http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjY4NjE1OTQ4.htmlI came across this TED talk yesterday in which Chris Lonsdale, a psychologist from New Zealand talks about language learning. He believes that anybody can learn a language in six months if they follow the five principles and seven actions that he has formulated after assessing all the research available on language learning.
. R" R4 P% @# c" C+ | J: i昨天我看了一個TED演講，來自新西蘭的語言學家Chris Lonsdale講了語言學習的方法。在評估了所有語言學習的研究之后，他總結出了5個原則、7個行動。他相信只要遵從這5個原則、踐行這7個行動，任何人都能在6個月內學會一種外語。7 P2 L1 A' A# N0 }
! d$ D$ b, J0 m" KThe five principles are:
8 A- C- ~! c# g3 }! L& I2 @3 ?+ }5個原則：2 Y: j F) ], | L7 K% Y
1. Focus on language content that is relevant to you.
. N% k% @# K7 e, D+ ~. ?8 i專注和你日常相關的語言內容。
- Y4 _* B) e9 o2. Use your language as a tool to communicate from day 1.
! G- q1 j- x3 d" P從學習這門語言的第一天開始，就把它當做你的交流方式。
* X; M9 z' ^3 g" [; h! k$ ?3. When you understand the message you will acquire the language unconsciously.0 i# ^, w4 g0 ^% o8 V( }2 l% x
當你明白含義之后，你會慢慢不知不覺地習得這門語言。
/ s' d) x, o4 B, j4. Language is not about accumulating a lot of knowledge but is rather a type of physiological training.
% |7 s6 @4 n" p# e語言學習不是大量知識的積累，而更像是一種生理訓練。
# K& U# e/ r2 c( r5. Psycho-physiological state matters – you need to be happy, relaxed, and most importantly, you need to be tolerant of ambiguity. Don’t try to understand every detail as it will drive you crazy.' z/ E) {# M' i/ t; Q3 B! B
心理狀態和生理狀態都很重要：你需要愉快、放松，最重要的是對于模棱兩可要有一定容忍性。對于細枝末節不要過于糾結，因為那會把你逼瘋的。6 u; K2 k$ f3 S; r8 H
9 A* j3 L S2 z) kThe seven actions are:/ G. a7 r$ B5 q h: C3 u! n
7個行動：' C7 u% @. M* ]& o8 k0 W' v- ]
1. Listen a lot – it doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Listen to rhythms and patterns.! ]# {* R* f6 F- n: e
多聽——理解與否不重要，盡管去聽吧！去聽聽語言節奏和說話模式。3 Z! P- L/ `* q, L
2. Focus on getting the meaning first, before the words. Body language and facial expressions can help.. B) P `! c, K+ w( R+ T
先專注理解整體意思，再弄清單詞含義。身體語言和面部表情會有所幫助。8 ^% u" o T- N, c% Z
3. Start mixing, get creative, and use what you’re learning$ y, W/ U2 h! G0 z1 |
開始混合，創造話語并使用你所學到的一切。. U8 V& \" J0 H, K7 h
4. Focus on the core – use the most commonly-use the words, and use the language to learn more
, w, W! P' k8 L把注意力集中在核心部分——使用高頻詞匯，利用你已經學會的東西學到更多。
8 f/ m- w, G" e' h. N5. Get a language parent – someone who is fluent in the language and who will do their best to understand what you mean; who will not correct your mistakes; who will feedback their understanding of what you’re saying using correct language, and uses words that you know.
2 f& _9 j0 M! X8 f找個語伴——能流利講這門語言的人，或者能盡可能理解你說什么的人。注意，語伴不會糾正你的錯誤，但能夠用正確的語言、你明白的語言來對你的表現做出反饋。4 Y; C6 |- i$ M+ A+ R! K" a+ ?
6. Copy the face – watch native speakers and observe their face, and particular their mouth moves when they’re speaking./ ?, y5 {* [1 o1 B
模仿面部表情——有些人的母語正是你要學習的新語言，你要觀看他們講話，觀察他們的面部表情、尤其是講話時的嘴型。
4 m3 U( J& h V1 {# K7. “Direct connect” to the target language – find ways to connect words directly with images and other internal representations.6 O$ Z* p" e* \& s
在大腦和目的語之間建立“直接聯系”——想辦法讓語言和大腦中的圖像或其他內部表象產生直接聯系。 |
