8天速记3500单词课程来奇速英语集训营

8天速记3500单词课程来奇速英语集训营

8天速记3500单词课程来奇速英语集训营首先,为什么孩子记不住英语单词?有一位伟人说得好:“我们要战胜敌人,首先要找出敌人在哪里。

若你连敌人在哪里都不知道,又怎么去制定战略战术呢?”同理,我们要想打单词,最重要的是找出为什么记不住单词。

如果你能在一天之内记住800多个不熟悉的英语单词,并且第二天没有忘记,甚至过了很久还记得,那么剩下的就基本不用看了(当然这不是大多数人能做到的)。

如果你对一天背300个单词没有完全的把握,那么接下来的内容对你来说就非常重要了!1. 不懂得英语单词的构造原理一个单词为什么是这个意思?为什么要用这一串字母来为其造字?出于什么样的造字考虑呢?这些“造字机理”方面的事情,历史上从来没有一本书将其讲清讲透,因此中国人面对英语单词就像面对一个个密码,即使背下来了,也同样疑惑重重,没有找到可靠的解义线索和记忆线索,大部分靠死记硬背。

2. 汉语是表意系统,英语是表音系统每一个人都有学会任何国家语言的能力,甚至是动物的语言,狼孩儿就是很好的例子。

但这种能力是有时限性的,年龄越小越能自动习得。

婴儿出生后的0 ~ 6 个月是学习语言的关键期,虽然他还不会说话,但已经开始大量吸收信息。

所以简单来说,人类有先天学会母语的能力,并且在学会母语的过程中,大脑的思维能力同步成长,就好比给大脑安装了语言软件,只不过汉语安装的是表意系统的软件,英语安装的是表音系统的软件。

因为两种语言有很大的差异,所以我们就会先入为主,在学习另外一种语言时出现不兼容的情况。

3. 先学汉语拼音,后学英语,难免混淆视听汉语拼音先入为主的“相克”效应,会对我们记忆英语单词产生一定的影响。

很多人是从小学一年级起就开始学拼音,到了初中一年级才开始学英语的。

这就造成了在正式学习英语单词的几年前就先以汉语拼音的方式接触了26 个拉丁文字母。

这种先入为主,直接影响了我们对同由拉丁文字母组成的另一个符号系统——英文单词的正确认识,进而导致两者混淆视听。

刘一男词汇8000

——北京新东方学校刘一男(请您尊重知识产权)前言为什么你记不住单词无论四六级英语考试,还是考研英语,托福阅读考试,都无非是一种语言隔阂的考试。

我们通过对以往的托福阅读考试命题的研究,将频繁出现在考试当中的的词汇搜罗出来,总结成册,叫做托福考试核心词汇或类似的名字。

准备参加托福阅读考试的人是背了单词之后再上考场,这其实等于已经将英语考试简化成了一场语文考试,在考场上大家也就是读文学故事,答语文题,但是为什么我们的考生依然会普遍反映句子读不懂,题目做不完,我们的整个学习过程是哪个环节出了问题?就是——背单词。

我们已经获得的的单词量有两个顽疾,一是单词含义记得不牢,模模糊糊。

二是见到单词反应其汉语意思的速度不快,回忆起来很慢,有的甚至根本回忆不起来。

单词不能光靠“背”,死记硬背单词有两大坏处,一,效率不高:记了忘,忘了记,如此反复,消磨了意志,丧失了兴趣,久而久之,英语学习变得令人厌恶起来。

二,哪怕部分同学靠过人的意志和吐血的勤奋以“变成了书呆子”的代价终于把单词给硬记下来了,到了考场上,却依然看不懂文章,因为硬背下来的东西,没有心领神会,一篇文章在他眼中只是转译成了一个个彼此孤立的单词,于是他只能“阅读”,无法达到“理解”的境界,英语成绩依然很糟。

单词一定要理解记忆,第一,理解记忆效率高,很快可以记住一个单词,这一点可以在今后的课程中得到验证。

第二,理解记忆印象深,很难想象一个不认识“鼻”字的人能把“打鼾”的“鼾”字记得很牢,其实英文单词如出一辙,英文的“打鼾”是“snore”,过去你不知道,英语单词中“sn”开头的时候,“sn”有强烈的“口、鼻”的含义,比如:sn ap-猛咬,sn ack-快餐(需要大口咬的餐种),sn eeze-打喷嚏,sn iff-用力吸、嗤之以鼻,等等。

那么,学员们会追问两个问题,第一,为什么“sn”会有这样的“口、鼻”的含义呢,这种含义是不是杜撰的呢,经得起实践的检验么?这种含义来自“snake-蛇”这个词,由于蛇这种动物有大口取食的习惯,人们就借用了对蛇的这种认识,引入语言之中,铸就了这些和“口、鼻”相关的单词。
