hi everybody welcome back to ask alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and i answer them

maybe okay let’s get to your first

question

first question this week comes from

it’s memart hello it’s me martz it’s

remark says when do we use the

preposition

to in a sentence in these examples why

do we use

two she is now engaged to her longtime

boyfriend

and i gave birth to two healthy boys

okay this is a big question and a big

answer there are lots of reasons that we

use

two in sentences let’s talk about a few

first we used to to describe movement so

for example i went to france or he went

to the office

we use two before the destination the

place that we are traveling

to so we use two to talk about movement

we also use two in time expressions

like she worked from nine to five it

means until in these cases

or she jogged from three to four so we

can use it to express

time in this way we also use to when

we’re using the infinitive form of a

verb in a sentence

so for a reminder the infinitive form of

a verb is the base form like the

dictionary form

the kind that you find in the dictionary

so that’s two plus the verb

there are many cases there are many

different grammar patterns many

different structures

in which we use the infinitive form so a

few examples of this

are we’re going to buy lunch and he

called to say hello

in other cases though the rules kind of

disappear a bit they fade away it’s not

so easy to apply a simple rule

this is because these uses of two like

the ones that you’ve shared in your

example sentences

are actually from idioms or they’re

parts of phrasal verbs

these rules don’t apply however when we

look at two

in phrasal verbs and in idioms so

you have to remember these kind of like

separate vocabulary words you have to

memorize them

the same way that you would vocabulary

words unfortunately there isn’t a

clear-cut rule

for when to use two in cases like these

so

for example in your first example

sentence she got engaged to

her long-time boyfriend the two in that

sense

is part of the get engaged to expression

that’s an idiom to get engaged to

someone that’s a set phrase in the

second example sentence

she gave birth to two healthy boys

two in that sentence is part of the

expression give birth to

so there are lots of set expressions

phrasal verbs and idioms

that use two and you just have to

memorize them

like vocabulary words they’re like kind

of independent expressions independent

phrases that you need to think about so

this is a quick

introduction to a few uses of two and

also just consider that sometimes

there’s not really a specific rule for

the reason why

two is used in an expression it’s just

the vocabulary word or it’s just the

idiom

so a good way perhaps to practice this

is

read i would suggest reading and over

time

naturally you’ll start to kind of get a

feel for the expressions that used to

and the expressions that used by or at

or in or on and so on

similar issues exist with other

prepositions for sure

so i would suggest reading as much as

possible to help you identify

the most natural choice of preposition

you can read novels you can read news

articles you can read social media posts

whatever

make sure you’re reading a lot and then

you’ll kind of

over time as i said get a feel for what

should be

the preposition used so i hope that this

helps you i hope this was a good

introduction to a few cases in which

it is kind of rule-based use of two but

also

just to give you a heads up give you

some information about these expressions

that used to

uh as kind of a set expression so thanks

very much for the question

all right let’s move on to your next

question next question

comes from vinai hi venai when i says

how do we talk about

simultaneous events in present

continuous tense

okay to talk about two or more events

happening right now so two or more

things that are happening

in the present moment you can try a

pattern like one of these

i’m listening to music and working at

the same time

are you cooking and cleaning right now

he’s watching me while operating the

camera

so a reminder these patterns are used

for two actions that are happening

right now at the same time if you want

to talk about actions that happen

regularly like habits you need to use

simple present tense we don’t use that

ing

form for regular actions we can only use

these patterns

for actions that are happening now so

please keep this in mind but i hope that

this helps you describe

simultaneous actions in the present

thanks very much for the question

okay let’s move on to your next question

next question

comes from nelly hi nelly nelly says hi

alicia

what is the meaning of educated guesses

thank you yeah sure great question an

educated guess

is a guess that we make after doing

research or after getting some

information about the topic

so we can compare this to just a guess

so a guess

is just something that we come up with

we have an idea about something we share

it we make a guess about something

an educated guess sounds like something

we actually thought about we tried to

find information

to make our guests more accurate so for

example

if i asked you who do you think will be

the next president of the united states

and you have no idea but you want to

guess you could say a famous person like

beyonce or something

so that’s probably not a good strategy

making a guest like that though

president beyonce does sound pretty

awesome

so making an educated guess on the other

hand

would require you to do some research

who are the candidates what is their

position

on various issues are they popular or

not

so after doing that kind of research and

then

sharing a guess like choosing one of the

candidates that would be an example

of making an educated guess so this is

the difference between

an educated guest and just a guess keep

in mind that

lots of people like to pretend to make

an educated guess when they’re really

just guessing so keep this in mind too

i hope that this helps you thanks for

the question okay let’s move on to your

next question

next question comes from lynn hi lin lin

says hi alicia

i know we use a when it is followed by a

consonant sound and use

an when it is followed by a vowel sound

but i heard we pronounce a as a or

a depending on the consonant or vowel

sound condition as well

i just put these rules together and i’m

confused now what’s the difference

for example he is an or a a

european person or this is a or

a one-way street thank you so much ah

sure okay

first let’s review the uh or a

and and rules we use the

indefinite article a or uh

before a word that begins

with a consonant sound we use

an before a word that begins with a

vowel

sound so a key difference here is

sound be careful this has nothing to do

with spelling

so for example an hour we use and there

because

our begins with a vowel sound it starts

with an h

yes in spelling but the sound is a vowel

sound

our so this is the rule for using a

or a and an to answer your question

however there actually isn’t a rule for

when native speakers use the

a or a pronunciation it’s completely up

to the speaker so don’t worry about what

you’ve studied you don’t have to change

anything there

so just keep in mind that native

speakers will use

a pronunciation for emphasis sometimes

so we do this when we want to emphasize

that like there’s a key

difference in some situation so here’s

an example

let’s imagine you are looking for your

phone

and i find one here and i say hey

i found this phone you might reply and

you might say

you found a phone you didn’t find

my phone so the reason that a native

speaker would choose to use the

a pronunciation there is to emphasize

that i just found this phone in

particular i found

a phone yes it belongs to the category

phone

but it’s not the speaker’s phone so the

speaker is making a contrast

they want to like clearly show the

difference between a

phone and my phone this desired thing

and this thing you found are

different so that’s the reason that they

would use this a

emphasis so that pronunciation as

emphasis in that situation

let’s try one more example imagine we’re

co-workers in this situation

and i’m looking for a file an important

file

and you offer to help me you find a file

that you think is correct

and you show it to me and i go uh yeah

you found

a file but it’s not the file

so in that case i’m contrasting i’m

showing a difference i’m emphasizing a

difference between

this file you found and the file that

i’m looking for

in this case i’m using the file to mean

the file that we both know about

this file that we both are looking for

right now i’m using the a pronunciation

to draw attention to kind of point out

that this thing and this thing are

different so when i say

a pronunciation might be used for

emphasis this is what i mean

so in sum you can use either a or a it

really doesn’t matter it’s up to you

but you might hear native speakers using

that a pronunciation

for the article when they’re trying to

emphasize a key difference between this

thing and

another thing so i hope that this helps

you thanks for the question

okay let’s move on to your next question

next question

comes from godson

ernst pierre luis hello godson ernst

uh godson art says i often hear two

different pronunciations of the word

neither and today i’d like to know which

one is right for me please

thank you aha the answer is both both

neither and neither are both totally

acceptable pronunciations

there’s actually a famous george

gershwin song if you’re familiar with

george gershwin he wrote rhapsody in

blue he had some musicals anyway

he and his brother ira did some like

cool musical stuff but there’s a very

famous example in their work

that references this issue so they have

neither and neither is good examples or

like potato and potato

both acceptable or tomato and tomato so

