영어학습을 위한 7가지 규칙

미국의 한 웹사이트에서 보내준 영어학습의 7가지 규칙인데 상당히 훌륭한 통찰이다.

어떻게 보면 매우 기본적인 것 같기도 하지만, 학교나 학원에서 이렇게 가르치지 않았기 때문에 우리나라 사람들이

그렇게 영어회화에 약한 것이다.

지금도 우리는 영어공부하면 무의식적으로 무작정 단어 외우고 영어 문법책 보고 독해연습하지 않는가?

그만큼 우리는 어려서부터 습관이 잘못 든 것이다.

아래 7가지 규칙은 영어를 공부하려고 할 때 반드시 명심해야 할 것들이다.

 

<영어학습을 위한 7가지 규칙>

 

규칙 1:  언제나 구절 혹은 문장 만을 학습하라. 절대로 단어 하나 하나를 학습하지 마라.

규칙 2:  문법을 학습하지 마라.

규칙 3:  가장 중요한 규칙 -- 먼저 들어라. (눈으로 학습하지 말고 귀로 학습해라)

규칙 4:  천천히, 깊이 학습하는 것이 최고다. (여러번 반복해서 들어라)

When you review, always review all of the phrase,.. not the word.

Collect phrases. 

Your speaking and grammar will improve 4-5 times faster.  Always write the complete phrase.

Never again study a single word.   Never write a single word in your notebook, 

 

Learn Phrases only.

**RULE 4:  Slow, Deep Learning Is Best

  

The secret to speaking easily is to learn every word & phrase DEEPLY. 
It's not enough to know a definition.  It's not enough to remember for a test. You must put the word deep into your brain.
To speak English easily, you must repeat each lesson many times.  
You must learn English deeply. 

    Learn deeply, speak easily.
    Learn deeply, speak easily.

How do you learn deeply?  Easy--  just repeat all lessons or listening many times.  For example, if you have an audio book, listen to the first chapter 30 times before you go to the second chapter.  You could listen to the first chapter 3 times each day, for 10 days.

***RULE 5: Use Point Of View Mini-Stories

We call these stories "Point Of View Mini-Stories".  They are the most powerful way to learn and use English grammar automatically. 

       Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar

You must learn grammar by listening to real English.  The best way is to listen to stories... told in different times (points of  view):  Past, Perfect, Present, Future. 

 

How do you do this?  Easy!  Find a story or article in the present tense.  Then ask your native speaker tutor to write it again in the Past, with Perfect tenses, and in the Future.  Finally, ask him to read and record these stories for you.  

 

Then you can listen to stories with many different kinds of grammar.  You don't need to know the grammar rules.  Just listen to the Point of View stories and you will improve grammar automatically! 

 

You can also find Point of View lessons and use them to learn grammar automatically.

It is powerful.  It is simple.  It is successful. You will succeed.  You will use correct grammar naturally and automatically.  
This is the secret to English grammar.
