Taboos to Language Learning
Monday, 16. April 2007, 08:18:48
This morning i posted a blog on 语言学习忌(Taboos to Language Learning), what i am worrying about now is that it was written in Chinese, and that's the very problem as most of my friends here could not read Chinese, now, i am trying to supplement, and here is the translation:)
1. Focus on Learning Methods and Tips, never do the real things. The application of language is a kind of skill which could not be obtained by mastering tips, even that too much attention on methods and tips could drain us plenty of time and energy, which should have been spent on the contents of learning itself.
2. Speed and efficiency first, no repeat. Like every skill becoming of an ability, repeat is very very important, and language learning also needs continuing repeat, repeat of what we have learnt. And that is accord with the law of memory.
3. No perseverance. Difficulties are everywhere, there are no easy things to do. Those who have succeeded in language learning do not beated by difficulties, oppositely they always hold perseverance.
4. Ignore listening skills. Language could be sensed by sound, which acts on our brain firstly. If we don't do listening practice, but only do silently reading and reciting, we could hardly understand what the foreigners say or improve the reading level.
5. No practice. Language should be practised in real situation, and that's the goal to learn.
Want to improve yourself? Try to practise and hold interests in learning, that's the point!