there are different pronunciations for a

few words and you might know some more

but they’re both fine they’re both

acceptable you can use neither or

neither i would say personally that

probably in today’s american english we

use

neither and for the other words that i

mentioned tomato and potato

those are the more common pronunciations

but you can still use the other

pronunciations if you like

so that would be my personal

recommendation but you can use

both they’re both fine so i hope that

this helps you thanks for the question

hi everybody my name is alicia in this

lesson i’m going to talk about

could have should have and would have

what they mean how to use them in the

negative and the differences between

them

so let’s get started first i want to

begin

with could have let’s look at the

positive and the negative

meanings of could have first positive

we use could have positive for something

that was

possible in the past so to give kind of

an image of this

if our conversation is happening now

when we use could have we’re talking

about something

that had possibility in the past

something we were able to do for example

an example sentence ah if i had known

you were throwing a surprise party i

could have helped i could have

helped so here could have shows us that

this action

helping was possible in the past

in this case the speaker did not know

some information

and as a result this action did not

happen

but it was possible at a point in the

past

the speaker could have helped helping

was a possibility in the past

so we use could have to express that

possibility

the negative form however expresses the

opposite

so in the negative could not

have expresses something that was

impossible impossible so not possible in

the past

so here if we want to give an image it’s

something that

was not possible something we were not

able to do let’s look at an example of

this

no that couldn’t have been

sarah in the cafe just now she’s

at the office so here i’m using

couldn’t have could not have contracted

reduced becomes

couldn’t so that couldn’t have been

sarah in the cafe just now in other

words

it’s impossible that just now we saw

sarah in the cafe

why she’s at the office so in this case

maybe sarah is the speaker’s colleague

co-worker

so we know sarah is at the office so we

saw someone maybe who

looks like sarah at the cafe just now

but

it’s not possible it was sarah because

sarah’s at the office

so we can say that couldn’t have been

so it’s impossible that that was sarah

so couldn’t have been sounds much more

natural than

it’s impossible that that was sarah so

we use couldn’t have been

or could not have been so positive form

something that was possible in the past

so be careful in maybe contrast a key

difference here

is this is only about possibility

we’re not talking about like a plan to

do something or regret necessarily

we’re only talking about possibility

when we use

could or could not here so

with this let’s move along to the next

part

the next part i want to focus on should

have

so let’s look at the positive form

should have in the positive

expresses regret for something we did

not do in the past so an image of this

here

if our conversation is happening now we

want to talk about

something we did not do

in the past and that now maybe we think

oh it’s a good idea like i

should have done this thing i did not

do this thing in the past that’s why i

marked it with an x here so i did not do

this thing

but i feel bad now i feel regret like i

should have done that thing in the past

so an example sentence of this i should

have studied more

when i was in school here is the should

have

i should have and this action studied

more so in other words the speaker

did not study enough in the past the

speaker feels he or she did not study

enough in the past

regrets that and wants to express

the change like i wish i had done

this thing i should have studied more

when i was in school so here we have

more this is a common pattern with

should have

or should not have when we use more it

means i should have studied more

than i did when i was in school

so here the speaker is regret expressing

regret

sadness about something they did not do

therefore when we use the negative form

the speaker again

expresses regret yes but they’re

expressing regret for something that

happened in the past something they did

in the past so i’ve marked it here with

a check

this action did happen and we feel

regret about that action we feel bad

about something we did

in the past an example i shouldn’t have

spent

so much time playing video games when i

was a kid

so here i’ve used shouldn’t have

so should not have is how we make the

negative form

i’ve reduced it shouldn’t have shouldn’t

have in rapid speech shouldn’t have

i shouldn’t have spent so much time

playing video games

so what’s the action here the speaker

played video games

when he or she was a child the speaker

now regrets

that the speaker says i shouldn’t have

spent so

much time i should have spent less time

playing video games

so i could use positive should have i

should have spent

less time playing video games when i was

a kid

here i shouldn’t have spent so much time

so

here a key point with should have is

that we’re expressing

regret remember with could have we’re

talking just about

possibility with should have we’re

expressing a regret for something that

did

or did not happen in the past so with

this in mind let’s go on to the last

point for this lesson

the last point uh the last point rather

is would have

would have so when we say would have we

often say

would’ve would have i mentioned it here

with should have we say

should’ve or shouldn’t have same thing

with could have like

could’ve or couldn’t have is the correct

pronunciation in fast

speech so when we talk about would have

or when we look at would have

and we look at the positive form

we use it to express a plan for

something that did not

happen so we’re talking about something

in the past

so from a point in the past something

in the future at that time we had a plan

for that thing or we thought something

was going to happen

but in the positive form it did not

happen

this is kind of tricky let’s look at an

example situation

here i would have arrived on

time today but there was terrible

traffic

so i did not arrive on time so first

here’s my

action i would have arrived on time

so i had a plan or i had a desire

i was thinking i was going to arrive

on time so at this point in time i would

have arrived on time today maybe we’re

thinking when i left the house maybe

this is where the action starts

my plan was to arrive on time so again

this is all happening

in the past my conversation is here i

was planning to arrive

on time but there was terrible traffic

terrible traffic means lots and lots of

cars it was difficult to drive or

difficult to get to work

so i did not arrive on time

i would have arrived on time but i

didn’t

because of terrible traffic so this

shows us this

would have shows us all of this

information

everything here happened in the past on

like a timeline

so i thought i was going to arrive on

time

something happened and i didn’t so we

can use would have

to show like our thinking in this point

would have in the past

about a future action that is also

in the past so a couple of past points

there at the same time

okay so let’s compare this then

to the negative form the negative form

then expresses the opposite

so we have a lack of plan or a lack of a

desire so

lack of something means no plan or no

desire

so lack of plan for something that

happened in the past

it did happen yes so

we commonly use both of these to talk

about

other people’s choices like when we’re

giving advice

this example sentence is a very common

way that we use

would not have or wouldn’t have let’s

look

if i were you i wouldn’t have quit my

job

before i found a new position

so here is my would not have i’ve

reduced it to

wouldn’t have i would not have quit my

job before i found a new

position so that means if i were you

this is how we’re beginning this this is

a very common way

that this would have or would not have

is used

so if i were you i’m not you but if i

were

at this point in time in the past my

decision

would not have been to quit my job

however your decision was to quit your

job this

did happen you quit your job in my case

i would not have done that so here

in opposite to the positive form i’m

talking about a point in the past like

if i were you just in general

and i’m talking about a future decision

i might make

in this case the person listening did

choose to quit his or her job i’m saying

i would not have quit my job that would

not have been my decision

for the future so again

there’s kind of this idea of two points

in the past like a kind of a general

i guess a starting point in the past if

i were you

in this case and some decision some plan

some like desire or lack of desire in

this case

in the negative form so we use these

like i said to talk about like other

people’s choices when we’re giving

advice like oh if i were you i would

have done this in the past so

we use would have to talk about uh past

decisions and maybe to talk about things

um like if you if you were the speaker

like things you might change what would

you do

differently so we use this to talk about

these sorts of

past past decisions and give advice

and talk about um how we might make

different decisions in the future

so this kind of expresses a desire

or lack of desire this one should have

expresses regret in the past could have

expresses possibility so this is just a

quick

introduction to the differences between

these three

expressions and their negative forms i

didn’t write them not here

so would not have uh but if you have any

other questions about this please let us

know in the comments

they are very similar i know they sound

