我是怎么看friends练口语的(转贴)
很早就开始看F6,最开始是从起床开始,就一个人对着电脑,傻笑一天,每天吃一顿饭,傍晚和同学一起吃饭的时候,基本就不会说中国话了,被人说什么第一个反应就是英文。周末同学都回家了,更是变本加厉,因为没有人和我说话,内心独白都是F6里的各种声音,还有那种“哄笑”配乐,一个周下来,感觉人快疯了。
大学的时候是为了好玩,没想着真的用它来学英语。
后来工作了几年,因为一直野心勃勃的要去美国公干,所以从那个时候开始重新FAN F6,很长一段时间过去,学下来,感觉有些许体会了,上来冒个泡。
第一遍,带中文字幕看一遍
10季真不是个小数字,看了一遍把当初那种感觉找了回来,所谓的感觉,就是在内心独白的时候都是英语,说话的第一个反应也是英文。
第二遍,带英文字母看了一遍
我买的是60张的那种DVD,英文字母有几季还是不错的,后面的越做越差,真是没法看,就当了剧本。第二次看,基本都能听懂了,就帮着DVD校对字幕,校对的过程中,听力本身就是一个提升。
第三遍,不说你也知道了,去掉字幕,
去掉字母有一个好处,就像丢了拐棍,你听起来就不会像看着英文字母那样一下就反映到脑子里,还要想一下,哦,这个单词是什么来着,因为我们很多时候对于掌握了的单词,突然冒出来,还是会思维停滞一下,就在这停滞的一下,新的内容又冲进来了,你就顾此失彼,到最后,前面的没想起来,后面的又忘了听,刚开始的时候是懊丧不已,因为前两遍的信心全被他给摧毁了,不过没关系,很正常的么,这个地方,你就要不停的重复听,所以你买DVD机比较好,有那个A-B重复健,可以无限重复你要听的句子,你总有想起来的那一刻吧
第三遍是最痛苦的,也是最能升华的一个阶段。
我在做第三遍的时候,是听力口语一起来的,其实这两个本来就是分不开的,
口语,要求自己强力模仿!!!!!注意这个词哦~~~不是吃干饭的,充分利用了A-B健,一个句子重复放,跟着读,然后跟着说,最后脱口而出,一点也不比他们差,甚至可以在语气,语调上,和他们一模一样。作这一部分的时候,我犯了一个错误,就是跟着读剧本,这是十分错误的,正确的做法是,像学鸟叫一样,学他们的声音,不要把自己原来读英文的习惯带到里面去,剧本只是告诉你他们再说什么内容,只是一个提示的作用,因为他们有很多连度,四个音节,在他们嘴里常常变成了2个音节,甚至一个音就带过了,你根本就反应不过来,这也就是我们听不懂他们说话的原因,太快了,而你根本不知道他连读了,如果按照自己的读英文的习惯,永远也做不到他们一样快。所以记住,!!!!!!学他们发出的声音,而不是读他们说出的句子!!!!!!!
这第三遍,我可以用老牛拉破车来形容,实在是很慢很无聊,要花费大量的时间,特别是一开始,记得101背到我想吐,莫尼卡的那句 “THERE IS NOTHING TO TELL@!#$%@#%@!%@$#%”可以直接当减肥药了,一听到就想吐!!但是,有一点保证,以后老外用多快的速度,我都能听懂她在说“THERE IS NOTHING TO TELL@!#$%@#%@!%@$#%”而且可以和她说的一样快,一样纯正的美国纽约音。兄弟们~~~代价惨重阿~~~~~`你可以算一下,一集大约20分钟,每句话重复10遍,那是什么概念,就是一集学下来要200分钟,折合3个多小时,如果你特别笨的话,多跟几遍,时间又上去了,我经常会思想溜号,A-B的时候不知道想什么去了,就要多重复几遍。我当初算了一下,我大约要跟到第7遍的时候才有感觉,前面不是语速慢了,就是快了,要么就是停顿不对,也可能我比较笨?加上笨的原因,加上溜号,大约有4个小时一集把.
下面分析一下他们六个人的口音语速,RACH,我最喜欢的角色,她的口音不很好学,因为她经常会发出很可爱的声音,感情丰富啊,而且连音也比较多,但是学她很有用,因为她的发音很性感,个人认为。CHANDLER这个家伙经常会把我逼疯的,他太贫了,语速又快,最难学了,,最好学的是PHEEBS,很喜欢她,她的发音很圆润,语速也很正常,MONIKA 可以用她来练长句子,她经常会一口气说很多,JOEY,他反映慢,语速适中应该是最好学的一个,可是他的声音太低了,不适合女生学,我学他太吃力了,男生的话是个首选~~~~
这样我整了3季的时候,除了生词,在新天地泡吧的时候,可以和老外自由对话,心理满足了一把
过了3季,后面的7季就会块很多,因为很多句子,在你的耳朵里已经是很简单的,根本不需要重复,你要练习的只是特别难的那些长句,记不记得伦敦之行?走之前,莫尼卡的那一口气说完的长句子,呵呵,那就是最高境界,你可以脱口而出,和她一样快,一样不喘气,后面的你就不用跟了,你可以出师了~~~
但是,这是3季以后的事了,3季不过,一切免谈~~~
而且有一项工作是必须作的,是贯穿10季的工作,那就是笔记!!!
除非你的牛人,不过牛人也就不来看我这个帖子了,呵呵
笔记很重要,里面会有生词,特别是“该死的ROSS”,他在里面经常不出好词,你就查吧,
再就是俚语,很多俚语这才是地道的美语,你只有作了笔记你才有积累,最重要的是多有成就干啊,看到那么多的笔记,我的笔记可以从地板摞到写字台那么高,因为我字特别大?不是!是我做得很细!细到从头看IS的用法,把它当作一个事业来做,当作一个重整英语的契机,好好的梳理一下自己的存货。
说实话,这也很痛苦的~~~~~看肥皂剧是很开心的,可是学肥皂剧就没那么开心了
最后,就是坚持的动力了,
我不知道别人是为什么,要学好英语,但是你的动力要足,而且经常要受受刺激,否则的话很容易坚持不下来。
