"Learn any foreign language in six months" - Linguist "Long Feihu"

The reason why you can’t learn well is because you are always learning simple grammar or one-sided words and sentences. This does not require you to have any language talent. It is wrong to simply leave yourself abroad and learn it quickly.

As long as through reasonable methods, everyone can learn a foreign language in six months.

1. Learn closely related things first

2. Treat language as a tool, and learning through "use" can enhance your feedback and confidence.

3. Secret: After understanding the meaning first, you will automatically "acquire" the foreign language

4. Physiological training: Exercise the muscles of the ears and mouth

5. Good A relaxed attitude can help you remember in the long term, while a bad attitude will close the channels for learning.

Be sure of every step you achieve and endure the stages when you don’t understand.

1. Listen to "soak your brain" for at least 30 minutes a day: your brain will filter out syllables you are not familiar with.

2. Understand the meaning first and then "obtain" the word: use body language, the overall environment, guessing, and bilingual annotations to understand the meaning to quickly subconsciously learn

3. Use bold combinations and a large number of words: Normal communication only requires simple "life grammar"

1) The order of words, "I like you" and "You like me" have completely opposite meanings.

2) "Small logic", fixed or semi-fixed phrases that connect different meanings, such as "if...then..." in English.

3) "Word particles", used to represent prefixes and suffixes of different states. (English: ed=past)

4) Use metaphors to uncover the mysteries of meanings that cannot be deciphered by complex "academic grammar" (see "Proficient metaphors to integrate into foreign language culture" in Behavior 7 for details).

4. Start learning from the core high-frequency content: 3,000 words can solve 98% of the communication, it’s more important than quality: quality first, quantity second

5. Find language parents : Will create an environment where you can understand input: help you gradually develop your sense of language, and give you correct feedback in a comfortable way. Be sure to find people who enjoy communicating with you so that you can have a good learning environment with understandable input and "no criticism."

Narrow input: Repeat the same type of content many times and communicate with you in his usual way of speaking. Therefore, you can quickly master these expression rules. If the scope is too broad, the effect will be poor.

6. Pronunciation trick: Connect the sound you hear with the feeling of your facial muscles and tongue

"Look at the face and speak": It means imitating the face and mouth shape of the native speaker of the foreign language. Come practice pronunciation.

Pronunciation is accurate and then practice spelling rules.

7. Only by connecting the sounds of the foreign language with the meaning of the inner picture can the subconscious learn efficiently. That is, when communicating in a foreign language, the feeling and effect of your own communication are the same as speaking your native language.

01 Deliberately create and use pictures;

02 Use metaphors to find the essence of meaning: breakfast consists of two words, one is break, which means to interrupt. The other one is fast, which means hunger strike. Therefore, break fast means to stop the hunger strike, which is a metaphor for stopping the hunger strike that lasted the whole night, and now start eating, which is breakfast.

On the basis of complete familiarity and understanding, watch it again, with only the English sound playing and no subtitles. The purpose is to evaluate how much you can understand.

This time, when listening and watching, you must use a "brain-soaking" mentality to comprehensively understand the expressive meaning of the movie from all information, including rhythm, melody, phrases, metaphors, expressions, etc., from multiple elements.
