記住你最喜歡的歌，然后唱出來！

In a 2013 studyconducted at the Reid School of Music in Edinburgh, researchers discovered that adults who sang in a new language instead of just speaking it performed better on a series of language tests.

2013年，愛丁堡里德音樂學院（Reid School of Music In Edinburgh）進行了一項研究，研究人員發(fā)能把新語言唱出來的成年人，比那些只能說出來的成年人，在一系列語言測試中表現(xiàn)更佳。

For your first song, try not to choose something that’s too challenging or fast-paced, but do choose a song that you really enjoy so that you’ll want to listen to it again and again.

第一首歌，盡量不要選擇太有挑戰(zhàn)性或節(jié)奏太快的歌，但一定要選擇一首你真正喜歡的歌，這樣你才會愿意一遍又一遍地聽。

Memorize a poem that speaks to you

記住一首對你有意義的詩

Poetry is often powerful and emotional, and anything that can help you connect emotion to learning English will help you retain more vocabulary.

詩歌通常是強有力的、充滿情感的，任何能幫助你將情感與英語學習聯(lián)系起來的東西都能幫助你記住更多的詞匯。

And, just like with the quotes, you can give yourself a small goal of memorizing a short poem every week and reciting it out loud to anyone who will listen.

就像名言一樣，你可以給自己定一個小目標，每周背一首短詩，并大聲背誦給任何愿意聽的人聽。

#5

Have a discussion with yourself

與自己交流

If this idea sounds good to you, give yourself the initial goal of answering three questions a day out loud. You can record yourself or write your answers down, too, but make sure that you actually answer the questions out loud.

如果你覺得這個主意不錯，那就給自己定一個最初的目標，每天大聲回答三個問題。你也可以記錄你自己或?qū)懴履愕拇鸢?，但要確保你真的大聲回答了問題。

#6

Dictate your ideas instead of

writing them down

口述你的想法，而不是寫下來

It takes a little bit of practice to get used to dictation in the beginning, so be patient with yourself. To start, create a Dictation Diary and commit to dictating your thoughts for five minutes a day or fifteen minutes per week.

一開始，你需要一些練習才能習慣口述 ，所以要對自己有耐心。首先，創(chuàng)建一個口述日記，并保證每天花五分鐘或每周十五分鐘來口述你的想法。

Use a voice recording app

使用語音記錄APP

If you’re someone who likes to review yourself to check your progress and listen for mistakes, you should definitely try using a voice recording app.

如果你喜歡自我檢討，檢查自身進展，查漏補缺，那么你絕對要嘗試語音記錄APP。

You can use this to record yourself reciting a speech, singing a song, or reciting a poem, but you can also use it to record your thoughts.

你可以用它錄下自己背誦演講、背誦詩歌或唱歌的音頻，你也可以用它來記錄自己的想法。

#8

Record yourself speaking on video

錄制自己說口語的視頻

If you’re just starting out with this method, I recommend recording a video of yourself speak once a week. And give yourself some guidelines for what you will talk about. Are you going to teach something or discuss something? Review your favorite horror movie? Just share your thoughts of the day?

如果你剛剛開始使用這種方法，我建議你每周錄制一段自己說口語的視頻。列出你要談論話題的大綱。你打算教什么還是討論什么？是要回顧你最喜歡的恐怖電影？還是分享一下你今天的想法？

#9

Check-in with your progress

once a month

每月檢查一次進度

Practicing a skill like speaking on your own can be tough. But you’ll make more progress if you check-in with your goals every month.

自學口語這樣的技能可能很難。但是，如果你每個月都檢查自己的進度，你會取得更大的進步。

Ask yourself: Are you making fewer mistakes? How many new English phrases or expressions have you learned? Have you memorized a speech, a song, or a poem? Do you feel more comfortable when you’re speaking?

問自己幾個問題：你犯的錯誤減少了嗎？你學了多少新的英語短語或表達？你記住一篇演講、一首歌或一首詩了嗎？你口語表達的時候感覺自在嗎？

#10

Know when to ask for help

知道何時尋求幫助

If you’re feeling stuck or that you’re not making enough progress, I highly recommend reaching out to an English teacher to help you figure out your own self-study path.

如果你覺得自己陷入瓶頸，或者沒有取得十足的進步，我強烈建議你去找一位英語老師，幫你找到自己的自學道路。
