right today i want to talk about three things

好的，今天我想談三件事。

that feel like learning they feel productive you do them you finish you tick them off

那種感覺就像在學習，會讓你覺得很有成就感，你動手去做，完成之後，一項項打勾確認。

and you feel like you've put the work in

而且你會覺得自己已經付出了足夠的努力

and a lot of the time you haven't

而且很多時候你根本沒有

or at least not nearly as much as it felt like at the time

或者至少說，遠沒有當時感覺的那麼嚴重

So this video is for you if you've been putting the hours in

如果你一直在投入時間努力，那這個影片就是為你準備的。

and you don't feel like you've moved much in the last year in terms of progressing with your English.

而且你感覺過去這一年裡自己的英語水平並沒有取得多大進步。

And if that's you, I'd say the problem almost certainly isn't effort.

如果你正處於這種情況，我想說問題幾乎肯定不是出在努力程度上。

It's that some of the hours you're counting as study time aren't really doing very much.

問題在於，你算成學習時間的那些小時裡，有一部分其實根本沒什麼效率。

So today I want to show you the three biggest culprits that I can think of right now.

所以今天我想給大家講講我現在能想到的三個最主要的原因。

I should say up front

我得先說明一下

that I'm going to have a go at the couple of things that I personally make money from.

我打算試著做那幾樣我自己靠它們賺錢的事。

So in a way, I'm arguing against my own interests here.

所以從某種意義上說，我這是在做違背自己利益的事。

All right.

好的。

First one, then don't just watch YouTube.

首先，別隻刷YouTube了。

Now, I'm on YouTube.

現在我在 YouTube 上。

I make videos for English learners on YouTube.

我在YouTube上為英語學習者製作影片。

I would quite like you to watch my YouTube videos.

我挺希望你能看看我的YouTube影片。

So this is a strange place to start.

話說從這兒開始還挺奇怪的。

But here we are.

但事已至此。

um the thing i've noticed about youtube is youtube's job is not to improve your english

我發現YouTube的作用並不是幫你提升英語水平。

despite there being just endless resources for you to learn english

儘管供你學習英語的資源數不勝數

when you go on there its primary job is to keep you on the platform that's it

當你開啟那個平臺時，它的首要任務就是讓你一直留在上面，僅此而已。

that that's the whole business model right as much time as

這就是整個商業模式的核心，對吧，花再多時間也……

i can get this individual on this platform the more ads i can give this person to watch

我可以在這個平臺上找到這個使用者，我能給這個人推送的廣告數量就越多。

and therefore we get more money.

因此我們能拿到更多錢。

And the way you keep somebody on a platform is by giving them things that are easy to watch,

而留住平臺使用者的方法，就是給他們提供容易觀看的內容。

nice to look at and rewarding within about 11 seconds.

視覺效果出色，而且大約11秒內就能獲得滿足感。

So the algorithm watches what you enjoy,

所以演算法會觀察你喜歡的內容，

learns it very quickly and then just keeps handing you more of that stuff, which means you end up watching what you want to watch,

它很快就能學會你的喜好，然後不斷給你推送更多同類內容，這意味著你最終看到的都是自己想看的東西。

not what you need to watch.

這不是你該看的東西。

And those two things can sit very, very far apart.

這兩者之間的差距可能非常非常大。

What you want is the video where you understand everything, you feel clever.

你想要的是那種能讓你完全看懂、覺得自己很聰明的影片。

What you need is probably the one where you follow about 70 to 80 percent, have to concentrate properly on the rest,

你需要的可能是那種能聽懂70%到80%，剩下的部分需要集中注意力才能理解的內容。

and you come away a bit tired.

最後你會覺得有點累。

The algorithm them will never recommend you the tiring one over and over again.

該演算法絕不會反覆向你推薦那款令人疲憊的選項。

Tiring is bad for business for YouTube, if you think about it.

仔細想想，疲勞對YouTube的業務是不利的。

To think of a metaphor for this, for watching the easy stuff, it's a bit like getting fully kitted out for the gym.

打個比方說，看那些簡單的內容，就好比全副武裝準備去健身房一樣。

You think, oh, I'm going to go exercise.

你心裡想，哦，我要去運動了。

And you get all the new stuff to go to the gym, new trainers, the shorts, the water bottle, the little towel, you know,

你還會買一堆去健身房用的新裝備：新運動鞋、運動短褲、水杯、小毛巾，你懂的。

the lot walking all the way there in maybe the cold weather.

