Tell me about your English learning methods, not speed, as long as the effect is good, mainly listening, in addition to listening to this well-known answer,

Do you know that improving English listening needs six different stages?

Chris Long Feihu, an internationally renowned psychologist, linguist and educator, explains the six stages of English listening:

English listening stage 1, listening vaguely

English listening stage 2, listening clearly-English filtering has been established

English listening stage 3, accurately predicting the coming content

English listening stage 4, direct understanding without translation

English listening stage 5. Sing along

English listening stage 6. Speak

First of all, when you first come into contact with new content, you will find that it sounds very vague, and there are many sounds that you can't catch, so you can't remember at all. Therefore, the first stage of English listening should be done: listening vaguely. In this stage of English listening, you should never deliberately remember, let alone rely on words. Why? If you rely on words, your brain will become very lazy, and your attention will be focused on words, so you will neglect to improve your listening ability. When the content is vague, you should listen to it as many times as possible. Of course, you can listen to it as required by the number of times Kung Fu English has been provided, or you can listen to it more times on purpose. . . . Until you enter the second English stage, this English listening stage is called: begin to hear clearly.

When you enter the second English listening stage, the vague English gradually becomes clear, and you can hear every sound and syllable, as if you have just washed your ears, which reflects that your brain has established your English filtering. You will remember that it is a very important and indispensable step to experience English filtering, so it can be said that the alias of the second English listening stage is: English filtering has been established.

After listening clearly, if you continue listening for several times, you will find a new phenomenon, as if you can predict the coming sounds and syllables. Before hearing each recording, your head seems to be playing the coming content in your mind. You remember that an important function of the language learning center is statistics. Then this phenomenon reflects that your language learning center is already mastering the probability of English content, which is your basic skill of being flexible in English. Remember, the third stage of English listening is called accurate prediction.

When you enter the accurately predicted English listening stage, you will soon enter the fourth English listening stage, that is, you can understand the meaning of English directly without translation at all. When you enter this English listening stage, you have heard it many times, and you don't need translation at all. As soon as you hear the content, your heart will understand what it means. After you enter this English listening stage, although you can directly feel the meaning of English, it is very likely that you can't translate it into Chinese quickly, so this is a mistake. The purpose of learning English is to be able to directly know what English means without translation. Translation is a follow-up effort, and you can start thinking about it after you are completely comfortable with English.

Singing along means that when you listen to English songs, your brain naturally provides the phrases of each song, and these phrases are the core content of English you want to learn. Therefore, when you study, it is easy to listen and sing along.

After you have gone through five stages of English listening, you will reach the stage of English listening where you graduated wonderfully, that is, the stage of speaking. Entering the sixth stage of English listening is not deliberate, but spontaneous. How do you know that you have entered the sixth stage of English listening? There are two obvious phenomena. First of all, you may find that English phrases are suddenly spoken in your mouth unintentionally, and your subconscious is practicing there by yourself. The phrase song you have been listening to appears in your mind, and you can easily say that you have heard it many times. The second phenomenon is that when you enter a scene, you may go shopping, or ask for directions, etc., you will unconsciously find that appropriate English appears in your mind, and you don't need to think about it at all. These contents naturally flow out of your mouth, and at this stage of English listening, these English will belong to you.

To sum up the six stages of English listening, first of all, the first stage is: listening vaguely, the second stage is: starting to listen clearly, the third stage is: your mind predicts the following content, the fourth stage is: you understand directly without translation, the fifth stage is: singing along, and the sixth stage is: graduation. If you use these six stages of English listening as your road map, you will always know how much you have learned from any content, so you can enjoy the natural growth of learning English with confidence.

so how to practice? Mr. Long Feihu put forward a very efficient method, that is, the learning method of comprehensible input. What is comprehensible input?

comprehensible input means that if you understand what you are listening to or watching through different channels, such as environmental signals or if you have mastered more than 95% of the meaning, even if you haven't heard a few words or phrases, your brain will easily remember them because you already know the meaning of communication. On the other hand, if there is no signal to help you understand what you are listening to or watching, or if your understanding of the communication meaning is less than 95%, then you don't understand it, so your brain won't help you remember the new content. It can be said that the result of incomprehensible input is that you will never learn it. You can understand it this way. If you often learn English that you can't understand at all, such as listening to materials from English before Chinese, or reading English books that you don't understand, you will feel particularly frustrated and you can't learn much. On the contrary, if you have mastered more than 95% of English content, you can use this material to learn. Why? The main reason is that your brain will help you guess what you don't understand, and then help you remember the general meaning.

Let's experience the effect of this method together:

1. First, you can take out your usual listening materials, pick out one of them, listen to the English content once, and remember how much you understand;

2. Read the Chinese materials corresponding to the English content and get familiar with the content;

3. Listen to the English content again after reading Chinese, and compare the feelings just now and now. Do you feel that you understand more?
