do what you prefer but I for one would love to see you keep going it as you have been doing it allready.

  5. P.S. I referred the Sumo Kitchen link as it is written by a Japanese woman in English (hope that helps!).

  6. P.P.S. Just another thought! Maybe you can read recipe instructions out loud to get a feel for them and to hear them in use. Then you can tailor them to your videos!

  8. Yes, you are doing great. As an English speaking person learning Japanese, I have all the respect in the world for you! By the way, I am going to try to make your Ramen for my husband's birthday. I think he'll love it!
