Julian suggests creating an English-speaking environment daily, including reading China Daily, watching English videos or cartoons, repeating what you hear to improve pronunciation, volunteering where foreign tourists need help, practicing listening by filling in missing lyrics from songs, and avoiding Chinese subtitles while watching videos.
Using simple sentences ensures clarity and maintains a unified topic. Complex sentences can confuse the message, especially in conversations or short writings like emails.
Learners should spend about three times the duration of their Cambly classes reviewing and practicing outside of class. For example, if a class is 30 minutes, they should dedicate 90 minutes to external practice.
Julian advises against over-relying on dictionaries. Instead, learners should try to understand new words through the context of sentences, which helps in better language comprehension and retention.
Volunteering in such places provides opportunities to practice speaking English with native speakers, enhancing conversational skills and confidence in real-life situations.
Thank you for tuning in again. Today, I am hosting the second special episode sponsored by Cambly. If you have already listened to the first one on September 28th, you probably know what Cambly is all about. But, if this is your first time, I am happy to introduce Cambly to you.

Last time, I spoke with Laura, who is a Canadian English tutor and has taught three years in China before. She gave some great suggestions of English learning for beginners. So, as a follow- up, today I am going to talk to Julian, who is from America. And we will focus on how to advance English level for experienced learners.

Julian给大家的一些学习建议:
(4:12”) 对已经有一定学习经验的英语学习者,如何更好的提高英语水平呢?Julian建议你为自己创造一个每天都能接触到的、学习英语的语境,这里的语境包括了听说读等几个方面。
(8:35”) 无论是说还是写,尽量使用简单的句子,以保证一个统一的主题。不要试图用太复杂的句子。Be simple and direct.
(9:47”) Julian建议你在课外,花大概三倍于课程的时间来复习和回顾,以巩固你的学习成果。
(11:08”) 不要过度依赖于字典来理解新词的意思。要学会通过句子的上下文,来体会生词的含义,以达到更好的学习效果。这是很多学习都遇到的问题,希望你能避免。
