我是側重于英語(yǔ)的應用能力的，就是側重于口語(yǔ)的教學(xué)方法。也就是專(zhuān)為中級和高級英語(yǔ)學(xué)習者設計的，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(kāi)始學(xué)習英語(yǔ)的年齡較大的孩子。他們怎么學(xué)習？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(yǔ)教科書(shū)和CD 　　我剛剛開(kāi)始學(xué)習泰語(yǔ)......在SF。我這里沒(méi)有泰國老師，也沒(méi)有我所知道的“不費吹灰之力的泰語(yǔ)”課程。所以目前我被困在使用傳統書(shū)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(wú)聊的練習和練習。我跳過(guò)所有英語(yǔ)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(yǔ)語(yǔ)音對話(huà)......這些對話(huà)的成績(jì)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(yǔ)投入。我忽略了對語(yǔ)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(yǔ)做同樣的事情。忽略所有語(yǔ)法解釋?zhuān)芯毩?，所有工作?.....只關(guān)注獲得大量英語(yǔ)輸入......并專(zhuān)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(tīng)，聽(tīng)，重復聽(tīng) 　　它是我們重要的輕松英語(yǔ)“規則”。聽(tīng)力對初學(xué)者尤為重要。初學(xué)者應該花95％的學(xué)習時(shí)間聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)。收聽(tīng)教科書(shū)CD上的音頻對話(huà)。收聽(tīng)簡(jiǎn)單的英語(yǔ)播客。傾聽(tīng)，傾聽(tīng)，傾聽(tīng)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)習更重要 　　初學(xué)者需要比中級和高級水平學(xué)習者更多的重復。作為初學(xué)者，我需要聽(tīng)100次或更多次泰語(yǔ)對話(huà)。每當我必須專(zhuān)注地聽(tīng)能量和總注意力。
