Become more fluent in English: 讓你的英語更流利

Practical steps and mindset adjustments 實用步驟與心態調整

Many people want to speak English fluently, without fear, without stopping and without forgetting words. But when they try to speak, they feel nervous, they open their mouth, but no words come out. Their mind goes blank, they forget what they want to say, they feel shy and scared, and then they stop. They think my English is not good, I will never be fluent. But that's not true, you can speak English fluently, yes you can！
許多人都希望能說得一口流利的英語，毫無畏懼、不打結、不忘詞。但是，當他們嘗試開口時，卻感到緊張。他們張開嘴，卻一個字都說不出來。他們的大腦一片空白，想不起要說什麼話；他們感到害羞和害怕，然後就閉嘴了。他們心想「我的英語不好，我永遠都不可能流利的說英語。」但這絕不是不可改變的事實！你也可以說得一口流利的英語，是的，你可以的！

You don't need perfect English, you don't need big difficult words, you only need to speak clearly, confidently, and everyday. Speaking fluently means speaking simply, easily, and without fear. Today, I'll tell you how to do that, I'll explain in very easy English step-by-step, so you can follow and understand everything.
你不需要說完美的英語，也不需要又長又難的詞彙，你只需要清晰、自信、並且每天說。流利地說英語意味著簡單、輕鬆、並且沒毫不畏懼地說。今天，我就來告訴你如何做到，我會用非常簡單的英語一步步解釋，這樣你就能跟著做並理解所有內容。

First, let's understand what fluent English means, many people think it means using hard words, big grammar or long sentences, but that's not true, fluent English means you can speak without stopping too much. It means you can share your thoughts in English, you can say what you want to say, even if you make small mistakes, that's OK. If the other person understands you, your English is working. So remember, fluent doesn’t mean perfect, fluent means comfortable and easy.
首先，讓我們了解一下什麼是流利的英語。許多人認為這意味著使用艱深詞彙、複雜語法或冗長句型，但事實上不是這樣的。流利的英語意味著你說英語時不會停頓太久。這意味著你可以用英語分享你的想法，你可以說出你想說的話，即使你犯了小錯誤也沒關係，如果對方能理解你，那就可以了。所以記住了，流利並不意味著完美。流利意味著舒適和輕鬆。

Seven steps to achieve English fluency
實現英語流利的七個步驟

Now, let's talk about the st step.
現在，讓我們來談談這些步驟。

Step one: Listening
步驟一：聆聽

The first and most important step is listening. Yes listening is the key, before you speak well, you must listen well. Think about how babies learn a language, a baby listens every day for many months before speaking, the baby doesn't read grammar books, it just listens, after many months, the baby starts to speak, that's how the brain learns language.
第一個也是最重要的一步是聆聽。沒錯，聆聽才是關鍵。在你說好之前，你必須先聽好。想想嬰兒是如何學習語言的。一個嬰兒在會說話之前，會每天聆聽好幾個月。嬰兒不會讀文法書，他只是聆聽。經過許多個月後，嬰兒才開始說話。這就是大腦學習語言的方式。

So, if you want to speak English fluently. Start with listening, listen to English every day, you can listen to English podcasts ,songs, cartoons, short stories, YouTube videos or even the news. You don’t have to understand every word. Just enjoy the sound. Let words go into your ears. Your brain will remember, and slowly you will speak better.
所以，如果你想流利地說英語，先從聆聽開始。每天聽英語。你可以聽英語播客(Podcasts)、歌曲、卡通、短故事、YouTube 影片，甚至是新聞。你不必理解每一個單字，只是享受聆聽，讓這些句子進入你的耳朵，你的大腦會記住，慢慢地，你就會說得更好。

Step second: Speaking
步驟二：說話

Now, let's move to the second step, speaking every day. Yes, speak every single day, speak even if you feel shy, speak, even if you make mistakes, speak, even if you have no one to talk to. You can talk to yourself, you can stand in front of a mirror and talk, say simple sentences like: I am happy. This is my room. Today is a good day.
接下來是第二步：每天說。每天都要說。即使你感到害羞也要說，即使你犯錯也要說，即使你沒有人可以說話也要說。你可以自言自語。你可以站在鏡子前說話，說些簡單的句子，比如：「I am happy.」、「This is my room.」、「Today is a good day.」

When you speak again and again, your mouth gets used to English, your tongue and lips move more easily, you speak faster and better. Speaking is like exercise, the more you do it, the stronger you get. So don't wait for someone to speak to you, start first, just talk out loud alone everyday.
當你一遍又一遍地說時，你的嘴巴就會習慣英語。你的舌頭和嘴唇會更容易移動，你會說得更快更好。說話就像鍛鍊身體，你越鍛鍊，就會越強壯。所以，不要等別人來找你說英文，先從每天大聲對自己說英文開始。

 

Step third: Don't Be Afraid of Mistakes
步驟三：不要害怕犯錯

The third step is don't be afraid of mistakes, many learners stop speaking, because they're scared of making mistakes, but mistakes are not bad, they're good. Mistakes help you learn, every time you make a mistake, you learn something new.
第三步是不要害怕犯錯。許多學習者因為害怕犯錯而停止說英文，但犯錯並非壞處，它們是有益的。錯誤能幫助你學習。每當你犯錯時，你就會學到新的東西。