那群人可能冒著嚴寒一路走到那裡。

So you've done some sort of challenging things in a way to get to the gym.

所以你為了能去健身房，已經克服了不少困難。

And then standing in the lobby, you just watch everyone sweat it out through the glass panel and you don't actually do any exercise.

然後你就站在大廳裡，隔著玻璃看著大家揮汗如雨，自己卻根本不做任何運動。

I feel like that is what watching English lessons on YouTube can be like.

我覺得在YouTube上看英語課的體驗大概就是這樣。

There are some really, really good ones that make you get active as well.

還有一些特別棒的，能讓你也跟著動起來。

But the vast majority, vast, vast majority are ones that metaphor that going to the gym and just staring at people watching.

但絕大多數，絕大多數情況就好比你去了健身房，卻只是站在那兒盯著別人鍛鍊。

And I want to be clear, I'm not I'm not telling you to quit YouTube.

我得說清楚，我不是要你退出YouTube。

That'd be terrible for my business.

那對我的生意來說會是場災難。

Watching English is genuinely useful.

看英語影片真的很有用。

And it's how a lot of people stay in love with the language.

而這正是許多人始終熱愛這門語言的原因。

what I'm saying though is

不過我想說的是

if you do do this of course um what I'm saying

如果你真的這麼做了，當然，嗯，我的意思是

is stop treating the video as the whole meal it's it's the ingredients we could say

別再把影片當成整道菜了，它只是食材而已。

so you watch the thing that's fine but then do something with it

所以你先看看那個東西，這沒問題，但之後得做點什麼處理它

if it is a vocabulary video then write those phrases down actually use them in a sentence

如果是詞彙影片，就把那些短語記下來，還要實際用到句子裡。

and think strategically am I actually going to use these phrases of those ones I probably won't use those

要從策略層面思考：我真的會用到這些表達嗎？那些我大機率不會用的就不用記了。

so I'll use those ones and then go deep with those phrases

那我就用這些，然後深入研究這些短語。

so learn the nuance learn the context learn the register learn how a native actually uses those phrases

所以要學習細微差別，學習語境，學習語域，學習母語者實際是如何使用這些表達的

and then you'll be confident enough to actually give it a go

到時候你就會有足夠的信心真正去嘗試了

when those phrases arise

當那些短語出現時

or the opportunity to use those phrases arise I mean you

或者當有機會使用那些短語的時候，我是說你

could get active at the end of the video in many ways.

可以在影片結尾通過多種方式引導觀眾互動。

It's just, I don't think it's good to just treat the video as the end of the process.

我只是覺得，把影片當成整個流程的最終環節不太妥當。

Because if you watch something and then immediately click to the next thing, you haven't really studied.

因為如果你看完一個內容就立刻點進下一個，那你根本沒有真正進行學習。

You've been entertained in English, which isn't nothing, but it isn't the same.

你一直看的都是英文娛樂內容，這固然不錯，但感覺終究不一樣。

And after two years of it, you'll wonder why you're still where you started.

兩年之後，你就會納悶為什麼自己還停留在原地。

okay so that is the first one i'm gonna say try not to do.

好的，這就是我要說的第一個儘量不要去做的事。

Try not to just treat YouTube as the be all and end all, right?

別把YouTube當成萬能的終極平臺，好嗎？

Have it as the beginning point of your language learning for the day.

把它作為你當天語言學習的起點。

Okay, the second point I want to make is me having a go at my own industry.

好的，我想講的第二點是我要吐槽一下我自己所在的行業。

So conversation classes, they are brilliant.

會話課真的很棒。

I've led a lot of them.

我帶過很多這樣的人。

I love them personally, if I'm learning Spanish, I want to have conversation classes.

我個人非常喜歡這種方式，如果我學西班牙語的話，我會想要上會話課。

And I love them.

而且我很喜歡它們。

I think most people should have them.

我覺得大多數人都應該擁有它們。

But there is a trap sitting inside them.

但它們內部暗藏著一個陷阱。

And I've watched a lot of people walk straight into it, myself included, when learning Spanish.

我見過很多人在學習西班牙語時直接踩進這個坑，我自己也不例外。

And the trap is that you slowly start to believe it's the teacher's job to make you fluent, right?