very similar and it can be hard to

understand how to use them but try to

keep these three kind of

themes in mind possibility and

regret and then kind of desire or advice

here so i hope that this helps you

understand the differences between these

three

thanks very much for watching this

lesson and i will see you again soon

bye-bye hi everybody welcome back to top

words my name is alicia and today we’re

going to talk about

10 modal verb patterns let’s go

can could you

can could you okay so this first one

is can you or could you blah blah so a

lot of people

ask what’s the difference between can

you and could you which one should i use

if you’re making a request basically you

can use either one

if you want to sound a little bit more

polite i would recommend you use could

you

so if you’re talking to your friend or

your family member you can say like

can you help me with this or can you

help me make dinner or can you buy some

milk at the store

or can you please fix your hair it looks

weird if you want to be a little bit

more polite

like when you’re talking to someone at

work or talking to someone you don’t

know so well

you can use could you blah blah so could

you please send me that file or could

you please

tell me where the restroom is you can

use those for more polite situations

both of them are totally correct both of

them are fine to use in most everyday

situations so it’s up to you

to decide how polite you want to sound

okay example sentence

can you help me move this sofa

i may might i may

might okay may and might

this presents another very very common

question when you want to talk about

your own plans as in this example

sentence with i may

be or i might we

have the same feeling yes they both

express something we’re not

sure about an upcoming plan that we’re

not sure about

but in american english today might

tends to be

more commonly used in everyday

conversation

may tends to sound a little bit more

polite a little bit more formal

when we’re talking with our friends we

say i might go to the beach this weekend

or i might go to a party

to make it negative we say i might not

do that or i might not go to dinner

after all i feel kind of sick

so might tends to be used more in

everyday conversation

again just as with can and could may and

might are both completely correct

they’re both fine to use it’s just up to

you to choose how polite you want to

sound

okay examples i might take a day off

next week

what should i what should i

okay this one focuses on the word should

we use should to ask for advice and

to give advice generally so we tend to

use this word

in kind of close situations you’re

asking somebody for help maybe

you’re asking for someone’s opinion so

you can say what should i do

if you are having trouble in an everyday

life situation

or you can use this to make a more

complex sentence

like what should i get for dinner

tonight like to ask for someone’s

opinion

or maybe you can change as well the eye

to

something else to another person what

should he do or what should she do or

what should they do

you can change that i in the sentence to

ask about someone’s opinion

regarding a third person regarding

another party

so this is a very basic sentence yes

what should i

this pattern but you can change it with

these very very simple small things

to ask about others outside yourself

another example

what should i make for dinner i think

you should

i think you should okay so here again

we’re seeing

should used in this case we’re seeing i

think you should

so that means we are seeing an advice

pattern being presented here

this is something you can use to kind of

softly and maybe a little politely

express your opinion about something in

this case

i think you should is followed by a verb

i think you should verb i think you

should go i think you should quit

i think you should stop eating so much

junk food you’re giving some kind of

advice to the listener

you can make this less polite by

dropping i think

so you make the sentence you should you

should do this you should do that

that will make the sentence less polite

including i think at the beginning of it

makes it sound a little bit softer so it

sounds a bit nicer a little bit kinder

examples i think you should start

exercising

shall we shall we

okay shall we this is another very

common question

lots of people like to ask about the

difference between shall we and

will we they are very different you

cannot use them interchangeably

shall we is a polite way to suggest you

do something

maybe you’ve seen this in a romantic

movie like shall we dance

or shall we go for a drink something

like that

it sounds kind of polite a little bit

nice to say

shall we instead of do you want to they

have the same meaning though but shall

we sounds a little bit more formal

so shall we and will we are sometimes

confused by learners

will we is quite different will we is

asking a question

about a future plan like will we

have to pay for this later or will we be

in time for the movie

shall we is like suggesting you do

something with another person

will we is saying something like oh my

gosh

i’m not sure about this future plan that

we have together

is it true is it going to happen that’s

the difference between the two

oh another point about this shall we

tense we tend to use

shall we or shall i we don’t really use

shall he or shall she so often

we tend to use it for our own activities

that’s why you’ll see

shall we or shall i used more

uh this is also true for an expression

like shall you you don’t see that

shall is used together with some other

person

example shall we visit your parents for

christmas

if i i would

if i i would this is a very common

pattern

if i something i would a lot of people

like to use this an expression like if i

were you i would so they like to ask

should i use were

should i use was in a pattern like if i

were you or

if i was you the correct answer is if i

were you

i would we use was in a pattern like if

i was something something something to

talk about a possible past

situation when you want to talk about

something that is not true

now so an unreal situation now like

being you which is not true

not possible use were if i were you

it’s not possible so please use were in

that case

you can of course use this in other

situations if

i something i would for example if i

lost my job i would find a new one or if

i won the lottery

i would buy a house so you can use verbs

in this pattern

as well just keep in mind the verb form

that you use

if i won the lottery or if i

ate a big dinner we’re using simple past

tense in this verb form so please make

sure not to use like

simple present tense or don’t use an ing

verb form here if i

simple past tense i would blah blah for

example

if i had a bigger house i would have

dinner parties so

final point here remember when you use

this pattern to

express something that is not true not

real like in my example sentence

if i won the lottery i would buy a house

make sure you’re using the correct

verb form after would too if i

won the lottery past tense verb i would

buy

a house the verb in the main clause is

in the infinitive form so make sure that

your verbs match this is a good one to

study

grammar with okay onward you must

not you must not

okay here we see a rule must

is commonly used to express rules we

don’t use

must so much in everyday conversation

because it tends to sound quite strong

you will however see must used in

official rules like if you’re traveling

you’re going to like the airport

maybe you are seeing some rules on a

sign

somewhere or you’re seeing i don’t know

maybe you’re reading a contract

something official that’s where you tend

to see must used

we use must in everyday conversation for

super super strong

things like you must do this or you must

not do that maybe your doctor gives you

some advice for example

so in general you don’t see this in

everyday conversation so much

but you should know when it means that

you should take something seriously like

in an official rule like you must not

smoke in this area

or you must stop eating junk food or

you’re going to get

very very unhealthy or you must not

forget your mother’s birthday that’s

actually very true

that’s very strong situation you must

not forget your mother’s birthday

you must not disappoint your mother

exactly exactly so

these are all very very important and

strong things that we need to

communicate we do that with

must you can also of course change your

subject to he

or she or they as well so that you’re

not just talking to

you the listener or the reader but you

can use it to express something

another person must or must not do

example

passengers must show their passports to

immigration officers

this must not be this must not be

okay this use of must sometimes is a bit

challenging the key with this use of

must

is the use of must with b

so when we use must and b together

we’re talking about a possible condition

or a possible state

in this example we see it in the

negative this must not be

something something something so we use

this in a situation

like for example you’re looking for a

place you’re using the gps on your phone

and you come to this place and you think

this seems

correct but my the restaurant i’m

looking for

is not here we might say this must not

be the right place that means

this is probably not the right place or

this expression describes a very

high chance that something is not true

in the negative

when we use it in the positive for

example oh this must be the right place

i found the restaurant it means there’s

a high possibility

i am correct so this use of must

is when we use it with b to make the

negative must not be

to make the positive this must be so you

can use it to talk about places

you can also use it to talk about

conditions so for example like when you

look at answers on a test

