Becoming fluent in English is not a talent.

All you need to do to become fluent in English is follow methods that have been proven to work since the beginning of time.

要想說一口流利的英語，你所需要做的就是遵循自古以來就被證明有效的方法。

In today's video, you're going to find out why you are not fluent in English yet and how you can change that.

在今天的視頻中，您將瞭解自己為什麼還不能說流利的英語，以及如何改變這種狀況。

I've been helping people become fluent in English for many years now and I've clearly seen why some people succeed and why most people fail to learn English.

多年來，我一直在幫助人們學習流利的英語，我清楚地知道為什麼有些人能夠成功，而大多數人卻學不好英語。

I encourage you to watch this video until the end because if you skip even one of these steps that I'm about to share with you, it will likely be the reason why you're unable to become fluent in English.

我鼓勵你把這段視頻看完，因為如果你跳過我接下來要與你分享的步驟中的哪怕一個，這很可能會成為你無法流利使用英語的原因。

Now, the first step comes down to building a solid foundation.

現在，第一步要做的就是打下堅實的基礎。

Without a solid foundation, I promise that you will speak broken English for the rest of your entire life.

如果沒有堅實的基礎，我保證你一輩子都只能說蹩腳的英語。

A solid foundation implies learning the most common vocabulary words, phrasal verbs, and expressions in English.

紮實的基礎意味著要學習最常用的英語詞彙、短語動詞和表達方式。

It also implies having a solid foundation of the grammatical differences between English and your native language.

這也意味著要對英語和母語之間的文法差異有一個堅實的基礎。

Once, I was giving some advice to a student who expressed how much they would practice their listening and speaking skills in English.

有一次，我給一個學生提了一些建議，他說他們非常願意練習英語聽力和口語。

However, even after years of practicing their listening and speaking, they were still unable to have conversations with native English speakers without having a very difficult time understanding them and vice versa.

然而，即使經過多年的聽力和口語練習，他們仍然無法與以英語為母語的人進行對話，也很難理解他們的意思，反之亦然。

This student was frustrated because he had the work ethic and the desire to learn English, but everything he tried did not produce results in real life.

這名學生很沮喪，因為他有學習英語的職業道德和願望，但他所做的一切努力都沒有在現實生活中產生效果。

I advised the student to take one very simple step that changed everything for him, and that was to reform his grammar.

我建議這名學生採取一個非常簡單的步驟，這改變了他的一切，那就是改革他的文法。

Once the student reformed his grammar and developed a deeper understanding for the figure of speech and grammar in English as opposed to his native language, it put all the pieces of the puzzle together in his head and he was able to speak much more like a native speaker and he could understand me when I used idioms and expressions with him much better as well.

一旦這位學生改正了文法，並對英語中的語形和文法有了相對於母語的更深刻的理解，他腦子裡的拼圖就全部拼起來了，他就能說得更像母語使用者了，當我和他一起使用習慣用語和表達時，他也能更好地理解我了。

The moral of this story is not to skip this step when it comes to learning a new language like English.

這個故事的寓意是，在學習英語等新語言時，不要跳過這一步。

You do not need to know advanced grammatical rules in English, but you should know the basics well and very well before you start practicing all of the other skills in the English language, like speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

您不需要掌握高級英語語法規則，但在開始練習英語的所有其他技能（如口語、聽力、閱讀和寫作）之前，您應該很好地掌握基礎知識。

Starting with vocabulary and grammar is going to make practicing all of the other skills in English one million times easier.

從詞彙和文法入手，會讓練習英語的其他技能變得容易無數倍。

This leads me to step number two, which is observation.

Now, observing how English speakers communicate might seem simple, but I guarantee that most of you watching this video right now are most likely making a very, very common mistake.

現在，觀察說英語的人如何交流可能看起來很簡單，但我保證，現在觀看這段視頻的大多數人很可能正在犯一個非常、非常常見的錯誤。

Once you have established a good foundation, it will be important for you to observe how native English speakers such as myself actually communicate.

一旦你打下了良好的基礎，你就必須觀察像我這樣以英語為母語的人是如何實際交流的。

However, oftentimes English learners forget that there are many different styles of communication, especially for native English speakers.

然而，英語學習者往往忘記了有許多不同的交流方式，尤其是以英語為母語的人。

Observation implies listening and reading.

This is very simple to do as you can simply watch videos at your current level of English and use English subtitles.

要做到這一點非常簡單，因為您只需以現有的英語水平觀看視頻並使用英文字幕即可。

However, the most common mistake that people make is not balancing the types of content that they consume in English.

然而，人們最常犯的錯誤是沒有平衡好英語消費內容的類型。

For example, I've come across English students who only like to watch movies and TV shows with subtitles in English to practice their listening and their reading skills.

