Before I started to learn Kungfu English,about 7 months ago,I was used to learn English through the way of analyzing which would take so much more time than it really needed to be.Remember when I learned English for the first time, 3 grade in primary, just to copy the pronunciation from my English teacher, which was easy to go and didn’t need to think the grammar or something deeper.Subsequently, I went to another school, and then I need to get the meaning of the words, the word changes, the fix phrases, the grammar and the pronunciation with Chinese accent.At that time,most of the students like me didn’t know whether the approaches of learning was right or not, just learning.There was no somewhere that we can go to copy real English language or to use it.And only through the translations of words in the textbook,we cannot sense what word can actually be used in which place and at which time.What we have already learned cannot help us to get the patterns of English or to know how to string words together to creare the meanings that you want to communicate.I think that maybe the main cause that most Chinese people cannot master this language.
I came across an English teacher who is Chinese and now lives in America.When he told me that he had recited a 20,000-word dictionary and still wasn’t truly fluent in English,I was so surprised.What a tough task!If I want to master English language,then I need to do the same thing and even harder.And many expert English teacher told me that there was no any other way of learning but reciting words, the more, the better.
But now I know that there is a different way that we can learn any new language easily and quickly,many people have done it.Imagine for a moment, when you come into the world with no words and no grammar, you still learn it under the most difficult conditions.You are a language genius.So what did you do?Did you copy just like me, just like anyone in the world?We copy to learn anything in addition to language.Long before we went to school, we had learned our mother tongue.After we went to school, teachers taught us that copying is bad, and we should do things by ourselves.So we try to not copy.
It’s two phases of one thing.At the beginning you want to learn something, you firstly should copy.Secondly,when you learn it and make it your own, you should go on and develop your own style.However,we just learn the way of the second phase,with no basis, which makes the learning even harder.
In this case,I started my copying adventure of learning English.
