I. The Foundation of Language Learning
1. Immerse yourself daily
Practice "5-minute English" every morning (e.g., news headlines, song lyrics)
Label household items with English words
Switch phone/computer language to English
2. Active listening techniques
Watch TED talks with subtitles (first Chinese → then English → finally none)
Use the "shadowing method": Repeat after audio with 1-second delay
II. Vocabulary Building Strategies
The 3×5 Card System
Front: New word + example sentence
Back: Definition + personal memory cue
Review cards during idle moments (elevator rides, queues)
Contextual Learning
Learn words in thematic groups (e.g., airport vocabulary: boarding pass, departure gate)
Create mind maps connecting related terms
III. Speaking with Confidence
1. Overcome the fear barrier
Practice with AI assistants (like me!) or language exchange apps
Record yourself speaking and analyze pronunciation
2. The "3-3-3" Practice Routine
3 minutes of self-introduction (vary topics daily)
3-minute impromptu speech on random topics
3-minute Q&A simulation
Remember friends:
Language is not a wall to climb, but a bridge to build. Every English word you learn is another brick in your bridge to the world.
Let's build bridges together! Thank you.
