which is a lot of time,

這麼多的時間

memorizing verb tables won't help you.

死背動詞時態，對你沒有幫助

Hello, everybody.

嗨，大家好

This is Jack from tofluency.com.

我是 tofluency.com (英文學習網站) 的 Jack

In this video, I'm going to answer

在本片中，我將答覆

a very common question that I get from English learners like you.

就如你，學英文的人常會遇到的問題

And that question is this.

這個問題是

How long will it take me to become fluent in English?

我要花多久才能說得一口流利英文？

And what can I do to speed up this process?

我又該如何盡快達到目標？

I completely understand why you want to know this

我完全能了解，為甚麼你想知道這個問題的解答

because when you start something new,

因為你正開始學習新東西

you want to know how long it's going to take you to achieve your goals.

你想知道花多少時間才能達成目標

It's the same for me, too.

我也跟你一樣

For example, how long will it take me to get a six-pack?

例如，我也想知道要多久才能練成六塊腹肌？

Or how long will it take me to get one million subscribers?

或要多久才能達成 100 萬人訂閱？

Or how long will it take me

或是，我要花多少時間

to grow my hair down to my waist?

才能把頭髮留到及腰的長度？

Going back to English fluency,

回過頭來，流暢的英文

a very important thing to know is that

你要知道的是

going from an A2 or a B1 level

從A2或B1等級

to a C1 level is a big goal.

晉升到 C1，是一項大工程

Only a small percentage of those learning English

只有少數學英文的人

reach that goal.

能成就達成

Now a C1 level is where you can basically have

C1 是你能對多數談話主題

conversations about most topics,

自信自在地

and you feel confident doing this.

進行對談溝通

You use the right grammar, the right vocabulary.

同時使用正確的文法、單字

You don't make many mistakes.

沒有失誤

And like I said, it is difficult to get there,

正如我說，這是非常難達到的層級

but know it is possible.

但是可能辦到的

It is possible to reach that level

是可能達到 C1 的層級

if you follow what I'm going to talk about in this video.

如果你按照我接下來說的做

And also know that if you have an A2 level,

若你有了 A2 的程度

and your goal is to get a C1 level,

目標是達到 C1

if in the next two years you are B1 or B2,

若在兩年後你能到 B1 或 B2

that's a great thing because it means

這是好事

that your English has improved.

代表你英文進步了

So don't always think about it in terms of I'm here,

所以別總是想著，根據我現階段

I want to be there.

我想晉升高階程度

Think about it more in terms of I'm here

多想想，依照我現在的程度

and I'm constantly improving.

我該如何持續進步

Let's now talk about the three main things

讓我們來談談

that will dictate your level,

三項能精進英文的建議

and how long it's going to take you.

以及會花多少時間精進

The three things that I think are most important.

這三項是我認為舉足輕重的

Number one is your current level.

首先是你目前的程度

The level that you have now.

你目前的英文實力

Number two is how much time you spend

其次，你一天花多少時間

learning English per day.

學習英文

And number three is what you do with that time.

第三，你在學習英文的時間，做了甚麼事

The first one is obvious.

第一件，顯而易見的

If you have a good level already then it's easier

若你已有良好的英文程度

to become an advanced English speaker.

達成流利口語程度並不難

But if you're starting from the beginning,

但若你是從基礎開始

it's going to be more difficult.

就會相對困難

The second one,

第二

how much time you spend learning English per day,

你一天花多少時間學英文

is something that you have control over.

是你已知並能掌握的

What's important is how many hours

重要的是你願意花幾小時

you are willing to do per day moving forward.

增進英文程度

If you want to speed up this process,

倘若你想更快能進步

if you want to become fluent in English faster,

倘若你想盡快變得更加流利

you'll need to spend more time learning English.

你需要花更多的時間學習

I've got a question for you.

我想要問你

How much time do you spend learning English per day?

你一天究竟花多少時間學英文

This includes watching videos like this,

包含，像現在看英文影片、

going to a language school, doing anything in English.

在語言學校學習、從事任何與英文相關的活動

Okay, so how much time you spend

好吧，所以你一天花多少時間

learning English per day is important,

來學英文，舉足輕重

but what you do with that time is important, too.