而陷阱就在於，你會慢慢開始相信，讓你流利掌握這門語言是老師的責任，不是嗎？

It happens quietly and

它悄然發生，

and you know you book your class it's on thursday you

你也知道，你預約的課是週四的。

you turn up you have a lovely hour your teacher is

你一到場，就和老師度過了愉快的一小時。

encouraging uh you leave feeling good about yourself well done me

很鼓舞人心，嗯，你離開的時候會對自己感覺很好，我做得真棒。

and then for the next six days there's this little voice

接下來的六天裡，耳邊一直有個小小的聲音在迴響。

in the back of your head going it's fine i've got my class I'm on track

你心裡一直想著，沒事的，我已經掌握了這門課的內容，進度也跟得上。

so you you occasionally skip the daily exercise

所以你偶爾會跳過日常鍛鍊

that you may have done before

你之前可能做過的

because you didn't have those classes um you you might not do

因為你沒上過那些課，所以可能做不來。

so much reading and you don't do the speaking practice either

讀了這麼多書，你連口語練習也不做啊

because you know I've got the conversation class

因為你知道我有會話課

because you've already paid you've already paid for the progress and it's scheduled it's scheduled on Thursday and unless

因為你已經為這項進度付款了，而且它已經安排在週四，除非

you're wealthy enough to have a one-on-one lesson every single day, which, you know, most of us aren't,

你已經有錢到可以每天都上一對一私教課了，要知道我們大多數人可沒這個條件。

that means you're doing about one hour a week, maybe two hours a week of English,

也就是說你每週花在英語上的時間大概是一個小時，可能兩個小時。

you know, the lessons, and you're expecting that one to two hours to carry you through to the next level.

你知道的，那些課程，你總指望那一兩個小時的學習就能讓自己更上一層樓。

And even if you are doing that, even if you've got the money and the time

即便你真的打算這麼做，即便你已經有了足夠的資金和時間

and you're in there five days a week with this poor

而你每週有五天都要和這個可憐的人待在一起

teacher joking i'm sure the teacher would be thrilled to have a lesson with an individual every day um

老師是在開玩笑啦，我敢肯定要是每天都能給一個學生單獨上課，老師肯定會特別開心的。

but there's a second problem underneath that um there are whole skills

但這背後還有第二個問題，那就是涉及到一整套技能。

that just quietly never come up in a conversation class

這種話題在會話課上根本就不會被提及。

because your teacher most most teachers understandably um they feel like

因為你的老師，絕大多數老師，很正常地，嗯，他們會覺得

100

they need to give you what you want you know you're paying, you've had a long day at work,

他們總得給你你想要的東西吧，畢竟你是付了錢的，而且你今天上班已經累了一整天。

101

you'd like a nice chat about your weekend and a few corrections at the end.

你會希望先愉快地聊聊週末的趣事，最後再得到一些修改建議。

102

So that's what happens.

原來如此。

103

And it's lovely, but it's the exact same problem as the YouTube problem I mentioned before,

這確實很不錯，但它和我之前提到的YouTube問題完全是同一個問題。

104

but just with a human face on it and you're paying for it, right?

只不過是套了層人的外皮，而且你還得為此花錢，是吧？

105

Because if you think about it, it's actually pretty rare as an adult to have a teacher

仔細想想就會發現，成年之後還能遇到一位真正的老師，其實是件挺難得的事。

106

who will make you do the thing you need to do rather than the thing you fancy doing.

誰會督促你去做你該做的事，而不是你一時興起想做的事。

107

Nobody's forcing you in this.

沒人逼你做這件事。

108

There's no exam in September unless you're doing an IELTS or something like that.

九月份沒有考試，除非你要考雅思或者類似的考試。

109

There's no parents evening where you'll be told off by your parents and your teacher.

再也不會有家長會讓你同時被家長和老師批評了。

110

Nobody's ringing your mum to tell you off, right?

又沒人會打電話給你媽告狀說你壞話，對吧？

111

You've got a friendly person who wants to enjoy the hour with you

你身邊有個友善的人，想和你共度這一小時的美好時光。

112

and a version of yourself who'd quite like to avoid the uncomfortable bit.

還有一個總想避開那些令人不適的部分的自己。

113

Those two people get on very, very well.

那兩個人相處得非常非常融洽。

114

And between them, they can keep you at the exact same level for years while everyone's just having a nice time.

