像傻子一樣練習(xí)

Being self-conscious is your biggest enemy. You cannot speak a foreign language without feeling stupid at some point. You have to get over that. You have to twist your mouth into strange new shapes that make you feel like a caricature; you will speak and not be understood and you will listen and not understand. a lot. It's really okay and in fact necessary to learning. If you think about it, what's the big deal? So you look stupid. Who cares?過于關(guān)注自我是你最大的敵人。如果不在某種程度上感到自己很傻，你是不可能學(xué)好一門外語的，你必須克服它。你不得不使自己的嘴巴變成各種奇怪的形狀，你要說出來并且不要指望別人能聽懂，你要仔細(xì)聽即使聽不太懂。

這個(gè)過程需要許多。看起來很傻真的沒什么，而且對學(xué)習(xí)是必須的。你想想，有什么大不了？即使你看起來傻，又有誰在乎？

If you instead give yourself credit every time you feel stupid you can turn this around. Give yourself a little mental gold star each time you feel stupid because those moments are learning moments. Feeling stupid is actually a sign of progress, or the moment just prior to progress.

如果每次在感到自己很傻的時(shí)候給自己一個(gè)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，就可以把這種窘迫感倒轉(zhuǎn)過來。每次你感到自己很笨的時(shí)候，給自己一點(diǎn)精神獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，因?yàn)檫@些時(shí)刻就是你學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)刻。感到很笨實(shí)際上是進(jìn)步的標(biāo)志，也是進(jìn)步之前的標(biāo)志。

了解自己的水平

I strongly advise you measure your level using CEFR levels (CEFR Levels - The Common European Framework of Reference for languages) as these are now standard across Europe.大家可以使用CEFR標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來定位現(xiàn)有的英語水平，因?yàn)檫@在整個(gè)歐洲都是通用的。

從下圖可以看出雅思考試分?jǐn)?shù)與CEFR各個(gè)能力等級的對應(yīng)程度：

設(shè)定目標(biāo)

Goal setting (and measuring progress against those goals) is one of the most effective tools in your learning arsenal. I highly recommend setting short term and longer terms goals.設(shè)定目標(biāo)（并且以這些目標(biāo)來衡量學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)步程度）是語言學(xué)習(xí)中非常有效的工具。推薦大家設(shè)定短期目標(biāo)與長期目標(biāo)。

Short term goals can be as simple as how many hours of study you will do each week. If you (say) want to study one hour a day then write seven boxes on a sheet and every hour you study, check a box. It feels good and you're measuring progress which is visible to you even when you don't feel like you're progressing.

短期目標(biāo)可以僅僅是你每周要達(dá)到的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間數(shù)。如果你像每天學(xué)習(xí)1個(gè)小時(shí)，那么你可以在紙上畫7個(gè)小方格，每次你學(xué)完1個(gè)小時(shí)就畫一個(gè)勾。衡量進(jìn)步程度會(huì)讓你感覺良好，即使當(dāng)你感覺不到自己在進(jìn)步時(shí)。

Set longer terms goals like passing a specific CEFR level.

長期目標(biāo)則可以定義為達(dá)到CEFR某一等級，或是雅思、托福等語言考試的一定分?jǐn)?shù)。

重復(fù)、重復(fù)、重復(fù)

Repetition is absolutely vital to learning most things but especially important when learning a language. It sounds boring but it doesn't need to be. More on this in a moment. One more time, just in case you didn't get it: repetition is vital to learning.重復(fù)在大部分學(xué)習(xí)中都很重要，尤其對語言的學(xué)習(xí)。這點(diǎn)聽起來有點(diǎn)無聊，但不得不做。再說一遍，怕你記不住：重復(fù)對學(xué)習(xí)至關(guān)重要。
