Today we have another episode of English Extras.
今天我们带来新一期的《英语加餐》节目。
6
This podcast is to help intermediate and advanced learners improve their English.
7
And today, once again, I have my question jar.
8
This question jar related to learning English.
9
So let's see what we get today.
10
Thank you.
11
Okay, today's question is, do you really need to study English every day?
12
Do you really need to study English every day?
13
Okay, this is an interesting question.
14
This is actually a question that I get pretty often.
15
So let's talk about it.
16
So very often...
17
when I am live streaming.
18
And currently I live stream twice a week for everyone, Fridays and Sundays.
19
I very often get asked about My advice to improve English.
20
Usually my advice is find what works for you.
21
Find what you can do with English consistently.
22
I really talk about and push this idea of connecting with English,
23
every day and having good habits that let you connect with English every single day.
24
I want to be clear.
25
I'm not talking about studying.
26
English every single day.
27
You do not have to have a textbook or a course or a class to learn English.
28
So I believe that you do not have to study English every day,
29
but I do think you should use English every day.
30
So I have a couple of tips for you about how to do this, because I do think it's important.
31
And before I give you these tips, I will explain why I think this is important.
32
So the difference between studying and using.
33
Studying is a very focused active practice.
34
Think things like classes, courses, grammar drills, writing practice, things like this.
35
That's studying.
36
That is active, focused, practice versus using English.
37
Using English is more organic less structured,
38
more natural, and it's more about exposure and engagement.
39
So thinking things like YouTube videos that are about topics you're interested in,
40
not grammar, not lessons, just something you find interesting.
41
Or Watching a movie or a TV show.
42
Listening to music.
43
These are all ways to use English.
44
Personally, I think that using English
45
Meaning having consistent exposure
46
and engagement with the language is the key to real fluency versus the kind of memorization that comes from school and studying.
47
Now, here's the thing.
48
I do understand that daily routines are busy.
49
You have a lot to do.
50
You're working hard or you have a family or you're working hard and you have a family.
51
And also things like motivation changes.
52
Like motivation is not reliable.
53
I actually have an entire episode about that, about why you shouldn't.
54
rely on motivation, I believe that even small moments count.
55
Actually, I think small moments are the most important
56
because it's small moments that make up the fabric of our day -to -day lives.
57
So the question is, how can you make English part of your life?
58
without making it a chore.
59
So let's get to those tips.
60
Tip number one is turn your passive time into English time.
61
So what I mean by that is While you're doing something else, Like...
62
Doing chores.
63
Cooking dinner.
64
going to work, exercising.
65
While you're doing things that are already part of your daily life,
66
these kind of like, dead moments or the dead time in your life listen to something in English.
67
to a podcast, a YouTube video, music.
68
If you're going to be doing something else anyway, you might as well put English on in the background.
69
You don't have to focus on it.
70
But bringing it into your life helps keep the language alive.
71
It's about consistent exposure which is more important than focus.
72
I think.
73
So you don't have to focus on it.
74
You don't have to worry about it.
75
Just have it in the background.
76
Let your brain do its thing.
77
Because your brain will find patterns even if you're not consciously thinking about it.
78
My second tip is to switch one small thing to English.
79
So switching your phone, like the entire phone, to English might be a bit much,
80
but switch the language of a single app to English.
81
Not something important like your banking app or anything like that, but something you use consistently, like social media.
82
Actually, social media can be a fantastic way to bring English naturally into your daily life.
83
follow accounts on social media, in English, read the comments in English,
84
or put on English captions.
85
All of these are small bite -sized ways to bring English into your life naturally.
86
Tip number three is to make English part of your inner world.
87
So what do I mean by inner world?
88
So something that I hear a lot is how do I improve my speaking?
89
I can understand, but I can't speak.
90
I recommend.
91
something like this.
92
Make English part of your inner world.
93
Start narrating your life your day -to -day life in English.
94
even silently to yourself in your head.
95
Start telling yourself what you're doing.
96
You would be surprised how effective
97
this exercise is because you will very quickly start to realize gaps in your vocabulary or in your grammar.
98
Another way is to write short notes or to -do lists in English.
99
So when you are planning your work day or planning your week, write your to -do lists in English.
100
or if you like to journal, or keep a diary.
101
Do that in English.
102
And also, I think, don't be afraid to mix English with your native language.
103
We live in a multilingual world.
104
People already mix English with their native languages.
105
So don't be afraid to start mixing English expressions in with your native language.
106
Encourage yourself in English.
107
Tell yourself that I can do this.
108
I got this.
109
Talking to yourself positively in English can help you boost your fluency,
110
make you more confident, make you feel better about the language, which in turn helps you stay more consistent,
111
which helps you build fluency.
112
It's a nice little self -fulfilling cycle.
113
In general, I think that it's not about studying daily.
114
English daily.
115
The important thing here is that small steps add up.
116
It's about the 1 % every day.
117
That's what will help you become fluent.
118
I think that true fluency comes from consistent exposure,
119
consistent engagement, not focused studying.
120
So keep these three tips in mind.
121
Turn your passive time into English time, switch small things to English,
122
and make English part of your inner world.
123
You don't have to aim for perfect discipline, aim for connection.
124
Let English live alongside you, with you.
125
It's not just something you do for a few hours every week.
126
Make it something you do consistently throughout your day.
127
So I'm curious, let me know what do you do with English?
128
What are your current English daily habits?
129
How do you bring English into your daily life?
130
If you don't currently, engage with English every day.
131
What are some ways that you could bring English into your daily life?
132
What does that look like for you?
133
Make sure to drop me a comment to let me know.
134
As always, thanks for being here, my friends.
135
Until next time, bye you

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?
练习口语是提高英语流利度的重要途径。视频中的讨论不仅探讨了学习英语的方式,还强调了每天使用英语的重要性。通过看YouTube学英语,学习者能够自然地接触到实际对话和真实场景中的表达。这样的互动不仅激发了学习动机,还帮助你在生活中实时运用英语,从而更深入地理解语言的使用和文化背景。
语法与表达的背景分析
在视频中,讲者使用了一些重要的句型和表达。以下是几个关键结构的分析:
- “Do you really need to study English every day?”:这个问题引导听众思考学习英语的必要性,为接下来的讨论奠定基础。
- “Find what works for you.”:这句话强调了个体化学习的重要性,鼓励学习者探索适合自己的学习方式。
- “You do not have to have a textbook...”:通过这一表达,讲者指出,学习英语并不一定要依赖传统的学习材料.
这些句型可以帮助学习者更好地理解英语口语的表达方式,尤其是在进行shadow speak和英语影子跟读的练习中。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中,讲者使用的某些词汇和短语可能对学习者造成发音障碍。以下是几点需要注意的内容:
- “English”:发音时,注意“ng”的音,确保声音从鼻腔发出。
- “study”和“every”:这些词的重音位置可能会影响流利度,需要进行多次重复练习。
- “exposure”:此词在快速发音时,可能容易发错,尤其是在连读的情况下。
通过以上分析,学习者可以更有效地进行英语发音练习。结合视频内容,进行提高英语发音的训练,有助于在真实交流中显得更加自然。
什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
