懂你英语8级

达标不难，只有坚持每天练，就可以达标。但是返现就难说了！一不小心就进他们的坑！我报的一年返现，每次学习完毕，系统时不时就送学习时间，往之前的总时间上累加。但是系统又不把本来报的时间和送的时间区别开来，一年下来我早把具体时间忘记了，只大概记得是一月到期，然后只有系统显示的到期日。然后我就呵呵了……我还以为自己还有20天的时间才到达标日呢，结果这20几天其实都是送的，达标日早过了，谁叫我自己不记得了呢……活该啊！再就是数据的准确性也有待商榷说我一月二号是达标日，达标日显示是169个小时，但是我自己的系统上在一月七日显示的是194个小时……我保证这五天我没有用25个小时读流利说反正我现在就觉得流利说是个大坑，什么返现，只是为了吸引人的，稍不留神就会掉下去。顺便提一下学习效果见他的鬼每天半小时提高多少个level你自己是什么样的英语底子，大概就能学到个什么level，想要真正提高，一样得花别的时间来学语法记单词我们英语小组的几个成员，没有一个继续续费的，都表示学习效果不好

花钱99人民币，花时间1120分钟，我截下这张图的时候真的被吓到了，因为我以为我根本用不下去这个软件，这也是为什么我之学习了19天的原因，因为剩下很多天实在是对懂你课程彻底失去了兴趣。（吐槽都在文章第3部分） 始终感觉自己的英语表达与汉语表达把自己拉扯成了两个不同世界的人，有着不同性格的个体。原因最主要就是英语的词汇表达始终不够丰富，好多时候还在把自己高维的汉语思维降维到低维的英语表达中去。还有一个原因就是高中后半段包括大学都在国外，自然而然这段时间学到的，领悟到的很多是从英语世界中汲取的，这些思维与表达始终与中文的文化有不好匹配的地方。 正是因为自己的英语口语太弱，可能网上面试的时候影响最恶劣，申请的大多数职位都卡在这一关了。就在临近考试的时候一个本地学生跟我聊起来说我发音始终不清楚，就连他作为母语水平的人还得尖着耳朵听。我也不是从来没有注意到过，不过那天晚上一下子脑子里翻江倒海回想了好多以前别人重复问道 sorry，what did you say, 或者是老师恳切地指正，都是希望能让我明白要好好讲话，speak properly。 所以我是带着训练口语的流利度和发音找到流利说的，至于词汇阅读什么的我觉得也不适合流利说这个名字。 但是流利说 挂羊头不止卖羊肉，还卖狗肉吧。 从来没用过流利说，点开就看到可以测试英语水平。测试共分三个阶段，每个阶段侧重点不同，词汇，口语，听力都会测到。我的报告如下 我没想到我得发音拿满分，看来放慢速度认真讲的确应该很清楚，这也是为什么流利度分数低的原因吧。但是当时没有注意那么多，只是看到从level 5到level 8 就可以达到接近母语水平的级别，按照报告生成个人定制的的专属学习计划，只要99块就可以上这个定制课程，也不缺这个钱就尝试一下。那么接下来我就讲一讲我的感受。 学语言就是要去读，为了纠正读音，去一遍一遍听标准的读音，再听自己残缺的录音，然后去调整。流利说的课程录制的是美式发音，非常好听，这个我真的要夸一下，而且发音老师对语气的把控非常好，句子的连读都很标准。 我之后很快意识到我要用更自然的声音去读，这样我的声音更有力量，更坚定。往往我以前学英语的时候都会用一种太认真的有点装洋人的口气去读句子，反而显得很不自然，声音也会自然调高，跟我讲中文的时候不在一个调子上。 如果我用高一点的调子去讲话这样的效果呢是想引起别人的注意，这其实是一个坏习惯，这样你的声音就是飘着的，中气不足，不信你可以试一下。在更自然的情况下你能注意到你要说话的内容也能学得更快，而且的的确确的表现就是声音的评价分数也更高了，语音语调也更好控制。这样流利说录音本来80多分突然就能蹦到90多分。 我一直能感到我的下巴（jaw）不够灵活，尤其体现在读更开口更大的音节。比如au，ou和ai。