How did Luo Yonghao learn English
Like everyone else, I am lazy, easy to give up, unable to persist and have no perseverance. Everyone is like this, you don't have to feel inferior, because we are genetically designed to be like this. If we want to make continuous progress in life and maintain a beautiful and exciting state, it is best to listen to an inspirational lecture on life with boiling blood every three days.
I'm sure you've had this experience.
When I was young, I might have listened to an inspiring lecture on life. After listening to it, I couldn't sleep and decided to recite words overnight.
I took out a Longman dictionary or Webster's dictionary and began to recite it. My eyes shone like two bells. When friends in the same dormitory ask you to play mahjong, you look at them with contempt and say, Vulgar. ? Go on reciting words. I only slept for three hours at night, and I was particularly excited the next day, and I was angry.
how long can this beautiful and progressive state last? Usually two or three days. On the third day, when you look at this dictionary, you groan in your heart and wonder how it is you again! There is a saying called three-minute fever, which is the case. In fact, everyone is like this. If we want to make continuous progress in life and maintain this beautiful and exciting state, it is best to listen to an inspirational lecture on life with boiling blood every three days. But think about it, how is it possible? Therefore, the next best thing to achieve similar results is to read some so-called inspirational and successful books.
when I was young, there were many such books. Carnegie, who moved my cheese, some bad habits of efficient people, the greatest salesman and so on. I have despised these things since I was a child. Because I know that these things have no thoughts and no nutrition. There are hundreds of millions of books on success all over the world, which in the final analysis is a sentence: as long as you work hard, you can succeed.
Although you don't read these books at ordinary times, you should understand that when you make an arduous and phased plan, it is absolutely the best spiritual opium to have so many books beside your bed. When can't you hold on? Just pick it up and turn it over, just like giving you a shot of stimulant and holding on for three days.
I went to the second-hand book stall in Haidian Book City to buy the cheapest kind of broken books. In China Bookstore, there are two kinds of old books: one is 2 cents, the other is 3 cents, and the other is by the weight. I carefully selected there, went there for three times, bought a bunch of them, piled them at the door as war preparation food, and then began the hard review work.
It's almost what I thought. It was ok for the first time and lasted for 4 days. After that, it will all give up in three days.
The reason why I insisted on 4 days for the first time was just that the weather was bad and it rained every day, so I closed the door to study. Anyway, I didn't want to go out when it rained, so it was good to recite words and do problems at home. On the morning of the fifth day, it cleared up, with blue sky and white clouds. My house is on the sixth floor, and the houses nearby are very low. I look in the direction of the city and feel the world of mortals rolling in the distance. Hearing voices in my ears, as if an evil voice said: Young man, come in and play. What are you doing in the suburbs? Great youth, right? ? I thought, yes, so I took out my mobile phone and called my friends in the city, and then they said, come out quickly and don't say anything. We agreed where to eat first in the evening, and then we sang songs and pinched our feet. It was very lively.
I cleaned up and got ready to go out. When I walked to the door, I saw those books covered with dust. I bought them for five days and didn't touch them once, so I thought I should give them a chance.
Then I picked up a book at random, and within three pages, a sentence struck me like lightning. This is a sentence that Li Ao said when he was young: he is not afraid of suffering and suffers for half his life; Fear of suffering, suffering for life.
when I saw that sentence, I thought how well it was said. You see, I was a man in my twenties and accomplished nothing. Now I have just made a phased life plan, and I am ready to give up after a few days. At this juncture, there was a man in Taiwan Province who said such a sentence. How could I see it by mistake?
This magical feeling is a bit like when you are lovelorn. When you hear any love song on the street, you think that the lyrics are for you.
I was so ashamed and crying, kneeling on the ground, hitting the wall, rolling and twitching, and all my tears and cold sweat came out. Finally, I rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower. Then I slapped myself a dozen times and went back to the computer to calm down. I memorized the words first, and then I did the questions. I was sick of memorizing the words, and I was sick of memorizing the words. So it was easy for another day, and on the second and third days, I hesitated, but I stopped.
on the fourth day, it was exactly the same, and I wanted to give up again, so what did you think I was doing? Great youth is wasting here, so I want to give up.
