Today we're talking about something super interesting.

今天我們要聊一個超有趣的話題。

Why is it that so many people find it hard to think in English or reply quickly even when they understand what's being said?

為什麼很多人就算聽得懂，卻覺得很難用英文思考或快速回應呢？

It's like you know the words, you get what people are saying, but

感覺好像你知道單字，也聽懂對方在說什麼，但是

then it feels like your brain freezes up when you want to respond.

當你想回應的時候，腦袋就好像當機了。

And one thing we've noticed is that a lot of English learners spend years on grammar.

我們注意到，很多學英文的人花了很多時間在文法上。

When they start learning, they're studying rules, but they're barely speaking.

一開始學的時候，他們在學規則，但幾乎沒在說話。

寶寶一開始也不是看文法書啊。

They just listen and try out sounds until they make sense.

他們就是聽，然後試著發出聲音，直到能溝通為止。

So if you start learning like a baby, you can start to think and respond naturally in English too.

所以如果你像寶寶一樣開始學，你也能開始用英文自然地思考和回應。

What do babies do differently from adults when learning a language?

寶寶學語言時，跟大人有什麼不一樣？

Or do you think you're smarter than a baby?

還是你覺得自己比寶寶還聰明？

Well, we're about to spill those secrets in today's episode.

好，我們今天要來揭曉這些祕訣囉！

But first, Noah, here's a fun question for you and our dear.

不過，在開始之前，Noah，這裡有個有趣的問題要考考你和我們親愛的觀眾。

How many English words do you think you need to know to master everyday conversation?

你覺得要精通日常對話，需要認識多少英文單字呢？

是 1000 個、2000 個，還是 3000 個字呢？

That sounds like a good number to cover most situations.

聽起來是個能應付大部分情況的好數字。

We'll reveal the answer at the end of the episode, so stick around.

我們會在節目最後揭曉答案，所以請繼續鎖定。

Alright, so let's talk about some common mistakes beginners make when learning English.

好的，那我們來聊聊初學者學英文時，常犯的一些錯誤。

One big one is spending too much time on grammar, especially in the early stages.

其中一個大問題就是花太多時間在文法上，尤其是在初期階段。

Oh, yeah, and this is something that comes up a lot, especially in schools and textbooks.

對啊，這點在學校和課本裡也很常看到。

They're always pushing grammar rules from day one, right?

他們總是從第一天就猛推文法規則，對吧？

You open a textbook and boom, grammar rules right in your face.

你打開課本，哇，滿滿的文法規則就在你眼前。

But honestly, that's not how we naturally learn a language.

但說真的，這不是我們學語言的自然方式。

They don't know what a verb or a noun is.

他們根本不知道什麼是動詞或名詞。

It's all about absorbing the language first.

And when beginners focus too much on grammar, it can actually slow them down.

而初學者如果太鑽研文法，其實反而會拖慢他們的學習速度。

Grammar can be complicated and even frustrating.

文法可能很複雜，甚至讓人感到沮喪。

Sometimes people feel like they're stuck because they're too worried about getting every rule perfect.

有時候，人們會覺得自己卡住了，因為他們太擔心把每個規則都弄對。

Yeah, and that frustration can make people lose motivation.

對啊，這種沮喪感會讓人失去動力。

I mean, who wants to be memorizing rules instead of actually talking?

我是說，誰想一直背規則，而不是真的去說話？

It's like trying to solve a puzzle instead of just having a conversation.

這就像是想解開一個謎題，而不是單純地哈拉一樣。

So here's what beginners should don't stress about grammar at the start.

所以，初學者一開始真的不用太糾結文法。

Instead, focus on listening and understanding how phrases flow together.

取而代之的是，專注在聽和理解詞組如何組合在一起。

Trust that you'll pick up on the patterns naturally, just like a baby does.

相信你會像嬰兒一樣，自然而然地學會這些模式。

The grammar will come to you over time once you're used to how sentences sound in real life.

文法會隨著時間慢慢來，等你習慣句子在真實生活中聽起來的感覺。

And honestly, you'll find that a lot of grammar just starts to make sense once you've heard enough.

說真的，你會發現很多文法在你聽夠了之後，就會自然而然地懂了。

English totally let grammar take a backseat for now.

In real conversations, it's way more important to understand and respond than to have perfect grammar.

在真實的對話中，理解和回應比文法完美更重要。

So that's one big mistake over focusing on grammar.

所以，這就是過度專註文法的一個大錯誤。

Now let's move on to another one, which is skipping listening practice.

