【經驗分享】
我們從小就學英語,學了這么多年感覺還是聽不懂并且不敢開口,最近嘗試換了一種方式重新拾起英語,些許個人經驗分享,如有不適合之處歡迎吐槽。
我們下定決心學語言通常都有一個契機,或者是看到身邊的小伙伴們在努力?或者是想不帶字幕的看懂一部電影?或者是想出國旅游時可以和外國人交流?或者是為了升職加薪?或者僅僅是為了愛好。。。不管是哪種,至少你已經有了一個目標,有了一個動機,最重要的是你有興趣有目的地去做,內心渴望學習才能更加投入,更容易堅持住。我們已經過了需要考試的年紀,so just do what you want and enjoy it.
大概是去年的時候老公加入了一個網絡外教一對一課程,他的英語基礎不是很好,但是經過小半年的時間(每天25分鐘練習)已經有很大進步,至少他真的敢說了,于是他勸我也嘗試一下,雖然我基礎還可以但是不敢交流,出國玩的時候還得慫恿老公去問路。堅持了三個月后確實發現自己有很大提升,和外教日常交流已經沒什么大問題了,聊得好的外教我們彼此經常會分享一些近期發生的小故事等,整個學習過程是快樂的,有趣的,還可以交到好朋友。
前一陣聽了一堂微課,伍教授教大家要使用“真英語”,“真英語”指的是那些“使用級”的英文原著,國外網站,電視節目,演講等等,而不是教材一類的“學習級”內容。我現在已經開始嘗試透析法讀英文小說,開始選了《Robinson cursoe》,讀了大概20%實在讀不下了,生詞太多,換了《Harry Poter and the Phiosopher’s Stone》之后好很多,所以選書一定要根據自己的水平和喜歡讀的類型來選擇,難度從低到高,循序漸進,讀完一本給自己一些小獎勵,既有成就感又有禮物收,perfect!
平時地鐵或者空閑時間我磨耳朵,聽一些英語廣播,如 Tunein Radio或者iphone自帶 podcast。
以上就是我最近在堅持的三件事。最后想說,學英語的方法有很多,可以參考上面的5 Principles 7 Actions先嘗試一種,如果能一起實踐當然最好了,但不管哪種方法一定要堅持,要堅持,要堅持!因為學語言真的沒有捷徑,多聽--讓自己沉浸在英語的環境下,量變一定會達到質變;多說—別放過任何用英語的機會,最好是找個小伙伴一起練習效果很更好。身邊有那么多的小伙伴都在努力,你也不能落下哦!一起加油!
