教你1周驾驭1门外语的绝招
迈克尔和马修是一对来自德国柏林的双胞胎——两兄弟没有啥特屌炸天的技能,也就是会个……10国外语的技能吧~他俩做了一个小小的语言实验:在一周掌握土耳其语可能吗!事实证明,一周学会一门语言也不是什么异想天开的事情嘛!想知道这对双胞胎是怎么做到的?看看他们分享给语言学习者的7个诀窍吧! 1. Get To Know Why Clearly define your goal at the very beginning and then plot a route towards this goal’s achievement. 2. Get Sticky Map and label your immediate environment in the new language from the very first moment. You’ll build and reinforce associations passively while going about your daily life. 3. Get A Partner There are few better motivations than a peer with the same goal. Whether you’re motivated by competition or a sense of mutual responsibility, the mere presence of a learning partner is likely to exert just the right amount of pressure to keep you on track. 4. Prepare Mini-Motivations You need landmarks on your route towards your goal. These landmarks can consist of small challenges - real life interactions in the language, for example - which force you to prepare areas of vocabulary to overcome them. The gratification that will come with their completion will serve to spur you on to ever greater heights. 5. Eat The Language Find a way to tie everything you do to learning. Surround yourself with the food, the music and the films, so that even in your downtime you can prime your mind towards the language and perhaps trigger further areas of interest and motivation. 6. Use What You Already Know The greater the depth of processing, the more likely the information will be remembered. Find pleasure in drawing parallels and making comparisons between the language(s) you already know and your new language. 7. Variation is the spice of life So you have your route plotted and an idea of your favored methods, but do remember to try new things; your new language has just as many sources as your native language. Try something new every day. Listen to a cheesy song, read a newspaper article from a newspaper whose politics differ from your own, write a story for kids, attempt some improvised theatre and talk to yourself while cooking. Spice it up and add some flavour to your language learning! |
