一、熟悉语言组成的三个基本要素:语音、语法、词汇。
二、掌握四个基本技能:听、说、读、写。当然还有一个技能---翻译。但是只要熟练掌握了前面的四个技能,稍加训练,翻译水平自然而然就会提高。
下面来简单说说如何熟悉英语三大要素:语音、语法、词汇:
语音:
无论是自然界中的动物,还是人类,原始的沟通总是用声音作为媒介。对于人类而言,语音也是一步的,只是随着社会的发展进而才发明出文字。我相信当一个婴儿对着自己的母亲说出一声“妈”的时候,他/她不会知道“妈”这个词如何写!
实际上,世界上所有的语言都是先有发音才有文字的。发音是自然界的产物,文字是人为创造的书写系统。世界上的方言土语有千千万万种,有对应的书写系统的有几个?所以,发音在先是自然规律,我们只有遵循自然规律才能学好语言!由此可见,只有从发音学起,才是顺应语言发展的自然规律!所以,学任何语言,语音永远是一位的。
如何掌握语音?
很简单,买一本语音教材,从头学到尾(不要背,能理解即可)就可以了。关键是音标的发音。因为只有音标发音标准,单词才能读准。连单词都读不标准,口齿不清,是不可能读好句子的,更不可能说一口流畅的英语。
如果有条件,我建议好找一位发音标准的家教或者英语高手来纠正发音,因为就算你跟着标准的音频跟读,自己往往还是无法判别自己的发音是否标准清晰。或者参加语音矫正培训班。我坚信,值得参加的英语培训班肯定是语音培训班!
语法:
买一本比较全面的语法书,把它从头到尾看完。语法关键就是理解,不是背。也就是说,如果你能理解一个句子的意思,就不要管它什么语法。
要尽快丢掉语法书!
语法是用来帮助理解文章的。如果文章已经理解,又何必管它什么语法。当然,如果你是研究语法的或者因学习工作等需要的除外。实际上,当你看原版书或者英文影视的时候,你会发觉很多语言现象都很难用语法来解释的。
现在语法书也有分级,什么初中语法啦,高中语法啦,大学语法啦,语法大全啦等等,如果你基础不好,就循序渐进,把它们逐次都看完。