好，那我們來看看下一個，就是跳過聽力練習。

Babies spend months just listening before they even try to say a word.

寶寶們在開口說話前，都會花好幾個月的時間光聽。

They're constantly observing and picking up on sounds, rhythms, and context.

他們不斷地觀察，吸收聲音、節奏和情境。

But in many language classes, there's not enough focus on listening.

但在很多語言課裡，聽力練習的重點不夠。

Students end up jumping straight into speaking and writing exercises without spending enough time just listening to how English really sounds.

學員們最後都直接跳到說話和寫作練習，卻沒有花足夠的時間去聽英文實際的聲音。

And when you skip listening practice, you miss out on some essential parts of language, like pronunciation, intonation, and

而如果你跳過聽力練習，你就會錯過語言裡一些很重要的部分，像是發音、語調，還有

If you're watching conversations right and without that foundation, speaking can feel awkward because you don't have a natural feel for how sentences flow.

如果你直接看對話，沒有那個基礎，說話時就會感覺很彆扭，因為你對句子怎麼流暢地說沒有自然的感覺。

Listening gives you that sense of rhythm and context.

聽力會給你那種節奏感和情境感。

So for beginners out there, we can't stress this enough.

所以，對新手來說，我們真的要再三強調。

You could listen to podcasts, watch shows, or even just play English music in the background.

你可以聽 Podcast、看影集，或者甚至只是讓英文歌在背景播放。

The more you listen, the easier it gets to understand and pick up new words and phrases.

你聽得越多，就越容易聽懂和學會新的單字片語。

It'll help you start thinking in English, too.

這也會幫助你開始用英文思考喔。

So instead of diving into grammar, spend that time listening.

所以與其鑽研文法，不如把時間花在聽力上。

Treat it like you're immersing yourself in the language, just like a baby would.

把它想像成你沉浸在語言裡，就像小嬰兒一樣。

Speaking of immersing, Another secret of babies language learning is repetition and imitation.

說到沉浸，嬰兒學習語言的另一個祕訣就是重複和模仿。

Yes, babies learn by hearing the same words and phrases over and over.

沒錯，嬰兒就是透過一遍又一遍地聽同樣的單字片語來學習的。

They repeat what they hear and mimic the sounds, even if they're not perfect at first.

他們會重複聽到的內容，模仿聲音，即使一開始不完美也一樣。

So for anyone learning English, don't be afraid to repeat what you hear.

所以任何學英文的人，都不要害怕重複你聽到的內容。

If you're watching a show or a YouTube video, try pausing it, repeating what they just said, and

如果你在看劇或 YouTube 影片，可以試著暫停，重複剛聽到的內容，然後

And if you want to get really serious about it, try recording yourself when you mimic.

如果你想更認真一點，試著模仿時錄下自己的聲音。

Then listen to your recording and compare it to the original.

然後聽聽你的錄音，跟原音做比較。

You'll catch little details like the intonation or rhythm.

你會注意到像語調或節奏這些小細節。

Yes, this helps you notice where your pronunciation is different from a native speaker's.

對，這能幫助你發現自己的發音跟母語人士哪裡不一樣。

You'll start hearing the small things that make English sound more natural.

你會開始聽到讓英文聽起來更自然的細微之處。

Here's another tool you can use Daily Dictation.

這裡還有另一個你可以用的工具：Daily Dictation。

We're putting the link in the episode description.

我們會把連結放在節目說明裡。

It's a free website with tons of dictation exercises.

這個網站是免費的，有很多聽寫練習。

You listen to a sentence, write it down, and then check your answer.

你聽一句話，把它寫下來，然後檢查你的答案。

With dictation, you're training both your listening and writing skills.

透過聽寫，你可以同時訓練聽力和寫作能力。

And since you're writing what you hear, you'll get better at recognizing common phrases and sounds.

而且因為你要寫下聽到的內容，你會更擅長辨識常用片語和發音。

Plus, it builds up your vocabulary and helps you understand how words are pronounced in real conversations.

此外，它還能累積你的詞彙量，幫助你瞭解實際對話中的單字發音。

It's also a low pressure way to practice without needing a speaking partner.

這也是一種低壓力的練習方式，不需要找口語夥伴。

So to sum this part up, don't just read textbooks.

所以總結一下這部分，不要只讀課本。

Mimic the sounds, repeat the phrases you hear and make it a habit to listen and repeat every day.

模仿發音，重複你聽到的片語，並養成每天聽和重複的習慣。