而他們聯手就能讓你好幾年都停在原地，一點進步都沒有，所有人還都覺得日子過得挺舒服。

115

So the way I'd put it, if you want to have conversation classes is the lesson is almost like the exam.

所以我是這麼認為的，如果你想開設會話課，那課程的形式幾乎要和考試一樣。

116

It's not the revision.

這不是修訂版的問題。

117

It's where you find out what's working and what isn't.

你能從中發現哪些方法行得通，哪些行不通。

118

The actual learning happens in all the quiet,

真正的學習都發生在那些安靜的時刻裡。

119

unglamorous bits in between when nobody's watching and nobody's charging you for it.

那些沒人關注、也沒人向你收費的平淡瑣碎的中間環節。

120

And if you want to get more out of the class that you might be paying for, I'd turn up with something specific in mind, not can we just have a chat,

如果你想讓你花錢上的課更有收穫，最好帶著明確的目標去，而不是隻想著隨便聊聊天。

121

something you've been struggling with.

你一直為之困擾的事。

122

Think about that and focus on that for your lessons.

請考慮這一點，並在你的課程中重點關注這一點。

123

Make your teacher's job easier and they'll give you the difficult version, which is the one you need, right?

讓老師的工作輕鬆一點，他們就會給你難度更高的版本，而那才是你真正需要的，不是嗎？

124

Right, so I've now told you that the two most popular ways to study English are both a bit of a trap,

好，我現在已經跟你說過，最流行的兩種學英語的方法其實都有點像陷阱，

125

which is a rude thing to do to you, isn't it?

這對你來說是很不禮貌的行為，不是嗎？

126

But let me explain what's actually going on underneath, because it's the same thing both times.

但讓我解釋一下背後的實際原理，因為這兩次的情況本質上是一樣的。

127

If you didn't know, maybe you do, but you know, we're this far in, I'm going to keep going.

要是你之前還不清楚，或許現在已經明白了，不過你也知道，我們都已經走到這一步了，我會繼續堅持下去。

128

Learning has two modes, consuming and creating.

學習有兩種模式，輸入吸收與輸出創造。

129

You need both.

兩者你都需要。

130

And generally, you consume before you can create.

通常來說，你得先吸收，才能進行創作。

131

That bit's fine and normal.

那部分沒問題，很正常。

132

But almost everybody I meet is wildly overweight on the consuming side with their language learning.

但我遇到的幾乎所有人，在語言學習這件事上，輸入的量都遠遠超過了輸出。

133

So, you know, podcasts, videos, Netflix, articles, more podcasts, this podcast,

所以，你懂的，播客、影片、網飛、文章、更多播客，還有這個播客。

134

another podcast, hours and hours of stuff going in and then almost nothing back out.

又一檔播客節目，源源不斷地輸入大量內容，輸出的成果卻寥寥無幾。

135

And that's the whole problem with the two things I've just moaned about, though they fail in slightly different ways.

這就是我剛才吐槽的這兩件事的全部問題所在，儘管它們出問題的方式略有不同。

136

YouTube is pure consuming.

YouTube 純粹是用來消耗時間的。

137

It goes in, nothing comes out.

東西進去了，什麼也沒出來。

138

And it feels like study because English is arriving in your brain at speed

而且那種感覺就像在學習，因為英語正快速湧入你的大腦。

139

and it's all jazzed up to look like this is all good for me.

而且一切都被粉飾得好像這對我全是好事一樣。

140

The class though, the class is different

不過這門課，這門課不一樣。

141

and I want to be fair to teachers out there including myself

我也想對所有老師公平一點，包括我自己。

142

because a good one will have you talking far more than

因為一個好的（對話物件）會讓你聊得遠比……多得多

143

they do that's the actual job right of a conversation class

他們確實是這麼做的，這本來就是會話課的真正任務啊。

144

but you can be doing plenty of talking

但你完全可以多說說話

145

and still not be stretched what usually happens is you get

而且依然不會感到緊繃，通常會出現的情況是你會

146

comfortable same friendly person same friendly small talk same handful of subjects all built out of language you already own.

同樣自在、同樣友善的人，同樣友好的閒聊，同樣是那幾個話題，全都建立在你已經掌握的語言基礎之上。

147

So you're creating, absolutely yes you are creating, you're just creating the things you could already say a year ago

所以你確實在創作，毫無疑問你在創作，只是你創作的都是一年前你就已經能表達出來的東西。

148

and not getting pushed anywhere near the bits you find genuinely hard.

