?Hello I'm Emma from mmmEnglish! If becoming a fluent English speaker is part of your plan and you want to make it happen next year in 2020, then you need to keep watching this video.

大家好，我是 Emma，歡迎來到美味英語頻道！如果說一口流利的英語是你2020年計劃中的一部分，你想在這接下來的這一年完成這個計劃的話，那么你需要繼續看下去咯。

I'll be sharing four things that you need to do in the coming year if you're planning to become fluent in English within twelve months.

And it starts today right now and I'm going to warn you that there's going to be some tough love happening here some strong words.

我會分享如果你想要在十二個月的時間內說一口流利的英語，在接下來的這一年需要做的事情。就從今天開始，我要先警告大家一下哦，接下來我非常嚴厲，會夾雜著一些語氣很重的話。

Perhaps ones that you don't really want to hear or ones that you've been pretending that you can't hear for a while but these are words that you need to hear.

If you're going to make English fluency your goal for the year ahead, you need to change the way that you're acting.

也許會有你們不想聽到的，或者是暫時假裝聽不到的話，但是這些話你們需要聽。如果你們明年的目標是說一口流利的英語的話，你需要改變行動方式。

You need to change your behaviour, do something differently and that's what we're talking about today. . . . . . .

你需要改變自己的行為，以不同的方式處理一些事情，那就是我們今天所要討論的事情。

This lesson is sponsored by The Ladies' Project, a unique online community for women learning English as a second language.

If you've been telling yourself that the only way to become fluent in English is to live in an English-speaking country, well, you just need to stop that. It's not true. It's simply something that you've been telling yourself to make an excuse for why you're not already fluent.

如果你們一直在告訴自己說一口流利的英語的唯一方式是生活在說英語的國家，那么你們需要停止這么想。并不是這樣的。這只不過是你一直在告訴自己，來為自己為什么說的還不流利找一個借口罷了。

That's the tough love right here. Right now, it's completely possible for you to create an English life for yourself, no matter where you are in the world and I'll talk about that a little bit more later on.

這就是嚴厲的愛。現在為自己創造一個英語生活是完全可能的，不管你在世界的哪個角落，而我接下來會繼續討論這個話題。

Let's get started on the four things that you need to do to become fluent in English within a year. Find motivation.

讓我們以接下來的一年為了說一口流利的英語你需要做的四件事情開始吧。尋找到目標。

Get really, really clear on why you want to be fluent, so clear that you can actually see and feel what it's like to be there. What are all the awesome amazing things that you'll be able to do when you become fluent?

要非常非常明確你為什么想說一口流利的英語，明確到你能真正的看到、感受到它是什么樣子的。當你能說一口流利的英語之后，你將能夠做什么超級贊的事情呢？

Imagine yourself there. Feel it.

想象一下吧。感受一下。

Smell it. This is your motivation, the fuel you need to keep practising, to keep learning and keep reviewing, to keep putting yourself in situations that are outside of your comfort zone.

聞一下。這是你的目標，是你持續練習、持續學習、持續復習、持續讓自己走出舒適區的動力。

I mean, let's not kid ourselves. There are and there always will be days when you feel frustrated with English and you feel like giving up, you can't be bothered, you just want to make a new plan, right?

我的意思是，我們不要騙自己。總會有這樣的日子你會對英語感到非常沮喪，你想要放棄，你真的厭煩了，想要制定一個新的計劃，對嗎？

One that doesn't involve English at all. But this is the reason why so many of us fail at things that we try or we don't get as far as we want to because we don't have enough fuel to get there.

一個根本沒有英語的計劃。但是這是為什么我們其中的很多人嘗試之后會失敗的原因，或者是我們沒有走到想要走的那么遠的原因，因為我們并沒有足夠的動力達成目標。

Without a really clear motivation, it's easy to get distracted, to lose focus and to let your attention be taken away from your English practice and put onto something else and that is absolutely fine as long as you're not bothered about being fluent by the end of the year.

If you're happy for it to take longer, for it to be a slower process, well that's fine but we're talking about making this happen in the next twelve months, okay?

