最近和朋友闲聊，聊起英语学习的老问题，发觉我们的阅读听力提升都很快，只是唯独口语迟迟提高不上去。分析其原因，一不愿意开口与外国人瞎掰，二口语积累太少。害羞的性格使得我不愿意开口与外国人说话，怕说错于是更不敢说。回想自己与外国人的交谈，几乎没有时间在脑子里中文翻译为英文，总是张口就说。有时常会惊讶于自己脱口而出的英文单词，大量的美剧“泛读”积累使得我能够不知不觉的掌握一些单词或表达。但是这样“泛读”美剧还是远远不够的，于是我打算开始“精读”美剧，挑来选去，最适合学习日常生活表达的剧是摩登家庭（modern family）。
我的学习方法是，打开摩登家庭其中一集，找一张长纸条遮住下方中文和英文的字幕，先盲听，再着重听自己听不懂的句子。大概两三分钟停一次，再对照着台词，看剧中的表达。最后一步，将这些表达积累并整理出来。
以下是我对第一季第一集的整理，几乎都是简单的句子，没有什么太难的表达，却句句都很地道。学习完一个表达之后，可以尝试着自己去扩展它，重新造句。我会努力更新，也希望小伙伴们可以和我一起坚持下去哦。