Remember, no one in the world speaks perfect English all the time, even native speakers make mistakes, they forget words, they say the wrong thing, so why should you feel bad. Just smile and try again, speak bravely, speak with confidence, your mistakes are your teachers.
記住，世界上沒有人能說著一口完美的英語。即使是母語人士也會犯錯，他們會忘詞，會說錯話。所以，你為什麼要未犯錯而感到難過呢？只要微笑，然後再說一次。勇敢地說，自信地說。你的錯誤就是你的老師。

 

Step forth: Learn Small Sentences
步驟四：學習短句子

Now the fourth step: learns small sentences. Many people try to learn difficult grammar first, they try to remember long words and complex rules, but this makes them tired and confused. So don't start with big grammar, start with small useful sentences.
現在是第四步：學習短句子。許多人一開始就想學習複雜的文法，他們試圖記住長單字和複雜的規則，但這常讓他們感到挫折和迷惑。所以，別在深奧的文法中鑽牛角尖，先從短的、有用的句子開始。

Learn how to say: What is your name? Where are you from? Can you help me? I am Learning English, these small sentences are powerful. You use them in real life, use them again and again, repeat them every day, when they become easy, you can move to longer sentences.
學習如何說：「What is your name?」，「Where are you from?」，「Can you help me?」，「I am Learning English.」，這些短句子很有用，你會在會現實生活中經常用到它們，反複使用它們，每天重複它們，當它們變得簡單時，你就可以轉向更長的句子。

 

Step fifth: Copy and Repeat - Shadowing
步驟五：模仿與重複(仿讀)

The next step is something many people forget, copy and repeat. This is also called “Shadowing”. Shadowing means listening to someone speak English, and saying the same thing after them, you copy their words, voice, tone and speed, you don't write, you just listen and speak.
下一步是許多人會忽略的事，模仿與重複。這也被稱為「跟讀(Shadowing)」。模仿練習的意思，是聽別人說英語，然後跟著他們說同樣的話，你模仿他們的話語、聲音、腔調和速度，不用寫下來，只是聽跟說。

For example, you watch a video of someone saying I like to read books you pause and say I like to read books, then the next line, do this everyday. Soon your mouth will move like a native speaker's, your fluency will improve a lot.
例如，你看一段影片，有人說：「I like to read books.」，你按下暫停然後跟著說：「I like to read books.」，然後下一行，每天這樣練習。很快的，你的嘴巴就會像母語人士一樣移動，你的流利程度會大大提高。

Step sixth: Think in English
步驟六：用英語思考

Now, a very powerful step, think in English, most learners think in their own language, then try to translate into English, this takes time and slows you down, so try to think in English, start with small things.
現在是一個非常關鍵的一步：用英語思考。大多數學習者會先用自己的語言思考，然後試圖翻譯成英語，這會浪費時間並拖慢你的說話。所以，試著用英語思考，先從小事開始。

If you want water, think I need water, if you see a dog, think this dog is cute, these small English thoughts will change your brain slowly. After some time, English will become your thinking language, then speaking will be easy and fast.
如果你想要水，就想「I need water.」，如果你看到一隻狗，就想「This dog is cute.」，這些小的英語思維會慢慢改變你的大腦。一段時間後，英語就會成為你的思考語言，那麼說話就會變得輕鬆和快速。

 

Step seventh: Practice with Others or Record
步驟七：與他人練習或錄音

Another helpful step is to practice speaking with others. If you have a friend Learning English, talk to them. Make a plan to speak English for 15 minutes every day. Talk about your day, your food, your hobbies, or your dreams, laugh, enjoy and keep speaking.
另一個有用的步驟就是：與他人練習說話。如果你有學習英語的朋友，就和他們用英語交談。制定一個每天說英語15分鐘的計畫。談論你的一天、你的食物、你的愛好或你的夢想。一起歡笑與分享並繼續說英文。

If you don't have anyone to talk to, use a voice recording app, record yourself speaking, then listen, and try again.
如果你沒有人可以說話，就使用語音錄音應用程式。錄下自己說話的內容，然後聽一聽，然後再試一次。

 

Stay positive and patient
保持積極與耐心

Always stay positive, don't say my English is bad. Say I am learning, I am getting better, don't say I can't speak, say I am practicing everyday.
要永遠保持積極的態度。不要說「My English is bad.」，要說「I am learning. I am getting better.」不要說「I can't speak.」，要說「I am practicing everyday.」。

Believe in yourself, speak slowly and clearly, don't rush. Don't worry about big grammar rules in the beginning, just use simple English. Make English part of your daily life, speak English while walking, cooking, or thinking. Slowly, English will become natural to you.
要相信自己，說慢一點，說清楚，不要著急。一開始不要擔心複雜的文法規則，只使用簡單的英語。讓英語成為你日常生活的一部分，當你走路、做飯或思考時都說英語。慢慢地，英語就會變成你的日常習慣。

And remember, learning a language takes time. It's like planting a tree. First, you plant the seed, then you water it every day, at first you see nothing, but one day, a small plant comes out, after many days, it becomes a tree. Speaking English is like that. You need time, care, and daily practice. But one day, you will speak fluently, one day you will speak without fear, one day you will say: Wow I did it.
要記住，學習一門語言需要時間。就像種一棵樹，首先你播下種子，然後你每天澆水，一開始你什麼也看不到，但有一天，一棵小苗會長出來，許多天之後，它就會變成一棵樹。說英語也是一樣。你需要時間、用心和日常練習。但總有一天，你將會說得一口流利的英語！總有一天，你將會毫無畏懼地說英語！總有一天，你會說「哇，我終於做到了！」。