沒有一個非常明確的目標，就很容易被干擾，很容易失去重心，讓注意力從英語練習中被分散，放到其他的事情上去，當然如果你年底并不想說一口流利的英語的話，這是完全可以的。如果你很愿意多花點時間，讓這個過程變慢一點，那沒問題啊，但是我們討論的是在接下來的十二個月達成目標，對嗎？

So we need to take drastic action. So I want you to take this opportunity now to declare your motivation here.

所以我們需要采取強有力的行動。所以我希望大家抓住這個機會說一下自己的動力。

Tell me in the comments what is your fuel that will help you to keep your English goals as a priority throughout 2020? Tell me down in the comments.

請在評論區告訴我會幫助你讓英語一直保持為2020年的頭等目標的動力是什么。請在評論區告訴我吧。

The second thing you need to do is financially commit and that means putting some money on the table, putting some skin in the game. So in my experience, money is a huge motivator for me, for my students, for my friends and family.

你們需要做的第二件事情是財務上的投入，那也就意味著要拿出點錢來。在我的經驗中，錢對于我而言，對于我的學生而言，對于我的朋友和家人而言都是非常大的一個激勵因素。

For some people money is the biggest motivation right? Putting your hand into your pocket or your wallet and pulling out some of the money that you worked so hard for, doing that almost instantly changes your mindset about your English practice.

對于有些人而言，錢是最大的動力，對吧？從你的口袋里面掏出點錢來，這些錢是你辛苦工作賺的，這樣做幾乎馬上就可以改變你對英語訓練的思維定勢。

It certainly changed my mindset when I paid for my Spanish classes with Lingoda. I had to go because I had paid for them so I did way more practice during that period because putting money on the table forces you to commit, right?

當我為我Lingoda上面的西班牙語課程付款的時候，那完全改變了我的思維。我必須得去上課，因為我付錢了，所以我在那段時間進行了更多的練習，因為資金上的投入會強迫你認真對待，對吧？

It makes you show up. If you financially commit to your English, you will probably go much further and you will get to fluency faster.

這會督促你去上課。如果你在英語方面投入了資金的話，你可能走得會更遠，也會更快變得流利起來。

Now let's talk about this a little more because I know what some of you are thinking. Yes, there are things that you can't afford but there are options that you can afford.

讓我們多談論一點吧，因為我知道你們其中的某些人在想什么。是的，有一些是你們沒有辦法負擔的，但是也有一些選項是你可以負擔的。

You can hire a local non-native English teacher, you can invest in an online English program that you can take yourself through at your own time, at your own pace. This is a much cheaper option than paying for a teacher's time.

你可以聘請一個當地的非母語英文老師，你可以投資線上英語課程，在自己空閑的時間按照自己的步伐上課。這個和聘請一個老師相比可便宜多了。

You can financially commit a little or a lot and what might be a little to some, might be a lot to others. But if you do that, if you invest in yourself, it will help you to get to your goals faster.

你可以在資金方面投入一點或者是很多，對于某些人來說可能很少，但是對某些人來說已經很多了。但是如果你這么做的話，如果你為自己投資的話，這將幫助你更快地實現自己的目標。

Now if you don't have the money now, make a plan and save for it. Sacrifice something else in your life to get ahead in your English.

如果你現在沒有錢的話，那就制定計劃存錢吧。犧牲生活中其他的一些事情為了英語進步而讓步。

How badly do you want to become fluent? And I know the other thing that you're thinking too.

你有多么想說一口流利的英語？我知道你們在想的另外一件事情。

Yes, you're right. It's possible for you to learn on your own but you will have more success and you will make more progress if you have the support and guidance of a good English teacher or a language program.

是的，你們是對的。自學當然是可能的，但是如果有很好的英語老師或者是語言項目的幫助和指導的話，你們會獲得更多成功，獲得更多進步。

Now if you really, really, really can't invest any money in your English training this year, then you'll need to compensate by investing more time and more focus in your studies.

You'll need to create a learning plan and you'll need to keep yourself motivated all the way throughout the whole year, you need to be active.

