Studying means getting knowledge about something by reading examining it in detail or researching we usually perceive studying to be hard and boring and Something that you can usually complete and leave behind like a course or when you study in school You can't wait to finish it and forget about it when people think that they need to study English They usually think that they need to take a course or work with a teacher one-on-one for some time And that'll be enough when they finish it.

我們通常認為學習是艱苦和枯燥的，是一門課程或在學校學習時通常可以完成並拋之腦後的事情，當人們認為需要學習英語時，他們通常認為需要參加一門課程或與老師一對一地學習一段時間，完成後就足夠了。

They will know English and they won't need to go back to learning again Boy, are they wrong?

他們會說英語，不需要再回去學習了 孩子，他們錯了嗎？

Well to be fair to each his own if your goal is just to pass a test like IELTS Then yeah, you pass a test and you forget about it.

如果你的目標只是通過雅思之類的考試，那麼是的，你通過了考試就可以忘掉它了。

That's why it's important to determine your goal Do you need English to pass an exam or test?

是以，確定您的目標非常重要 您需要英語來通過考試或測試嗎？

Do you learn it for fun?

你是為了好玩才學的嗎？

Are you actually serious about it and you want to truly become fluent in English?

您是否真的認真對待並希望真正成為一名流利的英語人士？

Do you need it for work or do you have an intention to move to an English-speaking country?

您是工作需要，還是打算移居英語國家？

A lot of people do need to just pass the IELTS exam So they study for that they get their band And they just relax and stop because that was their goal You can reach a certain level in English and maybe even a very good level But then what if you just quit practicing and using English your skills will worsen Of course, you can take breaks from learning if you go a month without saying a word in English and not listening to anything In English, you'll be fine.

很多人確實只需要通過雅思考試，所以他們為此而學習，拿到分數段後就放鬆下來，不再學習，因為那是他們的目標。 你可以達到一定的英語水平，甚至是非常好的水準，但如果你放棄練習和使用英語，你的技能就會下降。

But if this period expands to a year You most likely are going to have to work on some skills once again Especially speaking and you might forget some vocabulary That's why I prefer living English.

但是，如果這段時間延長到一年，您很可能不得不再次練習一些技能，尤其是口語，而且您可能會忘記一些詞彙，這就是為什麼我更喜歡生活英語。

What do I mean by living English?

什麼叫生活英語？

You need to surround yourself by the English language so that you have no choice but to use it You need to incorporate it into your life so much so that it doesn't feel like learning anymore But it's just a part of your everyday life Part of your routine this way you will not forget English.

你需要將英語融入你的生活，以至於感覺不到是在學習，而只是你日常生活的一部分，這樣你就不會忘記英語。

You will not lose your skills on the contrary You will be only improving every day little by little You probably won't even notice your progress because it's going to be a constant thing But mark my words one of these days you'll be told that your English is great and you'll be amazed by your English and you'll Think to yourself, but wait, how did this happen?

相反，你不會失去你的技能，你只會每天一點一點地進步。你甚至可能不會注意到你的進步，因為這將是一個持續的過程。但請記住我的話，總有一天，你會被告知你的英語很棒，你會為你的英語感到驚訝，你會想，等等，這是怎麼發生的？

That wasn't hard at all.

這一點也不難。

And that's the beauty of living the language you improve while not even realizing it Although it might not be easy at the beginning because it takes a bit of an effort and discipline But it'll be so worth it because you can't just stop learning and using a language and expect it to stay the same level Have you heard the saying if you don't use it you lose it?

這就是語言生活的魅力所在，你會在不知不覺中提高自己的語言水準。雖然一開始可能並不容易，因為需要付出一些努力和紀律，但這是值得的，因為你不能停止學習和使用一門語言，並期望它保持同樣的水準。

Skills need to be maintained when people go to college They can't wait to finish their studying and they do But when they do they usually proceed to applying everything they learned at their jobs This helps them maintain and enhance their skills You need to maintain a language so as not to lose it It's just like with any other skill be it playing an instrument or driving a car after a big break You need to work on your skills.

