Today, I am going to teach you how to remember vocabulary.

今天小編就來教大家如何記憶詞彙。

One of the biggest, and most important things about learning a language, or just talking (laughs), is remembering vocabulary.

學習一門語言，或者說僅僅是說話，最大的，也是最重要的事情之一就是記住詞彙。

You might have new vocabulary that you've never heard before or it might be vocabulary that you've heard a hundred times and you always forget.

你可能有新的詞彙，你從來沒有聽說過，也可能是你聽過一百次的詞彙，你總是忘記。

The very first rule when you're trying to learn a new language - the very basic - and a lot of people ask me: "Ronnie, how can I learn English?"

當你試圖學習一門新的語言時的第一條規則--非常基本的--很多人問我：羅尼，我怎麼才能學好英語？

I'm a beginner in English, I want to learn English. The best way to begin learning English is to learn vocabulary; basic vocabulary and then go on to grammar.

我是個英語初學者，我想學英語。學習英語最好的入門方法就是學習詞彙，基礎詞彙，然後再去學習文法

Verbs would be a good way to start. I remember learning French when I was a child, I learned the colors first and then we went on to verbs and I was lost... (Chuckles) I can´t speak French.

動詞會是一個很好的開始。我記得小時候學法語，我先學了顏色，然後我們開始學動詞，我就迷茫了... ...我不會說法語。

I can teach you English, though. Today's lesson is on how to remember vocabulary. The number one rule is: Repeat, repeat and repeat.

不過，我可以教你英語。今天的課程是關於如何記憶詞彙。第一條規則是。重複，重複和重複。

The only way that I can remember new vocabulary (because I am a visual learner, which means I must see things to remember them) I have to write new words down.

我唯一能記住新詞彙的方法（因為我是一個視覺學習者，這意味著我必須看到東西才能記住它們），我必須把新單詞寫下來。

As soon as I write the new words down, for some reason, my brain remembers.

只要我把新詞寫下來，不知為什麼，我的大腦就會記住。

Everyone has a different way of learning; maybe you are an audio learner, that means you learn from hearing.

每個人都有不同的學習方式，也許你是一個音頻學習者，也就是說你是從聽覺中學習的。

If you are an audio learner you´re lucky!... Because you will be very good at languages and...because I'm more of a visual learner if someone tells me a new word

如果你是一個音頻學習者，你很幸運！......因為你會很擅長語言，而且......因為我更喜歡視覺學習，如果有人告訴我一個新單詞，我就會告訴他。因為你會很擅長語言，而且...因為我更多的是視覺學習者，如果有人告訴我一個新的單詞的話

I don't remember the new word, what I have to do, like I said, is write the word down and visualize the word.

我不記得新的單詞，我要做的，就像我說的，就是把這個單詞寫下來，然後把這個單詞想象出來。

Repeat, repeat, repeat...

重複，重複，重複...

Two: A really, really good technique that I used (some of you may know) I lived in Japan for four beautiful years. I actually tried to learn Japanese

二：我用過的一個非常非常好的技術（有些人可能知道）我在日本生活了四年美麗的時光。其實我是想學日語的

...yes, yes, it was exciting and fun!

......是的，是的，很刺激，很有趣!

One way that I learned Kanji, (which is Chinese script) is I had a poster in my toilet of the different Chinese or Japanese characters

我學習漢字的一個方法是在我的廁所裡貼了一張海報，上面有不同的中國或日本文字。

So everytime I went to the toilet, I would look at the poster; I am not physically consciously trying to learn it, we call it: "subconscious"; I´m subconsciously learning

所以每次上廁所，我都會看海報，我不是身體上有意識的去學，我們叫：潛意識，我是下意識的去學。

the symbols because I´m seeing it everyday. Sometimes three times a day I would see that new vocabulary. It would help me to remember because I could repeat.

符號，因為我每天都能看到它。有時我一天會看到三次新的詞彙。它可以幫助我記住，因為我可以重複。

Eventually, I would understand it, I would get it. Another really good technique is to use a poster, as I said, (which is a big paper) and write down new vocabulary words

最終，我會明白，我會懂的。另一個非常好的技巧是用海報，就像我說的那樣，（就是一張大紙），然後寫下新詞彙

Or get small sticky notes. I think everyone understands sticky notes

或者買小便籤。我想大家都瞭解便籤

They're about 'yay' big

他們大概那麼大。

And you stick them on something.

然後你把它們貼在什麼東西上。

When I started to learn Spanish...

當我開始學習西班牙語時...

I'm still doing that..

我還在做那個......。

I would take the sticky notes and I would stick them on the things that corresponded to the word.

我會拿著便籤紙，貼在與字對應的東西上。

For example, if I was going to learn about a chair.

比如說，如果我要學習一把椅子。

I would take a sticker that said 'silla'

我會拿一張寫著 "silla" 的貼紙。

And I would put it on the chair. I would take my sticky note and put it on the chair.

我會把它放在椅子上。我會拿著我的便籤紙把它放在椅子上。

So every time I looked at the chair I would remember the Spanish word.

所以每次看著椅子，我都會想起這個西班牙語單詞。

But I forget now. I think it's 'silla'

但我現在忘了，我應該說對了吧

I think it's my pronunciation that's bad, isn't it? Yeah.