you might think to yourself this must be

the correct answer

or this must be correct you can use both

a noun

and an adjective after this to express

that high or

low condition of something being true

example

this must not be the right place it’s

closed

that can’t be that can’t be

okay that can’t be this is the reduced

form of that

cannot be this means it’s impossible

so some condition or some state is

impossible

this is different from must not be

because must not be

expresses that there’s a very very low

chance that something is true

that can’t be expresses that something

is completely impossible there is zero

percent chance that something is true

so for example if i think i see my

co-worker at the coffee shop but i know

my co-worker is at the office

i might think to myself that can’t be

resa

she’s at the office today maybe she

looks just like my co-worker

but i know it’s not possible i expressed

that with

can’t be this is quite different from

that must not be

because must not be expresses there’s

still a little bit of a chance that that

is true

can’t be expresses that it is completely

impossible

interestingly we don’t really use this

in the positive form much we don’t say

this can be correct

we tend to say this could be correct we

don’t really use this this can be

pattern so if you want to express

something as impossible

completely impossible use this can’t be

also couldn’t be is acceptable here but

when you want to express that something

is just

possible use could be not can’t be

interesting point

okay example that can’t be the right

file

the data is totally different

we shouldn’t we shouldn’t

okay so here we’re using should again

this time in the negative

shouldn’t is the reduced form should not

becomes shouldn’t

in this case we’re using it with the

subject we meaning something you and i

together

should not do so again this is an advice

pattern

we should not do something of course you

can make this positive by simply

removing

not after should we should blah blah

blah so we shouldn’t

steal we shouldn’t disrespect our

mothers we shouldn’t forget our mother’s

birthdays right

this is the important point from today’s

lesson i think not

uh we shouldn’t so when you want to

express something that’s not a good idea

something that you don’t think you as a

group should do

you can express that with we shouldn’t

verb

in this case also please remember you

follow the verb with the infinitive form

we shouldn’t do something we shouldn’t

eat we shouldn’t talk we shouldn’t

forget

so don’t use like an ing form don’t use

the past tense form here

please follow should this use of should

the advice form

with the simple infinitive form example

we shouldn’t think too much about this

all right that is everything for this

episode that was

10 modal verb patterns that you can use

what did you think you could let us know

in the comments

alright that is everything for this

episode thanks very much for watching

and i will see you again

next time bye bye hi everybody welcome

back to know your verbs my name is

alicia and in this lesson we’re going to

talk about the verb

deliver let’s get started

let’s begin with the basic definition of

the verb deliver

the basic definition is to take

something from one person

and give it to another person some

examples

fedex delivered my package today he

delivers pizzas three nights a week

now let’s look at the conjugations for

this verb present

deliver delivers passed

delivered past participle delivered

progressive delivering

now let’s talk about some additional

meanings for this verb

the first additional meaning is to give

birth

or to help someone give birth

let’s start with some examples our

doctor has safely delivered

many babies the mother delivered twins

so this use of the verb deliver refers

specifically to childbirth sometimes the

verb is used to talk about someone like

a doctor

or a nurse or a midwife or other helper

aiding a mother in giving birth to

children

in that case we see sentences like the

first example sentence our doctor has

safely delivered

many babies that means the doctor has

assisted in the birth of many different

uh babies has assisted in

safely it’s probably a key word here but

safely delivered safely helped many

babies into the world

the second example sentence however is

focused on

the mother so the mother delivered twins

means the mother

gave birth to twins so deliver

refers to giving birth in that sentence

so depending on the subject of the

sentence it can mean either

helping someone give birth or actually

giving birth

when we’re talking about the mother

usually so

deliver can refer to both of these

things but they’re both related to

childbirth child care let’s go on to the

second additional meaning for this

lesson

the second additional meaning for

deliver is to speak

or to sing especially when directed at

somebody

let’s look at some examples martin

luther king jr delivered a moving speech

in washington dc

the judge is delivering the verdict

later today

so both of these example sentences show

kind of a

formal event the first example sentence

refers to a very famous

speech the second example sentence

refers to a formal situation like a

courtroom where a judge

is delivering as in the example sentence

a verdict a verdict means a choice a

legal choice or a legal decision

really um so in the first example

sentence

martin luther king jr delivered a speech

it means

spoke yes but there’s usually some kind

of like big

intention there’s a specific aim behind

the words

we could also use it to talk about

singing

like delivered an amazing performance

for example

if you’re talking about maybe opera just

to give an example

but there’s kind of some large aim some

purpose

some big like intention for the

performance uh

in the case of singing or for the words

in the case of speaking

so in the first example sentence we see

that it’s a speech it’s an important

speech

we’re talking about so martin luther

king jr delivered

an important speech we could say gave an

important speech

yes but using deliver kind of upgrades

the formality upgrades the seriousness

of the situation

the second example sentence about the

judge delivering a verdict

we see that choice of deliver there

because it’s a formal situation again

we could say the judge gave the verdict

or the judge

provided the verdict as well but deliver

is like

the judge is sort of passing the

information in a formal manner this is

kind of the nuance of the word choice

deliver here so you can see deliver used

to

talk about communication in formal and

kind of

important situations in this way let’s

go on to the next additional meaning for

this verb

the next additional meaning is to

produce results

as promised let’s start with some

examples

i’m not sure they’re going to deliver on

time

they delivered on their promises so this

use of the verb deliver means to provide

something that’s expected like there’s

some order or there’s some request

that has been made and that needs to be

fulfilled so someone needs to

keep their promise that’s the feeling of

this use of

deliver so in the first example sentence

we see

i’m not sure they’re going to deliver on

time

means i’m not sure they’re going to keep

their promise

on time like maybe the schedule has

changed some

problem has arisen we don’t know but i’m

not sure they’re going to deliver it

means i’m not sure they’re going to

complete the thing they said they would

complete

in the time frame we agreed upon so i’m

not sure they’re going to finish i’m not

sure they’re going to be able to do the

thing

they said they would do on time the

second example sentence is more positive

though they delivered

on their promises here past tense

delivered so they were

able to do the things that they promised

to

so there was a promise made in the past

there was some agreement reached in the

past

and the agreement or the promise was

fulfilled they delivered on their

promises they were able to do the things

they said they would do

let’s continue to the next additional

meaning for the verb deliver

the next additional meaning is to save

someone from

something let’s start with some examples

deliver us from evil

the rescue team delivered people from

danger a key point about this

meaning of the verb deliver is that it’s

rather

formal and perhaps even biblical

biblical means it relates to the bible

so if you have read

the bible or if you’re familiar with

some of the prayers

or some of the ways of speaking from the

bible you might be familiar with this

use

that we see in the first example

sentence deliver

us from evil so deliver us from evil

means

save us from evil save us from evil

things

so deliver in this way is not so

commonly used in everyday speech

if you attend church or if you attend

another kind of religious or

maybe religiously related organization

you might hear this use of deliver there

in your community

in general however in the news we don’t

use the verb deliver to talk about

saving

or maybe even rescuing people

in those cases like i said save and

rescue are more common

deliver tends to be used more like in

biblical

contexts the second example sentence

like the rescue team

delivered the people from danger that’s

kind of i’m kind of stretching the

meaning of that one a little bit that

might

not be such a typical example but it’s

sort of

um the kind of situation that you could

imagine deliver being used in

so if i were writing a report or if i

were making

the news for the day i probably would

not use

deliver in that way but um the meaning

is still communicated there so deliver

tends to be

used in like serious situations uh like

deliver us from evil evil is quite

serious

or to deliver someone from danger or

from a very stressful situation

so it tends to be something more serious

in nature but like i said deliver is not

used so commonly in this way in everyday

