Talk about the results of recently practicing: input + output + feedback + high-frequency scene repetition + learning methods without a native language fallback.
WEB3 English can be said to be the most important link; even the two richest people argued in English last night, revealing some clues!
I firmly believe that with this method, I should be able to learn English well within a year.
First of all, under this thinking and logic: https://x.com/Bitwux/status/2035927614318428295
Using English as a tool rather than a body of knowledge, learning becomes pressure-free, so I feel I've progressed faster during this period than ever before.
As a tool, I will first clarify what I should learn to use this skill, such as I need to learn to understand and express, even if there are grammatical errors and pronunciation problems, which can be set aside temporarily.
So I looked for many of my favorite American TV shows, movies, and animated series.
I think this step is the most important because if you can progress in this step, everything else can follow; if you can't continue, then the rest is irrelevant.
1️⃣ Find materials that you like and can listen to;
Only with things you enjoy can you maintain interest in watching, and having some understanding of the plot makes it less tedious to watch.
Now I mainly look for my favorite American TV shows (with English pronunciations relevant to life), some documentaries (with balanced audio that is easier to understand), and some daily news materials about Crypto (also to catch up on the current news).
2️⃣ It's best to find materials that you can understand 60-70% of;
If you can understand more than 90%, it won't help you much; if you understand hardly anything or are around 50%, your brain will automatically filter out that content. Overall, understanding 60-70% is ideal.
3️⃣ Make sure not to turn on subtitles;
Language ability is fundamentally not about vocabulary size or grammar amount, but a probability prediction skill: meaning, when someone speaks half a sentence, you know what they want to say; when you say something, you know which expression is more natural.
This is especially true at the beginning of learning pronunciation; most of it relies on guessing. It's like when we were children, how did we learn our mother tongue?
We relied on our parents talking to us every day; we started understanding bits and pieces, guessing the meanings of these phrases, and slowly internalizing them in our brains. When we were young, our parents wouldn't teach us grammar or hold a vocabulary board telling us the meanings while speaking.
So if you find it hard to understand at first, you can slow down a bit, but try to adapt and even guess what they are talking about.
It's okay if you don't understand; just guess. I've written before: you are not learning a language; rather, your brain is gradually adapting to a language.
4️⃣ Besides input, it's best to do some output daily after listening.
Whether it's trying to write down what you heard that day, having AI help you correct it, or chatting with some native speakers, ensure a certain amount of output. This not only helps you get used to pronunciations and phrases, but also builds confidence.
Don't underestimate this; just ten minutes of output each day can lead to you daring to chat casually with foreigners in two months.
5️⃣ If you feel unable to persist, find a teacher to help you maintain the above practices.