如果你們在今年真的真的真的沒有錢投資英語訓練的話，那么你們就需要通過投入更多的時間和專注到學習之中作為補償。你們需要制定學習計劃，你們需要一直讓自己全年都動力滿滿，你們需要非常活躍。

And this is a much bigger challenge than finding some money to invest in your training. That's my take on the situation.

這和找到錢投資英文訓練相比是更大的挑戰呢。這是我關于這個情況的看法。

If you want serious change and serious results in the year ahead, decide what serious action you're going to do now and get ready for it. The third thing you should do is create a learning plan.

如果你們想要在接下來的一年有很大的改變，取得豐碩的成果的話，那就確定一下你們現在需要采取什么重要的行為，然后準備好吧。你們要做的第三件事情是制定學習計劃。

Even if you're going to regular classes or you're meeting your tutor often, you still need to create your own learning plan to help you practise outside of your lessons. You might think this sounds boring but it doesn't have to be.

即使你們要參加規律性的課程，或者是你們經常可以見到自己的導師，你們還是需要制定自己的學習計劃，幫助你們在課堂之外進行練習。你們可能覺得這聽起來很無聊，但是并不一定是這樣哦。

Your formal classes are just part of your learning plan and you need to make sure that you're developing all four language skills, right? You need to spend a little bit of time on each of those skills each week.

你們的正式課程知識學習計劃的其中一部分，你們需要確保在發展全部的四個語言技能，對吧？你們每周需要花一點點時間在每個技能上面。

Like you need to read to broaden your vocabulary. Learn and experience how new words are used in context.

必須說你需要閱讀來擴充詞匯量。學習并體會新的單詞是如何在語境中進行使用的。

Become familiar with the different use of phrasal verbs, learn common collocations and informal language by reading. You need to write.

通過閱讀，熟悉動詞短語的不同使用方式，學習常見的固定搭配和非正式語言。你們需要寫作。

You need to practise expressing your thoughts and your ideas in a controlled way.

If you create a habit around writing in English, it will start revealing where there are gaps in your knowledge and that will allow you to build your vocabulary further.

你們需要以一種有控制的方式練習表達自己的觀點和想法。如果你們養成用英語寫作的習慣，這樣會揭示你們的知識空缺在哪里，這將幫助你們進一步擴充詞匯量。

And here's the thing about writing, when you write your own experiences and your own opinions and ideas, it increases retention. It helps you to remember new words and expressions because you're associating them with your own ideas and experiences.

寫作是這樣的，當你寫作自己的經歷、觀點和想法的時候，這會增強記憶力。這會幫助你們記憶新的詞匯和表達，因為你在將它們和你自己的想法和經歷相聯系。

Starting and then committing to a daily journal practice is going to do amazing things for your language skills. You need to listen to different accents, you need to study the way that native speakers link words together and they reduce sounds.

開始并持續地進行日記練習會為你們語言技能的提升帶來令人驚嘆的效果。你們需要聽不同的口音，你們需要學習母語者連讀單詞和略讀的方式。

Watch movies, listen to podcasts and audiobooks, all of those things. I've left some recommendations in the description below if you're interested.

看電影，聽播客和電子書等等方式。如果你們感興趣的話，我在下方評論區留下了一些推薦。

But try to give yourself some of the real listening practice as well, you know, in real conversations. And of course, you need to speak as much as you can to yourself, you can read aloud to your classmates, your teacher, your online friends, your colleagues, but make sure you're constantly pushing your comfort zone further.

但是也要給自己一些真正的聽力訓練，也就是在真正的對話當中。當然了，你們需要一直對自己說話，你們可以大聲地對著班里同學、老師、網友、同事進行朗讀，但是一定要一直讓自己跳出舒適區。

Chatting on Whatsapp doesn't count here okay? You need to create the space and the opportunity to practise your speaking skills in real conversations.

在Whatsapp聊天并不算數，好嗎？你們需要創造空間和機會在真正的對話中練習口語技能。

A community like The Ladies' Project is the perfect place to get regular informal speaking practice. There are group conversations almost every day and unlimited one-to-one chats that you can have with other members.

