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.
0 U6 u" `, I2 j3 o1 {* Q昨天我看了一个TED演讲，来自新西兰的语言学家Chris Lonsdale讲了语言学习的方法。在评估了所有语言学习的研究之后，他总结出了5个原则、7个行动。他相信只要遵从这5个原则、践行这7个行动，任何人都能在6个月内学会一种外语。
- m) {$ _# x2 @7 G! z7 a8 {9 p; d4 M* C3 `, G
The five principles are:& P4 L( A, i+ x, j% K4 L
5个原则：" o) F$ w( {1 N: U
1. Focus on language content that is relevant to you.5 |8 N9 {$ D' }, C4 V. f2 C
专注和你日常相关的语言内容。
3 r0 c* G2 J% H6 a2. Use your language as a tool to communicate from day 1./ u+ I$ g. _! F. V
从学习这门语言的第一天开始，就把它当做你的交流方式。
0 C& I* K- W2 s1 j8 u" n3. When you understand the message you will acquire the language unconsciously.6 l1 [+ o+ a% B. z7 B* V9 x- g
当你明白含义之后，你会慢慢不知不觉地习得这门语言。/ Q. }- O0 L$ b3 {
4. Language is not about accumulating a lot of knowledge but is rather a type of physiological training.4 C, r; H6 q) g! g0 @- ^
语言学习不是大量知识的积累，而更像是一种生理训练。5 L0 F U$ a6 u" [
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.4 p+ A# _( K- {& Q
心理状态和生理状态都很重要：你需要愉快、放松，最重要的是对于模棱两可要有一定容忍性。对于细枝末节不要过于纠结，因为那会把你逼疯的。

- g6 O" {% Z( y# `7 OThe seven actions are:( Q2 h0 [7 s, P' [, o: Q Z
7个行动：( V- A& k T9 f, n# }1 K: ^: I
1. Listen a lot – it doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Listen to rhythms and patterns./ j* I' {1 V' Z; G& n6 V
多听——理解与否不重要，尽管去听吧！去听听语言节奏和说话模式。/ n0 l6 D- A. {# e) h* x/ e
2. Focus on getting the meaning first, before the words. Body language and facial expressions can help.
0 `$ }2 \" E+ s先专注理解整体意思，再弄清单词含义。身体语言和面部表情会有所帮助。
( Y. R9 N) R! x2 R; E3. Start mixing, get creative, and use what you’re learning
9 n( r6 C( U& Z0 `8 n ~0 l开始混合，创造话语并使用你所学到的一切。# ^# w& V6 m2 `7 C7 C% B
4. Focus on the core – use the most commonly-use the words, and use the language to learn more& X2 J* B& K. ?1 |( m7 ]+ |( [
把注意力集中在核心部分——使用高频词汇，利用你已经学会的东西学到更多。" B/ i. a. e$ X/ }2 y! A; L/ f
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.. w8 @1 X+ g! N5 L6 Q3 N5 ^
找个语伴——能流利讲这门语言的人，或者能尽可能理解你说什么的人。注意，语伴不会纠正你的错误，但能够用正确的语言、你明白的语言来对你的表现做出反馈。
# `; K* D, B3 E/ o+ h6 ^6. Copy the face – watch native speakers and observe their face, and particular their mouth moves when they’re speaking.- w3 U6 i6 a' W' ]$ G
模仿面部表情——有些人的母语正是你要学习的新语言，你要观看他们讲话，观察他们的面部表情、尤其是讲话时的嘴型。
1 b" }$ ]! c& F3 d7. “Direct connect” to the target language – find ways to connect words directly with images and other internal representations.* `, F- ]) e9 w& `* g
在大脑和目的语之间建立“直接联系”——想办法让语言和大脑中的图像或其他内部表象产生直接联系。 |
