CHAPTER 1
A Better Way to Learn English

If you’ve picked up this book, chances are you’ve wanted to speak English for a
while. Maybe you’ve even taken classes. You probably need English to improve
your career. Maybe you want to travel internationally or study abroad. You know
that English is the key to international business and international travel. So let me
ask you something.

第一章
更好的英语学习方法
如果你拿起这本书，很可能你想说一段时间的英语
一会儿。也许你还上过课。你可能需要英语来提高
你的事业。也许你想出国旅游或留学。你知道的
英语是国际商务和国际旅行的关键。所以让我来
问你个问题。
Do you feel nervous or shy when you try to speak English? Do you still struggle
to understand what someone is saying to you despite years of study? Are you
embarrassed about your pronunciation or worried you speak too slowly? Are you
frustrated that despite all the time you’ve invested in learning English you still can’t
speak it? Despite your goals, is it difficult for you to actually use English in your
job, travels, or studies? Do you sometimes feel that you’ll never master spoken
English?

当你试着说英语时，你感到紧张或害羞吗？你还在挣扎吗
去理解别人对你说的话，尽管你已经学习多年了？你是吗
对你的发音感到尴尬还是担心你说得太慢？你是吗
沮丧的是，尽管你花了那么多时间在学习英语上，你还是不能
说出来？不管你的目标是什么，你在工作中真的很难用英语吗
工作、旅行还是学习？你有时会觉得你永远都不会掌握口语吗
英语？
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone. In fact, you’re
fairly typical. Most English students feel this way. Most adult English learners are
stressed and frustrated about their speaking ability. Some feel completely hopeless
and feel they’ll never be able to speak English powerfully. Not because they’re bad
at languages, but because, like you, they’ve been taught using the wrong methods.
The good thing is that it doesn’t have to be like this. There is nothing wrong with
you. You can learn to speak English naturally and with ease. You can use English
effectively in your job, travels, and studies. You can feel relaxed and confident
every time you speak English. In fact, as a long-time English teacher, I’ve helped
thousands of students all over the world become fluent and powerful English

speakers.

如果你对这些问题中的任何一个回答是肯定的，那么你并不孤单。事实上，你是
相当典型。大多数英国学生都有这种感觉。大多数成人英语学习者
对他们的口语能力感到紧张和沮丧。有些人觉得完全没有希望
而且觉得他们永远也说不出一口流利的英语。不是因为他们不好
但因为，像你一样，他们用错误的方法学习。
好在不用这样。这没有错
你。你可以轻松自然地学会说英语。你会用英语
在你的工作、旅行和学习中有效地发挥作用。你可以感到轻松和自信
每次你说英语。事实上，作为一名长期的英语老师，我帮了很多忙
成千上万的学生在世界各地成为流利和强大的英语
演讲者。
How did I do it? I did it using a teaching method I developed called Effortless
English™. Effortless English™ enables you to learn English naturally and
automatically – the way children learn before they enter school. Too often, English
classes get so focused on tests, textbooks, grades and “levels,
” students forget why
they’re there in the first place. They forget about the real world goals of a more
successful career and exciting international travel. With Effortless English™ you
never lose sight of the fact that the ultimate goal of learning a language is
communication. Instead, you learn to speak English both quickly and with more
precision.

我是怎么做到的？我是用我发明的一种叫做“毫不费力”的教学方法来做的
英语™. 轻松学习英语™ 使你能自然地学习英语
自动-孩子们上学前的学习方式。很多时候，英语
课程的重点放在考试、课本、成绩和“水平”上，
“学生们忘了为什么
他们一开始就在那里。他们忘记了现实世界的目标
成功的事业和令人兴奋的国际旅行。用轻松的英语™ 你
永远不要忘记学习一门语言的最终目标是
沟通。相反，你学习说英语既快又多
精确。

Effortless?I understand if you’re skeptical – particularly if you’ve been trying to learn English
the traditional way. You’ve put in the hours: memorizing vocabulary lists, doing
grammar drills, reading boring textbooks. “How?” you’re thinking,
“can speaking
English possibly be effortless?”
Believe me, I feel your pain.
Back when I started teaching 15 years ago, my students were all excited to begin
conversing in English. And I was excited to help them. At that time, I taught in the
usual way. I used textbooks and I focused on teaching grammar. I thought this was
the best way to teach, and none of my students complained.

