What I've noticed, though, is when you learn a language, if you don't regularly practice that language, if you don't do some reading and writing and speaking throughout the week, you start to forget things.

不過，我注意到，當你學習一門語言時，如果你不經常練習這門語言，如果你一週都不進行一些閱讀、寫作和口語練習，你就會開始遺忘一些東西。

This doesn't happen for me in English because as a native speaker, I get to speak English all the time.

我說英語時就不會出現這種情況，因為作為母語使用者，我一直都在說英語。

I'm always practicing.

我一直在練習。

But if I don't take the time to practice my French, I start to forget things. So in this English lesson, I'm going to tell you the top five things I do each week to help me remember the French that I've learned in the past, the things I do to practice it each week, and you can use the same five techniques to help you with your English.

但是，如果我不花時間練習法語，我就會開始忘記一些事情。是以，在這節英語課上，我將告訴你我每週要做的五件最重要的事情，以幫助我記住過去學過的法語，以及我每週要做的練習法語的事情，你也可以用同樣的五種技巧來幫助你學習英語。

So we're going to do these in reverse order.

所以，我們要按相反的順序來做。

I'm going to start with number five, and I'll work my way up to the best piece of advice that I can give you.

我將從第五個建議開始，然後我將逐步提出我能給你們的最佳建議。

So let's start with number five. Number five is reading.

讓我們從第五項開始。第五項是閱讀。

In particular, I like reading books.

我尤其喜歡看書。

And more specifically, I like reading books in my target language that I've already read in my native language.

更具體地說，我喜歡閱讀我已經用母語讀過的目標語言書籍。

If you don't know those two terms, your target language is the language you're learning, and your native language is the language that you've been speaking since you were a little kid.

如果您不知道這兩個術語，那麼您的目標語言就是您正在學習的語言，而您的母語就是您從小到大一直在說的語言。

I like doing this for two reasons.

我喜歡這樣做有兩個原因。

When I read a book in my target language that I've already read in my native language, number one, I know I'm already going to enjoy the book.

當我用目標語言閱讀一本我已經用母語讀過的書時，第一，我知道我已經會喜歡這本書了。

I've already read it maybe five or 10 years ago.

我可能在五年或十年前就已經讀過了。

And number two, I already know most of the story and the names of the characters.

第二，我已經知道了故事的大部分內容和人物的名字。

So as I'm reading in my target language, my brain can kind of fill in the blanks when I'm reading passages where I maybe don't recognize all the words.

是以，當我用目標語言閱讀時，我的大腦就能在閱讀我可能不認識的所有單詞的段落時填補空白。

So number five, working our way backwards, number five, the fifth most important thing for me to practice my target language is definitely to read books. So the fourth thing that I would recommend and something that I do is to watch a lot of television shows in your target language.

第五件事，倒推一下，對我來說，練習目標語言的第五件最重要的事肯定是看書。我推薦的第四件事，也是我經常做的一件事，就是用目標語言觀看大量電視節目。

I do this a lot.

我經常這樣做。

I'm a little bit of a TV addict.

我有點電視癮。

I'm not sure why.

我不知道為什麼。

Maybe it's because I watched a lot of TV with my dad when I was a kid.

也許是因為我小時候經常和爸爸一起看電視的緣故吧。

I just naturally like watching TV.

我天生就喜歡看電視。

So it's really easy for me to watch TV in my target language.

是以，對我來說，用目標語言看電視真的很容易。

The internet makes this really easy, by the way.

順便說一句，互聯網讓這一切變得非常容易。

It's much easier to find TV shows in the language you're trying to learn.

用你要學的語言查找電視節目要容易得多。

And one of the reasons I like TV shows is I like the characters.

我喜歡電視劇的原因之一就是我喜歡劇中的人物。

I like following the story of a character through one episode and an entire season and sometimes multiple seasons.

我喜歡通過一集、一整季，有時是多季，來追隨一個角色的故事。

It's really fun to get to know the people in the show and you also then train your ear to understand that person.

瞭解節目中的人物真的很有趣，你還能訓練自己的耳朵去理解那個人。

So the fourth thing that I do quite regularly is I watch a lot of television in my target language. Okay, here we go.

是以，我經常做的第四件事就是看大量的目標語言電視。好了，我們開始吧。

Number three, watch a lot of YouTube videos.

第三，多看 YouTube 視頻。

Now, I know I'm a YouTuber and you might feel like I'm just trying to get you to watch more of my YouTube videos, but that's not the point here.