e.g. I d on 't think so , this is h ow you make the difference 正因为这个原因呢，我的发音位置更靠近嘴部，当然这在讲中文的时候体现的就是南方人的口音，讲英文的时候呢就听起来不是很舒服了，就体现在不能说标准的英语。这样一来就需要更多口腔中部的活动和振动发声。为了让口腔中后部的发生更饱满，我就需要更灵活的活动我的下巴。 在学习流利说的时候要注意英式发音和美式发音的区别，这点很重要，因为英式发音和美式发音的区别是很大的，主要体现在两个方面。第一个是flap of the tongue，英国人说water的时候，t是发音很清晰的，而美国人更像是在用 d 这个音弹了一下，没有清稀的 t                         第二个是rhotic R (schwa sound),British accent leaves it open. 比如bird 在美国人口中就是birrrrrd 如果流利说用的英国发音有时候可能会识别不出。 练习的时候一定要用力的发音，速度不重要，力道很重要，有时候自己感觉夸张其实听起来很普通。所以一定要注意把每一个音节都读清楚了。当你觉得自己夸张的时候你就进步了，因为你突破了自己曾经习以为常的发声方式。 课程不是我想的那样只是专注于锻炼口语和听力，这该怪我自己没有研究好吧。 其实这个课程跟传统课程一样什么都有，有单词，有口语，有阅读，有听力。如果之前清楚的话可能就不会选择这门课程了。毕竟我本来也只想花一个月的时间把听说更上一层楼，能听不够，能准确的复述才算真正听懂了。 我希望对自己的要求是像记者和发言人一样对英语中的每一个词句有准确的理解和表达，而不愿意自己的水平依旧停留在一个老外上不了台的阶段，希望自己能对更多地表达和用词有敏感度，要尽力去贴合一个母语使用者对其语言的敏感程度。 为什么课程不能跳过很烦呢，因为阅读，词汇对我来说的确是太过简单了，但是又占比例非常多。 一开始还能很感兴趣地研究一下这些内容地选材的趣味性，而且对一些词汇有复习作用，对一些高中完形填空阅读理解的回忆也还算有趣。后来就感觉掉入了以前学校教英语应试的坑中，大篇幅的听和读而十分少的口语输出很明显让我感到不适。 说到底很多内容用了很好的动画效果和很优美的地道录音但也只是不停的向学习者输入知识，实际运用的机会，锻炼口语的机会相对来讲是很小的一部分。在播放视频的时候每时每刻可以跟读但课程的内容因为跟词汇和阅读的水平是挂勾的都很简单，使得复述跟读简单的句子没什么必要。 APP使用效果不好。用其他的录音软件我可以清晰的听到自己的声音，而使用流利说的时候就算是用大一倍的音量，把嘴抵在手机麦克风上说，声音还是比其他软件的录音效果差，音量依然小，而且声音模糊不清，有点像是捂着嘴讲话。这个可能也要看手机。我试了两个安卓手机的流利说都是这个效果，不知道苹果手机会不会就不一样。 懂你课程并没有所谓的专属定制课程，不过就是从1到8中间划了个级别给你。很容易遇到像我一样的情况，词汇阅读快到GRE，但口语比较弱，而懂你的课程根本没有这样的复杂度，不能按照你不同能力水平给你生成一套你自己的课程。正式因为听说读写都是要测试的内容，而我仅是想弥补我的口语的弱项。因为复述的质量不高导致等级考试只能到达5级，但阅读,语法和词汇应该是早已高于5级的要求。所以总的来说依然是因为课程太过均衡，没有尽力向锻炼口语倾斜。 你在5级的话，一个级别会有3个单元，那么所有的听力，阅读，词汇，语法，口语训练都是用的一套内容，一个级别内互相贯通的。比如中间词汇课学到的词一会儿阅读要用，要听，要复述。5级的内容多为初高中内容，可想而知我是多苦恼。 其实单词的学习本身在其课程中就太少量了，一个级别可能100个单词都不到。总共只有8个级别。单词学起来不如去随便买本阅读训练，拿本单词书，应该是很容易快速学习记忆的，根本不应该放在于口语学习一起的模块里。同样的时间你跟本在流利说里学不到几个单词。 