我是側(cè)重于英語的應(yīng)用能力的，就是側(cè)重于口語的教學(xué)方法。也就是專為中級和高級英語學(xué)習(xí)者設(shè)計(jì)的，我的課程不適合初學(xué)者。 　　但是，我經(jīng)常收到電子郵件，要求我提供初學(xué)者課程。我們的許多成員都有初學(xué)者朋友。許多人還有剛開始學(xué)習(xí)英語的年齡較大的孩子。他們怎么學(xué)習(xí)？我可以教他們嗎？ 　　However, I often get emails asking me for beginner lessons. Many of our members have friends who are beginners. Many also have older children who are just starting to learn English. How can they learn? Can I teach them? 　　Well, I can teach them. There are excellent Effortless techniques for teaching beginners… and I have often thought of creating video lessons for total beginners. However, at this time I have decided not to do this. Our current focus is on intermediate adult learners. I want to serve you all better, and this requires focus. 　　我可以給你一些建議..我希望你能傳遞給你的初級朋友和家人： 　　I can give you some advice though.. which I hope you’ll pass on to your beginner-level friends and family: 　　1.有選擇地使用英語教科書和CD 　　我剛剛開始學(xué)習(xí)泰語......在SF。我這里沒有泰國老師，也沒有我所知道的“不費(fèi)吹灰之力的泰語”課程。所以目前我被困在使用傳統(tǒng)書籍和CD。 　　I’m just starting to study Thai… here in SF. I don’t have a Thai teacher here, and there are no “Effortless Thai” lessons that I know of. So at the moment I’m stuck using traditional books and CDs. 　　但是，我正在創(chuàng)造性地使用它們。我完全忽略了所有無聊的練習(xí)和練習(xí)。我跳過所有英語解釋和音頻。 　　However, I am using these creatively. I totally ignore all boring drills and exercises. I skip all English language explanations and audio. 　　我只使用泰語語音對話......這些對話的成績單......以及基本的詞匯解釋。我的重點(diǎn)完全在于獲得大量的泰語投入。我忽略了對語言的所有分析。

　　I use only the Thai language audio conversations… the transcripts of those conversations… and the most basic vocabulary explanations. My focus is totally and completely on getting a lot of Thai input. I ignore all analysis of the language. 　　告訴你的朋友和家人用英語做同樣的事情。忽略所有語法解釋，所有練習(xí)，所有工作表......只關(guān)注獲得大量英語輸入......并專注于理解詞匯。 　　Tell your friends and family to do the same with English.. ignore all grammar explanations, all drills, all worksheets… just focus on getting a lot of English input… and focus only on understanding the vocabulary. 　　2.聽，聽，重復(fù)聽 　　它是我們重要的輕松英語“規(guī)則”。聽力對初學(xué)者尤為重要。初學(xué)者應(yīng)該花95％的學(xué)習(xí)時間聽英語。收聽教科書CD上的音頻對話。收聽簡單的英語播客。傾聽，傾聽，傾聽更多。 　　Its our most important Effortless English “rule”. Listening is especially important for beginners. Beginners should spend 95% of their study time listening to English. Listen to the audio dialogues on the textbook CDs. Listen to the easiest English podcasts. Listen, listen, and listen some more. 　　3.深度學(xué)習(xí)更重要 　　初學(xué)者需要比中級和高級水平學(xué)習(xí)者更多的重復(fù)。作為初學(xué)者，我需要聽100次或更多次泰語對話。每當(dāng)我必須專注地聽能量和總注意力。