speech you might hear it more

in like specific religious organizations

let’s continue on to some variations for

the verb deliver

the first variation is to deliver a blow

to deliver a blow

this means to have a damaging effect on

something

some examples she delivered a blow to

the company when she announced her

decision

the team scored another goal delivering

a blow to their opponents

okay so to deliver a blow means like to

cause some damage or to cause some

harm but this doesn’t usually mean

physically it’s more like mental or

emotional

damage in the first example sentence she

delivered a blow to the company with her

decision

that means she made a decision and that

somehow

damaged her company so maybe she was

like the

ceo or a top management person at her

company she decides to quit

and she’s a very valuable worker so it’s

damaging to the company physically not

damaging

but the company loses something

important so

we can say she delivered a blow to the

company she caused damage or she had

like a damaging effect

on the company as a result of her

decision

so she delivered a blow we could say

in the second example sentence we see it

in a sports situation

so team a scored another goal so we see

another goal meaning there was a

previous goal or goals already

but the team scored another goal

and delivered a blow to their opponent

so team b

so that means team a their score

went up and team b’s maybe motivation

or morale was damaged so deliver

a blow again doesn’t mean physically

attacking

someone it means that there’s some kind

of damage usually like kind of a mental

or emotional damage

in this case perhaps motivation related

damage occurs

so to deliver a blow can mean to cause

damage to someone

or something like an organization or a

company let’s go on to the second

variation for this verb which is to

deliver

the goods to deliver the goods this is a

very informal and very casual

expression that means to give the things

that have been promised

examples i’m not sure they’re going to

be able to deliver the goods on time

you have to be prepared to deliver the

goods if you want to work here

so both of these refer to some kind of

service or some kind of

goods some kind of like there’s items of

some kind

being provided so you will hear this

perhaps in movies and in tv shows

this is a very very very casual

expression

um that sometimes has the nuance of

maybe activities that aren’t

legal uh so it could refer to like

like drugs or medication

that’s illegally obtained or to some

other

kind of substance or some other kind of

like stolen goods for example there’s

something

that you don’t want to say specifically

like what it is

so we say deliver the goods so the goods

can mean

any number of things deliver the goods

means like

give the things that are promised like

we talked about in one of the additional

meanings

but it’s like you have to promise to

provide the things you say you’re going

to provide

so it has a little bit of kind of a a

dark feeling about it i think

sometimes we may casually use this

expression among

friends now and then with various like

small situations like

deliver the goods like the party

supplies for example

um but in more serious situations it can

refer to maybe

not completely legal activities to

deliver the goods

okay so those are a few hopefully new

ways to use the verb deliver

if you have any questions or comments or

if you know a different way of using the

verb deliver

please feel free to let us know in the

comment section of this video

hi everybody welcome back to know your

verbs my name is alicia and in this

episode we’re going to talk about the

verb

post let’s get started

the basic definition of the verb post is

to publish or

announce something on a sign or

something similar to a sign

examples he posted an advertisement on

the community bulletin board

let’s post signs around town

now let’s look at the conjugations for

this verb present

post posts passed

posted past participle posted

progressive posting

now let’s talk about some additional

meanings for this verb

the first additional meaning is to share

something on

social media examples i saw that photo

you posted on instagram yesterday

did you see that message she posted on

facebook so when we upload information

like photos or

messages tweets whatever we can use the

verb

post to talk about that for twitter i

suppose we can use

tweet as a verb too you can say i posted

on twitter or i tweeted

as well um but post is the kind of the

general verb we can use for

all social media when we share anything

on social media we can say

i posted something on facebook or on

instagram or on twitter or on snapchat

or on

what else is there youtube posted on

youtube i uploaded it to youtube i

supposed to

but post is the general verb used for

social media sharing

so i think actually that this use of

post

comes from the original like definition

which is like to put something in a

community sign

or like to put something in a community

place where many people can see it

because that’s the purpose of social

media is to share something so many

people will see it

so i think that use of post comes from

that basic definition of the verb

post like sharing something in a

community space because we want other

people to see it and respond

to it the second additional meaning is

to send something

by mail this is more commonly used in

british english actually

in american english we tend to use the

verb mail more often but in british

english you might hear

post used examples can you post me the

documents

i posted a few letters today so here

post

refers to mailing something like can you

post me the documents means can you send

me the documents

by mail like physically by male the

second sentence i posted some letters

refers to

mailing some letters sending some

letters via mail

so this is kind of more commonly used in

british english

post is more commonly used to mean male

in british english in american english

we tend to use the verb

male more commonly so depending on the

type of english you are studying or you

prefer to use

you might make a decision here with this

verb so post or

mail post british male american the

third additional meaning

is to send someone somewhere for work

examples he’s been posted outside the

white house

there’s security posted around the

building so you can see in these example

sentences it’s kind of

work relating to security or to military

to

guarding of some kind we don’t really

use it

for like a regular office job like i

wouldn’t say like i’ve been posted to my

company’s

like branch in beijing

it sounds a little bit weird we would

say maybe transfer or i’ve been

like i’ve been transferred or i’ve been

moved to my company’s office

when we’re talking about like a specific

place like a job where we need to stand

and wait somewhere and it tends to be

for like security military purposes that

kind of thing we can use the

verb post to talk about that it might

sound a little out of place if you use

post for a different job so these are a

couple examples

of ways that you can use post to refer

to being sent somewhere to do this kind

of work

now let’s move on to some variations for

this verb the first variation is to keep

someone posted to keep someone posted

this means to provide

regular updates to someone examples

keep me posted about your project i’ll

try to keep you posted about my schedule

so to keep someone posted means to give

them regular updates like you can think

back to the original definition of the

verb like post like sharing information

in a community way

to keep someone posted is sort of like

to continue to share information so as

you’re working on a project or as you’re

making progress with something

you share your updates you share your

information you keep

someone posted so we see that in these

sentences

so in the first one keep me posted about

your project it means please send me

updates about your project i want to

know

the second example sentence i’ll try to

keep you posted about my schedule

means i will try to keep you updated i

will try to send you regular updates

about my schedule

let’s go on to another variation for

this verb the second variation

is to post bail to post bail this means

to offer money in exchange for freedom

from prison examples he posted bail and

got out of jail

immediately many people aren’t able to

post bail

even for minor crimes this is a very

specific variation

in the u.s criminal system there’s this

thing called bail

so if someone is convicted if someone is

arrested and has to go to prison because

of a crime they committed

there’s this thing called bail if the

person

can pay this amount of money they can be

released from prison they don’t have to

stay in prison

we refer to paying that money so that

the name of that money is bail but we

use the verb

post here so we say post bail to post

bail means to pay the required amount of

money

to get out of jail so this is a specific

phrase that we use

only for this type of money to post bail

we don’t use this

in another like financial transaction at

all

to post bail refers only to paying this

amount of money to get out of jail so

this is a very specific one

i don’t know if you have bail in your

country but this is something that uh

exists

in the u.s so those are a few new ways i

hope that you can use the verb

post of course if you have questions or

comments or want to practice making

sentences

okay today’s topic is how to adjust your

routine and learn language from home

many of us are spending more and more

time at home

so how do you make the best of this time

and learn your target language

learning at home can be tough with all

the distractions and in this episode

you’re going to discover the pros and

cons of learning at home

and how to successfully learn from home

without getting distracted

[Music]

