情態副詞

Have you ever watched someone speak multiple languages fluently and wondered how the heck they did it?

您是否曾經看過別人流利地說多國語言，並好奇他們是如何做到的？

Maybe you've spent years trying to learn a new language, but still freeze up every single time you try to order coffee on vacation.

也許你已經花了好幾年的時間來學習一門新語言，但每次在度假時想要點咖啡時還是會愣住。

基礎被動語態

Well, what if I told you that most language learning methods are actually designed to keep you away from becoming fluent?

那麼，如果我告訴你，大多數語言學習方法實際上都是為了讓你遠離流利的語言而設計的呢？

The traditional method like classroom study or grammar drills or textbooks, they're all just the slow road to nowhere.

傳統方法，如課堂學習、文法練習或教科書，都只是一條緩慢的不歸路。

Today, I'm sharing with you the science-backed methods that are actually used to help thousands of students across the world achieve a fluency in months, not years.

今天，我將與大家分享有科學依據的方法，這些方法實際上是用來幫助全世界成千上萬的學生在幾個月內而不是幾年內達到流利的水準。

And if you stick around to the end, I'm actually going to share with you the number one thing that sabotages just about every single language learner in getting to fluency.

如果你堅持到最後，我將與你分享幾乎所有語言學習者在學習流利語言過程中的頭號障礙。

Alex spent four years studying Spanish in high school, two years in university, and uses language apps like Duolingo daily.

亞歷克斯在高中學習了四年西班牙語，在大學學習了兩年，每天都使用 Duolingo 等語言應用程序。

But when Alex finally visited Madrid, something kind of embarrassing happened.

但是，當亞歷克斯終於造訪馬德里時，令人尷尬的事情發生了。

Despite all that studying time, Alex couldn't hold a basic conversation with a native.

儘管學習了那麼久，亞歷克斯還是無法與當地人進行基本的對話。

When he finally had his shot, he froze and wasted the opportunity.

當他終於有機會時，卻愣住了，浪費了機會。

Because just like you, Alex was learning about the language instead of learning the language itself.

因為和你一樣，亞歷克斯也是在學習語言，而不是學習語言本身。

Now, there's a fundamental difference between these two approaches to learning a language.

現在，這兩種學習語言的方法有著本質的區別。

On one hand, we have the natural way that the brain acquires a language.

一方面，我們有大腦獲取語言的自然方式。

And on the other hand, we have the unnatural academic way that we study or learn a language.

另一方面，我們學習或掌握語言的方式是非自然的學術性的。

How did you learn your first language ever?

你是如何學會你的第一門語言的？

Even if you did eventually learn things like grammar rules and vocabulary lists, the chances are you learned that language through the language you already spoke.

即使你最終學會了文法規則和詞彙表等東西，你也很可能是通過你已經會說的語言來學習這種語言的。

Now, the research here is actually pretty clear.

現在，這方面的研究已經非常清楚了。

Thanks to Dr. Steven Krashen, we understand this.

感謝史蒂文-克拉申博士，讓我們明白了這一點。

We acquire a language when we receive something called comprehensible input.

當我們接受一種叫做可理解輸入的東西時，我們就掌握了一種語言。

Essentially, this is just saying language we understand basically through the surrounding context that accompanies that language.

從本質上講，這只是說我們基本上是通過伴隨語言的周圍語境來理解語言的。

Now, that doesn't mean that you understand every single word or really any word necessarily, but it does mean that the context clues you in into what the words mean.

現在，這並不意味著你一定能理解每一個單詞或任何一個單詞，但這確實意味著上下文能讓你明白這些單詞的意思。

This actually mirrors the exact way that children learn a language, the way that they can speak fluently before they can even read or write.

這實際上反映了兒童學習語言的確切方式，即他們在會讀會寫之前就能流利地說話。

They listen, make connections and then start speaking all without any sort of formal education.

他們在沒有接受任何正規教育的情況下，就能傾聽、建立聯繫，然後開始發言。

So here is where most language learning fails.

這就是大多數語言學習的失敗之處。

It focuses on output before significant input.

它注重產出，然後才是重要的投入。

That's like trying to build a house without having any actual materials.

這就像沒有任何實際材料就想蓋房子一樣。

So let me now break down the exact steps that will help you get fluent in 2025.

是以，現在讓我為您詳細介紹一下幫助您流利學習 2025 年語言的具體步驟。

Number one is massive comprehensible input.

You need to flood your brain with language that you mostly understand.

你需要讓大腦充斥著你基本能理解的語言。

Movies and TV shows in your target language, YouTube videos made for beginners in that target language or podcasts designed for language learners.

目標語言的電影和電視節目、YouTube 上專為目標語言初學者製作的視頻或專為語言學習者設計的播客。

But here is the critical part that most people miss.