現在，我知道我是一個 YouTuber，你可能會覺得我只是想讓你看更多我的 YouTube 視頻，但這不是重點。

The point is I find YouTube to be an amazing tool.

重點是，我發現 YouTube 是一個了不起的工具。

It's amazing for learning a language.

對學習語言來說，這真是太棒了。

You can find YouTube videos that actually teach you the language.

您可以在 YouTube 上找到真正教授語言的視頻。

You can find YouTube videos on subjects that you are interested in.

您可以在 YouTube 上找到您感興趣的主題視頻。

You can do a lot of watching and a lot of learning, not just of your target language, but of things you wanted to know anyways.

您可以進行大量的觀察和學習，不僅學習目標語言，而且學習您想知道的東西。

So for me, number three, watch a lot of YouTube videos.

所以對我來說，第三點就是多看 YouTube 視頻。

Watch YouTube videos that specifically teach you the language you are learning, but also watch YouTube videos that you're just interested in.

觀看專門教授所學語言的 YouTube 視頻，同時也觀看自己感興趣的 YouTube 視頻。

Maybe you want to learn how to make a pie.

也許你想學習如何做餡餅。

Maybe you want to learn how to take care of puppies because your dog just had puppies.

也許您想學習如何照顧幼犬，因為您的愛犬剛剛生了幼犬。

Find YouTube videos in your target language and watch them. Number two, listen to a lot of music.

查找目標語言的 YouTube 視頻並觀看。第二，多聽音樂。

I love listening to French music and you should love listening to English music.

我喜歡聽法語音樂，你也應該喜歡聽英語音樂。

One of the coolest things about music is, A, it usually makes you feel really good.

音樂最酷的一點是，A，它通常會讓你感覺非常好。

Sometimes it has a good beat or when you finally understand the lyrics, it has a good message, but it also is something that you don't mind doing over and over again.

有時，它的節拍很好，或者當你終於理解歌詞時，它有很好的資訊，但它也是你不介意反覆做的事情。

I have a great playlist in my target language that I listen to quite regularly.

我有一個很好的目標語言播放列表，我經常聽。

In fact, I will listen to it before I do what's number one on the list because it puts my brain into that language.

事實上，我會在做清單上的第一件事之前先聽它，因為它能讓我的大腦進入這種語言。

It's really, really helpful.

這真的非常非常有幫助。

So number two, something you should be doing a lot of, listen to a ton of music. And here we go.

所以第二點，你應該做的就是多聽音樂。我們開始吧

Number one, find a speaking partner.

第一，找個演講搭檔。

I cannot emphasize this enough.

這一點我怎麼強調都不為過。

Nothing will improve your language faster or better than having a regular meeting with a speaking partner.

沒有什麼能比與口語夥伴定期會面更快更好地提高您的語言水準了。

I don't know if this is a scientific fact.

我不知道這是否是科學事實。

Sorry, I said it like it was some sort of fact.

對不起，我說得好像這是事實一樣。

For me, the number one thing, the best thing I can do to get better in my target language to speak French better is to meet with my French speaking partner, which I'm starting again this Wednesday.

對我來說，要想更好地掌握目標語言，說更好的法語，我所能做的第一件事、最好的事就是與我的法語夥伴見面，本週三我又要開始了。

I'm pretty excited to talk to them again.

我很高興能再次與他們交談。

If you don't have an English speaking partner, do whatever you can to find one.

如果您沒有會說英語的夥伴，請盡力尋找。

I cannot, once again, emphasize enough how important it is to have a speaking partner.

我再一次強調，有一個演講搭檔是多麼重要。

It just works wonders.

它能創造奇蹟。

It makes you work harder during the week as you know that meeting is approaching.

這讓你在一週內更加努力，因為你知道會議即將來臨。

In fact, Vanessa mentioned this in her video a week and a half ago, the video that I was in.

事實上，瓦妮莎在一週半前的視頻中提到了這一點，也就是我參加的那個視頻。

I'll put a link up here.

我會把鏈接放在這裡。

At the very end, she talks about how if you know you're going to have a conversation, you do more reading, you listen to more music, you watch more TV because you want to have things to talk about when you meet with that person. Anyways, thanks for watching this short English lesson.

最後，她談到，如果你知道你將與人交談，你就會多讀書、多聽音樂、多看電視，因為你想在與對方見面時有話題可聊。總之，感謝您收看這堂簡短的英語課。

I hope it gave you a little bit of advice for things you can do to improve your English studying and the things you can do to maintain the English you've already learned.

我希望它能給你一點建議，讓你知道如何提高英語學習成績，以及如何保持已學的英語水平。