也不會被安排去接觸那些你真正覺得困難的部分。

149

I am oversimplifying things to some degree

我在某種程度上把事情過於簡化了。

150

but there is a definite valid point in both of these things that I'm telling you.

但我跟你說的這兩件事，每一件都有其明確且合理的道理。

151

So yes one of them barely asks you to produce anything

所以沒錯，其中有一個幾乎不要求你產出任何東西。

152

and the other asks you in only the comfortable places right i want to

另一個只會在你感到自在的時候才向你提出要求，對吧，我就想這樣

153

double down on the fact

咬定這一事實不放

154

that classes aren't really the villain in this story the problem is

問題的根源其實不在於課程本身，它們並不是這件事裡的罪魁禍首。

155

that we hand it the entire job one hour a week

我們每週花一個小時把全部工作交給它處理

156

and we quietly expect

而我們默默期待著

157

that hour to do all the heavy lifting the the stretching

那一個小時裡要完成所有高強度訓練和拉伸動作。

158

the correcting the new vocabulary the the confidence the accent the lot No single hour can carry all of that,

糾正新詞彙、提升自信心、改善口音，要做的事情太多了，單靠一個小時根本完成不了所有這些目標。

159

no matter how good that teacher is.

無論那位老師有多好。

160

Just one hour or two hours a week at your level,

以你的水平，每週只花一兩個小時就行

161

intermediate and above, you're not going to get further with just one to two sessions of English practice a week.

中級及以上水平的學習者，僅靠每週一到兩次的英語練習是無法取得進一步進步的。

162

Sorry to say.

很遺憾地告知您。

163

I feel like with any skill to really progress, you need to be doing it three times a week.

我覺得任何技能想要真正取得進步，每週都得練習三次才行。

164

It doesn't have to be three hours, but minimum, at minimum, three sessions a week.

不一定非要三個小時，但每週至少要保證三次。

165

So a class works brilliantly sitting on top of a pile of your own stuff that you do.

所以，當一個類建立在你自己編寫的大量程式碼之上時，它的執行效果會非常出色。

166

It just can't do very much when it is the pile, right?

輪到堆牌階段時，它根本就沒什麼用，對吧？

167

Now I want to talk about the active versus passive thing, because a lot of people think that active means speaking.

現在我想談談主動與被動的區別，因為很多人認為主動就意味著開口說。

168

it can

它可以

169

but it doesn't require you to be with a person it

但這並不要求你必須和某個人在一起

170

doesn't need to be in a class with an audience

不需要在有聽眾的課堂上進行

171

or any um it doesn't require courage whatsoever really active just

或者說，這根本不需要什麼勇氣，真的，只需要行動起來就行。

172

means your brain is putting words together into sentences instead of receiving sentences that are already finished

這意味著你的大腦正在將詞語組合成句子，而不是接收已經完成的句子。

173

so it could be just thinking right genuinely just thinking in english on the bus

所以說不定就只是在想事情而已，真的就是在公交車上用英語思考而已。

174

that counts just completing a full sentence in your head from

這甚至包括你在腦子裡完整地說完一句話的情況

175

start to finish it i mean it could be thinking it

開始完成它吧，我是說你可以好好琢磨一下這件事。

176

could be writing writing is a really good way to get active it could be talking to yourself

可以是寫作，寫作是一種非常好的讓自己活躍起來的方式，也可以是自言自語。

177

while you're cooking why not right it could be complaining to a chat bot why your internet provider absolutely sucks.

做飯的時候，你完全可以跟聊天機器人吐槽你的網路運營商到底有多爛。

178

It could be a language partner or your teacher

可能是語伴，也可能是你的老師。

179

or small talk in a shop or a voice note to a friend or explaining your job to somebody at a party.

比如在商店裡的閒聊、給朋友發的語音訊息，或是在聚會上向別人介紹自己的工作。

180

The list goes on, right?

這樣的例子還有很多，對吧？

181

My point here is that a lot of people think, oh, I've got to pay for a speaking class to be able to get active with my English.

我想說的是，很多人都覺得，哎呀，我得花錢報口語班才能把英語用起來。

182

There are many ways to do it.

做這件事有很多種方法。

183

Those are a few.

