Introduce BrainSoaking

What is BrainSoaking? In my mind it is just like putting your brain into the language sound ocean, soaking it. When you are soaking your brain, what will going on? Imagine for a moment, you listen to the syllables of the languange, and maybe you don’t know the meaning of the words. You can’t tell the differences between syllables, and everything seems like unfamiliar, fast, even fuzz to you. Don’t be afraid! Just exposing yourself to the language,  listening to it closely, gradually, your brain is able to filter out something useful for you, and you will find that the speed of the language seems more and more slowly and you can even hear clearly some of the words. Don’t analyze, don’t translate, and even don’t try to catch the meaning of it. Only allowing the sounds flow over your brain can your pattern recognition ability come into play naturally. This power pulls the language apart, priorities, identifies, and highlights the things you hear, and then pulls out the highlight bits for you into your conscious mind to practise.

This is really an fascinating thing that makes me mesmerized. What? If I want to learn a language quickly and effectively, then I’d better listen to the language priority. Oh no, I feel that I have ever learned English in the totally wrong way, the other way.And any native speaker learned their mother tongue starting by listening.

Therefore, if you want to learn a language as soon as possible, you need to start with brainsoaking.
