Your ability to build better habits will improve by learning a new language.從認(rèn)知的角度來(lái)說(shuō)，學(xué)一門第二外語(yǔ)有很多益處。比方說(shuō)，有研究顯示學(xué)習(xí)一門新語(yǔ)言可以延緩老年癡呆癥，可以提高大腦能力，可以減少認(rèn)知偏差，甚至還可以增強(qiáng)注意力避免分心。學(xué)會(huì)一門新語(yǔ)言，可以培養(yǎng)很多好習(xí)慣。But,

The challenge isn t in learning a new language, but rather learni

Once you know the techniques, you ll be able to apply the same grammatical patterns and language techniques in every new language you learn.我覺(jué)得學(xué)第二語(yǔ)言最酷的事情是：學(xué)會(huì)了它會(huì)讓你學(xué)第三、第四甚至第五語(yǔ)言的過(guò)程更容易。你所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)不是學(xué)會(huì)一門新語(yǔ)言， 而是學(xué)會(huì)如何學(xué)語(yǔ)言。一旦你掌握了技巧，你就可以把同樣的語(yǔ)法模式和語(yǔ)言技巧應(yīng)用到你想學(xué)的任何一種新語(yǔ)言上。Why most people are w

According to official standardized tests, I was an expert in Spanish. But I couldn t even do the most basic of tasks!到底哪里出問(wèn)題了?根據(jù)官方標(biāo)準(zhǔn)測(cè)試的結(jié)果，我可是西班牙語(yǔ)的專家呀! 但我卻無(wú)法用西班牙語(yǔ)來(lái)進(jìn)行最基本的交流。The fact is that we not taught la

8、nguages in the ideal way. Students study languages in huge groups and think that a few worksheets and grammar exercises will be enough to learn a language. Yet almost no one actually learns to speak.事實(shí)是在學(xué)校老師教我們語(yǔ)言的方式并不是理想的學(xué)習(xí)方法。 大部分的學(xué)生都是在班級(jí)里一大群人一起學(xué)語(yǔ)言，我們以為做一些語(yǔ)法練習(xí)題，就夠我們學(xué)會(huì)一門語(yǔ)言。其實(shí)我們基本沒(méi)有學(xué)習(xí)如果去說(shuō)這門語(yǔ)言。In actua

9、lity, by doing worksheets, we are practicingfor just that for worksheets. But if you want to learn to speak, well, you actually have to practice by speaking.實(shí)際上， 做練習(xí)題的方法，只是讓我們完成練習(xí)。但如果你想要學(xué)會(huì)開(kāi)口說(shuō)，你其實(shí)需要通過(guò)講話的方式來(lái)練習(xí)。So when people try to learn to speak a language outof a book, I try to show them that they w

A lot.所以每次我遇到想通過(guò)一本書(shū)學(xué)會(huì)一門語(yǔ)言的人，我通常都會(huì)告訴他們：這種方法無(wú)法讓他們實(shí)現(xiàn)語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的目標(biāo)。如果你想要說(shuō)， 你就要通過(guò)口語(yǔ)練習(xí)。如果你想讓自己說(shuō)得非常流利，那你就要開(kāi)始做大量的口語(yǔ)練習(xí)。The Basic Strategy Of Rapid L

11、anguage Learning快速語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的基本策略Learning a language can seemdaunting, so I mgoing to provide an overview of the general strategy, before we get into the specifics.學(xué)習(xí)一門語(yǔ)言似乎讓人畏懼，所以我們先來(lái)看看基本策略，然后再詳細(xì)說(shuō)明。1. Get the right resources for learning: A grammarbook, memorization software, and films/books.找到學(xué)習(xí)的正確資源：一本語(yǔ)

12、法書(shū)，一個(gè)記憶軟件，若干電影或書(shū)籍2. Get a private tutor. You want one for at least a month. I recommend four hours/day.請(qǐng)一位私人教師。你至少需要私人教師陪練一個(gè)月時(shí)間， 我建議每天四小時(shí)。3. Attempt to speak and think only in the new language. Every time you can t remember a word, put that word into your memorization software. Practice your vocabul

13、ary daily.試著只用這門新的語(yǔ)言說(shuō)話和思考。每當(dāng)你想不起一個(gè)單詞的時(shí)候，把那個(gè)詞輸入你的記憶軟件。每天進(jìn)行詞匯練習(xí)。4. Find friends, language partners, and other speakers of the language. Onceyou can have basic conversations with your private tutor, you need to find other partners. If you haven t already, think about moving to the country where the lan

14、guage is spoken. Consider a group class. Practice continuously.尋找朋友、語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)搭檔或者其他說(shuō)這門語(yǔ)言的人。一旦你可以和私人教師進(jìn)行基本會(huì)話，你就需要尋找其他的搭檔。如果你還沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)備好，考慮一下搬去說(shuō)那門語(yǔ)言的國(guó)家。也可以參加集體授課班級(jí)。要不停地練習(xí)。That s the basic strategy. Again, this strategy is intensive, because learning a language in three months is a difficult task. If you d prefe

15、r to learn the language more slowly or you don t have the ability to move to a new country and practice 4-8 hours a day, then you can modify the plan.It is extremely important that you practice every day, however 20 minutes a day is much better than once or twice a week.這就是基本策略。這些策略執(zhí)行起來(lái)非常有強(qiáng)度，因?yàn)樵谌齻€(gè)月內(nèi)

16、學(xué)會(huì)一門語(yǔ)言并非易事。如果你想要慢點(diǎn)學(xué)或者你沒(méi)法搬去另一個(gè)國(guó)家，或者你不能保證每天學(xué)習(xí)4-8 小時(shí)， 你也可以調(diào)整計(jì)劃。最重要的是你要每天練習(xí)，每天20 分鐘總比一周才練一兩次要好。The Resources You Need To Learn A Language學(xué)習(xí)一門語(yǔ)言需要的資源A good grammar book. This is essential if you want to learn a language.一本好的語(yǔ)法書(shū)。如果你想要學(xué)習(xí)一門語(yǔ)言，這是必備的。A phrase book. This is similar to a dictionary, but for phrases. You can start memorizing full sentences and phrases, and you ll naturally learn the individual words.一本短語(yǔ)手冊(cè)。這和字典類似，但是內(nèi)容是關(guān)于短語(yǔ)的。你可以從記憶完整的句子和短語(yǔ)開(kāi)始，之后自然會(huì)學(xué)會(huì)單獨(dú)的詞語(yǔ)。An online dictionary.
