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.
$ t& q; f A5 p8 t% n; V昨天我看了一個(gè)TED演講,來(lái)自新西蘭的語(yǔ)言學(xué)家Chris Lonsdale講了語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的方法。在評(píng)估了所有語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的研究之后,他總結(jié)出了5個(gè)原則、7個(gè)行動(dòng)。他相信只要遵從這5個(gè)原則、踐行這7個(gè)行動(dòng),任何人都能在6個(gè)月內(nèi)學(xué)會(huì)一種外語(yǔ)。

The five principles are:
' B* v: q4 [6 I' E7 v5個(gè)原則:8 B! R0 v3 H `- C5 P' B
1. Focus on language content that is relevant to you.
& Q2 P) v# q) @8 g專注和你日常相關(guān)的語(yǔ)言內(nèi)容。
Y# `* }* N8 R9 c8 j2. Use your language as a tool to communicate from day 1.- c3 C6 {' ], s+ |! P4 ]0 ^* h+ |% _7 u
從學(xué)習(xí)這門語(yǔ)言的第一天開始,就把它當(dāng)做你的交流方式。
7 |+ v) I; m- g0 M& t- {; E3. When you understand the message you will acquire the language unconsciously.7 S. s6 }# M% Z" e; P
當(dāng)你明白含義之后,你會(huì)慢慢不知不覺地習(xí)得這門語(yǔ)言。
- g3 j% I5 H1 y4. Language is not about accumulating a lot of knowledge but is rather a type of physiological training.* J" V/ W0 s, {8 S4 ?0 L' P
語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)不是大量知識(shí)的積累,而更像是一種生理訓(xùn)練。& r, {; H% P( @' c
5. 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.+ V* Y6 o2 D; R6 _/ ?8 Q* O
心理狀態(tài)和生理狀態(tài)都很重要:你需要愉快、放松,最重要的是對(duì)于模棱兩可要有一定容忍性。對(duì)于細(xì)枝末節(jié)不要過(guò)于糾結(jié),因?yàn)槟菚?huì)把你逼瘋的。7 B! C `8 g& t( q! o% y! A

The seven actions are:
, l& j: @ P% J7個(gè)行動(dòng):2 O% M/ c3 _) N
1. Listen a lot – it doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Listen to rhythms and patterns.
( {6 F3 N/ y8 A% K9 x多聽——理解與否不重要,盡管去聽吧!去聽聽語(yǔ)言節(jié)奏和說(shuō)話模式。
+ }7 t, s- n! e" a5 ^& X2. Focus on getting the meaning first, before the words. Body language and facial expressions can help.
; J( f* j0 A* e先專注理解整體意思,再弄清單詞含義。身體語(yǔ)言和面部表情會(huì)有所幫助。: B$ q% T+ u. I; U4 N5 T
3. Start mixing, get creative, and use what you’re learning2 Q4 i3 j; U' X. L* u, R# w! N
開始混合,創(chuàng)造話語(yǔ)并使用你所學(xué)到的一切。
" V: M }/ @ N% E4. Focus on the core – use the most commonly-use the words, and use the language to learn more
0 g2 b$ A2 z, x# L, Z/ C把注意力集中在核心部分——使用高頻詞匯,利用你已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)的東西學(xué)到更多。" {" _- P& w* H, z
5. 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 {% }; t/ d+ e2 M# ^
找個(gè)語(yǔ)伴——能流利講這門語(yǔ)言的人,或者能盡可能理解你說(shuō)什么的人。注意,語(yǔ)伴不會(huì)糾正你的錯(cuò)誤,但能夠用正確的語(yǔ)言、你明白的語(yǔ)言來(lái)對(duì)你的表現(xiàn)做出反饋。& Z( Z, G- S: u+ v$ R. ~
6. Copy the face – watch native speakers and observe their face, and particular their mouth moves when they’re speaking.* }/ F; W! |, |& w/ \$ K
模仿面部表情——有些人的母語(yǔ)正是你要學(xué)習(xí)的新語(yǔ)言,你要觀看他們講話,觀察他們的面部表情、尤其是講話時(shí)的嘴型。
4 k. F7 `2 J9 x- V( ?7. “Direct connect” to the target language – find ways to connect words directly with images and other internal representations.
- t9 r7 K; I+ \. ]/ e6 A在大腦和目的語(yǔ)之間建立“直接聯(lián)系”——想辦法讓語(yǔ)言和大腦中的圖像或其他內(nèi)部表象產(chǎn)生直接聯(lián)系。 |