例如，我遇到過一些英語學生，他們只喜歡看有英文字幕的電影和電視節目，以練習聽力和閱讀能力。

What they tend to forget is that TV shows and movies are oftentimes very scripted and dramatic.

他們往往忘記的是，電視節目和電影通常都是非常有劇本和戲劇性的。

TV shows and movies can also illustrate scenes that are very, very unrealistic.

電視節目和電影也可以展示非常、非常不現實的場景。

When people like this encounter native English speakers like myself in real life, their entire vernacular can sound awkward because they have not been exposed to very many real-life conversations by fluent English speakers.

當這樣的人在現實生活中遇到像我這樣以英語為母語的人時，他們的整句白話聽起來會很彆扭，因為他們在現實生活中沒有接觸過太多說流利英語的人的對話。

It's okay to use English TV shows and movies to practice your observation skills.

可以利用英語電視節目和電影來練習觀察能力。

However, I highly recommend that you mix up the type of media that you're consuming.

不過，我強烈建議你混合使用不同類型的媒體。

Sometimes you should consume interviews, podcasts, or videos of people naturally speaking on social media about any topic that may interest you.

有時，您應該閱讀訪談、播客或視頻，聽他們在社交媒體上自然而然地談論您可能感興趣的任何話題。

This is going to prepare you for real-life interactions much, much better.

這將為你在現實生活中的互動做好更充分的準備。

Also, when you read comments on social media in English, you may notice that a lot of people use slang terminology as well as acronyms and abbreviations.

此外，當您閱讀社交媒體上的英文評論時，您可能會發現很多人使用俚語、縮略語和簡稱。

You do not have to use these terms when you eventually learn how to communicate in English, but I still recommend that you make an effort to at least understand what they mean for the sake of your listening and your reading skills in English.

在你最終學習如何用英語交流時，你不必使用這些術語，但我還是建議你至少努力理解它們的意思，以提高你的英語聽力和閱讀能力。

Whether or not you like all of the words or the expressions in the English language, they still exist and they are going to continue to be used by English speakers in the world.

無論你是否喜歡英語中的所有單詞或表達方式，它們仍然存在，並將繼續被世界上講英語的人使用。

Observing the way that English speakers communicate leads to the next step, which is application.

通過觀察英語使用者的交流方式，可以進入下一步，即應用。

All of the other skills that you have learned up until this point are practically useless if you can't apply them in a real-life conversation with someone who is fluent in English.

如果不能在與英語流利的人進行實際對話時運用這些技能，那麼在此之前學到的所有其他技能實際上都是無用的。

Unfortunately, most people fail to learn English at this very step in the process of application.

遺憾的是，大多數人在申請過程中的這一步都沒有學好英語。

Of course, every English learner wants to know how to communicate in English as communicating is by far the most tangible skill in English that can clearly indicate if you're fluent or if you are not fluent in the English language.

當然，每個英語學習者都想知道如何用英語交流，因為交流是迄今為止英語中最具體的技能，可以清楚地表明你的英語流利與否。

Application implies both the ability to speak and the ability to write, type, or text.

應用既意味著說話的能力，也意味著書寫、打字或發短信的能力。

These skills are simple to practice in theory, but a lot of people fail due to how uncomfortable it can be to make a lot of mistakes.

這些技能在理論上很容易練習，但很多人都失敗了，因為犯很多錯誤會讓人很不舒服。

I can tell you right now that there is a 100% chance that you're going to make a ton of mistakes as you develop your ability to communicate through spoken and written English.

我現在就可以告訴你，在培養英語口語和書面交流能力的過程中，你犯錯誤的機率是百分之百的。

At some point in time, you will need to mentally accept this.

在某些時候，你需要在心理上接受這一點。

An easy way to get over this mentally is simply by asking yourself what the best-case scenario and what the worst-case scenario would be for you practicing speaking aloud or texting with other English speakers.

克服這種心理障礙的一個簡單方法就是問自己，在與其他講英語的人練習大聲說話或發短信時，最好的情況是什麼，最壞的情況又是什麼。

The best-case scenario is that you learn from all of the mistakes that you're bound to make and end up becoming more fluent in English than the other 80% of English learners who are too nervous or too anxious to take this step.

最好的情況是，你能從所有必然會犯的錯誤中吸取教訓，最終比其他 80% 因過於緊張或焦慮而不敢邁出這一步的英語學習者更流利地使用英語。

The worst-case scenario is that you embarrass yourself and occasionally get rejected by some English speakers who do not have the patience to speak with you.

最糟糕的情況是，你會讓自己難堪，偶爾會被一些沒有耐心與你交談的英語使用者拒絕。

When you frame things in a way where you basically have nothing to lose and everything to gain, you will make the right decision.