像The Ladies' Project這種社區是進行規律性的非正式語言練習的完美之地。每天都會有小組對話，和其他的成員會有很多一對一的交流。

Lastly, you got to do it every day. You've got to do something every day to practise.

最后呢，你們需要每天都去做。你們需要每天都做一點事情練習。

And this is not really something that you can question okay? It's just something that you need to do if you want to create change in your English and create it quickly.

這是毋庸置疑的，對吧？如果你們想要在英語方面創造改變，并且是盡快創造的話，那就需要這么做。

Doing fifteen minutes of practice every day is much better than doing four hours of solid English practice on a Sunday afternoon. Doing it daily allows you to build a great habit and it brings English into your life every day.

每天練習十五分鐘比在周日下午進行四小時生硬的英語訓練可好多了。每天都練習會讓你形成習慣，讓英語真正融入了你每天的生活。

Now this doesn't mean that you need to sit down and study every day right because there's always going to be days where you just can't be bothered and you don't feel like it.

What it means is you need to expose yourself to an English activity every day, listen to something in English, read something in English, watch something in English, write or speak or sing in English. Anything, right?

這并不意味著你需要每天都坐下來學習，因為總會有一些日子你感到不堪其擾，并不想學了。這意味著你需要每天都進行英語相關的活動，聽聽英語啊，讀讀英語啊，看看英語相關的東西啊，說說英語啊，唱唱英文歌啊，什么都可以，好嗎？

To become fluent within a year, you need to do something daily. Now it could be simple and mundane like writing an email or writing in your daily journal but on Sundays it could be completely wild.

想要在一年中說一口流利的英語，你需要每天都這么做。可以是非常簡單非常無聊的，比如說寫寫郵件啊，或者是寫寫每天的日記啊，但是在周末啊就可以隨便了。

It could be exhausting, it could be like attending an international conference where you listened and network to people in English all day. But your daily practice does need to be balanced.

也可能會非常令人筋疲力竭，比如說參加國際會議，全天聽別人用英文交流，用英文和別人社交。但是你們日常的練習需要平衡化。

If you're going to make it through a whole year, it needs to be balanced. Burying yourself inside a grammar book for fifteen minutes every day for a year is not going to make you fluent.

如果你們要全年堅持下來的話，就需要平衡化。一年中每天十五分鐘埋頭苦讀語法書并不能讓你說一口流利的英語。

It's going to make you awesome at grammar. Your learning plan really should be a combination of fun and passive English experiences with active and deliberate practice.

這會讓你在語法方面精進很多。你們的學習計劃應該是有意思的和被動的英語學習以及主動的刻意的練習的有機結合。

So a good example of active practice is writing. Okay you sit down and you spend some time creating sentences and expressing your own ideas.

主動練習的一個好例子就是寫作。坐下來投入時間創造句子，表達自己的觀點。

And maybe the following day you review your work. You use a thesaurus to upgrade some of the words that you used or maybe check some of the grammar in a little bit more detail.

可能第二天來回顧一下自己所寫的內容。用同義詞來升級一下你們使用的其中的一些單詞，或者是更加仔細的檢查一下其中的一些語法。

Now this is not as fun or as easy as watching an English movie right? But you need to do this type of practice too so you can reward yourself the next day by watching the movie, right?

這并沒有看英語電影那么有趣那么簡單對吧？但是你們需要這種類型的練習，這樣才能在第二天獎勵自己看一部電影，好嗎？

This is the balance that I'm talking about. You do some grammar practice and some writing practice and then reward yourself with a podcast or a movie.

這就是我所說的平衡。進行一些語法練習，然后做點寫作練習，再獎勵自己聽聽播客或者是看看電影。

So now it's up to you. What are you going to do to put your plan in action for 2020?

全都取決于你自己。你們在2020年要做什么將自己的計劃付諸實踐？

I want you to tell me about it in the comments below. I'd love you to set your intention for the year ahead because I truly, truly believe that you can do this.
