昔の自分は今よりもっと英語が話せなかったって英語でなんて言うの?

今もまだまだだけど、以前に比べたらマシになっていると伝えたいです。I was not able to speak English compared to now. I was not able to speak English as much as I am. で通じますか。

  • "I wasn't able to speak english compared to now."

  • "I wasn't able to speak English as much as I can now."

- "I wasn't able to speak english compared to now." この文は合っていますが "was not" より "wasn't" の方が自然な言い方になります。 - "I wasn't able to speak English as much as I can now." ”I am" を "I can now" 「私は今できる」に直しました。 "as much as I can now" の代わりに "as well as I can now" も使えます。 "I wasn't able to speak English as well as I can now."

  • I wasn't able to speak English nearly as well as I can now a long time ago.

  • I couldn't speak as much English as I can now when I was younger.

ーI wasn't able to speak English nearly as well as I can now a long time ago. 「昔は今ほど英語が話せなかった」 not nearly as ... as「〜より全く…でない」を使って表現できます。 a long time ago で「昔・ずっと前」 ーI couldn't speak as much English as I can now when I was younger. 「若い頃は今ほど英語が話せなかった」 I couldn't speak as much English as I can now「今ほど英語が話せなかった」のようにも表現できます。 ご参考まで!

  • I used to speak English much less than I do now.

・**I used to speak English much less than I do now.** 「以前は今より英語がずっと話せなかった」 used to は「以前は〜だったが今は違う」という意味で、成長のニュアンスが強くなります。 much less は “かなり少なく” と強調する表現です。 ・**I couldn't speak English as well as I can now.** 「今ほど英語がうまく話せなかった」 as well as は比較の基本表現で、「〜ほど〜ではなかった」を作るときに便利です。
