很多人問我我的中文是怎么學的，今天給你們講點這方面的東西，用中英文結合唄。I started Chinese in college. 我當時發現我的發音比同學清楚點點。My teacher thought my pronunciation was good and encouraged me to go to China. So I came to China in 2000. 我參加了兩年的強化培訓班，在北京，哈爾濱還有南京。我剛來到中國的時候我遇到了我的美國同胞，一位學中文的美國女孩兒發現她的中文講得跟中國人一樣好。我問她有什么秘訣。她很直接地告訴我其實沒有秘訣，就是要學習得比別人認真和經常跟本地人呆在一起。Itook her advice. I started to study really hard and to spend time witha lot of Chinese people. Now I have lived in China for 5 years. I spendmost of my time with Chinese people speaking Chinese. So now I oftenthink and dream in Chinese.

中國人學習英語有個很大的學習障礙，那就是缺少語言環境。這樣的話，你們得找其他的方式彌補這方面。My 10 recommendations for how to study a language are as follows:

1). Study harder than anyone!!!

2).If you don't know the meaning of something, then look it up in thedictionary right away! Don't wait, always look things up as soon aspossible.

3).Chat online, it will help you form sentences, there are lots of placesto chat including on our AE message board atwww.51practice.cn/www.aviliv.cn.

4). Make English-speaking friends if you can.

5).VERY IMPORTANT - Don't be afraid to make mistakes!!! Just talk, talk,talk, talk! You will always make mistakes but the more you try, thequicker you will improve. 你的臉皮要很厚才行, 不怕錯!

6). Don't forget the basics, speak slowly and clearly with good grammar and pronunciation.

7). Repeat yourself a lot. Tell the same story and slowly you will get better and better at saying it!

8). Be patient, give it time, it takes a long time to learn a language, so don't expect to be perfect right away.

9). Watch English movies, listen to English music, and very important - learn to sing English songs and sing them at Karaoke! 我剛開始學中文的時候我買了很多中國的音樂. 當時很不了解中國音樂就買了一個無印良品的盤,到現在我還能記得很多很多他們的歌詞. 朋友覺得很奇怪為什么蕭劍鋒對無印良品的歌那么熟,哈哈!

10). And most importantly, watch Action English!!!

I hope that helps you guys! I will post more later!

Peace,
