Jazz is the Kotodama of English

To understand English, you must feel its rhythm — and that rhythm lives in jazz. Discover why vocabulary alone can never reveal the emotions behind English, and how Offbeat Counting opens the door to both groove and language.

The Kotodama

ジャズは英語の言霊だ。ジャズがわかれば英語はわかる。その言葉の奥にある感情が見える様になる。逆に言えばジャズがわからなければ単語を暗記するだけに終始し単語の向こうにある感情が見えなくなる。ではジャズをわかる為にはどうすればいいか。それがオフビートカウントだ。

Jazz is the kotodama of English. If you understand jazz, you understand English. You begin to see the emotions that lie behind the words. Conversely, if you cannot understand jazz, your English study reduces to memorizing vocabulary, and the feelings behind those words remain invisible. So what must you do to understand jazz? That is where Offbeat Counting comes in.
