English
There is nothing to say. Study hard. When I was a sophomore at Peking University, I went to Hong Kong for a semester, and my English textbooks and teaching experience improved a lot at once. It is really easier for people to force themselves to use English as their working language in the environment. This has greatly increased my English tolerance, and I am no longer worried. Since then, I know I can use more languages.
English is not a question of remembering enough words and mastering enough grammar, but a question of really using it. Besides, it doesn't matter if you make grammatical mistakes. Contrast is too important. I once heard the Nobel Prize winner say, "What did you say?" At that time, it was not only the destruction of the three views, but also the opening of a new world.
Later, I went to Vancouver UBC as a visiting scholar on 20 1 1 and directly practiced English for another semester.
2. Japanese
I grew up watching Japanese anime. Thanks to the lovely Xiamen, Xiamen people all know that a small satellite pot can receive original TV programs from Taiwan Province Province at home. Those Japanese cartoons really gave me a lot of spiritual food. When the Haier brothers were widely circulated in Chinese mainland, I was already chasing plays such as The Legend of China People, The King of Games, Poké mon and You Bai Shu. At that time, I thought I wanted to watch more Japanese cartoons, preferably the original ones. Moreover, at that time, many games were only available in Japanese, such as the mainland of Three Kingdoms and Two Overlords. So I began to learn Japanese formally in the winter vacation of my sophomore year.
It's also amazing At that time, I invited my classmate Liu Suman from Peking University Foreign Studies University to teach (here is the advertisement: there is a free Japanese class for Mr. Suman in official website). Later, she and I became teachers one after another, which is another story. Liu Suman is now a famous Japanese training teacher in China, and I have also become a "network celebrity of the president". Have fun.
Strictly speaking, I am still a believer in Liu Suman! (serious face)
Of course, because I study physics, I don't have much time to learn Japanese. The main way to consolidate is not to learn textbooks, but to play games and watch cartoons. I remember when I was a junior, I learned a lot of four-character idioms (similar to Chinese idioms) by playing PSP game "Verification of Chinese Characters", which was later used in many places, especially in Japanese.
Of course, I'm not fast. At that time, the person I admired most in the physics department of Peking University was Xia Junchao, who chased various cartoons to learn Japanese every day. King of fighters plays best in the dormitory of physics department. It is said that he has never lost in go-karting. This man is really incomparable with others. IQ crush is not just talk. By the way, I haven't seen him study hard. He always skipped class, slept in class and then went to Princeton.
Later in Paris, I kept the habit of learning Japanese. I chose Japanese as my language course at Paris Normal University. Of course, this is a course to teach Japanese in French. I'll tell you how I learned French later.
I read your name a while ago, and I found that I can stop reading subtitles. Finally reached the level of Xia Junchao V (_) V ten years ago.
3. French
In my life planning, language is not very important (physics and mathematics are more important haha), and I have never thought of learning any small languages except Japanese. But French is so special that it is a windfall. Because I was suddenly admitted to Paris Normal University in France. This is a school where I have no regrets and am willing to end my life at this moment. The details will not be developed.
But the most terrible thing is that it is really taught in French. Because there are 200 students in the first session of the whole school, only 10 is an international student. Therefore, the school will not care about foreigners at all, and treat you directly as a Frenchman in class. . . So I had to bite the bullet and learn. My learning steps are as follows:
On the summer vacation when I was admitted to Normal University, I calculated that there were still two weeks before I left school, so I played Taigu Daren in Xiamen for one week, and then I learned the pronunciation of 26 letters for the rest of the week and went. Then the French-speaking world was directly abused for a semester! ! ! Yes, it is a semester! ! ! Fortunately, I study physics and mathematics, and many sentence patterns are repeated, so I use the formula on the blackboard to infer what the teacher is saying, and then infer the content of the words. But French is Latin after all, which is very different from Germanic English. So it really took a lot of effort to start learning French. In order to learn French, I even rely on my own Japanese course to push French back. Japanese teachers teach Japanese in French in class. I rely on my very simple understanding of Japanese to decipher French in reverse, which has become my unique skill in learning French. By the way, I quickly learned French by pronouncing a small tongue sound. Because it is almost exactly the same as the brewing sound before spitting (of course, I don't have the habit of spitting myself, but I suddenly understand the spitting sound of my dad! )
If there are 10,000 university applications (many free minority language courses), I can learn French more easily.
4. Italian
It's the phone bill. . .
I'm kidding. I exchanged studies in Italy in the last month after I left Europe. Because Italian and French are really similar, I learned it by the way. I once did an experiment with an Italian student to make him speak Italian. I replied to him in French to see if I could talk smoothly. I found that there are basically no obstacles! I can probably understand what he is saying, and I can understand it better. So you can imagine how similar Italian and French are. Of course, some specific prepositions still need to be studied a little, but the grammatical structure and so on are really almost the same.
I almost forgot Italian, so 0.5. But I'm not very worried. After all, if you really want to learn again, just watch the video tutorial at Wanmen University. I have confidence in the teaching quality of my university.
I hope everyone will eliminate their fear of learning a foreign language. After all, language is just a tool. The biggest obstacle is definitely not the language itself, but whether you can bravely look at it from the perspective of tools. Language itself is not sacred, and only what it conveys can judge whether it is sacred or not. Just as a pen can draw the Mona Lisa, why are we afraid of a pen?
