Have you ever been in a situation where you suddenly have to speak English, but your brain is just wired to your native language?

你是否遇到過這樣的情況：你突然不得不說英語，但你的大腦卻只想著你的母語？

基礎數量詞

這種情況在我身上發生過很多次。

過去簡單式

Petersburg and I walked into my TOEFL exam class, I suddenly realized that I have to speak perfect English in order to score my perfect score.

當我走進彼得斯堡的托福考試教室時，我突然意識到，要想取得滿分，我必須說一口流利的英語。

Or I have a meeting with an investor, but I speak Russian to my family and suddenly I have to switch and be really confident.

或者，我要與投資者會面，但我對家人說的是俄語，突然之間我就得換口味，變得非常自信。

And what I started to realize is that the top of the top skills that you can acquire as a language learner is switching from your native language to English.

我開始意識到，作為一名語言學習者，你所能掌握的最高技能就是將母語轉換成英語。

And once you master that, it's going to become so much easier for you to interact.

一旦你掌握了這一點，互動就會變得非常容易。

Have you ever seen people who lived in the US or in an English-speaking country for 10 plus years and when they speak their own language, they start using American words?

你見過在美國或英語國家生活了 10 多年的人，當他們說自己的語言時，卻開始使用美國詞彙嗎？

It's not because they're trying to show off.

It's just really hard for our brain to make that switch.

只是我們的大腦很難做出這種轉換。

Now, today the whole video is going to be dedicated to switching.

現在，今天整段視頻將專門討論 "切換 "問題。

I'm going to start with my personal story.

When I was 14 and I went to study abroad, it was my first morning in England.

我 14 歲出國留學時，那是我在英國的第一個早晨。

And I wake up in an English-speaking family and I come down to the kitchen and they asked me what I wanted for breakfast, but I just couldn't answer.

我在一個講英語的家庭裡醒來，來到廚房，他們問我早餐想吃什麼，但我就是答不上來。

And I remember 10 seconds of silence just because my brain thought in Russian.

我記得有 10 秒鐘的沉默，只因為我的大腦在用俄語思考。

My brain could not process English words at 7 a.m. in the morning.

早上 7 點，我的大腦無法處理英語單詞。

And this is when I realized I have to learn how to switch.

這時我才意識到，我必須學會如何轉換。

And there are three steps to this process.

The first step, of course, you need to learn English, but we'll cover that in other videos.

第一步當然是學習英語，但我們會在其他視頻中介紹。

The second step, you need to start thinking in English.

第二步，你需要開始用英語思考。

Like you need to create this mode in your brain where you start thinking in a foreign language.

比如，你需要在大腦中創建一種模式，開始用外語思考。

And number three, you need to practice switching.

So let's focus on the second and the third steps today.

是以，我們今天來重點討論第二和第三個步驟。

There are several exercises and habits that you can introduce to your daily life to make it easier for you.

您可以在日常生活中引入一些運動和習慣，讓您的生活更輕鬆。

And because you will be switching from your native language, you will be practicing step number three at the same time.

而且，由於你將從母語轉換到其他語言，你將同時練習第三步。

The first task is to describe objects with two words.

第一個任務是用兩個詞描述物體。

And this is a very interesting task because it might sound easy.

這是一項非常有趣的任務，因為它聽起來很容易。

But try to make it a little bit more challenging for yourself.

但要儘量讓它對自己更具挑戰性。

Try to come up with two or three adjectives when you think about something.

當你想到某件事情時，試著想出兩三個形容詞。

And I've recently had this situation when we're doing a campaign with a New York fashion brand.

我最近就遇到了這種情況，我們正在為紐約的一個時尚品牌做宣傳。

And I'm doing my own collection with them.

And they asked me to describe every item with two or three adjectives.

他們要求我用兩到三個形容詞來描述每一件物品。

I'm like, normally, we're not used to describing objects with two or three adjectives.

我想，通常情況下，我們不習慣用兩三個形容詞來描述物體。

Like, try to come up with three adjectives for a pink dress.

比如，試著為一件粉色連衣裙想出三個形容詞。

Try to come up with three adjectives for that beautiful painting.

試著為這幅美麗的畫作想出三個形容詞。

It really helps you practice new vocabulary.

It really helps you with remembering words in English.

它真的能幫助你記住英語單詞。

Another thing that I really like to do, and I'm trying to practice that with my German, we just came back from France and Germany.

我非常喜歡做的另一件事是，我們剛從法國和德國回來，我正在努力練習德語。

So I had a chance to practice my German as well.

But something that you can do is, if you ask a question in your native language, try to ask it again in your head in English or in a language that you're trying to learn.

但你可以做的是，如果你用母語提問，試著在腦海中用英語或你正在嘗試學習的語言再問一遍。

That helps you think about your daily situations in English.

