I need to study English a bit urgently, and I may end up being a three-day monk again, but I’m doing my best anyway.
I’m a typical Japanese, I can read and write, but I’m not good at hearing and speaking.
I was surfing apps and news sites, wondering what I should do about the hearing, when I came across Bloomberg.
And I found this button.
なんか押してみたら、自動的に音声朗読始めた！
すごいー！聞いててそんな違和感ない。ヒアリング練習になるじゃないですか。もちろん元の英文もあるし、あと読むスピードも変更可能、0.5x、1.0x、2.0x、厳密な倍速にはなっていませんが、要するに遅い、普通、速いモードに切り替えられるというわけです。
It’s amazing how technology has evolved.
I don’t know, the professional version of Bloomberg is not very good looking (excuse me!). But the iOS version is really cool.
ちなみに、iOSのこちらの辞書機能も普通に使える！
This may have been introduced before.
However, it is difficult to study with professional economic news…
さてさて今日もがんばるか。
