How can words be heard/understood?#

  • Listen > Read = Speak > Write (Vocabulary task priority)
  • The premise of understanding is to read correctly! (Basically)
  • The essence of correct reading is to model correct voice! (instead of memorizing phonetic symbols)
  • Read it correctly, it is a necessary condition for being able to use it, but it is not sufficient, and it must be used repeatedly (don’t forget)
  • Use the words you have memorized as much as possible every day (sentences, scenes)
  • In the process of use, someone needs to interact and correct (you can't practice by yourself)

Formulate/Proceduralize Spoken Expressions#

  • Commonly used sentence patterns = universal formula (farewell to Chinese translation)
  • Sentence pattern accumulation = thinking establishment (subconscious, conditioned reflex)
  • Daily sentence-making exercises (targeted training, get twice the result with half the effort)