以上只是幾個例子。

184

So I'd say consuming English feels like learning, but creating with English is the actual learning.

所以我會說，用英語輸入資訊的過程感覺像是在學習，但用英語進行輸出創造才是真正的學習。

185

It's the bit where you're actually in the gym and you're sweating it out.

就是你真的待在健身房裡揮汗如雨的那段時刻。

186

Right.

對。

187

And the rule I'd give you is a small one, but it changes things quite substantially if you actually do it.

我要給你的這條規則雖小，但如果你真的照著做，就能帶來很大的改變。

188

So consume, then create.

先吸收，再創造。

189

Consume, then create.

先吸收，再創造。

190

Don't consume, then consume, then consume.

不要一味地消費、消費、再消費。

191

After the podcast, say something out loud.

播客結束後，大聲說點什麼。

192

After the article, write three sentences.

在這篇文章之後，寫三句話。

193

After the video, use four of the expressions.

影片播放結束後，請使用其中四個表達。

194

It doesn't need to be long.

不需要太長。

195

It just needs to be fairly immediate and it needs to happen every single time.

它只需要反應足夠快，而且每次都要穩定觸發。

196

so quickly um don't let the algorithm on youtube pick your homework also i should add

對了，還有一點要補充，別讓YouTube的演算法替你選作業，那速度太快了。

197

if you're using short form like youtube shorts instagram reels tiktoks you're asking for for trouble there

如果你在使用短影片形式，比如YouTube Shorts、Instagram Reels、TikTok，那你就是在自找麻煩。

198

because what they're doing is over stimulating you with dopamine

因為他們所做的就是用多巴胺過度刺激你

199

so you're getting addicted to the learning videos

所以你現在迷上學習影片了？

200

and really you're not giving yourself enough time to process the actual education

而且實際上，你沒有給自己足夠的時間去消化真正的知識內容。

201

and you're certainly going from consumption to consumption to consumption when

你肯定是在一個接一個地不斷消費，從這一項消費到下一項消費，根本停不下來。

202

if you are able to watch a very highly stimulating and rewarding TikTok and then,

如果你剛看完一段讓人極度興奮、充滿愉悅感的TikTok影片，然後，

203

you know, at the end of it, not just swipe up and go to the next one.

你懂的，說到底，別隻是劃一下就跳到下一個了。

204

You're a better person than me.

你比我人好。

205

I would struggle to stop that video and then do the active thing and then come back and do the active thing.

我很難做到先停下影片，去做那件該做的事，再回來繼續做那件事。

206

If you can, that's good.

如果你能做到，那很好。

207

It's like bite sized learning.

這就像碎片化學習一樣。

208

but yeah don't let your algorithm pick your homework

不過說真的，別讓演算法替你寫作業。

209

because it's optimizing for your attention and not for your english

因為它最佳化的目標是吸引你的注意力，而不是提升你的英語水平。

210

and don't hand the whole job to one class

也別把所有任務都交給同一個班級來做

211

or one conversation class a week

或者每週一節會話課

212

because no single hour can carry all of the progress needed

因為沒有任何一個小時能夠承載所有所需的進展

213

and underneath both watch the balance between what's going in

同時還要留意兩者之間的投入與產出平衡。

214

and what's coming out because for most people out there there is far too much going in

而輸出的內容又是什麼，因為對大多數人來說，他們接收的資訊實在太多了。

215

and almost nothing coming back so those are the three

而且幾乎沒有任何反饋，所以就是這三點。

216

and the thing about all of them is

它們所有的共同之處在於

that they're free you don't need anyone else for any of it you can close this app right now

它們是免費的，這一切你都不需要依賴任何人，你現在就可以關掉這個應用。

218

and um yeah start doing every single one of those three this afternoon and if you can do that honestly,

219

off you go with my blessing.

帶著我的祝福出發吧。

220

If you've got the patience

221

and the willpower to keep finding new ways to get active

222

with your English on a hot sticky Tuesday in August when work's been rubbish and nobody's checking in on you,

在八月一個悶熱黏膩的週二，工作一團糟，也沒人來關心你，就用你那點英語吧。

223

then you're genuinely a brilliant learner and you'll be absolutely fine.