how to adjust your routine and learn

language from home

recently many people have started to

work and take classes from home

with language learning since it’s

something people do in their own time

a lot of it is done at home anyway but

that doesn’t mean that all of this

hasn’t affected how people learn

if you used a language learning app or

listen to lessons during your commute

but you don’t commute anymore the

pandemic has probably ruined your flow

with many of us spending more time at

home being able to learn from home

efficiently is a good skill to have

because while learning or working from

home sounds good

it’s not exactly easy to do part one

the pros and cons of learning at home

first the pros

there’s convenience you can learn

whatever you want

you also have more time in the day since

you’re not commuting or walking from the

train station into work

it’s also easier to practice speaking

many people might find it hard to

practice on the train or at a lunch

break or in the office during work

it might sound a little strange but at

home you can dedicate

more time to practicing speaking what’s

your favorite pro of learning at home

leave us a comment now what about the

cons

distractions there are a lot more

distractions at home

there’s the tv there’s the couch and the

food and family members coming in and

out

next there’s no physical or mental

separation between rest and work which

is crucial for focus

it’s the same reason why people prefer

going to the gym instead of working out

from the comfort of their own home

if you’re in a place where there’s only

one goal like working out

and you’re surrounded by people working

out you’ll have no problem doing it

but if you’re in a place you associate

with rest eating and watching tv

you might have trouble focusing but if

you’re spending more time at home

then you should at least make the best

of it and learn your language at home

part two how to successfully learn from

home

without getting distracted so here’s how

you do it

first pick a dedicated place for

learning and preferably not your bed

just like an office is associated with

working time and your bedroom is

associated

with rest you need a place associated

with language learning

it could be your desk in the corner of

the room it could be your basement

as long as it’s far from distractions

and places of rest

second pick a time that way for example

when it’s 9 pm you know it’s time to put

in 10 minutes of language learning

three time box your study sessions

what’s time boxing

time boxing is simply setting a fixed

amount of time for an activity

for example you’re going to dedicate the

next 10 minutes to language and nothing

else

if you usually have trouble

concentrating time boxing is a good way

to set boundaries and get things done

four start small just like with setting

small

measurable goals and realistic routines

don’t set aside two hours for study time

instead try to time box 5 10 or 15

minutes and stick with that for a week

or two

you can always increase your time later

once you get more comfortable with your

routine

five do multiple sessions in one day

instead of trying to master a lesson in

the lesson dialogue in one

shot space out your learning throughout

the day

in the morning afternoon and at night so

take an

audio or video lesson and read along

with the lesson notes in the morning

you’ll get acquainted with the

conversation all the words and grammar

rules

don’t rush to memorize it all you’ll

come back to it later in the day

and do this for around 5 to 15 minutes

during the day practice shadowing the

dialogue

practice recalling the words do this for

around 10 minutes

you can also write out the lesson

dialogue practice using the grammar

rules or drill the words with flashcards

and at night come back and review for

about 10 minutes

you can re-listen to the lesson or just

the dialogue track

by doing multiple sessions in one day

you’ll be a lot more comfortable with

the language

simply because you spaced out your

learning and came back to review

and while it may feel repetitive it’s

the repetition that helps you master the

language over the long term

6. use at-home time to practice speaking

more

it would be hard to practice if you were

commuting or out on a walk

but if you’re at home you can easily

speak out loud without drawing attention

or feeling embarrassed

so to recap one pick a specific place

for learning

that’s far from distractions like your

bed two

pick a specific time for studying three

time box your study sessions four start

small

five do multiple sessions in one day and

six

use at home time to practice speaking

more

you next time bye

there are a lot of people working to

learn another language

but there are also a lot of people who

grew up speaking two or more languages

without even thinking about it

if you’re able to speak two languages

you’re bilingual if you can speak more

you’re multilingual

in many countries being bilingual or

multilingual is normal or even expected

but in some countries people grow up

speaking and learning one language

if you speak one language you’re

monolingual so

what can monolinguals learn from

bilinguals or multilinguals

this video will look at what it’s like

to be comfortable in two or more

languages

here are six pieces of information

relating to bilingualism and

multilingualism that you can use in your

language learning

first bilingualism and the brain

how does being bilingual or multilingual

affect the brain

do you dream in both languages do you

see subtitles in your head for the other

language as somebody’s talking

the answers to questions like these are

different for everyone

some people may dream mostly in the

language they’re most comfortable with

and occasionally in another language

some people may be able to effortlessly

move between the languages they know

while others may get stuck from time to

time these are all

normal parts of knowing more than one

language people who were exposed to

another language since birth

may have certain advantages in language

acquisition over monolinguals

they may already be familiar with

certain sounds and sound combinations

that monolinguals are not familiar with

as a language learner you’re probably

quite familiar with this

if you’ve already mastered a language

and have decided to start learning a new

one

you’re probably going to unconsciously

make connections to words in different

languages

you’ll think to yourself this word has

the same vowel sound as another word i

know

so it should sound pretty similar when

it comes to studying things like new

vocabulary words and grammar however

monolinguals bilinguals and

multilinguals all need to spend time

learning

and memorizing so in your own learning

don’t be discouraged by people who speak

your native language and your target

language

they may have had a totally different

learning experience than you

consider your language studies not

language abilities

second language mistakes and confusion

you may be wondering if bilinguals ever

confuse languages in their heads

people who are fluent in multiple

languages can separate the languages

mentally

however there are situations where

people momentarily forget words

even in our native languages or we think

of a word in one language but not in

another

in some cases we might even want to use

a word that exists in one language but

not in the other

an interesting concept from academic

literature on this topic

is perfect bilingualism it’s the idea

that someone can speak two languages

perfectly at an equally high level many

people assume that someone who grew up

speaking two languages would be able to

use both of them perfectly

and sound flawless but this is generally

not true

bilingual people are often more

comfortable talking about certain topics

in specific languages

there are also situations where

bilingual people may pronounce words

with a slightly different accent than

monolingual people

interestingly enough there’s also a

similar pattern among bilingual couples

bilingual couples usually have a single

dominant language

even if they can speak another language

with fluency and ease

people will usually use the language

that’s most efficient and comfortable

third bilingual societies you imagine a

place where you talk to your family in

one language

your neighbors and another your boss in

a third and write letters and a fourth

this might sound like a dream for many

language enthusiasts but in some

societies it’s normal

this type of multilingual society occurs

on border regions all throughout the

world

in northern iraq for instance people

usually speak kurdish

turkish and iraqi arabic and many of

them use

modern standard arabic and english at

school in some parts of china

people might learn english at school

speak their city’s dialect of mandarin

when out shopping

speak standard mandarin at work and

perhaps even speak another language when

at home with their families

some of these people might even say

they’re bad at languages

when people say this it’s often because

they grew up using these languages

not learning them in school when they

were using a language at a friend’s

house and got their pronunciation

corrected there was no anxiety involved

this kind of learning is different than

learning in a school setting where tests

and classrooms can cause

pressure and discomfort media exposure

plays a huge role too

many people around the world are

functionally bilingual in english thanks

to tv and youtube

sometimes parents even in societies

where people speak several languages

will put on educational english videos

for kids to watch

but what’s even more fun is something

that’s enjoyable for the kids that’s

already in english

you can do this too as an adult language

learner there’s a time and a place for

coursework

but if you’re able to shut off the

learning part of your brain and simply

absorb content you’re interested in

you’ll be surprised at what you can pick

up after a couple of months

fourth heritage languages

you might know someone from an immigrant

family who speaks a different language

at home than they do with everybody else

that language is referred to

academically as a heritage language

basically a language that someone