I went to the door and saw those books. I thought I should give them another chance, so I picked up another one.
attention! At this time, there is a technical problem. If you take the last one again and turn to that sentence, Not afraid of suffering, suffering for half a life; Afraid of suffering, suffering for life? Does it work? It won't work. Maybe when you look at your heart, you will scold your mother, saying that I was taken in by this sentence, and I suffered three more days of sin! Otherwise, I would have gone to the world of mortals! Therefore, the lessons of history tell us: never touch that book again. Why did I buy a bunch at that time? That's why, otherwise one book would be enough.
I picked up another book, flipped through it casually, and turned over less than three pages. Another warning said: There is only one kind of failure, and that is to give up halfway.
I thought to myself, wow, what a good speech! Then I cried and rolled around, but I couldn't do it again. I rushed to the bathroom to take a cold bath. This time, it's very extreme to even cut off the shiny clothes, leaving only some autumn clothes and trousers, so I can't go out to meet people.
it's no exaggeration to give up once every three days on average.
once or twice in the middle, my friends couldn't bear it. They killed me in the suburbs and carried me out to roll the world of mortals. But basically, relying on that pile of books, I made it to the end. In fact, when I left the house, there were only two or three books left untouched in the pile, and I read all the others. In other words, it is very important to master the quantity. If you are two or three copies short, you may have lost all your efforts.
Luo Yonghao's methods of learning English
Moderator: I want to know, you have so many titles, and you used to be a famous English teacher. What do you think is your primary identity?
Luo Yonghao: There is no special title. Just call me Lao Luo.
Luo Yonghao: I'm not a teacher now. The founder of the website, it may be strange to mention online celebrities. This is also something that can't be helped. I am an innocent man.
Moderator: Innocent Lao Luo, can you tell me about your journey and how you chose to join the English industry?
Luo Yonghao: If you don't mind, let's get into a normal conversation. Just pretend they're not here, just pretend that we're talking like this in the coffee shop, and just say what you usually say to your friends. I'm just making a suggestion. I'm nervous because of you.
host: I am more nervous when you are in front of me. Let's just tell your story.
Luo Yonghao: ok, I hope you don't mind. Just writing novels, right?
Moderator: Let's start with the notes.
Luo Yonghao: As long as I can remember, I found that I was a Korean, and then I was born in China. When I was young, I suffered more ideologically than other children. It is often asked by some stupid elders about some ethnic issues. For example, when I was young, when I saw a football match, I was often asked by my elders whether you wanted the China team to win or the Korean team to win. Then I talked with their preferences when I was very young. Because even if I know exactly which nationality they are, I know what kind of answer they are. For example, when the elders of the Korean nationality asked me, I said I hoped the Korean nationality would win. If the elders of the Han nationality ask me, I will say that I hope the Han nationality will win.
So I suffered a lot for this when I was a child. Of course, when I grew up, I said when I went to teach in New Oriental that I was an internationalist. They will think that my concept is more advanced. But in fact, I had this idea when I was fifteen or sixteen. But I think I am blessed in this respect. Because of this special identity and national identity, I was forced to consider this issue since I was a child. Therefore, when others don't need to talk about these problems and grow up in a daze, I want to understand a lot of things. So when I was a child, I was mentally tortured, but it was a very lucky thing for me.
Generally speaking, children who grow up in bilingual areas are lucky. Because our language is not as rich as our feelings. If you feel that you can't express your feelings in one language, but if you know twenty languages, you will express them in one of them.
host: how do you think of developing your second language?
Luo Yonghao: I never thought about eating by language. It was a mistake to come to New Oriental later. Of course, I also said when I was very young that I wanted to be a scientist when I grew up.
host: what are you going to eat on?
Luo Yonghao: When I was young, I thought I could be a writer. I have written many poems and published them in journals. Actually, I wrote more novels and essays at that time. But when I arrived in New Oriental, I emphasized that I was a poet, but I did write a lot of poems. Of course, this is also a way to know which effect is better when you tell students, as long as you don't lie. If you say that you write novels, vegetable sellers also write novels, but if I say that I am a poet, I feel different.