我想是我的發音不好，是嗎？是啊 Yeah.

So if you see the words or a group of words everyday, it will help you remember.

所以，如果你每天都能看到這些字或一組字，就能幫助你記住。

One very important thing to also remember is that you cannot learn 100 words a day.

還有一點非常重要，就是你不可能一天學會100個單詞。

I would limit myself to no more than 10 new words a day.

我會限制自己每天不超過10個新詞。

That's a lot.

這是一個很大的。

I would go for 3, 4, or 5.

我會選擇3、4或5。

If you're a more advanced English learner and you're trying to learn a lot of new vocabulary. I would do 10.

如果你是一個更高級的英語學習者，你試圖學習很多新詞彙。我會做10個。

But it's important to repeat, repeat, repeat.

但重要的是重複、重複、重複。

So in 1 week (10 times 7) you're going to have 70 new words in your brain.

所以在1周內（10乘以7），你的大腦中會有70個新單詞。

But if you don't repeat them you will lose those words.

但如果你不重複它們，你就會失去這些話。

Because I'm a visual learner I also like to draw pictures.

因為我是一個視覺學習者，我也喜歡畫畫。

I'm a very good artist.

我是一個很好的藝術家。

So one way I learn things is by drawing pictures, and putting the words inside the pictures.

所以我學習東西的一個方法就是畫圖，把文字放在圖畫裡面。

If you like arts or you're good at computer graphics you can make little pictures or posters with English words exactly into the picture.

如果你喜歡藝術或你善於電腦繪圖，你可以做小圖片或海報的英文單詞與圖像相符。

So if I was going to draw a picture of a donkey, I would write the word donkey and make the shape of a donkey.

所以，如果我要畫一幅驢的圖畫，我會寫上驢字，做出驢的形狀。

So I remember from doing art.

所以我記得從做藝術。

The next one which is more of an academic way to remember vocabulary is to take a word that you've learned

下一個比較學術性的詞彙記憶方式，就是把你學過的單詞

make a sentence with the new word.

用新詞造句。

If I have the word donkey I can say "I want a donkey."

如果我有驢這個字，我就可以說：「我想要一頭驢。」

So what I'm doing is I am making a sentence, so I'm improving my grammar

所以我在做的是我在造句，所以我在改善我的文法。

And I'm also repeating, repeating, repeating the new vocabulary.

而我也在重複，重複，重複新的詞彙。

I can also say 'Hey, maybe I don't want a donkey'.

我也可以說嘿，也許我不想要一頭驢。

As long as you make a sentence and repeat the sentence, it's going to help you.

只要你造出一句話，並重復這句話，它就會幫助你。

The last trick, which is fun, this is my favourite.

最後一招，很好玩，這是我最喜歡的。

Your own native language can help you remember English vocabulary.

自己的母語可以幫助你記憶英語詞彙。

A very good example of this is, in Japan, there is a word called 'Bimbo'.

一個非常好的例子是，在日本，有一個詞叫Bimbo。

In Japanese it means 'broke'. It means you have no money.

在日語中，它的意思是破產。意思是你沒有錢。

When I went to Japan I heard the word 'Bimbo, Bimbo, Bimbo!' (laughs)

當我去日本的時候，我聽到了一個詞Bimbo，Bimbo，Bimbo！（笑）。

Why are people talking about stupid girls?

為什麼大家都在說傻妞？

In English, 'Bimbo' means a girl who is stupid.

在英語中，Bimbo的意思是愚蠢的女孩。

Or not very intelligent.

或者說不是很聰明。

I couldn't understand why so many Japanese people were saying 'Stupid girl, stupid girl, stupid girl'

我不明白為什麼那麼多日本人都在說笨女孩，笨女孩，笨女孩。

And then I asked someone 'What does Bimbo mean?"

然後我問了一個人Bimbo是什麼意思。

And they said... this means no money so if you can use your own language.

他們說... 這意味著沒有錢，所以如果你能用你自己的語言。

and maybe there's even a word that sounds similar in your language like Bimbo.

也許還有一個詞，聽起來類似你的語言的其他字，如Bimbo。

I'm trying to learn Spanish...

我正在努力學習西班牙語

(sigh) I'm not doing a very good job at it but if I hear a word that sounds like an English word, it helps me remember the word more.

(嘆氣)我做得不是很好，但如果我聽到一個聽起來像英語單詞的單詞，它能幫助我更多地記住這個單詞。

I want you to try and think of your language and English. Even if the word sounds a little bit the same, your language can help you learn another language.

我希望你試著想想你的語言和英語。即使這個詞聽起來有一點相同，你的語言也可以幫助你學習另一種語言。

The word might even be the same in your language, if you're lucky!

如果你幸運的話，這個詞甚至可能在你的語言中是一樣的!

If you need help in remembering vocabulary, number one rule..

如果你需要幫助記住詞彙，第一條規則... ...

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

重複，重複，重複，重複。

Look at it every day. Visualise it. Write it down. Talk about it.

每天看看它。視覺化它。把它寫下來。談論它。

It'll help you. It'll stick in your brain.

它會幫助你。它會留在你的大腦中。