但大多數人都忽略了最關鍵的部分。

Now, I get asked this question a lot, maybe tens of times every single day.

現在，我經常被問到這個問題，也許每天都有幾十次。

I know this sounds counterintuitive, but subtitles actually keep your brain lazy and keep you away from acquiring your target language.

我知道這聽起來有悖常理，但字幕實際上會讓你的大腦變得懶惰，使你無法掌握目標語言。

When you have subtitles, your brain immediately grabs on to the easy option, reading in your native language as opposed to working to figure out the target language and what the actual words mean.

有字幕時，你的大腦會立即選擇簡單的方式，用母語閱讀，而不是努力去理解目標語言和實際單詞的意思。

Instead, you should select content that is mostly understandable and you can get the understanding through context and the surrounding actions or pictures on the screen, but still presents a challenge for your understanding.

相反，你應該選擇那些基本可以理解的內容，你可以通過上下文和螢幕上週圍的動作或圖片獲得理解，但仍然對你的理解提出了挑戰。

After all, your brain is an incredible pattern recognition machine if you give it the chance to try.

畢竟，只要你給它機會去嘗試，你的大腦就是一臺不可思議的模式識別機器。

I understand people saying to me, well, how do I understand anything if I don't understand any of the words that they're saying?

我理解人們對我說，好吧，如果我聽不懂他們說的話，我怎麼能聽懂呢？

Again, your brain will figure it out from context, provided the content is not too challenging.

同樣，只要內容不是太難，你的大腦就會根據上下文理解。

Step two is strategic vocabulary acquisition.

Now, while immersion is going to build a strong language foundation in your target language, we need a strategic way to get vocabulary and put it into our brains.

現在，雖然沉浸式學習可以為目標語言打下堅實的語言基礎，但我們需要一種策略性的方法來獲取詞彙並將其輸入大腦。

This is where digital flashcard systems like Anki or Memrise come in.

這正是 Anki 或 Memrise 等數字閃存卡系統的用武之地。

Now, on these flashcards, you're not going to make the typical flashcards that you might be used to.

現在，在這些閃卡上，你不會再製作你可能習慣的典型閃卡。

The key is connecting new target words directly to concepts and not translated.

關鍵是將新目標詞直接與概念聯繫起來，而不是翻譯。

For example, if you're learning Mandarin Chinese, when you see the symbol for shu, you want your brain to think of a tree, not the English word for tree.

例如，如果你正在學習中文國語，當你看到 "樹 "的符號時，你希望大腦想到的是一棵樹，而不是英文單詞 "tree"。

This eliminates the translation step that slows so many language learners down, especially when they're beginning to start speaking their language.

這樣就省去了翻譯這一步驟，而這一步驟會拖慢許多語言學習者的學習進度，尤其是在他們剛開始說自己的語言時。

When you start actually producing the language out of your mouth, think of the production process kind of like sanding down a piece of wood.

當你開始真正從嘴裡說出語言時，可以把製作過程想象成打磨一塊木頭。

The immersion phase that you just did gets the raw materials into your brain.

你剛才所做的沉浸式學習會將原材料帶入你的大腦。

But to speak fluently, you need to repeatedly sand down that material, sand down and sculpt that wood until it gradually takes the right shape.

但要想說得流利，就需要反覆打磨這種材料，打磨和雕刻這種木頭，直到它逐漸形成正確的形狀。

It's through speaking and receiving feedback.

這是通過發言和接受反饋來實現的。

Like I say, it's the gradual process of producing a sound and then having feedback from a native speaker that will gradually have that sound sound more and more and more like a native speaker yourself.

就像我說的，這是一個循序漸進的過程，先發出一種聲音，然後從母語使用者那裡得到反饋，這樣就會逐漸讓這種聲音聽起來越來越像母語使用者自己的聲音。

Each conversation, each correction and each successful time that you actually say a word all represent different pieces of you becoming more and more fluent.

每一次對話、每一次糾正、每一次成功地說出一個單詞，都代表著你變得越來越流利的不同過程。

Most language courses get this totally backwards.

大多數語言課程都把這一點完全弄反了。

They have you speaking from day one, which is kind of like trying to build a wood sculpture without any wood.

他們讓你從第一天起就開始發言，這有點像在沒有木頭的情況下嘗試製作木雕。

Now, you might ask the question, OK, but how long does this process actually take?

現在，你可能會問，好吧，但這個過程究竟需要多長時間呢？

Well, following a method like the one I've outlined today, you can actually achieve conversational fluency in months rather than years.

