http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjY4NjE1OTQ4.htmlI came across this TED talk yesterday in which Chris Lonsdale, a psychologist from New Zealand talks about language learning. He believes that anybody can learn a language in six months if they follow the five principles and seven actions that he has formulated after assessing all the research available on language learning.
% `# t( i6 N% |( Y( |5 f9 L昨天我看了一个TED演讲，来自新西兰的语言学家Chris Lonsdale讲了语言学习的方法。在评估了所有语言学习的研究之后，他总结出了5个原则、7个行动。他相信只要遵从这5个原则、践行这7个行动，任何人都能在6个月内学会一种外语。
; S( l9 e: t3 k. J' q4 r
! u1 m$ }+ s" E9 f& p8 Z' hThe five principles are:
C+ C" ]. i4 P5个原则：' s0 h5 Q/ T8 i$ |" N; ~
1. Focus on language content that is relevant to you.
9 D$ y2 ~8 b0 F8 o专注和你日常相关的语言内容。
1 z4 h( x8 w5 ?& ?2. Use your language as a tool to communicate from day 1.
" j/ N7 j/ q9 t: b从学习这门语言的第一天开始，就把它当做你的交流方式。) {: @; x6 L- }8 u6 H
3. When you understand the message you will acquire the language unconsciously.
& X G/ F* ^2 h# }' q0 R当你明白含义之后，你会慢慢不知不觉地习得这门语言。! Z# K& N1 A1 r
4. Language is not about accumulating a lot of knowledge but is rather a type of physiological training.8 h! t8 h+ ` h
语言学习不是大量知识的积累，而更像是一种生理训练。
% I; @# v. \( A, d8 B5. Psycho-physiological state matters – you need to be happy, relaxed, and most importantly, you need to be tolerant of ambiguity. Don’t try to understand every detail as it will drive you crazy., d) K& K0 g3 f
心理状态和生理状态都很重要：你需要愉快、放松，最重要的是对于模棱两可要有一定容忍性。对于细枝末节不要过于纠结，因为那会把你逼疯的。6 t& L; N$ s) t, D( |( ^
3 l+ o' c! C, t* W7 ]; IThe seven actions are:
2 d: L$ t: u$ S0 r! [7个行动：8 _9 ?" u* H0 U f$ v2 N# F
1. Listen a lot – it doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Listen to rhythms and patterns.! s* G! {8 i8 @# C
多听——理解与否不重要，尽管去听吧！去听听语言节奏和说话模式。
. H3 j M/ p, r2. Focus on getting the meaning first, before the words. Body language and facial expressions can help.; B, ~* Z$ z) R" r
先专注理解整体意思，再弄清单词含义。身体语言和面部表情会有所帮助。
5 R5 Y1 T. o- }8 O/ {# _3. Start mixing, get creative, and use what you’re learning: M. c8 P, a k( Z% o7 L+ `1 {
开始混合，创造话语并使用你所学到的一切。4 w; z( B$ C$ P4 J: n* k
4. Focus on the core – use the most commonly-use the words, and use the language to learn moreC- }- @ u# e4 N. I
把注意力集中在核心部分——使用高频词汇，利用你已经学会的东西学到更多。* L: c1 P1 r. p3 P* |+ i' q, `
5. Get a language parent – someone who is fluent in the language and who will do their best to understand what you mean; who will not correct your mistakes; who will feedback their understanding of what you’re saying using correct language, and uses words that you know.3 w% u& c: p9 }7 ]# y1 R8 l
找个语伴——能流利讲这门语言的人，或者能尽可能理解你说什么的人。注意，语伴不会纠正你的错误，但能够用正确的语言、你明白的语言来对你的表现做出反馈。2 \5 h$ P) \2 u% T) g) l# v% `3 ^
6. Copy the face – watch native speakers and observe their face, and particular their mouth moves when they’re speaking.3 V) c) d! j$ H/ P. |) V/ o0 {
模仿面部表情——有些人的母语正是你要学习的新语言，你要观看他们讲话，观察他们的面部表情、尤其是讲话时的嘴型。3 T8 T3 |0 [# c3 u3 b* x
7. “Direct connect” to the target language – find ways to connect words directly with images and other internal representations.3 Q7 r" P4 g6 `( V- B O- ?
在大脑和目的语之间建立“直接联系”——想办法让语言和大脑中的图像或其他内部表象产生直接联系。 |
