Georgiana: 我认为儿童学习英语比成人快的原因在于他们的学习方法与成人截然不同。孩子们学习语言就像学习走路或吃饭一样自然而然,没有压力。他们会不断地倾听、模仿和重复,从错误中学习,并且乐在其中。他们不会被语法规则束缚,而是通过简单的词汇和句子开始,逐步构建更复杂的表达。他们每天都会接触英语,持续的语言环境帮助他们快速吸收语言知识。总而言之,儿童的学习过程是自然、轻松、充满乐趣的,这使得他们能够高效地学习英语。 孩子们学习英语的秘诀在于:首先,他们学习的方式很自然,就像学习走路或吃饭一样,没有压力;其次,他们不害怕犯错,会不断尝试;第三,他们使用简单的词汇和句子;第四,他们遵循自然的学习方法,先听,再模仿,最后构建完整的句子;第五,他们每天都会接触英语,持续的语言环境帮助他们快速吸收语言知识;最后,他们学习英语的过程充满乐趣。 Lucas: 我学习英语的方式就像个孩子一样。我没有死记硬背语法规则,而是每天都听英语播客、音乐和电影,大胆地说英语,不害怕犯错。我从简单的句子开始,逐渐过渡到更复杂的句子。我通过游戏和故事来学习,让学习过程充满乐趣。总而言之,我的学习方法是自然、轻松、高效的,这使得我能够快速掌握英语。

We’ve all seen it. A child moves to a new country and, within months, is speaking the local language. Meanwhile, adults struggle for years. It seems unfair, right? People often say, “Children are like sponges!” They soak up languages quickly. But why? What makes their brains work differently? And most importantly—can adults learn like children?