人們上大學時需要保持技能，他們迫不及待地想完成學業，但當他們完成學業後，他們通常會將所學到的一切應用到工作中，這有助於他們保持和提高技能。 你需要保持一門語言，以免失去它，這就像任何其他技能一樣，無論是演奏樂器還是駕駛汽車，在經歷了重大挫折後，你都需要努力提高自己的技能。

Once again, you don't forget them completely, but they get worse That's why people always find themselves in this vicious cycle of learning English, but never becoming truly fluent in it Becoming fluent in English is a goal for a lot of people but the road they choose to get there Oftentimes isn't the one that's going to get them there by the road I mean the mindset with which people approach learning a language and the approach itself Let's just take my family as an example We live in Ukraine and you will very rarely see a tourist here In our city that speaks English and finding someone to speak English with is also incredibly hard You can take courses here, of course and participate in speaking clubs But I think that these options are available pretty much everywhere and they are not free My family kind of lives in its own little world where we watch and listen to everything in English I use English for my Instagram.

這就是為什麼人們總是發現自己處於學習英語的惡性循環中、流利地說英語是很多人的目標，但他們選擇的道路往往並不能讓他們達到目標，我所說的道路是指人們學習語言的心態和方法本身、當然，您也可以參加口語俱樂部，但我認為，這些選擇幾乎隨處可見，而且並不免費。我的家人就像生活在自己的小世界裡，在那裡，我們看什麼、聽什麼都用英語。

I write posts and post stories in English Our two channels are in English.

我用英語撰寫文章和發佈故事 我們的兩個頻道都用英語。

I read everything in English I speak English with my husband and son because we're raising our son to be bilingual.

我閱讀所有英文讀物，與丈夫和兒子說英語，因為我們要把兒子培養成雙語人才。

However Way back when I had lessons on Cambly.

不過，早在我學習 Cambly 的時候。

I worked with an accent coach.

我和一位口音教練合作過。

I took an accent course I participated in English studying group and speaking clubs.

我參加了口音課程，還參加了英語學習小組和口語俱樂部。

I made a lot of friends who I could speak English with including native speakers You know, I talk about this in more detail in my video called how I became fluent in English So even if you live in a country where nobody speaks English and you have no one to practice with you can still live English believe me over time you get used to this so much that you don't even Understand how you had lived before and why the heck you waited for so long to do that my husband for instance Never even had a goal to learn or become fluent in English But he didn't mind when I asked him to create two channels in English and watch everything in English and occasionally speak English He never checked any words or practiced deliberately He just asked me about the things he was interested in and now his English is at a fairly good level for a person who acquired it passively I'll link my videos in the description where I talk about how you can work on your speaking skills on your own and where you Can find speaking partners and also where you can learn English online And lastly I wanted to say that one very important thing you need to learn to do Is to enjoy English learning it speaking it and find your ways to have fun with it Because if you think that doing all of this is too much and it feels like a burden to you You're not gonna last.

我認識了很多可以一起說英語的朋友，包括母語人士、所以，即使你生活在一個沒有人講英語的國家，也沒有人和你一起練習，你仍然可以用英語生活，相信我，隨著時間的推移，你會習慣於這樣的生活，以至於你甚至不明白你以前是怎麼生活的，以及你為什麼要等那麼久。例如，我的丈夫甚至從未有過學習或精通英語的目標，但當我要求他創建兩個英語頻道、觀看所有英語節目並偶爾說英語時，他並不介意。現在，對於一個被動學習英語的人來說，他的英語已經達到了相當不錯的水準。我將在描述中鏈接我的視頻，我將在視頻中講述如何自己練習口語技能，以及在哪裡可

Okay guys, that's it for this video And I really hope that it was useful for you if that was the case give this video a like Share it with your friends watch it again and again and again and again 10 times in a row And i'll see you in the next one.
