Effective language learning with fun and joy

By Chinese Author


The effective way to learn language with joy and fun is to 'Learn as you Use and Use as you Learn'(学语言要现学现用才有效也最有满足感。)


Write it down once (then type by pinyin if you can) to learn and absorb naturally-a slow yet very effective way of learning a language, which also happens to be the simplest, painless way of doing things. It's proven to be effective by many, however most people prefer take the easy way out by just reading stuff. To achieve the same effect of writing the word, phrase and sentence once, you may need to read the same material 5 to 10 times so as to more or less retain the Chinese characters within your memory bank, and be able to use them again without much pondering. Unless you are well-trained in mnemonics, you must be a highly gifted person or a prodigy if you could remember without actually writing things down or just by physically typing newly acquired words and phrases in less than 3 iterations. Moreover, you can better recall your unique style of producing various Chinese characters in writing as compared to standard typesetting during revision. So learn as you write and write as you learn, simple as that. That's the trick, also a secret.


写一次的效果相等于读5-10遍,简单又有效、不痛不痒,只有手指会酸疼,也表示有学到东西,完全没有阻力,不辛苦,更不伤脑筋。写越多就记得越多,而且越写越顺手,有话说不完,还能说得好。这种学法很多人试过,都有效,只是多数人要方便,因为读比较不费力,也比较快,但未必能写得好或表达得到位贴切,写和说的时候还是会哑口无言,或吱吱呜呜,找不到恰当的字眼来用。如果你能够看过两三遍就可以永久记下来还能写和说出同样的句子,除非有经过专门训练,不是奇才就是神童,这是过目不忘的非一般脑力和摄像记忆力,一万人里面恐怕还找不到一个,最厉害的可以把整座城市的每一栋建筑物的设计和街道等等细节都画出来,几亿人里面也很难找到一个。


边学边用就是现学现用,不要像很多学校在教的那样学完才用,把学跟用分开来教。这个逻辑或常识不需要具备教育专家的知识也可以想象和明白。如果认为学校的教法没什么效果,就不要死跟着学校的教法去学,很少学校会教你怎么学最有效,也适合你,却肯定适合管理学校的少数人,因为几乎所有课程是都为学校和教育的目标还有各种指标而量身定制,不是为了学生去设计,学生和教师都必须削足适履去满足学校和当局的要求。到头来还是要靠自己下工夫去学最实在,也最有保障。

Learning Pyramid (学习效果的金字塔)


下图强调有效的学习法—Agastya Approach, 别再老是听和读了,要多动手动口参与和体验,主动和活跃的活动会激活脑部功能,被动的听和读只是在接收,并没有完全动起来,脑部不活跃,学习效果和效率就差。



如果你的老师还在课堂上讲课或演脱口秀而不是跟大家一起动手做功课,在有疑问的时候指点和引导疏通阻塞协助大家顺利完成作业,那么你花一整个月十几二十个小时上课的学习效果还不如你自己在家里自学和动手做练习去亲身体验的一到三个小时。光学不练轻松有乐趣,却学不到实在的运用技能,考再多次也没有意义,永远只能当听众而不能参与讨论和做出有价值的贡献给自己也让大家一起升值,知识和技能都不提升,也永远无法超越老师。如果在学校的学法不可靠或效果不佳,就得靠自己用最有效的学法亲自动手去学和练,去得到上图所示的好效果。
