Many foreign learners have a very big misunderstanding.
I guess you're one of them.
Many people think that only if you live in a country where you can speak the language you are learning,
can you reach a very high level.
But in my opinion, the fact is not so.
I am a living example.
In the process of learning Chinese, I only went to China once,
and only stayed for three weeks.
What can you learn in three weeks, right?
So in this video, I'm going to share with you my secret,
which is how to create a language environment.
Hello, everyone.
I'm He Wei.
Welcome to my channel.
Before we officially start the content of this video,
you have to promise me one thing.
If you find this video useful in the end,
then you must subscribe to my channel.
Thank you for your support.
This is the biggest motivation for me to continue making videos.
Okay.
The three steps to create an environment are as follows.
Step 1.
Use the time to practice hard.
Step 2.
When you rest, just look at the content of the target language.
Step 3.
Which is my favorite step.
Actually, I'm going to leave this to share with you in the end.
In this way, it brings a sense of mystery to this video.
How about it?
Okay, let's talk about it one by one.
First of all, let's talk about
using the time to practice hard.
No matter how busy you are,
if you think about it a little bit,
how much time can you use to practice hard every day?
It's very likely that the answer is much more than you think.
Let me give you a few simple examples.
You can listen to it on your way to and from work.
You can listen to it when you do housework.
You can listen to it when you drink coffee alone.
And then in the end,
you can listen to it when you take a shower.
You might as well buy a waterproof headset or a jade hat.
Right?
In short, how can we use the time to practice hard?
It's very toxic.
What does this mean?
It means that learning a foreign language is not like
You have to spend two hours sitting there and learning to learn.
Little habits can play a very big role.
So I suggest you think about it.
How much time can you use to practice hard every day?
Let's say you can find an extra hour and a half a day to practice hard.
So a year later,
you're going to listen to it for another 550 hours.
How much progress will you make in a year?
It's possible.
The second step is similar to the first step.
In the Internet age,
when most of us rest,
we either watch YouTube videos or binge-watch online.
Right?
So I want to come up with a bold idea.
You might as well stop reading English or your mother tongue from now on.
You'll learn very fast.
I promise.
As long as you stick to it for a long enough time,
the effect will be as amazing as the first step.
Okay, so we've made it to the third step, which is the secret step.
Before I tell you here,
I have to give you a pre-emptive injection.
I'm really not a lunatic.
I swear I'm not.
Why should I say that?
Because the third step is to develop a habit of talking to yourself.
I know it sounds a little weird.
But when you hear it,
you'll know why I'm saying this.
When we think to ourselves every day,
more or less,
we have a kind of inner dialogue,
which is a kind of dialogue with ourselves.
Right?
For example,
when you're alone in the office thinking about a problem,
you'll have a conversation in your head.
Oh, how do I solve this problem?
Or when you're on a date,
your girlfriend hasn't come yet.
You're waiting there.
You'll think,
oh, why hasn't she come yet?
And so on.
In fact, we encounter this very often every day.
So if you can think of a way to force your brain,
to make your brain only use target language to have this kind of inner dialogue,
then you don't have to talk about the external environment.
You even have an internal environment, right?
I guess a lot of the audience here are thinking,
oh, that sounds good.
But what exactly should I do?
Don't worry.
It's very simple.
You just have to develop a habit of talking to yourself.
When you're alone every day,
you say all your thoughts in target language.
For example,
when you're alone at home and you want to go to the bathroom,
you say,
oh, I have to go to the bathroom.
Or when you're thinking about a problem,
you say,
oh, how do I solve this problem?
And so on.
You say all these different situations out loud,
and then you'll find that it's not long before your brain naturally starts to think in target language.
Your inner dialogue smoothly turns into target language.
