So, here we are. Today, I'm going to talk a little bit about

那麼，我們來了。今天，我將談一點關於

how I used the shadowing technique to learn Japanese, to the level of fluency that I did.

我是如何利用影子技術學習日語，達到流利的程度的。

First of all, a little bit of background. Like everybody else, I started learning Japanese

首先，介紹一下背景。和大家一樣，我也是開始學習日語的

by using text books. I studied grammar rules, I memorized words

通過使用課本。我研究文法規則，我背單詞

and I answered the questions on the text books and that was about it.

和我回答了課本上的問題，僅此而已。

After a while I could understand a bit of Japanese, I could read a little bit of Japanese,

過了一段時間，我可以聽懂一點日語，可以看懂一點日語。

but I couldn't speak any Japanese at all, I couldn't speak, and I couldn't hear Japanese,

但我根本不會說日語，不會說話，也聽不到日語。

my listening was terrible.

我的聽力是可怕的。

The way natives speak Japanese, it was impossible. Now, the CD attached to the text book, I could

本地人說日語的方式，是不可能的。現在，課本上附的CD，我可以...

understand that, no problems, because it was so slow and the language was so plain and

理解，沒有問題，因為它是如此的緩慢，語言是如此的樸實和。

dry. I could understand that, but not real Japanese.

幹。我可以理解，但不是真正的日本人。

Complete waste of time. I heard of the shadowing technique.

完全是在浪費時間。聽說影子技術。

I tried following along to Japanese TV shows, I kept that up for a while and it worked for

我試著跟著看日本的電視節目，我保持了一段時間，這對於

a little bit. But, to be honest, it was too much.

一點點。但是，說實話，這太過分了。

It was too much all in one go. A TV show is pretty long, it was hard to choose

一下子看的太多了。一部電視劇挺長的，很難選擇的

a part to shadow and it was hard to keep it up

如影隨形，難以為繼

and it was hard to review or keep on practicing. So I gave up that pretty quick to be honest

而且很難複習或繼續練習。所以我很快就放棄了，說實話

And eventually I came across a website called www.japanesepod101.com

最終我看到了一個叫www.japanesepod101.com 的網站。

Japanese Pod is basically a website full of "Learn Japanese Audio Lesson"

日語莢基本上是一個充滿"學習日語音頻課程&quot的網站。

dialogues and I used those dialogues for shadowing. When I started doing that, I really started