不费吹灰之力？如果你怀疑的话我能理解——特别是如果你一直在努力学习英语的话
传统的方式。你花了很多时间：背单词表，做
语法练习，阅读枯燥的课本。”怎么做？“你在想，
“你会说话吗
英语可能不费吹灰之力吗？”
相信我，我感觉到你的痛苦。
回到15年前我开始教书的时候，我的学生们都很兴奋能开始
用英语交谈。我很高兴能帮助他们。那时，我在学校教书
通常的方式。我用课本，我专注于教语法。我以为这是
最好的教学方法，我的学生没有一个抱怨。
I still remember one particularly intelligent student of mine from Venezuela
named Gladys. Gladys was determined to speak English well. Talk about effort!
Gladys attended every one of my classes. She always sat in the center of the front
row. I can still picture her eager and smiling face. She took detailed notes. She
listened to every word I said. She also studied at home. Every day Gladys studied

her English textbooks for four hours or more. She also tried to learn 50 new
vocabulary words by memorizing word lists. Gladys was my star student and I, too,
was sure she would succeed.

我还记得我的一个特别聪明的委内瑞拉学生
叫格拉迪斯。格拉迪斯决心要说一口流利的英语。谈谈努力！
格拉迪斯参加了我的每一堂课。她总是坐在前排中间
行。我仍然能想象她热切而微笑的脸。她做了详细的笔记。她
听我说的每一句话。她也在家学习。格拉迪斯每天都在学习
她的英语课本读了四个多小时。她还尝试学习50门新课程
通过记忆单词表来增加单词的词汇量。格拉迪斯是我的明星学生，我也是，
她肯定会成功。
Six months later, however, she still could barely speak English. Her speech was
hesitant and unnatural. She constantly made grammar mistakes with even the
simplest sentences. Her pronunciation was difficult to understand. She still thought
in Spanish and tried to translate to and from English when she spoke. Worst of all,
Gladys felt nervous every time she tried to speak English. Speaking English was a
painful experience for her.
Gladys was extremely frustrated. After so much effort, she had barely improved.
As her teacher, I too was frustrated. I was sure Gladys would improve quickly and
couldn’t understand why she had not. I followed all of the traditional teaching
methods. I used the standard textbooks and the standard classroom activities. Gladys
was intelligent, disciplined and consistent, and yet her English speaking barely
improved.

然而，六个月后，她仍然几乎不会说英语。她的演讲很精彩
犹豫不决和不自然。她经常犯语法错误，甚至连最简单的句子也不例外
最简单的句子。她的发音很难听懂。她仍然认为
当她说西班牙语时，她试着翻译英语。最糟糕的是，
格拉迪斯每次想说英语都感到紧张。说英语是一种乐趣
她痛苦的经历。
格拉迪斯非常沮丧。经过这么多的努力，她几乎没有好转。
作为她的老师，我也很沮丧。我相信格拉迪斯会很快进步的
我不明白她为什么没有。我遵循了所有的传统教学法
方法。我使用标准的教科书和标准的课堂活动。格拉迪斯
她很聪明，纪律严明，始终如一，但她的英语说得很少
改进。
Sadly, I realized that Gladys wasn’t the only one who had not improved. Her
classmates also had barely improved. It was frustrating, and I felt like a complete
failure as a teacher. But when I asked my colleagues for help, it turned out they had
the same problem – very few of their students were improving either! At that point,
I realized something was wrong – something is wrong with standard methods for
teaching English. The worst part for me was that everyone accepted this situation as
“normal.” The other teachers didn’t seem to be concerned about their students’ lack
of progress. All the teachers were using the same methods and getting the same
poor results.
In most parts of the world, students study English in school for years. Yet, the vast
majority of them never learn to speak English well. After years of study, they still
have trouble with real English conversations. They still feel nervous and shy about
speaking.

可悲的是，我意识到格拉迪斯并不是唯一一个没有进步的人。她
同学们也几乎没有进步。这是令人沮丧的，我觉得像一个完整的
作为老师的失败。但当我向我的同事求助时，结果发现他们帮了忙
同样的问题-他们的学生中也很少有人在进步！那时，
我意识到有些地方不对劲——标准的方法有些地方不对劲
教英语。对我来说，最糟糕的是每个人都接受了这种情况
“正常。”其他老师似乎并不关心他们学生的缺乏
进步的象征。所有的老师都用同样的方法，得到同样的答案
糟糕的结果。
在世界上大部分地区，学生在学校里学习英语多年。然而，巨大的
他们中的大多数人从未学好英语。经过多年的学习，他们仍然
在真正的英语会话中有困难。他们仍然感到紧张和害羞
讲话。
A few years after my experience with Gladys, I got a job as an English teaching
assistant in Japan. I was excited and eager to help these young students learn my
language. I still remember my first day. I was sitting at the front of the class next to
the main teacher, who was Japanese. As the students came into the room, they saw
me and giggled nervously. They sat down and continued to shyly glance up at me.
They were sweet and curious.
Then the class started. The main teacher wrote an English sentence on the board. I
don’t remember the exact sentence, but it was something like,
“The little girl goes to
school.” The teacher pointed to the sentence and began to talk in Japanese.

