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 \2 F! E* z/ g' [& c' y8 I
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。
, w+ E* }1 x0 J3 T0 P1 `- q4 F1 u) y" F6 \, N, v
The five principles are:
* x" T& I' \* `* m, q5个原则：
+ n* |6 ~+ V& G* m+ \1. Focus on language content that is relevant to you.$ l$ ^8 A. u u4 G
专注和你日常相关的语言内容。) e9 K8 T9 H) z$ a0 L
2. Use your language as a tool to communicate from day 1.
% w1 P/ x( k( e4 S" X( ^' T6 h从学习这门语言的第一天开始，就把它当做你的交流方式。
9 { e; h8 F( I% {3. When you understand the message you will acquire the language unconsciously.
; ]8 k) _: I3 E l& h当你明白含义之后，你会慢慢不知不觉地习得这门语言。' }* J8 K- O( w5 }9 D, C
4. Language is not about accumulating a lot of knowledge but is rather a type of physiological training.
5 n% v0 i3 h* v. y" q语言学习不是大量知识的积累，而更像是一种生理训练。7 v9 u. C* J% F+ l
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.; o& f$ E4 c4 @0 @) v# m. Y9 t) B
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。" g% E: m" }* K3 |3 L7 I% u
1 R1 n5 w+ z J( A
The seven actions are:% n+ p$ ^. P$ j! x) w! f
7个行动：
6 F+ u/ Z0 I" {8 ~1. Listen a lot – it doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Listen to rhythms and patterns.' V1 R+ L6 G5 K8 M8 Q3 d
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。
8 Z' Z8 }8 z6 u* C2. Focus on getting the meaning first, before the words. Body language and facial expressions can help.
9 a1 C7 G. a% h1 }& P% a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。
& w9 w$ F% M# U3. Start mixing, get creative, and use what you’re learning: w, x' k+ [ c! d/ Y
开始混合，创造话语并使用你所学到的一切。( \9 k1 C9 `) z* j/ q: a1 g
4. Focus on the core – use the most commonly-use the words, and use the language to learn more
4 N! \2 Y8 C6 n" m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。
0 ?- X0 Q! L1 V1 W# }* E! Q5. 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.0 Z. T4 K0 N1 W' _. m/ m
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。4 c+ G6 q6 o/ S. J M8 g2 h7 `
6. Copy the face – watch native speakers and observe their face, and particular their mouth moves when they’re speaking.$ D4 v: I2 L1 M1 c! m
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。0 w$ }) d2 u2 m. _0 j
7. “Direct connect” to the target language – find ways to connect words directly with images and other internal representations.
/ g$ Y) [: A, e% S# [/ B+ 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。 |
