Is it okay to go to Japan and only speak English?

No, it takes a lot.

Many people practice speaking and often emphasize the word "practice". In fact, there are many aspects to improving speaking. In response to this problem, I specially tell you "how to practice to improve your spoken English". I hope it will be useful to everyone.

Once upon a time, the four words "practical Japanese" were poured into all of our heads. He said: It is not unusual to be able to take exams, and he is proud of both listening, speaking, reading and writing. Indeed, language is a comprehensive ability. Japanese is just like Chinese. Only when you have mastered the tasks of listening, speaking, reading and writing can you use it with ease. You can feel comfortable and content in any situation, which is very satisfying. Last time I mentioned the solution to hearing problems, this time I will come up with the prescription for Japanese speaking. Speaking first, the word "practice" can be used to improve spoken English. This inevitable relationship is just like eating something to make your stomach full. Even if you are hungry, even if you are full, it is temporary, right? It seems that everyone has practiced spoken English to some extent, but in addition to the uneven level of practice, there are still a large number of people who are strong in written Japanese who still cannot speak Japanese. In fact, in my opinion, the word "Lian" is not only practice, but also includes "diligence" and "qiao". How to be "diligently" and "skillfully"? Let's take a look:

1. "Diligence"

The ancients said that reading should be done "three times": on the pillow, on the toilet, and immediately. Although according to modern health concepts, these "three things" are not only easy to cause various eye diseases

but also unhygienic, prone to hemorrhoids, and harmful to the body. But from another perspective, what the ancients said exactly shows that reading requires diligence and concentration. The "qin" in the author's diligent oral practice refers to an attitude. Once you have made up your mind, you have to stick to it to the end, and the author's "skill" will be a good remedy.

2. "Skillful"

If you pay attention to methods in anything, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Practice speaking because it is a tool. Of course, the sooner you master a tool, the better. With a stroke of my pen, the author prescribes the following flavors of medicine core:

1. Carefully select practice materials.

The choice of practice materials is related to the level of our language in the future. It is the blueprint for our future language. Therefore, we must be careful and choose carefully. The material can be poetry, beautiful Japanese articles, or even anything you like but you need to be proficient in language.

2. Listen to the recording and practice speaking.

After selecting the materials for practice, thoroughly solve the unfamiliar words, usages, and meanings in the materials. There are also techniques for this, which is more important, but this is not the topic to be discussed today. After completing these tasks, we must learn to put those sentences and usage into spoken language. The first step is to read aloud. The first problem that arises when converting from written to spoken is voice and intonation. Why do many foreigners who learn Chinese mean the right thing when they talk about Chinese, but Chinese people know they are foreigners when they hear it? This is because the foreigners' pronunciation and intonation are not well grasped, and this situation cannot be called authentic Chinese. The same goes for learning Japanese. The author recommends the simplest way to master pronunciation and intonation: listen to recordings and imitate. Don't be anxious, sentence by sentence, pay attention to carefully identify the pauses, rising and falling intonation, stress, omission, etc. If you can't remember, can you still mark it in the book and come up with some ideas?

3. The bumpy journey from familiarity to memorization.

After hearing the recitation, most people’s heads turned into two heads. In fact, the recitation proposed by the author is different from the traditional “endorsement”. Haha, what kind of recitation is that? Extremely skilled. According to the marks we made in the book according to step 2 and the arduous practice of repeatedly reciting the recorded materials in strict accordance with the standard pronunciation, our Japanese must have been spoken! But, how many people can really complete this arduous journey? I don't have any around me. Don't be discouraged, maybe you can be the first.

In addition, an extremely important point that must be mentioned is: when conducting drills, be sure to find an open outdoor area as much as possible and drill with your loudest voice.

4. Improve through actual combat.

Spoken Japanese is a tool that is spoken in people’s mouths. Not only do we need to be eloquent individually, but we also need to learn, practice, and improve in communication with others. Many people say that they feel extremely nervous whenever they have to communicate with others in Japanese or have contact with foreigners! The author's answer: It is a lack of necessary reserves. In daily life, whether we are reading aloud or exposed to TV or newspapers, when we encounter classic sentence patterns or good expression methods, we will write down, write down, and reserve more, so that when we need it, we will have everything we need. At the same time, preparing some common sentence patterns, greetings, and idioms before talking to people, especially foreigners, can also help to stabilize your position.

But the author has one thing to remind you: you must practice more with people or foreigners who speak better than yourself, otherwise the above effects cannot be guaranteed. Many people say that they rarely have the opportunity to meet foreigners. What should they do? The author says, create opportunities for yourself, otherwise just learn to talk to yourself in various scenarios, the effect will be the same. How about going to the Japanese corner to chat with someone? The author remained silent, frowned and said, everyone can figure it out for themselves.

5. Listening, speaking, reading and writing can be understood by analogy.

Japanese includes four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing. As mentioned above, listening to the news, watching movies, reading newspapers, and magazines can really provide a good language foundation and rich materials for improving our spoken English.

In turn, the improvement of speaking also brings surprises to the learning of other aspects of Japanese, especially writing. Give it a try, you may also be pleasantly surprised.