整个软件的学习模块动画速度不能变化，不能跳过，如果你在最后一道题的时候用完了错题机会那么你得又花5到10分钟从头开始学那一节课或者做一个测试。之后还得重复之前看过的所有动画，虽然这次重放的时候有跳过的功能但动画效果特别长，每次按跳过过后依然需要等2秒左右，非常麻烦。 正如前面所说，这个课程说是定制学习，只是8个级别的课程你测完5到10分钟的测试之后之后可以被划分到一个级别，但这个级别的语法，词汇，阅读理解，听力，口语都一致的标准化，没有任何定制的作用。8个级别，5分钟的测试是没不能很好掌握到学生在英语学习各方面的强项和弱项的。就算是可以，流利说的懂你课程并没有依据各项能力测试为每一项技能匹配不同的难度以达到定制化学习各项英语技能的目的 个人认为这还是一个为初级学习者，或者初高中英语水平的朋友准备的，而且最好是各项能力都算薄弱或者不强才能在有限的时间内有最大的收获。而对于我来说这样的一次学习很多时候只是机械的重复了一遍我已经知道的东西，浪费了很多无谓地等待，所以对我来说是没有必要的。流利说应该还是有很多好产品的，应当注意如果有某一方面技能培养的需要那就直接选一门专项培训课，不应当选这种综合课程。不过我也不清楚一二级的课程到底会有多简单。 以前报过沪江网课，不过他们的班级没有懂你课程微信互动这么大的学习鼓动性。 99个人会成立一个班级，有开班仪式，结班仪式，每日达标，四人分为课程小组，有一些零散的干货，不定时的口语练习小活动，每周还有班级排名表。总而言之只要还在用微信就能看到这个班。如果课程内容设置的很好，我又有时间的话我肯定会天天学一个小时，周末两三个小时的。 做销售的班主任是异常的热情，只要有一天没学习，班主任就来问候你了。过节也会来问候，当然结班得的时候就各种好礼诱惑你继续报下一期的学习，”争取学完Level 8，达到接近母语使用者水平“    我是看不出来怎么有这个效果。 后来我偶然听到潘吉学英语的podcast，还不错，才知道也有开言这个APP。不过他们的收费贵多了，是按照至少半年的会员费用缴纳的。不过也有免费的课程和podcast 可以听。课程也是全英文，不过互动感更强，是全英文听力再紧接着两个老外或者其他发音标准的英语老师两个人用对话的方式全英文讲解，也是美音。每一节内容大概十分钟左右。 这个对听力有一定要求，课程按照A1到C2的设置是ok的。我觉得好在不像懂你课程一样，必须要把所有要学习的单词强制过一遍，效率很低，开言这边比较灵活，例句，单词，口语复述都是随你便。所以买了会员过后就像听歌一样所有资源你都可以租用一阵子，没有强制升级的感觉，更像是自学。 我因为工作需要，学习需要，随时随地都在跟英文打交道，但是想要真正地取得进步还是需要认真的做笔记，分析，总结，使用的。 以前扩充词汇的时候就是背单词，看新闻。 练听力就是看YouTube，听podcast，刷剧刷电影。但是我还是需要英文字幕。 我最近发觉想要让自己的英语再自然的话，我绕不过的坎就是collocation和idiom 这是我在边看边学习很多英文采访中的表达过后能明确感觉到的差距。英语作为我的第二语言就算能流利的表达也不能自如地使用就是因为没有领悟到语言中最狱中不同的文化特点。每种语言最浅显的表达都是相通的，句子结构都是一致的，最不同的就在那些无法直接理解的固定搭配或者是习惯用语之中，正如成语赋予了中文很多文化内涵，我们的表达因为成语而变得具有文化属性，这种对语言的敏感让我们对中文由衷的喜爱而且不能摆脱。然后我就写下了我2019的新年愿望 这下面就是最近看的书了，剑桥的English in use 系列真的非常不错，这个我向大家推荐一下。个人认为书中的句子把词语搭配和习语按模块编写很帮助学习，而且例句都很实用。 以前总是觉得多背单词就行了，不会用学了也是白学，这也是我告诫自己今年要好好领悟词汇搭配的原因，书中有一段Why learn collocations 我觉得说得非常好，更让我明确了我的目标。
