深諳5大技巧：任何語言學習事半功倍！
1. Throw yourself in at the deep end
“深”臨其境
Many people will look you in the eye and tell you with utter conviction that the only way to learn is to move to the country of your target language. This isn’t strictly true, but it obviously makes immersion more likely. You still have to seek out opportunities for the lengthy and laborious conversations. Define your new environment early on and in the language you want to learn.
很多人會直盯着你的眼睛，堅定地告訴你學習語言的唯一方法就是搬到你的目的語言國家那去住。雖然嚴格意義上講這並不是正確的，但是這明顯增加融入式學習的可能性。但你仍需找機會進行有一定長度，並對你來說比較費力的對話。儘早定義你想要學習的語言的新環境。
2. Speaking with natives for one hour is more useful than studying for weeks at school
跟說英語母語的人交談一小時，比自己在學校悶頭學習幾個禮拜來的更有效
When you’re just starting out, equip yourself with questions. As you stumble through your first exchanges, you may sometimes perceive yourself as an eye-rollingly tedious conversation partner. Remember that people love to talk about themselves. Expand the range of questions you ask when you meet people and prepare your own answers.
開始學習語言時，帶着問題學習。在第一次跟別人交談時，你有時可能會覺得自己眼睛一直在打轉，是個很無聊的聊天對象。要記住人們喜歡談論自己。跟別人聊天時拓寬問題的範圍，並準備好自己的答案。
3. Blur the lines between your free time and your learning time
將空閒時間和學習融合
There’s a great Eddie Izzard sketch where he pokes fun at the morose inactivity of British film when compared with the bombastic sensationalism of Hollywood. Different countries tell stories differently, and they often have a whole cast of acting royalty that is barely known beyond their borders.
當艾迪·伊扎德在將英國電影與譁衆取寵的好萊塢電影做比較時，他那戲謔英國電影沉悶無聊的段子還是很經典的。國家不同，描述事情的方式也不同，而且通常他們有自己一整套的標準規範，其他國家的人是不知道的。
el as much as you possibly can
世界那麼大，一定要多出去看看
If you travel, you will enjoy the enormous utility of languages first-hand. Your languages will facilitate your movements, ensure a richer diversity of more authentic experiences, and may well even reduce the cost of your trip.
如果你出去旅行，那你就會很頻繁地直接用到各種語言。語言會讓你的旅行更便捷，保證親身體驗的多樣性，還可能會減少旅程的花費哦。
5. Take control of your own class
我的課堂我做主
How would you like to learn? How do you think you learn best? Do you know the answers to these questions? Have you ever asked yourself these questions? Remember that the most important question is how you like to learn, not how you learn best. If you enjoy the learning process, you’ll stick to it, and even if it takes a little longer, who cares? You’re enjoying it, after all. So relocate your class to a park, listen to music in your new language while walking to work, or best of all, meet up with a friend who’s a native speaker or also learning, and immerse yourself in the simple pleasures of coffee and conversation, just like the protagonists of our video.
你想怎樣學習呢？你認爲自己怎樣學習效果最好呢？你知道這些問題的答案麼？你是否問過自己這些問題呢？一定要記着，最重要的問題是你想怎樣學習，而非你怎樣學得最好。如果你很享受學習的過程，堅持下去了，即使要很長一段時間，誰又會在乎這些呢？畢竟，你樂在其中。所以把教室搬到公園裏去吧，走路上班時聽着這門新語言的歌，或者最好是跟母語是你新學的這門語言、或也在學這門語言的朋友見見面啥的，將自己置身於咖啡和交流所帶來的愉悅之中，就像視頻裏的主角那樣。