learned at home without using it very

much anywhere else

you can imagine that such an arrangement

would produce huge variation in language

ability

some people have heritage languages that

they learn from visiting their

grandparents once a week

others learn through rigorous

homeschooling routines enforced by their

parents

heritage learners often have some marked

differences in their speech

compared to speakers who grew up in a

monolingual environment

they might have an accent that’s

affected by the dominant language they

grew up with

or they might feel uncomfortable using

some grammar or vocabulary

that they’re not as familiar with but on

the other hand they might be able to

smoothly use things like tone

grammatical gender and other aspects of

language that are extremely difficult

for learners to master

their listening comprehension is also

likely good

another big difference is in reading and

writing you probably don’t remember

but reading and writing took time to

learn it may be difficult to motivate

yourself or a child

to learn to read or write in a new

language especially if that language has

a different and complicated script

we may be tempted to rely on the reading

and writing skills we already have

instead of learning something new if you

have a heritage

language and you’re working on

reactivating it be kind to yourself

maybe you feel like you should know how

to read or write in your heritage

language but you don’t

and that’s okay you can work on building

those skills as any other language

learner would a great way to build

literacy is to read text with audio that

you can listen to at the same time

you can use the lesson notes from our

language learning program or watch

videos with subtitles

this is easy to do from the comfort of

your home

fifth gaining fluency in a second

language

there’s a lot of divided discussion

about whether it’s possible to learn a

language to a native level

it’s important to consider what native

level means

maybe a native speaker of your target

language can talk about their work

flawlessly

but they can’t speak in depth about a

topic beyond their field

you don’t expect yourself to be able to

talk about absolutely

everything with 100 perfection in your

native language

so don’t expect that you’ll magically be

able to communicate perfectly in the

language you’re learning either

moreover it’s important to remember that

nobody speaks flawlessly all the time

we all make mistakes and we know how to

correct ourselves and clarify

information

the best speakers in the world make

mistakes even on stage

everybody stumbled over their words

before does that mean they’re not fluent

in their own language

of course not you can do some amazing

things to get a native-like accent in a

foreign language

but they all take a great deal of work

lots of people convince others that

they’re native speakers for the first

few minutes of conversation

does it really matter if you end up

making mistakes after 40 seconds

40 minutes remember the perfect speech

is not required to speak like a native

as we’ve talked about in this video lots

of bilingual and multilingual people

have strengths and weaknesses too

six can a bilingual person forget a

language

language skills can deteriorate over

time if they’re not used

if you’re very busy with one language

and rarely use the other

you might see a drop in your abilities

in a language you don’t use as often

completely forgetting a language takes a

very long time though

while you might forget a word here and

there in one language you likely won’t

lose a language completely unless you

don’t use it for decades

this is something to think about for

anyone who is considering spending their

life in another country

make sure to keep your language skills

up otherwise as time goes on

things may be harder and harder to

remember being bilingual or multilingual

is pretty interesting

a lot of language learners compare

themselves to bilinguals or

multilinguals

remember that bilingual and multilingual

people put in work too

when they were kids so don’t feel

discouraged if it seems like your own

learning is slow

it simply takes time and that’s true for

everyone

who’s trying to learn a new language

and subscribe to our channel we release

new videos every week

i’ll see you next time bye if a native

speaker of your target language spoke to

you

how much of their speech do you think

you could understand your answer of

course depends a lot on your vocabulary

skills

in this video we’re going to cover five

tips for memorizing vocabulary quickly

when you learn new vocabulary words you

increase your skills in reading

writing listening and speaking as you

learn a language you gain the ability to

recognize vocabulary words and learn

when to use them

it’s important to have a vocabulary that

covers a range of topics so that you can

understand important announcements

safety information conversations between

friends and posts on social media

in this video we’re going to talk about

why vocabulary is important

some features and the tools we offer

that help you focus on memorizing

and some tips for memorizing words

faster throughout this video remember

that consistency is a key component to

memorization

if you haven’t done this already

consider adding a number of vocabulary

words you’d like to master to your

monthly language goals

okay let’s get to our tips first

master our core word lists we offer 11

core word lists

these lists are made up of the most

common words in your target language

the 100 core word list is the best list

for absolute beginners

after you master that list you can move

on to the other lists in the series

the 2000 core word list is a combination

of all of the lists plus an additional

1000 words

having knowledge of about 2 000

vocabulary words in your target language

will set you up for success

knowing a variety of words in your

target language is important

because it allows you to speak about and

understand many different topics

while grammar is certainly important

having the vocabulary you need to go

about daily life

study or make plans is essential so

how do you use the core word lists with

our flashcard feature

our flashcard tool can display the

vocabulary word

show a picture and translation and play

an audio recording of the vocabulary

you’ll work on improving your

recognition production and listening

comprehension skills

using a tool like this helps you

associate new words with images

you also get to hear pronunciation and

pitch accents from native speakers

you have the ability to choose how many

new cards you’d like to learn daily

by the way using the 2000 core word list

isn’t the only way to review

all key vocabulary words you can also

merge your preferred lists

if you lack confidence in speaking

studying vocabulary can help you

if you master the most common words in

your target language speaking will

become a bit easier

among our core word lists are popular

topics relating to hobbies

nature food and recreation if you need

some help making sentences with your new

vocabulary

you can take a look at the core word

list example sentences for ideas

these are all steps you can take to

improve your speaking confidence

second create your own sentences

creating your own sentences is a great

way to work on memorizing new vocabulary

you can create sentences related to your

daily life so that you can easily

remember the sentences

and use them you can also try creating

sentences you think you’re likely to

need before a conversation with a native

speaker

in addition to our core word lists we

also have a dictionary feature

if you need help finding a certain

vocabulary word you can search for it in

our dictionary

the dictionary includes audio from

native speakers so you can hear how the

word is pronounced naturally and at a

slower speed

with a premium membership you’ll have

access to your own personal word bank

you’ll be able to add words from the

dictionary and our lessons to this word

bank and study them using flashcards

another thing that can help you with

memorization is reading along with

lesson dialogues and listening to the

host’s explanations

when you find a sentence that stands out

or when you make a sentence you think

will be useful

make sure to actually use the sentence

your memory will go stronger and

stronger

as you review sentences and practice

saying them from memory

third read every day how often do you

read in your target language

reading is a fun activity that can

motivate you to spend some time studying

new vocabulary

when you read you encounter words you’ve

seen in lessons but you also find new

words

apart from reading for fun our language

learning program offers reading

comprehension pathways for all levels

these pathways feature video lessons

with vocabulary you’re likely to see in

real life

for example an advanced pathway might

include lessons for understanding

promotional information

medical instructions and directions

these pathways are designed to test your

ability to recognize words

another way to memorize words fast is by

learning songs in your target language

if you’re studying a language with

sounds that are very different from your

first language

this can be a really helpful tactic you

can make a monthly goal to memorize one

to three songs you like in your target

language

you can find the lyrics to the song with

a search online and you can search for a

translation as well

as you listen to the song read the

lyrics this can help you connect the

sounds you’re hearing with the

characters or the letters you’re reading

and remember the songs can be from

anywhere it could be a kids song

a new pop song or a tv show theme you

can choose

the key is to find a fun way to read

every day this will help you improve

your vocabulary

fourth test your listening skills

test your listening skills with our

listening comprehension pathways

each of the pathways presents a

conversation asks a question

and then gives a breakdown in our audio

lessons

the hosts break down the dialogue by

talking about the usage of key

vocabulary and phrases

they also explain the grammar after you

listen to the breakdown the dialogue is

easier to understand

