When climbing the mountain yesterday, a friend said that he also wanted to learn English, but he didn't know how to start and how to learn. I said, whether children learn English or adults, it is nothing more than one word: persistence! Friends said, but I couldn't stick to it every time I started. Why is it so hard to stick to it?
Because there are no shortcuts and tricks to learning English, the only thing to stick to is to accumulate day by day. Therefore, persistence in English learning has become the most important factor. Unlike many science subjects, logical thinking, IQ, and understanding are extremely important. It can be said that English learning, these are basically not required. As long as you can accumulate day by day, there is no doubt that you can learn English well.
So how do you stick to it? It is not difficult to persist in the following points:
First, the goal is clear
Clarity of purpose can be explained from another perspective: how important do you think English learning is? Think it's important enough to set yourself a goal. For example, some people believe that English is a necessary tool for obtaining cutting-edge scientific and technological information, as well as a necessary skill for communicating with international friends, and they (or their children) will definitely use this tool and skill in the future, then their goal will be clear: English listening, speaking, reading and writing must be proficient. With such a clear goal, he will think about how to develop a study plan to achieve this goal. Some people believe that English is a tool for understanding the world and understanding multiculturalism. If you want to directly understand other cultures through English, go out to see the world, and not be limited by language, then for such purposes, you do not need to be proficient in grammar and memorize how many words, but insist on listening and reading every day. Do you have such a goal? What are you learning English for? If you can't answer this question yourself, then there is a high probability that you will not be able to hold on!
Second, the path is clear
How do I reach my goals? Make a clear study plan instead of thinking every day about what I am studying today? What English TV show do you want me to watch tomorrow? The day after tomorrow I wondered if I should enroll in a course? It is also difficult to stick to such a state, it is too exhausting to exhaust willpower, and in order to learn English, you have to make decisions every day! How to make a study plan, you need to have a professional teacher to help you, according to your goals, usual life working hours, study habits, comprehensive consideration to make a plan.
Third, rich resources
English learning requires multi-dimensional stimulation, because listening, speaking, reading and writing skills are four skills necessary to learn a language, which complement and reinforce each other. If you want to really learn the language, you have to go hand in hand. If you can't hear it, you will become "dumb English", and no matter how good you can read and write, it is difficult to communicate with people. I will only hear that it is "English illiteracy", but it is barely possible to live abroad, but to use English as a learning tool, then reading and writing also need to practice. If you start learning from scratch, the order of listening, speaking, reading and writing should be followed. Therefore, learning resources can be started with some audiovisual materials, children can be English nursery rhymes, rhymes nursery rhymes, cartoons. Adults can be their favorite movies and TV shows. First listen, see, familiarize yourself with English prosody, and understand the meaning of language sounds in combination with pictures. Then combine the sound & meaning with the text, and see that the printed text can reflect the pronunciation and meaning. The choice of resources is also best recommended and selected with the help of professional teachers. Choose the right material from the rich resources to make learning more effective.
Fourth, long-term accumulation
After doing the above three points well, there is only one word left: persistence. Keep daily input, long-term through listening, reading to accumulate vocabulary, sentence patterns; Every day there is output, open the mouth to read, practice speaking, start with reading aloud, imitation, and slowly try to express the meaning in sentences yourself.
I can responsibly tell you that the first three are done well, and it must not be difficult to persevere!
