1. Listen a lot – it doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Listen to rhythms and patterns.

多聽——理解與否不重要，盡管去聽吧！去聽聽語言節(jié)奏和說話模式。

2. Focus on getting the meaning first, before the words. Body language and facial expressions can help.

先專注理解整體意思，再弄清單詞含義。身體語言和面部表情會有所幫助。

3. Start mixing, get creative, and use what you’re learning

開始混合，創(chuàng)造話語并使用你所學(xué)到的一切。

4. Focus on the core – use the most commonly-use the words, and use the language to learn more

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)會的東西學(xué)到更多。

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.

找個(gè)語伴——能流利講這門語言的人，或者能盡可能理解你說什么的人。注意，語伴不會糾正你的錯(cuò)誤，但能夠用正確的語言、你明白的語言來對你的表現(xiàn)做出反饋。

6. Copy the face – watch native speakers and observe their face, and particular their mouth moves when they’re speaking.

模仿面部表情——有些人的母語正是你要學(xué)習(xí)的新語言，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。

7. “Direct connect” to the target language – find ways to connect words directly with images and other internal representations.

在大腦和目的語之間建立“直接聯(lián)系”——想辦法讓語言和大腦中的圖像或其他內(nèi)部表象產(chǎn)生直接聯(lián)系。
