前方高能，这是一个系统的英语学习方法，可能需要花你十分钟去阅读，但是会拯救你十年的外语口语。

前面是中文版，后面有英文版。

最重要的英语技能是什么？您必须具备什么技能才能很好地沟通？

显然是Fluency。什么是流利度？流利度是说话和理解的能力，快速轻松地无需翻译。流利意味着您可以轻松与本地人交谈，说话者很容易理解您，您也很容易理解他们。实际上，流利度是最重要的英语目标。

研究很明确只有一种方法可以获得流利度。阅读文字不会使您流利，你去英语学校不会流利，你学语法规则不会使您流利。

听力是关键，要使英语流利，您必须进行很多可以理解的重复听力。那就是唯一的办法。要成为一名讲英语的人，您必须用耳朵，而不是用眼睛来学习英语。

换句话说，您必须听。您的耳朵是出色讲话的关键。

哪种聆听最好？好吧，它必须是可以理解的并且必须是重复的。两者都很重要——可理解且可重复。

如果您听不懂，您将一无所获。你不会改善。这就是为什么听英语电视对您没有帮助。您大部分都不了解。太难了，太快了。

如果您不了解，您将不会有所改善。因此，最好的聆听材料是——简单。是的，您应该主要听简单的英语。大多数学生听的英语太难了。

他们不够了解，因此学习缓慢。听简单的英语，您的说话速度会更快！

理解只是其中一半，仅仅了解还不够。您还必须重复很多次。如果您只听到一个新词一次，您很快就会忘记它。如果您听到5次，您可能仍会忘记它！您必须多次听到新单词和新语法，然后才能脱口而出。

需要多少次？大多数人必须听到一个新单词30次才能永远记住它。要知道一个单词并脱口而出，您可能需要听50-100次！

这就是为什么我告诉我的学生多次听我所有课程的原因。我告诉他们听每天都有迷你小故事，Vocab课程，观点故事和音频文章。我记建议他们每节课共听30次。

因此，两个最重要的要点是：

听简单的英语，听很多遍。

1.练习“精听”

“精听”是指听同一主题的许多事情。这种方法更高效比尝试聆听许多不同类型的事物更有效。

听相似事物的学生学习比听不同事物的学生更快，说得更好。

例如，您可以选择一位发言人并从他那里找到很多东西。听他所有的有声读物和演讲。之所以强大，是因为所有说话者都有喜欢的词汇

和语法。他们自然会重复很多次，您会自动获得大量的词汇重复。您学习得更快，更深入！

另一个示例是选择一个要关注的主题。例如，您可以阅读一本简单的书，同一个有声读物，听有关这本书的播客，然后看它有关的电影。

我在旧金山的课堂上做到了这一点。我们读了“查理和巧克力工厂”。然后我们听了有声书。然后我们看了（听）了电影。然后我们听了电影中演员的观点。我的学生在短时间内学到了很多词汇，口语进步很快。

2.划分您的听力时间

哪个更好：听两个小时不休息，还是在分段时间好？最好是分段时间。

通过全天分配时间，您会记住更多并学得更快。所以好多人早上听30分钟，然后在汽车或火车上听30分钟，然后再来30分钟下班回家，然后睡30分钟。实际上，这是我给我的学生们建议的确切时间表。

3.使用iPod或者手机

您可以将一个大型的侦听库放在一个库中。您可以在步行，购物，开车，火车，烹饪，.......

此外，您可以在互联网上找到很多英语听。您可以找到课程，故事，播客，电视节目，访谈和音频图书。只需下载音频，将其放在手机上即可。并在任何地方学习英语！

4.听电影

电影非常适合学习英语，但您必须正确使用它们。不要看很多不同的英文电影。您不会理解它，因此不会学到任何东西。

每周仅观看一个场景或片段（可能需要2-3分钟）。请遵循以下方法：

a）首先，用您的语言的字幕观看场景，了解剧情。

b）其次，用英文字幕观看现场。遇到不会的单词暂停，使用字典查找，并把整句台词在笔记本中写下，句子更能唤起你对它的记忆。

c）用英文字幕听几次，不要暂停。

d）不看字幕重复听。

e）每天重复（a-d）至少一周。

在第二周，转到下一个场景/片段，然后再次重复。您需要很长时间才能完成电影。但是可以立竿见影地提高听和说的速度。这个方法功能强大，请使用它！

5.同时阅读和聆听

听力和阅读功能非常强大。当您听东西时，也请阅读。这个会提高您的发音。边听边阅读还可以帮助您理解难度更大的材料。

完成几次后，收起文字，然后聆听。你会了解很多更多，您的听力将更快地改善。

始终尝试查找同时有音频和文本的学习材料。

首先，您可以阅读我的博客并在以下位置收听我的播客：

另一个好主意是同时获得一本书及其有声读物（例如，上面的“查理和巧克力工厂”）。

6个月的英语口语能力遵循上述建议（以及我的电子邮件课程中的7条规则），您的口语会说的很好。

我已经教了十多年。遵循这些方法的每个学生都会成功。总是！

轻松英语方法是说出一口流利英语的关键。这是流利的关键。

您只需要6个月至6个月，就可以轻松与以英语为母语的人说话。

6个月您会自然而然地说话。 6个月后，您会说英语放松。

您尝试了旧方法。您尝试过教科书。您尝试过学校。您尝试过语法学习。

现在该尝试一些新东西了！

祝好运。祝您英语学习成功！

What is the most important English skill?

What skill must you have to communicate well?

Obviously, number 1 is Fluency. What is fluency?

