The most common way for China to learn English is to recite words. Some people even take pride in reciting a dictionary, but the explanation in the dictionary is dead, but the use of language is alive, and mechanical understanding will cause great misunderstanding. The dictionary is not the most important, but the context. It can be said that words don't have much practical value, and no matter how many words are memorized mechanically, it won't really improve your foreign language level. We should develop the good habit of reciting sentences, because sentences contain not only pronunciation rules, but also grammatical content, and can also show the specific meaning of a word in a specific language environment.
don't learn "antique English". Any language is alive and developing every day. Learning an old language is nothing new, and there is basically no place to use it. A language that is not lively, out of date and humorous is not the language we want to learn. Reading more foreign newspapers and watching more original film and television works will help to supplement new vocabulary.
Many people think that words can be spelled correctly by breaking them into letters and memorizing them. In fact, the scientific method is to integrate pronunciation, spelling and usage, synchronize them, use eyes, mouth, hands and brain, and apply them to sentences to understand.
English learning tips-listen to what you don't understand
When practicing listening, many people complain that they don't understand, so they lose the fun of listening and often give up halfway. In fact, even if you don't understand it, it's a kind of learning, but you can't perceive it yourself. Although you don't understand it for a while, your eardrum has begun to try to adapt to the pronunciation of a new language, and your brain is adjusting its frequency to accept a new information code, which is a leap in itself.
so remember: when you don't understand, you are also making progress.
To practice listening, you should make full use of psychological unintentional attention. As long as you have time, you should turn on the tape recorder to play foreign language tapes, so that you can be in a foreign language environment. Maybe you didn't hear what you said clearly. It doesn't matter. You can do other things at will without paying attention. As long as you have pronunciation in a foreign language environment around you, your listening will be improved.
Tips for learning English-Dare to speak
It is very important to learn English to communicate with others, but it is also a major feature of China people to learn English. The problems lie in the following points:
First, some people regard understanding as the standard of learning. I got a spoken English textbook, opened a few pages and understood it, so I thought it was too simple and not suitable for myself. In fact, the content of the teaching materials for practicing oral English is certainly not difficult, otherwise it is impossible to practice. Understanding doesn't mean speaking. It is the main goal of oral teaching materials to express these things fluently.
Second, never use Chinese characters to remember English pronunciation. If you learn a foreign language with poor pronunciation, you will never really master a foreign language, and the biggest harm is that it is not conducive to cultivating interest in foreign languages and affecting the next step of learning. Now some people label English with Chinese pronunciation, such as "goodbye" as "ancient worship", and even publish this practice as a result, which will certainly lead to endless troubles.
the third point that I dare not speak is that I am afraid of grammar mistakes. Don't read grammar books unless you have specific questions. Learning grammar ahead of time will make you fall into a fog and lose your interest and confidence in learning a foreign language.
Moreover, grammar is like swimming theory, which is of little use to people who have never been in the water. Similarly, for beginners who are not rich in language practice, it is not very useful to learn grammar directly. Therefore, we must understand grammar in combination with language practice. Grammar is a theoretical thinking after learning a language. There is no right or wrong in learning a language, as long as you can say it and make people understand the meaning. You don't have to think hard about what sentence patterns to use, as long as you can choose a correct word.
The best way to learn oral English is not to do exercises, recite or read grammar books, but to read the text aloud repeatedly. The purpose of this practice is to cultivate one's sense of language. Only with a sense of language can one write correct answers unconsciously when doing exercises. Moreover, when you read dozens of texts skillfully, many commonly used sentences will blurt out unconsciously, and the so-called "thinking stage in a foreign language" will come quietly.
Tips for English learning-"Keep an eye on" a set of textbooks
Nowadays, there are so many materials to learn English in the market, which gives you more choices, but if you don't handle them well, it will also bring bad consequences-if you use this textbook today and change it to another one tomorrow, your learning will lose its systematicness. The correct way is to select a set of teaching materials, take it as the main part, and the rest materials are used as supplements.
At present, many examination materials on the market take "real questions" as their selling point, and many candidates pin their hopes on doing "real questions", thinking that they can pass the exam in this way. In fact, many formal exams are based on a wide range of materials, and after strict difficulty argumentation, the used materials can never be used twice.
In the face of such an exam, it is obviously a temporary solution but not a permanent solution to prepare for the exam. Doing the exam can only help candidates understand the questions ... For candidates, the improvement of language ability is the key.
Don't change schools frequently. Don't blindly worship foreign language colleges. These colleges do have long history and experienced teachers, but sometimes they have limitations. Obsolete textbooks, outdated concepts and outdated methods are their common faults and fatal shortcomings.
There is no "crash" in learning English. There is no shortcut to learning English well, only the method is good or bad.
For example, it is not a good idea to memorize English words with your head down. A good way is to read aloud, train the pronunciation organs and ears repeatedly, and engrave the sound in your mind. This can not only improve listening, but also improve oral pronunciation, and remember words. Dictation only trains the eyes and hands, but they can't listen and speak for you. This is the difference between a good school and an ordinary school. A good school can improve its students in the shortest time through the training of learning methods, but it still requires the students' efforts and efforts. Don't expect high tuition fees to return significant learning results. Paying high tuition fees doesn't mean not to study.
Don't go to the hospital when you are in urgent need of English. No matter whether the school learning method suits you or not, try it first, and then change it when you feel inappropriate. This is especially bad for children-if English learning can't go on, stopping or changing classes will not only make children's interest in learning English disappear, but also, because of the different levels of teachers, children learn "poor English", which is more difficult to correct in the future. Therefore, after parents have chosen and decided on reliable teaching ideas, methods and teachers, they should not switch them around easily, which will only bring counterproductive results to their children's foreign language learning.
English learning tips-find a study partner
You need to have greater motivation to learn English. Every time you sit down to study, whether at home or in the language center, you need short-term motivation to concentrate on reading and listening. But it needs long-term motivation to ensure that such things are done often every day-this is the most difficult. So many people start learning English, and soon give up after a while-we learn English not through a continuous improvement process, but through a series of sudden improvements and seemingly unchanged stages, which is the so-called "plateau effect". During several months of study, you may not notice the great improvement of English. At these times, learners are most likely to lose their long-term motivation and give up learning.
A good way to avoid the "plateau effect" is to try not to study alone. If you can't study in the language center, at least you should try to find a "study partner" so that you can encourage and support each other. Of course, it would be better if you could study in a good language center.
Come on, I wish you success. Nothing is difficult in the world, if you put your mind to it! ^^
