It takes several years to communicate normally with foreigners in English

It has not been possible to teach English in Chinese schools for hundreds of years, because China focuses on grammar and vocabulary, completely ignoring the two important stages of speaking and communication.

The easiest way, if you have the money, go directly to the United States and the United Kingdom (there is a difference between American and English, English is more accent-heavy), stay there for a few months (provided you have at least a level of about 4 in the Chinese English exam), and then go to a language school there.

If nothing else, you'll be able to speak good English in about half a year (the principle is just to use the human survival instinct to force a person to learn a language with the principle of "you must learn a language to communicate and survive"...). It's also because your ears are full of English... Over time, it will naturally be- -

Personally, I think there are a few more useful methods:

1.Watch American dramas and English movies, combined with subtitles, to slowly understand.

2.It is also useful to try to describe what you see in English.

3.You can try to find foreign friends on MSN, or you can chat in English with like-minded friends. Like me, haha! ）

Don't care about the number of levels, just pay more attention to listening, speaking, reading and writing. Watch more American TV series, don't read subtitles, watching subtitles won't do you good. Try to hear what those foreigners have to say.

Analyze it and learn it yourself. It will be good for you to write down words you don't know when you see them. I haven't taken the grade, but those who have passed 6 don't speak as good English as me.

Focus on accumulation in normal times. You will suddenly find that your English has improved by leaps and bounds.

This time depends on the degree of your dedication to English, the more attentive + method = the shorter the time, and also, watch more American dramas in Chinese and English, which will make your English improve quickly.

The main thing is to say more, you have to find an environment around you for you to communicate, go to the English corner, find opportunities to speak English, watch more English movies, programs, news, and if you study diligently, you will be very proficient in a month.

A few words: cultivate a sense of language, cultivate a sense of language, and maintain an English environment, even if it is forcibly creating an environment for yourself.

Maintain the habit of accumulation, not necessarily the whole block of time, you can memorize words in fragmented time, watch reading materials on news apps, watch reality shows, American dramas, and movies in your leisure time are all opportunities to learn English.

Find someone who is willing to practice with you, an international student, or your classmates, and speak English more, I've seen too many people who stumble even in the United States.

My own habits:

For twenty years, I listened to English every day in fragmented time, thundered, listened to podcasts before going to bed, and watched CNN while running.

I basically don't read subtitles.,I used to have to watch subtitles.,Since high school, my mother has generally forcibly turned off the subtitles when I watch dramas.,That's how I didn't get used to it at first, but now it really doesn't matter.,Actually, I adapt quickly.。

Record at any time, I often bring a local, generally read books, even if I buy groceries and encounter more interesting words, I subconsciously write them down or shoot them down, which is also quite interesting.

I often talk to Americans, I will talk to foreign students when I am in China, and now I often interact with Americans in the United States, and I am surrounded by Americans in my previous internships, and when I contact them, I can really pick up some languages and some cultural elements at any time, and if I don't understand, just ask, it's not a big deal.

Finally: learning everything is an accumulation process, it is not so difficult to talk and laugh with Americans, the key amount has been accumulated enough, and it is better to take the initiative to create opportunities for yourself to use language than anything else.

I majored in English for four years, and I had eight junior colleges, and I also had regular foreign friends who often chatted with me because they had common topics. If you want me to say that in fact, if you can practice speaking English for two hours a day for a month, as long as you meet foreigners with similar interests to you, you can communicate without barriers. Which is so hard?

The difficulty is to have the information of both sides equal. Or even just similar.

This is related to the long-criticized Chinese-style English and dumb English, which as the name suggests, is English suitable for Chinese; Dumb English, on the other hand, knows how to speak, but doesn't know how to speak.

I think this is mainly because a lot of learning English is in writing, rather than in practical application, and communication requires good spoken English.

Most of us are learningWritten EnglishTo be able to communicate with foreigners simply, it is also requiredSpeaking training, withA real person has a conversation。No locale is going to be difficult.

Communicating with foreigners in English can be divided into several different types, the most basic is simple daily conversation, some are barrier-free daily conversations, as well as business English, professional English are all possible communication scenarios, we mainly introduce how to learn to achieve the level of barrier-free daily conversation.