在格拉迪斯工作几年后，我找到了一份英语教师的工作
在日本的助理。我很兴奋，很想帮助这些年轻的学生学习我的英语
语言。我仍然记得我的第一天。我坐在教室的前面，旁边是
主要老师是日本人。当学生们走进房间时，他们看到
我紧张地笑了起来。他们坐下来，继续羞怯地抬头看我。
他们既亲切又好奇。
然后上课开始了。主老师在黑板上写了一个英语句子。我
我不记得确切的句子，但好像是，
“小女孩去了
老师指着句子开始用日语交谈。

The students all grabbed their notebooks and began writing. Everyone was very serious.
Next, the teacher circled the word “goes.” She pointed at the word and continued
speaking in Japanese. She talked and talked and talked, in Japanese. The students
wrote quickly, filling their notebooks with information. Finally, the teacher drew a
line from the word “goes” to the word “girl.” And then she talked more, on and on
and on, in Japanese.

学生们都抓起笔记本开始写字。大家都很认真。
接下来，老师把“去”这个词圈起来。她指着这个词继续说
说日语。她用日语说啊说啊说。学生们
写得很快，在笔记本上写满了信息。最后，老师画了一幅画
从“goes”到“girl”的台词。然后她说了很多，不停地说
等等，用日语。
This continued for the entire class. The teacher drew lines, circles, and squares.
She used different colored chalk. And she continued speaking Japanese.
I was totally confused. I am a native speaker of English, and I was sitting in a
beginning English class. Yet I could not understand anything in the class (except for
that one sentence). I was thinking to myself,
“What could this teacher possibly be
talking about so much?

整个班级都是这样。老师画了线、圆和正方形。
她用了不同颜色的粉笔。她继续说日语。
我完全糊涂了。我是一个以英语为母语的人，我坐在一个房间里
开始上英语课。但我在班上什么都听不懂（除了
一句话）。我在想，
“这个老师可能是什么
说那么多？

It’s just one sentence.” Yet the teacher spent an entire hour
analyzing, explaining, and dissecting that one simple sentence. Finally, at the end of
the class, the teacher asked me to read the sentence aloud “for pronunciation.” I read
the sentence a couple of times, and that was the only real English input the students
got that day.

只是一句话，“可是老师花了整整一个小时
分析、解释和剖析这一简单的句子。最后，在
上课时，老师让我大声朗读“为了发音”这句话
这句话说了好几遍，这是学生们唯一真正的英语输入
我有那一天。
Sadly, this same pattern repeated every day. Day by day, I watched the students’
enthusiasm and curiosity disappear. They became bored. They became stressed and
confused. Every day they wrote pages of notes, mostly in Japanese. Every day the
teacher talked and talked and talked, mostly in Japanese. I couldn’t understand why
an English class was being taught mostly in Japanese. During the average class, the
students were listening to Japanese 90% of the time or more. They heard very little
English. No wonder they never learned to speak! No wonder they were frustrated
and confused.

可悲的是，这种模式每天都在重复。一天又一天，我看着学生们的表演
热情和好奇心消失了。他们变得厌烦了。他们变得紧张起来
困惑的。他们每天都写一页又一页的笔记，大部分是日语。每天
老师说啊，说啊，说啊，主要是日语。我不明白为什么
一节英语课主要用日语授课。在普通的课堂上
学生90%以上的时间都在听日语。他们听到的很少
英语。难怪他们从来没有学会说话！难怪他们很沮丧
而且很困惑。
Honestly, it broke my heart to watch as the school crushed these students’ natural
love of learning. It was terrible to watch them grow bored, frustrated, and stressed.
And six months later, none of the students could speak to me at all, not even the
simplest conversation. This kind of situation is repeated in English classes all over
the world.

老实说，看着学校打压这些学生的天性，我很伤心
热爱学习。看着他们变得无聊、沮丧和紧张，真是太可怕了。
六个月后，没有一个学生能和我说话，甚至连老师也不能
最简单的对话。这种情况在各地的英语课堂上屡见不鲜
世界。