那你真的是非常有天賦的學習者，肯定會學得很好。

224

But if you're sat there going,

225

yes, lovely, but I cannot see myself inventing active exercises learning exercises for myself every day

是啊，這主意不錯，但我實在沒法想像自己每天都給自己設計主動練習、學習練習啊。

226

and if you know deep down that your motivation turns up in bursts

如果你內心深處知道自己的動力總是一陣一陣的

227

and then vanishes for three weeks at a time

然後就會一連消失三個星期。

228

which is true for most people by the way including myself

順便說一句，這對大多數人來說都是如此，包括我自己。

229

um then i really think you should try my academy at least try it okay

嗯，那我真的覺得你應該試試我的學院，至少體驗一下好嗎？

230

because those tips i've mentioned aren't separate from what i've built they're the reason it exists.

因為我提到的那些技巧和我所搭建的東西並非相互獨立，它們正是這套體系得以存在的原因。

231

I built the whole thing around exactly this problem,

我整個方案就是圍繞這個問題搭建的。

232

which is that people know they should be getting active and they don't because they're tired and it's boring and nobody's

問題在於人們明明知道應該動起來，卻因為太累、太無聊，而且沒人一起……所以遲遲不行動。

233

asked them to, right?

是你讓他們這麼做的，對吧？

234

So inside my academy, everything runs on this loop.

所以在我的學院裡，所有事情都按照這個迴圈運轉。

235

You take something in, you do something with it, you find out what went wrong, then you use it with actual human beings and my point being is

你先接收資訊，進行處理，找出問題所在，然後再將其應用到實際場景中，我的意思是

236

that you don't have to design any of these exercises each day you just show up

你每天都不需要設計這些練習，只要到場就行。

237

and the active bit happens to you

然後啟用位就會作用於你

238

and you can try the whole thing for a whole month for five pounds

您只需支付五英鎊，即可體驗全部服務整整一個月。

239

if it clicks with you you'll you'll know within that month and if it doesn't you've Spent about what?

如果你們合得來，那個月之內你就會知道；要是合不來，你也就花了大概多少時間而已？

240

The amount you get from a coffee and a pastry, if you're lucky.

運氣好的話，你點一杯咖啡加一份糕點能拿到的量也就這麼多。

241

My coffee the other day was close to five pounds.

前幾天我買的咖啡快五英鎊了。

242

So, yes, I do want to stress, though, it's ideally a place for upper intermediate to lower advanced learners.

不過我還是要強調一下，這裡最適合中高階到初級高階水平的學習者。

243

But there are plenty of B1 and C2 learners who get a lot out of it, too. So, yeah, that's it.

但也有很多B1和C2級別的學習者從中收穫頗豐。所以，就是這樣。

244

I know you might be thinking, I like to listen to this podcast for my listening practice.

我知道你可能會想，我喜歡聽這個播客來練習聽力。

245

Why has he spent that episode telling me what I should be doing

246

and then encouraging me to sign up to his paid membership?

247

And I obviously get that.

248

I really do.

249

But from my side of things, I want to see you improve your English.

250

Like, yes, I do need paying members to be able to afford my life.

251

but I've taught one-to-one lessons created a bunch of self-study courses held immersion courses in person

但我教過一對一課程，製作過大量自學課程，還親自舉辦過沉浸式課程。

252

and really the the quickest and best solution

253

that I am seeing people get results from is my academy

我看到很多人取得成效的地方就是我的學院。

254

so I think

所以我認為

255

if you are wanting to improve your English then give the trial a go to see

256

if you like it and I'll say one more thing um this trial I'm offering it actually it actually impacts me negatively.

如果你感興趣，我再補充一點，我提供的這個試用活動實際上會對我產生不利影響。

257

Like I do a lot of individual marking for each student.

我會給每個學生做大量的單獨評分。

258

So if I was paid five pounds for a month of that, I think it's like I'm getting paid one pound an hour.

所以如果我幹一個月這種活只能拿到五英鎊的話，算下來大概時薪只有一英鎊。

259

Yeah, not much.

260

So the trial is very much putting me out.

這場庭審真的讓我非常心煩意亂。

261

And if you stay, it's because you found a community that is helping you improve your English faster. So

262

it's a win-win for both of us there we have it

263

i'll um be releasing a conversational interview with emma from pronunciation

264

with emma next week it was good fun recording it

265

so yeah look out for that one for your listening practice

266

but yeah if you're interested in the trial to the academy head to the britishenglishpodcast.com slash academy trial

268

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
