Here we go.

開始吧。

Step number one, you need to put an emphasis on vocabulary.

第一步，你需要重視詞彙。

What do I mean by this?

我這麼說是什麼意思？

You need to really work your active vocabulary and not just your passive vocabulary.

你需要真正練習主動詞彙，而不僅僅是被動詞彙。

Your active vocabulary refers to the words that you actually use and apply in real life.

你的主動詞彙指的是你在現實生活中實際使用和應用的詞彙。

Your passive vocabulary is referring to words that you can understand fairly easily, but you never use when you speak or when you write, type, or text.

你的被動詞彙指的是那些你可以相當容易地理解，但在說話或寫作、打字或發短信時卻從來不用的單詞。

Now, vocabulary is the foundation for learning English.

現在，詞彙是學習英語的基礎。

This isn't just for speaking English, but it's for all the other skills as well too.

這不僅適用於英語口語，也適用於所有其他技能。

Without vocabulary, you wouldn't even be able to understand most of the words that I'm saying in this video.

沒有詞彙量，你甚至無法理解我在視頻中所說的大部分單詞。

I would say that it's crucial to start with vocabulary as this is going to be the bedrock and foundation for the next skills that you should be focusing on, which leads me to step number two, you need to focus on your grammar.

我想說的是，從詞彙開始是至關重要的，因為這將是你接下來應該重點學習的技能的基石和基礎，你需要注重文法。

Now, I know this sounds really daunting to some people, and people may have a misconception of what English grammar is and how much of it you really need to study.

我知道這對有些人來說聽起來真的令人生畏，而且人們可能對英語語法的含義和真正需要學習的內容有誤解。

In order to speak English fluently, you do not need to have superhuman levels of English grammar.

要想說一口流利的英語，並不需要超人的英語語法水準。

It does not need to be super advanced.

它不需要非常先進。

You can really just know basic English grammar and know the basics really well.

你可以只知道基本的英語語法，並且對基礎知識瞭如指掌。

With English grammar, you can really keep it simple.

對於英語語法，你真的可以保持簡單。

You should be able to know how to use words in the future tense, the past tense, and the current tense.

你應該知道如何使用將來時、過去時和現在時的單詞。

For example, I'm going to go do something, or I am currently doing something, or I did something.

例如，我要去做某件事，或者我現在正在做某件事，或者我做了某件事。

You should also know very common phrasal verbs, such as, I'm going to go lie down, or I'm going to get up.

你還應該知道一些非常常見的短語動詞，例如：我要去躺下，或者我要起床。

Just by knowing basic grammatical rules like this and understanding how they differ from your native language will take you a really long way when it comes to learning how to speak proficiently in the English language.

只要知道這樣的基本文法規則，並瞭解它們與母語的不同之處，就能在學習如何熟練使用英語時起到事半功倍的效果。

And this leads to the next step, which is putting an emphasis on your writing skills, or in this case, typing and texting in 2024.

這就引出了下一步，即在 2024 年強調你的寫作技巧，或者說是打字和發短信的技巧。

Now, when you write, type, or text, you really need to think a little bit critically and form opinions and form thoughts when you're expressing yourself in a written form.

現在，當你寫作、打字或發短信時，你真的需要批判性地思考一下，當你以書面形式表達自己時，你需要形成觀點，形成思想。

By focusing on expressing yourself and forming opinions, this will also translate into expressing yourself and forming opinions when you speak as well.

通過專注於表達自己和形成觀點，這也會轉化為在發言時表達自己和形成觀點。

By developing this side of your brain, or the English part of your brain, it's going to translate into the other skills of English as well.

通過開發大腦的這一面，或者說大腦的英語部分，它也會轉化為英語的其他技能。

Every single time that you have the opportunity to practice writing, typing, texting, or even reading, you should also try to practice speaking out loud as you're doing it so you can work on both skills simultaneously.

每次有機會練習寫作、打字、發短信甚至閱讀時，也應試著一邊練習一邊大聲說出來，這樣可以同時鍛鍊這兩種技能。

This leads to the fourth and final step, which is an emphasis on your pronunciation skills.

這就引出了第四步，也是最後一步，即強調發音技巧。

Now, when it comes to English pronunciation, this is where it can get just a little bit more complicated.

現在，說到英語發音，情況就變得有點複雜了。

Pronunciation is even something that people at the C1 or advanced levels of English still struggle with.

發音甚至是 C1 或高階英語程度的人仍在努力解決的問題。

There are many different accents and forms of pronunciation within the English language.

英語有許多不同的口音和發音形式。

This is even the case within English-speaking countries such as the United States of America, Canada, and England.

甚至在美國、加拿大和英國等英語國家也是如此。

It's crucial that you focus on the type of pronunciation that you're going to use most of the time throughout your life.

至關重要的是，你要把重點放在你一生中最常用的發音類型上。

The most simple way to improve your pronunciation is simply just by using the shadowing technique.

改善發音最簡單的方法就是使用跟讀法。

You can use this by consuming English videos or English media in your target accent.

你可以用目標口音觀看英語影片或英語媒體。

As you're listening to someone say something, you can simply repeat it as you're moving along with the English media or the English video.

當你在聽別人說話時，你可以簡單地重複一遍，同時跟著英語媒體或英語影片一起練習。

It is also very easy to practice your pronunciation simply by reading things aloud whenever you have the opportunity.

此外，只要有機會，你就可以通過朗讀來練習發音。

As simple as these methods are, they're often overlooked and forgotten about by English learners because it is a little bit more uncomfortable and it is a little bit more unnatural to practice these skills spontaneously.

雖然這些方法很簡單，但往往被英語學習者忽視和遺忘，因為自發練習這些技能會有點不舒服，有點不自然。

Your pronunciation does not have to be perfect, but it does need to be good enough that you can be understood easily by native English speakers.

你的發音不一定要完美，但一定要足夠好，讓英語為母語的人也能輕鬆聽懂你的發音。

There are also several free applications out there that you can use to actually practice your English pronunciation.

此外，你還可以使用幾款免費應用程式來練習英語發音。

I recommend doing research on those applications as well, especially if it feels too unnatural or too uncomfortable for you to use the shadowing technique or simply reading things aloud.

我建議你也對這些應用進行研究，特別是如果你覺得使用跟讀法或簡單地朗讀東西太不自然或太不舒服的話。

So to recap, the four simple steps would be to put an emphasis on your vocabulary, which will lead you to being able to practice your grammar,

概括地說，這四個簡單的步驟就是：重視詞彙量，進而練習文法，

which will lead you to being able to practice your writing, typing, and texting skills, which will then translate into you being able to focus on your pronunciation and actually physically practicing to speak in the English language.

再進而練習寫作、打字和發短信的技能，最後轉化為重視發音和實際練習英語口語。

If you follow these four simple steps, speaking English will definitely feel natural to you over time if you stay consistent.

如果你遵循這四個簡單的步驟，只要堅持不懈，隨著時間的推移，說英語對你來說一定會感覺很自然。

Even if you do this for less than an hour or even 15 minutes per day,

即使你每天只做不到一個小時甚至 15 分鐘，

these small sessions practicing your pronunciation and practicing your speaking skills and the other skills that are relevant to speaking will definitely compound over time to the point where you'll become a natural when it comes to speaking English.

這些練習發音、練習口語和其他與口語相關的技能的小節也一定會隨著時間的推移而不斷複合，最終使你成為一個說英語的自然人。