那麼，按照我今天介紹的方法，你實際上可以在幾個月而不是幾年內達到會話流利的程度。

我知道這一點，因為我已經做到了。

Of course, if you want to hear me speaking Mandarin, you can check out some of my other videos or go over to Dashu Mandarin's channel where I have a full hour long interview with them.

當然，如果你想聽我說國語，可以看看我的其他視頻，或者去 Dashu Mandarin 頻道，那裡有我對他們長達一小時的採訪。

Now, if I were to boil this down, the key is daily immersion.

現在，如果讓我把這一切歸結為一句話，關鍵在於每天的薰陶。

Even just 30 minutes of immersion a day will drastically transform your brain's ability to understand and eventually produce a new language.

即使每天只沉浸 30 分鐘，也會大大改變大腦理解並最終創造新語言的能力。

Your progress might feel slow at first, but then it will suddenly feel exponential.

起初，你可能會覺得進展緩慢，但隨後你會突然感覺到進展呈指數級增長。

Many learners, including myself, feel this sudden breakthrough when everything just starts to click.

許多學習者，包括我自己，都會有這樣的感覺：當一切開始變得順理成章時，就會有突然的突破。

Now, on that point, I want to share with you the biggest mistake that language learners make in general, and that is inconsistency.

關於這一點，我想和大家分享一下語言學習者普遍會犯的最大錯誤，那就是前後不一致。

Language acquisition and this entire process is kind of like compound interest.

語言學習和整個過程就像複利一樣。

If you keep making small contributions, eventually the yields are massive.

如果你堅持小額捐款，最終收益會非常可觀。

But only if you don't keep withdrawing your progress. 20 minutes every single day beats three hours once a week.

但前提是，你不能不斷撤回你的進步。每天 20 分鐘勝過每週 3 小時。

Your brain needs regular exposure to form the neural pathways that will eventually have this whole process just become automatic for you.

你的大腦需要經常接觸，以形成神經通路，最終讓整個過程成為你的自動行為。

First, find some comprehensible input resources in your target language, which are easily found on YouTube.

首先，用目標語言找到一些可理解的輸入資源，這些資源很容易在 YouTube 上找到。

Second, commit to about 30 minutes a day of language learning, but do not use subtitles for your immersion.

其次，每天堅持 30 分鐘左右的語言學習，但不要使用字幕進行沉浸式學習。

Use a space repetition software like Anki or some other one to take vocabulary that you encounter while doing your immersion and putting it directly into your brain.

使用空間重複軟件，如 Anki 或其他軟件，將您在沉浸式學習過程中遇到的詞彙直接輸入大腦。

Next, seek out some sort of native speaker that can give you feedback for when you do begin to start outputting.

接下來，當你開始輸出時，要找一些能給你反饋的母語人士。

And lastly, I recommend that you track your immersion hours because I believe that what gets measured gets accomplished.

最後，我建議您跟蹤自己的浸入式學習時間，因為我相信，有衡量才有成就。

I should mention there are a ton of steps that could go into this and you can make it infinitely more complicated.

我想說的是，這裡面有很多步驟，你可以把它變得無限複雜。

If you just want a step-by-step plan that's done for you that you can just follow all the way to conversational fluency, then just check the link in the description.

如果你只想得到一個為你量身定做的循序漸進的計劃，讓你按照這個計劃一步步達到會話流利，那麼只需查看說明中的鏈接即可。

Language learning doesn't have to be a years-long journey of frustration.

語言學習不一定要經歷長達數年的挫折。

By working with your brain's natural language acquisition mechanisms instead of against them, you can achieve in months what many people seem to fail to achieve in years.

通過與大腦的自然語言習得機制合作，而不是與之對抗，你可以在幾個月內實現許多人多年都無法實現的目標。

Remember, children become fluent speakers of their language before they can even read or write.

請記住，孩子們在會讀會寫之前就能流利地使用自己的語言。

Massive comprehensible input, direct concept connections, and gradual output practice.

大量可理解的輸入、直接的概念聯繫和漸進的輸出練習。

Remember, when you fill your ears with a language, it eventually overflows into your brain.

記住，當你的耳朵裡充斥著一種語言時，它最終會溢出到你的大腦中。

And then when it overflows in your brain, it begins to overflow out of your mouth.

當它在你的大腦中氾濫時，就會開始從你的口中溢出。

Now, after hearing that you should be immersing in comprehensible input content and you either don't know what that is or don't know what counts as comprehensible input, then check this video right here where I tell you exactly the kind of content that you should be watching in order to get your comprehensible input.

現在，在聽說你應該沉浸在可理解輸入內容中之後，你要麼不知道什麼是可理解輸入，要麼不知道什麼算作可理解輸入，那就看看這段視頻吧，我在這裡會告訴你為了獲得可理解輸入，你應該看什麼樣的內容。