當你把事情定格在你基本上不會失去什麼，而會得到什麼的時候，你就會做出正確的決定。

In addition, at the end of the day, it's important to remember that nobody actually cares about a lot of the embarrassing moments that you will inevitably have in your life.

此外，說到底，重要的是要記住，其實沒有人會在意你生活中不可避免的許多尷尬時刻。

If you fail to communicate with an English speaker in real life, they will continue to go on living their lives and you will continue to go on living your life.

如果你在現實生活中無法與講英語的人交流，他們會繼續過他們的生活，你也會繼續過你的生活。

At the end of the day, no one really cares in the grand scheme of things.

歸根結底，沒有人會真正關心這些大事。

Now, once you take the step to actually practice applying your skills, the last step that is left for you to do is getting feedback.

現在，一旦你邁出了實際應用技能的練習這一步，剩下的最後一步就是獲取反饋了。

Now, if you only receive feedback from non-native English speakers or other intermediate English speakers, it will be extremely difficult to understand what is actually considered to be normal and common in the English language and what is considered to be abnormal or uncommonly used in the English language.

現在，如果你只收到來自非英語母語者或其他中級英語使用者的反饋，那麼你將很難理解什麼在英語中被認為是正常和常用的，什麼在英語中被認為是不正常或不常用的。

But one way or another, feedback is really the last step that you need to take, ideally from native English speakers.

但無論如何，反饋確實是你需要採取的最後一步，最好是來自以英語為母語的人。

I say ideally from native English speakers because receiving feedback from native English speakers will simply validate everything that you've been learning.

我之所以說最好是英語為母語的人，是因為從英語為母語的人那裡得到的反饋會驗證你所學到的一切。

Some English students make up excuses for why they can't get feedback.

有些英語學生會為自己得不到反饋找藉口。

Some of those common excuses that I've heard were, I can't progress in English because I don't have English immersion.

我聽到的一些常見藉口是：我的英語水平無法提高，因為我沒有浸入式英語教學。

Or, I don't have access to any native English speakers who have the patience to practice with me.

或者，我沒有任何以英語為母語的人有耐心和我一起練習。

However, what a lot of English learners fail to understand is that feedback can come in many different forms.

然而，很多英語學習者不明白的是，反饋可以有多種不同的形式。

For example, you can validate your pronunciation by listening to a native English speaker like myself say something in a video like this one and comparing it to how you pronounce it when you record yourself You can also pay attention to which grammatical rules English speakers ignore when they speak casually and how they speak in formal situations.

例如，您可以通過聽像我這樣以英語為母語的人在視頻中說話來驗證自己的發音，然後將其與您自己錄音時的發音進行比較。

In addition, in 2024, it has never been easier to get access to native English speakers as there are several free language exchange applications out there to help you test out your English skills 100% for free.

此外，在 2024 年，接觸以英語為母語的人比以往任何時候都要容易，因為有幾款免費的語言交流應用程序可以幫助你 100% 免費地測試自己的英語技能。

An example of a free application would be the application LanguaTalk.

免費應用程序的一個例子就是 LanguaTalk 應用程序。

The main lesson here is to be resourceful.

這裡的主要教訓是要足智多謀。

There's always a way to receive feedback from native English speakers directly or indirectly in 2024.

在 2024 年，總有辦法直接或間接地從以英語為母語的人那裡獲得反饋。

Now to recap, for step number one you need to build a solid foundation.

現在總結一下，第一步，你需要打下堅實的基礎。

This means reviewing the most common vocabulary terms in English and understanding basic English grammar and how it differs from your native language.

這意味著要複習最常用的英語詞彙，瞭解基本的英語語法及其與母語的不同之處。

This simply implies working on your listening and your reading skills in English.

這就意味著要提高英語聽力和閱讀能力。

Step number three is application, which implies working on your speaking, writing, typing and texting skills.

第三步是應用，這意味著要練習說話、寫作、打字和發短信的技能。

And finally, step number four is receiving feedback, ideally from native English speakers.

最後，第四步是接收反饋，最好是來自以英語為母語的人的反饋。

These four simple steps are literally everything you need to become fully fluent in the English language.

這四個簡單的步驟就是你完全掌握流利英語所需的一切。

It is especially easy to follow all four of these steps in the modern day because of all the resources out there that make it easier for you to execute all four of these steps.

在現代，遵循上述四個步驟尤為容易，因為所有的資源都能讓您更輕鬆地執行上述四個步驟。

If you made it to the end of the video, I have a free guide going into more detail on how to go through all four of these steps and roughly how long it will take you to become fully fluent in English.