Many people think that communicating with foreigners requires a large vocabulary, but this is a misconception in English learning, because the English you can finally use does not depend on how big your vocabulary is, but on how many spoken elements you can master - that is, practical spoken expressions.

When you have enough accumulation of oral expressions, it is actually very easy to be able to explain some very complex concepts or vocabulary through side descriptions, which solves the situation that you can't remember how to say a word or encounter new words when communicating orally.

In other words, in fact, when we communicate in English, we should be aware of a problem, that is, our native language level is very high, and the English level is often much lower than the native level, so we should avoid organizing some cool sentences in our native language and then forcibly translating them into English, on the contrary, we should reduce the thinking of our native language to the level of matching the English level, so that the sentences we organize can be more easily expressed in English.

Coming back to the problem of accumulating spoken elements – the simple thing to do is to keep accumulating useful sentences, dialogues, and articles. If the average person can accumulate ten practical sentences a day, 900 sentences in three months and more than 3,600 sentences in a year, such a number of sentence patterns and the number of words achieved by accumulating these sentences are enough for daily barrier-free communication.

In the case of reaching the level of daily communication, it is much easier to communicate business English and professional English, because whether it is business English or professional English, most of the content content is still the basis of daily speaking, but many new business and professional vocabulary will be added, and these words, as long as you can choose the corresponding type of article or dialogue, read more, and apply more, you will soon be able to accumulate vocabulary in a field and conduct business dialogue or professional dialogue. Naturally, it is not a problem.

My spoken language is still terrible, and even now I can only barely go to a country like the Philippines to speak simply. Zuckerberg and Jobs' speeches can't be done without subtitles. Talking about unsuccessful experiences may help you.

Word. It's important, but there are no words. There are countless GRE words memorized, and most of them are useless, especially in spoken language.

American drama, in the end, you are either addicted to the plot or you can't stand it without the letters, in short, you will find that your spoken language is still not good (in fact, it is a little useful, but it is like you find a beautiful woman to practice Liu Xia Hui Kung Fu, in the end you find that you Liu Xia Hui Kung Fu can not be practiced, in the final analysis, the method is wrong, which is why the monk temple is prolific Liu Xia Hui Monk reason, to conform to human nature). English corner, I once organized an English corner, and for a while I felt that I was good at speaking, until one day I couldn't talk to foreigners about work. It's okay to talk about life like the weather or national events, so-so, and even talk to the Yankees about subprime debt.

But that doesn't count, you must want to talk about what you want to talk about, listen to it, especially work, then it's really good. In fact, at work, I found that my English was still very bad, and when I spoke, I couldn't help but find that I either had syntax and words stuck, or I found that my grammar was wrong in front of me, or I stumbled, and occasionally there were one or two smooth lines, and I basically practiced sentences such as how are you, fine, thank you, and you. Responsibly speaking, the above method is not to say that it is useless, but to say, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, watching American dramas has a role in improving oral English, but there are many people who do not succeed in watching American dramas for 4 years, and I am looking for foreigners to practice in bars, I have worked in a café for a long time, and when I see foreigners, I feel that the free English teacher is coming, and I have not practiced English at home like that, can you believe that practicing speaking in a bar is a good way.

Ponies cross the river. I absolutely believe in the story of the German teacher, but it was in Germany, and if you were parachuted into the United States now, I believe that you might be able to say it well if you didn't go to a bar, 1 year from now. <>

When learning English, in addition to learning knowledge points, you should also pay attention to the cultivation of listening and speaking skills and English thinking. English is also a tool, a tool to be used, it takes constant practice, and it is also necessary to have an English-speaking environment as much as possible. Learning English is a long-term process, and it is necessary to think directly in English so that you can blurt it out directly, and to get rid of it as much as possible in your brain to translate Chinese to English and then speak it.

Insist on "speak more", "listen more", "read more", and "write more", then your English score will definitely be excellent.

1. "Say" more.

Create more opportunities to speak more English with English teachers, meet classmates, and try to greet and talk about feelings and ...... in English when you are with good friendsAt this time, you need to carry a small dictionary of English-Chinese translation, and look up these new words when you encounter them, and you don't need to deliberately memorize them. Don't think of learning English as a burden, always make it a fun thing to do.

