【经验分享】
我们从小就学英语,学了这么多年感觉还是听不懂并且不敢开口,最近尝试换了一种方式重新拾起英语,些许个人经验分享,如有不适合之处欢迎吐槽。
我们下定决心学语言通常都有一个契机,或者是看到身边的小伙伴们在努力?或者是想不带字幕的看懂一部电影?或者是想出国旅游时可以和外国人交流?或者是为了升职加薪?或者仅仅是为了爱好。。。不管是哪种,至少你已经有了一个目标,有了一个动机,最重要的是你有兴趣有目的地去做,内心渴望学习才能更加投入,更容易坚持住。我们已经过了需要考试的年纪,so just do what you want and enjoy it.
大概是去年的时候老公加入了一个网络外教一对一课程,他的英语基础不是很好,但是经过小半年的时间(每天25分钟练习)已经有很大进步,至少他真的敢说了,于是他劝我也尝试一下,虽然我基础还可以但是不敢交流,出国玩的时候还得怂恿老公去问路。坚持了三个月后确实发现自己有很大提升,和外教日常交流已经没什么大问题了,聊得好的外教我们彼此经常会分享一些近期发生的小故事等,整个学习过程是快乐的,有趣的,还可以交到好朋友。
前一阵听了一堂微课,伍教授教大家要使用“真英语”,“真英语”指的是那些“使用级”的英文原著,国外网站,电视节目,演讲等等,而不是教材一类的“学习级”内容。我现在已经开始尝试透析法读英文小说,开始选了《Robinson cursoe》,读了大概20%实在读不下了,生词太多,换了《Harry Poter and the Phiosopher’s Stone》之后好很多,所以选书一定要根据自己的水平和喜欢读的类型来选择,难度从低到高,循序渐进,读完一本给自己一些小奖励,既有成就感又有礼物收,perfect!
平时地铁或者空闲时间我磨耳朵,听一些英语广播,如 Tunein Radio或者iphone自带 podcast。
以上就是我最近在坚持的三件事。最后想说,学英语的方法有很多,可以参考上面的5 Principles 7 Actions先尝试一种,如果能一起实践当然最好了,但不管哪种方法一定要坚持,要坚持,要坚持!因为学语言真的没有捷径,多听--让自己沉浸在英语的环境下,量变一定会达到质变;多说—别放过任何用英语的机会,最好是找个小伙伴一起练习效果很更好。身边有那么多的小伙伴都在努力,你也不能落下哦!一起加油!