I wrote to my girlfriends who abandoned me when I was very young. I said I hope that in the future, people who abandoned me will always believe that their choices are always correct. In fact, this is a great concept of love.
So when I grow up, I think it's strange that some parents object to puppy love. I don't think I want to fall in love at the age of 3. People think it's wild. Don. This is the same feeling as meeting a girl who likes her and wants to fall in love with her at the age of twelve. Of course, the body has not yet developed and other reasons, I think I will not care about my child in the future.
host: your child is very lucky.
Luo Yonghao: When I came, I saw some children saying they didn't like English. I think if I am not the owner of an English training school, I don't like it if I don't like it. But I am the boss of English training, so I can't say that, and my investors will be unhappy. I was a little anxious when I saw this question before I came. Personally, I don't think children should be forced to do things they don't like. As the owner of an English school, I don't recommend him to come to me. If he wants me to provide services, he can come to me.
host: are you still planning to go to college?
Luo Yonghao: I won't go to college. I'll spare the university. Including my boss, including Yu Minhong. So I stopped working, so I started my own company.
host: what happened to you after you dropped out of school?
Luo Yonghao: Very happy. Just wrote a lot of things. Many people think that I like to go out and call friends. In fact, I am a very tolerant person. I can read books or listen to songs by moonlight, so I stayed very happy at that time. But after two or three years, I slowly found that what I wrote was different from what I thought.
host: what did you mean when you were young?
Luo Yonghao: It's time to drop out of school. I felt impulsive when I spread the manuscript in the morning, but later I wrote it for a long time and found that it was not the case. Because the local publications are all bad, you feel good. But if you vote for Zhongshan magazine and Flower City, you will find that it is not the case. He always rejects your manuscript. Then I gradually realized that it might not be like that. I was also a little flustered. Of course I didn't dare to tell my parents that they were bent on making me a writer.
My parents gave me money to buy books, so I thought I'd try to do something like work to earn money. So I opened a mutton kebab shop, which is actually quite happy. However, it has been open for more than a month, and it is guaranteed every day. It's because I eat a lot myself, and my friends come over to eat. Because it was very poor at that time, it was a luxury for everyone to eat a restaurant. Some of my friends came to join me when I opened the shop, so they sat and chatted with me.
Moderator: While chatting, we eat mutton kebabs.
Luo Yonghao: Yes. I'm honest. I said I have nothing to do. Have some mutton kebabs. They're right. Anyway, I will sell two-thirds and eat one-third every day. By the end of the month, it was basically flat. Then I'm thin-skinned, so don't come. It's no good. I think for myself, forget it. This is my first failure case on my own way to start a business.
Moderator: Is this the first venture?
Luo Yonghao: No. I sold used books before. Then go to the battlefield to sift the sand. I sifted out the sand from the mixture of sand and stones by the river, and then bought the sand we sifted out at the construction site, earning about five yuan a day. I also did that for a month and lost more than ten kilograms of meat. I often wake up at night because I am too tired. I feel that my income is too low and I don't insist. Actually, I want to earn some money and buy some things, but I don't think that income is enough to buy those things. Later, forget it.
I also did some things that were normal in those days, such as smuggling cars. In a certain period, the management of those places on the border was chaotic, and the local government did not realize the harm and serious consequences of this incident, so they tried to liberalize the scale while trying the central policy. The whole people are smuggling cars, because everyone around them is smuggling cars. This happened in the Yanbian area where I grew up. The government turned a blind eye. Of course, no one pursued it. Now that I say it, the prosecution period has passed.
Moderator: You once said that a tough life needs no explanation? Can you give me a suggestion? Can the tough Lao Luo give me a suggestion on learning English?
Luo Yonghao: Don't believe this. I will give you an English level in a few days, just like breast augmentation. Have you ever seen friends around you achieve success with cheats? If you can find one, I'll take it from you. There isn't. So don't expect any secrets. The main orientation and direction of our school's publicity in the future is that we are the only English training school in China with no secrets.
We can only be silly here to provide you with English training. Including teachers who have been in New Oriental, there are secrets in New Oriental, but there are no secrets here. Word learning, I think, is learned by rote, and there is no skill. Just like the radical of our China. So you have mastered some root affixes, and you can turn to two or three times your vocabulary. this