Maybe you have the opportunity to meet a foreigner, you should boldly go up to greet him, talk to him about the weather, the scenery, the school ......Just don't ask about his age, marital history and other personal questions. Use some of the vocabulary and sentences you have learned to talk to him. Soon you will find that chatting with foreigners is much easier than talking English with Chinese.

Because he uses a lot of simple words when he talks to you, and he doesn't pay much attention to words, as long as you pronounce them accurately, you will be able to communicate smoothly. It's just that you have to have the confidence and dare to express your thoughts.

If you don't have the right partner, you can take a book or something else as an imaginary object, talk to it about what you have seen and heard in the day, talk about your happiness, your sadness, etc., and your speaking will definitely improve greatly in the long run.

2. Listen more

Look for every opportunity to listen to English. When others are conversing in English, you should be bold enough to participate, listen to the pronunciation of all kinds of people, men and women, young and old, fast and slow, you should be exposed to the orange, if there are few such opportunities, you can choose the content of the article you do not know to listen to, which will help you a lot, and you listen to the tapes of the texts you have learned, it will be of great help to your language intonation learning.

3. Read more.

Read" can be divided into two bridges. One is "silent reading". Giving a certain amount of time to practice every day will be of great benefit to you to improve your reading speed, the content of which can be your textbook, but it is best to read some interesting little reading, because the current English college entrance examination is paying more and more attention to the amount of reading and reading speed.

The score of each question has a lot to do with your level of comprehension, so after three years of reading training in high school, you are sure to win the college entrance examination. The other is "reading aloud", which is an essential way to learn a language.

Fourth, "write" more

Some students always complain that they are short of time and have no time to write essays. In fact, there are many forms of "writing", and it is not necessary to improve your writing ability by writing essays. For example, if you write about something important that happened in your day, or if you learned a phrase that day, you can create a context to use the word appropriately.

This will help you remember the use of the word and work on your writing skills.

It doesn't take a lot of time to learn English, you can practice it with a 10-minute walk"said"You can read English for a while after eating**, and listen to English for a few minutes before going to bed to get you a better rest......As long as you take some time out of your day to practice your English, your English score will definitely improve quickly.

Slow-motion speed scenes can be communicated, but basic English words must be memorized.

English is a skill that uses both the skill of coordinating the brain and muscles.

In this sense, speaking English is somewhat similar to playing basketball. How? Just because you're able to shoot without anyone interfering doesn't mean you're on the playing field. If you can make a two-and-a-half-step layup when a few friends are casually playing, it doesn't mean that you can score in front of the defense; When you practice alone, Li Ju is very accurate in shooting three-pointers, it doesn't mean that you can shoot the winning shot when the opposing audience is booing, and you can shoot the winning shot when you are under a lot of pressure.

Even if you've been practicing for 9 years.

Why? Because the environment in which you train is so different from the environment in which you are competing.

The same is true for most of us. Society"fine, thank you, and you"It doesn't mean you can cope with simple everyday language; Grammatically correct on the exam paper does not mean that you can understand what the other party is saying, especially with slang and colloquialisms; Being able to write English essays according to routines does not mean that you can quickly organize language in your brain; At least in my ten years of English education in middle school and university, I only had one year of speaking training in the real sense of the word (reading texts is not considered oral training) at university, and I had about a few dozen classes. It takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, and at least 1,000 hours to become proficient, right?

1,000 hours means one hour a day (English conversation in the true sense of the word), and three years without interruption! It is simply not possible for the vast majority of people to do so.

When I was in the United States, I knew a lot of Chinese (Te Li was an engineer in a small city), and after living in the United States for many years, my hearing was fine, but I was still very unproficient in speaking. Why? Because every day, whether you like it or not, you always have to listen to English for a few hours; And "talking", as long as you are not happy, can be reduced to less than an hour, and can be limited to those common conversations at work.

For example, when I accompanied foreigners to places like Xiushui, I was often amazed by the vendors' proficiency in foreign languages (often switching back and forth between English, Spanish, Russian, and Korean). Later, I figured it out, and they mastered the most critical dozens of vocabulary (the most common ones for buying clothes), and then practiced dozens of times and hundreds of times a day, and they were naturally proficient.