Fluency is the ability to speak (and understand)

English quickly and easily... WITHOUT translation.

Fluency means you can talk easily with native speakers-- they easily understand you, and you easily understand them.

In fact, you speak and understand instantly.

Fluency is your most important English goal.

The research is clear-- there is only ONE way to get fluency.

You do not get fluency by reading text-

books. You do not get fluency by going to English schools. You do not get fluency by studying grammar rules.

Listening Is The Key To get English fluency, you must have a lot of understandable repetitive listening.

That is the ONLY way. To be a FANTASTIC English speaker, you must learn English with your ears, not with your eyes.

In other words, you must listen. Your ears are the key to excellent speaking.

What kind of listening is best? Well, it must be understandable and must be repetitive.

Both of those words are important-- Understandable and Repetitive.

If you don't understand, you learn nothing. You will not improve. That's why listening to English TV does not help you.

You don't understand most of it. It is too difficult. It is too fast.

It's obvious right? If you do not understand, you will not improve.

So, the best listening material is EASY. That’s right, you should listen mostly to easy English.

Most students listen to English that is much too difficult. They don’t understand enough, and so they learn slowly.

Listen to easier English, and your speaking will improve faster!

Understanding is Only Half The Formula.Understanding is not enough.

You must also have a lot of repetition. If you hear a new word only once, you will soon forget it. If you hear it 5 times, you will still probably forget it!

You must hear new words and new grammar many times before you will understand them instantly.

How many times is necessary? Most people must hear a new word 30 times to remember it forever.

To know a word and instantly understand it, you probably need to hear it 50-100 times!

That's why I tell my students to listen to all of my lessons many times. I tell them to listen to the Mini-Stories, the Vocab Lessons, The Point-of-View Stories, and the Audio articles everyday.

I recommend that they listen to each lesson a total of 30 times (for example, 2 times a day for two weeks).

So, the two most important points are: listen to easier English and listen to each thing many times.

Suggestions For Powerful Listening and Excellent Speaking

1. Practice “Narrow Listening”

“Narrow listening” means listening to many things about the same topic. This method is more powerful than trying to listen to many different kinds of things.

Students who listen to similar things learn faster and speak better than students who listen to different kinds of things.

For example, you can choose one speaker and find many things by him. Listen to all of his podcasts, audio books, and speeches.

This is powerful because all speakers have favorite vocabulary and grammar.

They naturally repeat these many times.

By listening to many things by the same

person, you automatically get a lot of vocabulary repetition. You learn faster and deeper!

Another example is to choose one topic to focus on.

For example, you could read an easy book, listen to the same audio book, listen to a podcast about the book, and watch the movie.

I did this with my class in San Francisco. We read “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. Then we

listened to the audio book. Then we watched (and listened to) the movie. Then we listened to interviews with actors in the movie.

My students learned a lot of vocabulary in a short time, and their speaking improved very quickly.

2. Divide Your Listening Time

Which is better: to listen for two hours without a break, or to divide that time during the day?

Well, dividing your listening time is best.

By dividing your time throughout the day, you remember more and learn faster.

So its much better to listen 30 minutes in the morning, then 30 minutes in the car or train, then 30 minutes coming

home from work, then 30 minutes before sleep.

In fact, this is the exact schedule I recommend to my students!

3. Use an iPod or your cellphone

Cellphones are fantastic. You can put a big listening library on one. Then you can carry your English lessons everywhere.

You can learn English while walking, while shopping, in the car, in a train, while cooking.......

With an iPod or cellphone，you can find a lot of Englishlistening on the internet. You can find lessons, stories, podcasts, TV shows, interviews, and audiobooks.

Simply download the audio, put it on your cellphones.. and learn English anywhere!

4. Listen To Movies

Movies are great for learning English，BUT you must use them correctly. Don’t watch all of an English movie. You will not understand it, and therefore you will not learn anything.

Only watch one scene or segment per week (maybe 2-3 minutes). Follow this method:

a) First, watch the scene with subtitles in your language. This will help you understand the general meaning.

b) Second, watch the scene with English subtitles. Pause. Use a dictionary to find new words you don’t understand. Write the new sentences in a notebook.

c) Listen to the scene a few times, with English subtitles. Do not pause.

d) Listen to the scene a few times, without subtitles.

e) Repeat a-d) everyday for one week.

On the second week, go to the next scene/segment and repeat again.

It will take you a long time to

finish a movie. That’s OK, because you will improve your listening and speaking VERY FAST.

This method is powerful-- use it!

5. Read and Listen at the Same Time

Listening and Reading together are very powerful. While you listen to something, also read it. This will improve your pronunciation.

Reading while listening also helps you understand more difficult material. Read and listen to learn faster.

After you do this a few times, put away the text and just listen. You will understand a lot more and you will improve faster. Always try to find both audio and text materials.

To start, you can read my blog and listen to my podcast at:

Another great idea is to get both a book and its audio book (ie. the above example of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”).

6 Months To Excellent English Speaking

Follow the above suggestions (and the 7 Rules in my email course) and you will speak excellent English.

I have been teaching over 10 years. Every student who follows these methods succeeds. Always!

The Effortless English method is the key to speaking excellent English. It is the key to fluency.

You only need 6 months-- 6 months and you will speak easily to native speakers. 6 months and you will speak quickly and naturally. 6 months and you feel relaxed when you speak English.

You have tried the old ways. You tried textbooks. You tried schools. You tried grammar study.

It is time to try something new!

Good luck. I wish you success with your English learning!