但你如何學習英文，也很重要

What we're talking about here is your study plan.

在此所說的是，你的學習計畫

What you do to improve your English,

你如何加強英文

which methods you follow

你用了甚麼方法

because spending two hours per day, which is a lot of time,

因為每天兩個小時，這麼多時間

memorizing verb tables won't help you.

死背動詞時態表，不會有幫助

It's not going to help you speak more fluently,

不會讓你說的更流暢

it's not going to help you understand

不會幫助你了解

how to use grammar in a natural way.

如何自然地使用文法

It's just a waste of time.

這完全是浪費時間

However, spending two hours doing something like this

然而，花兩個小時做此事

will make a big difference.

會有很大的影響

So here is an example of a study plan

所以，我提供個學習計劃的例子

that might work for you.

或許能幫助你

The key is finding something that suits you

重點是找出適合你

in your strengths and your weaknesses

針對你的強弱項

and also your goals.

以及你的目標

But following something like this is very powerful.

實施這個計畫，非常有效益

The initial 30 minutes are spent

開頭的30分鐘

working on your pronunciation.

用來加強你的發音

So you listen to sounds in English and you repeat them.

聆聽並複誦英文語句

You try to improve your intonation.

加強語調

You follow programs that are going to help you with this.

這會有助你的語調發音

Many learners don't work on this area,

許多學生不會對此下功夫

but it's such an important area

這是遺珠之憾

if you want to improve your speaking.

若你想加強口說尤其要注意

Then spend 30 minutes reading and listening to a book.

再接著花 30 分鐘閱讀、聽讀一本書

So you can find a book that includes an audio book

你可以從有聲書著手

and listen and read at the same time.

聽跟讀同步進行

This is followed by 30 minutes using my speaking method.

這步驟接在口說後 30 分鐘

This is where you imitate native speakers,

模仿道地口說者

and you copy the way they speak.

仿效他們說話的方式

This helps you improve your speaking in general,

能全面幫助你口說

but you'll also learn new vocabulary

也同時學習新單字

and internalize grammar.

並把文法規則內化

There is a link in the description to this method.

這有個學習方法的連結

And then you end the two hour study plan

接著，你以 30 分鐘的對話

by doing 30 minutes of conversation.

結束兩個小時的英文學習時間

So you find a speaking partner, or you hire a teacher,

因此可以尋找口語練習夥伴，或聘請老師

and you practice your English in a natural way.

並練習自然而然地使用英文

Again, this is just an example

最後，這只是個例子

of how you might spend two hours per day

每天如何花兩小時學英文的例子

and know that you can spread this out throughout the day,

並且推展到每一天

which means that you can spend

也就是

some time in the morning on this study plan,

你可以利用零碎時間，晨間、

some time on your lunch break

午間休息、

and then complete it in the evening.

最後，在傍晚完成一日學習計畫

But the key here is to know that

關鍵的是

what you do is really important.

你以何種方法學習

At this stage you might be thinking,

在這個階段，你需要思考

oh, but I don't have time to do this.

「噢，但我沒有時間來學習」

Or I can't find anybody that will speak English with me.

或「我找不到想練口語的同伴」

My response to this is

我認為

if learning English and if reaching a really high level is important to you

如果學英文或學到流利英文程度，對你很重要

then you will find the time,

那你將會找到時間

and you will find speaking partners.

也會找到練口說的夥伴

And a good question to ask yourself is

這也是個好問題

am I willing to do the things I need to do

們心自問我是否願意

in order to achieve this goal?

為這個目標付出該付出的？

And am I willing to do this over the long-term?

我是否願意為此做長期的努力？

If so, do more and do the right things.

如果是，那就更加努力、以正確的方式做

With all that in mind,

把這些想一想

leave a comment below sharing your learning routine.

留下評論，分享你的學習歷程

What do you do on a typical day to learn English,

你學英文的例行規劃

and how much time do you spend doing this?

以及你花了多少時間？

Also let me know if you're going to

也讓我知道，你是否準備

change the way you learn English,

改變學英文的方式

and if you're going to do more.

以及你是否決定要投注更多努力
