主持人: 我认为嘉宾为了学英语而选择去尼泊尔学习很神奇,并且他的英语学习进度很快。我建议嘉宾来尼泊尔学习英语,因为这里有时间自由的优势。持续听英语,最终能够听懂。通过持续听英语播客,我的英语听力水平在一年或两年后得到了显著提高。一位朋友通过听几千小时的英语播客,英语水平有了很大提高,能够接外包项目。一位朋友通过重复听懂的单词,逐步提高英语听力水平。我学习英语的动机是出于对足球的爱好,通过持续听英语足球播客来学习英语。在尼泊尔生活近一个月,我的英语水平有了很大的进步。在尼泊尔学习英语,不可能在短时间内取得显著进步。杨振宁认为学习英语的关键是理解音块的重要性。单纯背单词是学习英语最愚蠢的方式之一。记住英语单词发音后再记忆拼写,比反过来更容易。在尼泊尔,人们的生活节奏更轻松,人际关系也更简单。尼泊尔的社会治安比中国更好。建议家长带孩子来尼泊尔旅游,开阔视野。很多人对国外的认知存在误解。一些人会使用一些极端言论来激发民族主义情绪。避免讨论一些容易引起争议的话题。选择与自己观点相符的人交流,避免无谓的争论。有信仰的人做事更有原则。没有信仰的人更容易做出一些可怕的事情。现在社会更容易形成共识。在网络上会遇到各种各样的人和观点。一些人会试图说服别人接受自己的观点。选择与自己观点相符的人交流,避免无谓的争论。与网络上的朋友关系比与亲戚关系更好。我不认同父母干涉自己人生的观念。一些偏方可能无效,但也不一定有害。与不同世界观的人交流很困难。重男轻女的观念在一些地区仍然很严重。重男轻女的观念导致一些社会问题。养儿防老的观念已经逐渐消失。女权主义运动是矫枉过正的表现。在尼泊尔学习英语后,我对未来更有信心。很多人对国外的认知存在误解。选择与自己兴趣相投的朋友更容易。学习英语后,去欧美国家旅游。 嘉宾: 我觉得尼泊尔人民友善,社会治安良好,让我感到安全。我为了学习英语,放弃了在国内找工作,选择来到尼泊尔学习英语,因为在国内自学英语太痛苦了。在尼泊尔生活成本低,一个月吃住加学费可能不需要3000块钱。尼泊尔年轻人英语普及率很高,但口音较重。我计划在学习英语后,去东南亚其他国家旅行和学习。我用自己的中文拼音作为英文名,因为我还没想好合适的英文名。我在国内自学英语一年后,因为找不到工作,选择去尼泊尔学习英语。我在国内自学英语一年,英语基础很差,学习过程很痛苦。我在国内自学英语一年,积累了六七千个阅读词汇。我通过反复听雅思听力材料来提高听力水平,这个过程很痛苦。我选择去尼泊尔是为了改变学习环境,并且节省开支。通过在whatsapp上用英语聊天,来提高英语表达能力。通过持续写作,并使用AI工具修改,来提高英语写作能力。尼泊尔的网络环境开放,但经济条件较差。尼泊尔年轻人学习外语是为了出国工作。在尼泊尔,空气污染严重。在日本工作需要掌握日语。在国外,更容易找到与自己兴趣相投的朋友。我计划在尼泊尔学习烘焙和咖啡课程。学习烘焙和咖啡技能,对在国外找工作有帮助。在英语水平提高后,再进行旅游和社交活动会更好。尼泊尔的生活成本低,而且人们友善。尼泊尔的寺庙管理比较宽松,不需要严格的购票制度。尼泊尔的寺庙是当地人生活和宗教活动的重要场所。在峨眉山游玩时,被猴子抢包的经历。尼泊尔不吃牛肉,但可以吃水牛肉。在尼泊尔,牛可以自由地在路上行走。尼泊尔的狗很幸福,因为它们自由自在,有人喂食。建议来尼泊尔旅游,至少停留两周以上。在尼泊尔学习英语后,我对未来更有信心。我支持这一点因为这是非常公平的我们已经做过贡献了没有利息就不错了是吧。