這有助於您用英語思考日常情況。

Those types of questions, daily questions, when you practice switching from your language to another language, like back and forth, back and forth, that will really help you with training your brain to do the switch.

這些類型的問題、日常問題，當你練習從你的語言切換到另一種語言時，比如來回、來回，這將真正幫助你訓練大腦進行切換。

Of course, attending a speaking club or some kind of English language community is always a great idea.

當然，參加口語俱樂部或某種英語社區活動總是一個好主意。

If you're advanced in English, take courses that are unrelated to language learning.

如果您的英語水平較高，可以選修與語言學習無關的課程。

Maybe you take a course for creators or you take course for engineers.

也許你參加的是創作者課程，也許你參加的是工程師課程。

But make sure it has a community aspect where you have a WhatsApp group, for example, and you text each other and exchange news and thoughts on a particular subject.

但要確保它具有社區性，例如，你們可以建立一個 WhatsApp 群組，互相發短信，就某一主題交流新聞和想法。

If you're not there yet to be able to take a course in English, take a course about English.

如果你還沒有能力學習英語課程，那就學習有關英語的課程。

One of the courses that has been a bestseller on our platform called LinguaTrip is a course called From Intermediate to Advanced, where in 30 days we cover a majority of the topics that you need to go over to become advanced in English.

在我們名為 LinguaTrip 的平臺上，有一門名為 "從中級到高級 "的課程非常暢銷，在這門課程中，我們將在 30 天內講授要想達到高級英語水平所需的大部分主題。

We cover grammar, we cover vocabulary, we cover motivation aspect, we have amazing teachers teaching that course.

我們的課程涵蓋文法、詞彙、動機等方面，並有優秀的教師授課。

I am also part of our course From Intermediate to Advanced.

我也是我們 "從中級到高級 "課程的一員。

And it also has a speaking club where you can practice English with students from all over the world.

這裡還有一個口語俱樂部，您可以與來自世界各地的學生一起練習英語。

If you choose the pro version of that course, you will have four Zoom calls for speaking practice.

If you choose the standard version of that course, you will be able to practice in chats and also with your buddy, another student who will match you with based on your interests.

Another thing that I really enjoy doing is called mind mapping.

我非常喜歡做的另一件事叫做思維導圖。

And there is an app called Miro where you can create all of your mind maps.

還有一款名為 Miro 的應用程序，你可以在其中創建所有思維導圖。

And I've recently met a founder, so I started using that.

我最近遇到了一位創始人，所以我開始使用它。

But it basically helps you organize your thoughts.

但它基本上可以幫助你整理思緒。

Why not try and create a mind map of your next goal?

何不嘗試繪製下一個目標的思維導圖？

For example, I am helping with some research at Stanford, and I was organizing articles on AI influencers.

例如，我正在斯坦福大學幫助開展一些研究，我正在組織關於人工智能影響者的文章。

And it's just fascinating how you can create this dashboard where all of your thoughts are structured, everything is linked to an article.

在這裡，你可以創建一個儀表盤，將你的所有想法都結構化，所有內容都與一篇文章相關聯。

You can do the same if you're applying for a university in the US, for example.

例如，如果您要申請美國的大學，也可以這樣做。

You can create a mind map of your process, of the universities that provide financial aid.

您可以繪製一張思維導圖，列出您的申請過程和提供資助的大學。

You can create a mind map of your future career.

您可以繪製一張未來職業生涯的思維導圖。

這只是一個很好的可視化工具。

So if you feel like you are a person who likes to learn language through seeing things and also likes organizing things, try that.

是以，如果你覺得自己是一個喜歡通過觀察事物來學習語言的人，也喜歡整理東西，那就試試看吧。

I think it's really fascinating how different ways of organizing information work differently for different brains.

我認為，不同的資訊組織方式對不同大腦的作用是不同的，這真的很吸引人。

Oh my God, how many times did I say different here?

Maybe this is a tool that's going to work great for you because it's working great for me.

也許這個工具對你很有用，因為它對我很有用。

I know everyone is different, but this is something I've really enjoyed doing.

我知道每個人的情況不同，但這是我非常喜歡做的事情。

The next exercise is called explain it like I'm five.

下一個練習叫做 "像我五歲時那樣解釋"。

And sometimes she asks me questions like, Mom, why are we traveling?

有時她會問我這樣的問題：媽媽，我們為什麼要旅行？

比如，我們為什麼一定要去某個地方？

Or like, why does grandma live in Thailand and we live here?

或者，為什麼奶奶住在泰國，而我們住在這裡？

She asks me very simple questions, yet sometimes I struggle to answer them.

她問我的問題很簡單，但有時我卻很難回答。

Also, explaining something to a five-year-old is a great way to check whether you understand the topic at all.

此外，向一個五歲的孩子解釋一件事，也是檢驗你是否完全理解這個主題的好方法。

What's the difference between a checking and a savings account?

支票賬戶和儲蓄賬戶有什麼區別？
