5:48 - 5:52
so that you start to notice certain things that you didn't notice the first time.
所以你开始注意到某些你第一次没有注意到的东西。
5:52 - 5:55
And this is the next point about listening.
接下来是关于倾听的问题。
5:55 - 6:00
I can listen to a mini story that I've listened to 30, 40 times before.
我可以听一个我以前听过的30、40次的小故事。
6:00 - 6:01
So I know the mini story.

6:01 - 6:08
And yet I will suddenly notice a structure, a verb pattern, verb form that I hadn't really

noticed before, even though I knew the rule vaguely, but the 31st time that I listened

6:14 - 6:17
to that, I noticed it in a different way.

6:17 - 6:23
So give yourself a chance to notice things when you go back for that additional pass
因此,给自己一个机会注意到事情,当你回到那个额外的通行证
6:23 - 6:24
through the same material.
通过相同的材料
6:24 - 6:28
So you're again, you're maintaining that repetition and novelty, but when you're on your, in your

6:28 - 6:33
repetition activity, allow yourself to notice certain things.
重复活动,让自己注意到某些事情。
6:33 - 6:35
You don't have to notice everything.

6:35 - 6:41
You can lose focus, but there will be times when you notice certain things in there that
你可能会失去专注,但会有一些时候你会注意到某些东西。
6:41 - 6:45
will help you in your gradual acquisition of the language.
将帮助您逐渐获得语言。
6:45 - 6:49
And remember that listening comprehension here is the goal.
记住,这里的理解是目标。
6:49 - 6:53
It's not going to be perfect, but it will gradually improve.
它不会是完美的,但它会逐步改善。
6:53 - 6:58
And the better your listening comprehension, the better your ability to have conversations.
你的倾听能力越好,你对话的能力就越好。
6:58 - 7:05
But again, give yourself, you know, a variety between repetition, repetitious material and
但是,再一次,给自己,你知道,在重复,重复的材料和重复之间的差异。
7:05 - 7:11
new challenging material, combine reading with listening, try to focus in on certain

7:11 - 7:16
aspects of pronunciation that you maybe didn't notice before, be aware that some of the things
发音方面,你可能没有注意到之前,要知道一些事情
7:16 - 7:22
that you didn't notice on the first time listening or the second or the fifth or the 10th time,

7:22 - 7:24
you may notice that 20th time you listen.
也许你会注意到你听到的第20次。
7:24 - 7:28
So the process of acquisition of a language is gradual.
因此,一种语言的获得过程是渐进的。
7:28 - 7:32
So if you listen and you don't understand, don't get frustrated.
所以,如果你倾听而不理解,不要沮丧。
7:32 - 7:37
If you listen and read and listen and read and still don't understand, don't get frustrated.
如果你听,读,听,读,但仍然不明白,不要沮丧。

up the garage, whatever it might be, listening, fading out, focusing in again.
上车库,无论它是什么,倾听,消失,再次集中注意力。
7:52 - 7:56
That works better for me than trying to sit down and say, okay, for the next half hour,
这对我来说比试图坐下来说,好吧,在接下来的半个小时里,
7:56 - 7:58
I'm going to listen to this.
我会听这个。
7:58 - 7:59
All right.
没错。
7:59 - 8:06
The exception to that, of course, is if you're watching a movie, which is a form of listening,

8:06 - 8:08

That's why series, you know, on Netflix are so great.

8:19 - 8:23
If it's the same group of people interacting all the time in the series and you watch them

8:23 - 8:29
and you feel you're a part of them and you're getting that sense of being in that cultural,

8:29 - 8:34
you know, sphere, all of that is good.

8:34 - 8:42
But I wouldn't, you know, I consider the sort of video, movies, TV series, that's more of

8:42 - 8:43
a reward.

8:51 - 8:57
Initially sort of repetitious material, like the many stories, eventually audio books where
起初是一种重复性的材料,如许多故事,最终是音频书籍。
8:57 - 9:03
just hearing the words conjures up meaning for you so that you're automatically converting,
只是听到这些单词会为你创造意义,这样你就会自动转换。
9:03 - 9:06
you know, words in the target language into meaning.

9:12 - 9:14
become fluent in the language.
在语言中变得流畅。
9:14 - 9:16

Treat listening and listening comprehension not only as a primary goal in language learning,
对待倾听和倾听理解不仅是语言学习的主要目标,