make sure to re-listen to the lesson

dialogues to review these important

concepts

another way to use our site for

listening comprehension is by changing

the flashcard settings

with our flashcards you have the option

to focus on building listening

comprehension

if you choose this setting the front of

your flashcard will play an audio clip

and the back will show the answer

additionally if you’re a premium plus

member you can practice listening with

your native speaker teacher

you can request audio responses from

your teacher instead of text

if you understand their message you can

respond with an audio file of your own

or with text if you don’t fully

understand you can ask your teacher for

help

one more thing you can do is use tv

shows to practice listening

you can choose a segment of a show to

practice watch it once with subtitles

then once without subtitles

determine how much you can comprehend

then look up the words you don’t know

fifth take vocabulary quizzes

there are many ways to test yourself

with vocabulary quizzes

each of our lessons includes a

vocabulary slideshow and quizzes that

you can use for review

we also have video vocab pathways which

introduce new vocabulary based on

certain themes

and they include pictures you can also

try making your own written tests with

our flashcard feature

change the flashcard settings according

to your preferences

you can choose between recognition

production and listening comprehension

card types

based on the card type you chose write

down either the vocabulary word or its

translation when the card appears

check your answers and give yourself a

score for your study session

writing vocabulary by hand is another

great way to work on memorizing words

earlier we talked about learning

vocabulary with songs

a fun and effective way to test your

vocabulary and writing skills is to fill

in the blanks

copy and paste the lyrics of a song into

a document and replace some of the words

with blanks

test your knowledge of the lyrics by

filling in the blanks with the correct

words

you can make it a little easier by

including a word box a list of

vocabulary to use somewhere in the song

you can also do this with dialogues you

want to practice from tv shows

to make sure you get all of the tools

mentioned in this video subscribe to our

premium plan

you’ll get access to all of our

resources including the core word lists

and the flash card tool

so to recap in this video we talked

about five tips for memorizing new words

see you next time bye

consistent hard work is one of the

biggest factors that determines

someone’s success

and it’s true for language learning too

while it’s important to choose a course

and study method that’s right for you

at the end of the day the results you

see are a product of the effort you put

in

however the quantity of time spent

studying a new language doesn’t

necessarily determine the quality of

your study

spending three hours a day watching

movies doesn’t help you learn much if

you’re not actively engaging with the

language

in this video we’ll talk about how to

actively engage your mind while studying

number one think of your brain as a

muscle

you might be familiar with the phrase

feel the burn or maybe

no pain no gain if you’ve been to your

local gym recently there’s a chance you

might have heard one of these phrases or

seen something similar on a poster on a

wall

in the world of sports and workouts

there’s a common idea that the

discomfort you feel when running

lifting weights or doing some other

physical activity

is what brings results the discomfort

you feel is your muscles being pushed to

their limit

it’s the limit pushing that strengthens

your muscles so that over time your

performance increases

in the context of language learning it’s

helpful to think of your brain

as a muscle being trained just as we

need to push against our physical limits

when exercising

we also need to push our mental ones

when learning a foreign language

have you ever studied or practiced your

target language in a way that left you

tired or even exhausted

if so you’ve experienced what it’s like

to push your brain out of its linguistic

comfort zone

number two practice active listening

one of the easiest ways to push your

language skills is to practice

active listening active listening is

when you listen to spoken language and

do your best to understand what you hear

the best way to accomplish this is by

using audio that you can’t completely

understand on the first listen

preferably you want to use audio that

has subtitles or transcripts in your

target language

for you to double check your

understanding after you listen to it

you can use movies youtube clips or our

lessons

during this exercise you might feel like

you’re able to pick out

only a few words here and there during

this practice session

you should listen to the audio several

times the first time around it’s okay if

no words or just a few words stick out

to you

simply make a mental note of any words

or sounds you recognize

the second time you listen you’re likely

to recognize a little more than you did

the previous time

expect similar results with your third

or even fourth time listening

when you reach a point where you can’t

understand any more words

go ahead and look at the subtitles or

transcripts listen to the audio again

and read along with the text odds are

that you’ll see words in the text you

know but didn’t hear correctly

you’re also likely to encounter words

that are new to you completely

as you play back the audio and read

along try to guess what these words mean

from the context of the words around

them

after you’ve read along a couple times

look up the unfamiliar words in a

dictionary or translator app

this active listening exercise routine

is a great way to

increase your listening and

comprehension skills while picking up

some new vocabulary along the way

it also allows you to learn new words in

context which itself is a powerful way

to help you retain what you study

number three practicing with native

speakers

practicing with native speakers is the

best way to push your language skills

using what you’ve studied to communicate

in real time is how you’ll really

challenge yourself

try to connect with a native speaker on

a weekly basis remember

consistency is important when you’re

learning a foreign language

if you live in a large metropolitan area

then there’s a chance that there are

some local native speakers nearby

try visiting a local language exchange

or meetup group to make the necessary

connections

if you’re unable to find a practice

partner locally then you can take your

search online

there are a number of sites that help

you find and connect with other language

learners from around the world

for example if you’re a native english

speaker learning a new language

you can find a native speaker of your

target language who is learning english

there are tons of language learners

around the world who have learned or are

learning a second language

you’re likely to find someone who knows

your target language and is looking to

improve his or her english learning a

new language isn’t always

easy but it’s the discomfort that comes

with pushing your ability in the

language that produces results in your

studies

don’t be afraid to step outside of your

comfort zone it’s okay to move far

outside of your native language

you’ll expand your mind and your skills

also remember that language learning is

in every way a lot like an adventure

there will be fun times and times when

it feels like you’re swimming upstream

it’s by keeping your head up through

these ups and downs that you will

experience the satisfaction that comes

with learning a foreign language

大家好，欢迎回来问

艾丽西亚每周系列，你问我

问题，我回答他们

也许可以，让我们来回答你的

第一个问题本周的第一个问题来自

它的 memart，你好，它是我 martz 它的

评论说我们什么时候使用

在这些例子中的句子中的介词

为什么我们使用

两个她现在与她长期的男朋友订婚了

，我生了两个健康的男孩

o 好吧，这是一个很大的问题和一个很大的

答案，我们在句子中使用两个的原因有很多让我们

先谈谈一些

我们用来描述运动

的例子，例如我去了法国或者他

去了

我们以前使用两个的办公室 目的地 我们要去的

地方，

所以我们用两个来谈论运动

我们也用两个时间表达，

比如她从九点到五点工作，这

意味着在这些情况下，

或者她从三点到四点慢跑，所以我们

可以用它来

当我们在句子中使用动词的不定式时，我们也习惯以这种方式表达时间，

因此提醒一下，动词

的不定式是基本形式，如

字典

形式，您在字典中找到的那种形式

那是两个加上动词

有很多情况 有很多

不同的语法模式 很多

不同的

结构 我们使用不定式所以

一些例子

是我们要去买午餐 他

打电话打招呼

在其他情况下虽然 r ules

有点消失 他们逐渐消失

应用一个简单的规则并不容易

这是因为这些使用两个就像

你在你的

例句

中分享的那些实际上来自成语或者

它们是短语动词的一部分

这些 规则并不适用，但是当我们

在短语动词和成语中查看两个时，因此

您必须记住这些类似

单独的词汇单词，您必须以与词汇单词

相同的方式记住它们，

不幸的是没有

明确的-

在这种情况下何时使用两个的规则

，例如，在你的第一个

例句中，她与她长期交往的男朋友订婚了，

从这个意义上说，这两个

是订婚表达的一部分，

这是一个成语与

某人订婚 第二个例句中的一个固定短语

她生了两个健康的男孩

这句话中的两个是

表达

的一部分 st 必须

像词汇单词一样记住它们，它们就像是

一种独立的表达，独立的

短语，你需要考虑，所以

这是

对两个的一些用法的快速介绍，

也只是考虑到有时

并没有真正的特定

规则 为什么

在一个表达式中使用两个它

只是词汇单词或者它只是

成语

所以一个很好的练习方法可能

是

阅读我建议阅读，随着

时间的推移，

你自然会开始

对表达有一种感觉 used to

and the expression that used by or at

or in or on

其他介词肯定存在类似问题，

所以我建议尽可能多阅读，

以帮助您

确定最自然的介词选择，

您可以阅读小说，您可以 阅读新闻

文章，您可以阅读社交媒体帖子，

确保您阅读了很多内容，然后

随着时间的流逝，正如我所说的，您会感觉

应该使用什么介词 所以我希望这

对你有所帮助我希望这是

对一些案例的一个很好的介绍，在这些案例中

它是一种基于规则的使用两个，但

也

只是为了给你一个提示，给你

一些关于这些表达的

信息 作为一种固定的表达方式，

非常感谢您的问题，

好吧，让我们继续您的下一个

问题，下一个问题

来自 vinai hi venai，当我说

我们如何用现在进行时谈论

同时发生的事件

时，

可以谈论两个或更多

现在

正在发生的事件，所以现在正在发生的两件事或更多件事

你可以尝试其中一个

模式

相机

所以提醒这些模式

用于同时发生的两个动作

如果你

想谈论

像习惯一样经常发生的动作你需要使用

我们不使用的简单现在时' t 将该

ing

形式用于常规动作 我们只能将

这些模式

用于现在正在发生的动作，所以

请记住这一点，但我希望

这有助于您描述

当前同时发生的动作

非常感谢这个问题

好的，让我们继续 你的下一个问题

下一个问题

来自 nelly 你好 nelly nelly 说你好 alicia

有根据的猜测是什么意思，

谢谢，是的，很好的问题，有

根据

的猜测是我们在进行

研究或获得

有关该主题的一些信息后做出的猜测，

因此我们可以 将其与只是猜测相比较，

所以

猜测只是

我们想出的东西 我们对分享的东西有想法

客人更准确，

例如，

如果我问你，你认为谁将

成为下一任美国总统

，你不知道，但你想

猜你 可以说像碧昂丝这样的名人

或其他人，

所以这可能不是一个好的

策略，尽管

碧昂丝总统听起来确实

很棒，但另一方面，做出有根据的猜测

需要你做一些研究

谁是候选人什么是 他们

在各种问题上的立场是

在做那种研究之后他们受欢迎还是不受欢迎，

然后

分享一个猜测，比如选择一个

候选人，这将是一个

有根据的猜测的例子，所以这就是

受过教育的客人和只是一个受过教育的客人之间的区别 猜测

请记住，

很多人喜欢假装做出

有根据的猜测，而他们实际上

只是在猜测，所以也请记住这一点，

我希望这对您有所帮助，谢谢您

的问题好吧，让我们继续您的

下一个问题

下一个问题来了 来自 lynn hi lin lin

说 hi alicia

我知道我们在 a 后接

辅音

时使用，并且在其后接元音时使用 an

但我听说我们代词 将 a 作为 a 或

a 取决于辅音或元音的

声音条件，

我只是将这些规则放在一起，我现在很

困惑有什么区别

，例如他是一个或一个

欧洲人，或者这是一个

或单向街道 非常感谢 啊

肯定 好的

首先让我们回顾一下 uh 或 a

和规则 我们在以辅音开头的单词之前使用

不定冠词 a 或 uh

我们

在以元音开头的单词之前使用

an 这里是

声音要小心，这

与

拼写无关，例如，我们使用一个小时，在那里，

因为

我们以元音开头

，

在拼写中以 h yes 开头，但声音是元音，

所以这是规则 使用 a

或 a 和 an 来回答您的问题，

但是实际上并没有

规定母语人士使用

a 或发音时的规则，这完全

取决于说话者，所以不要担心

您所学的内容您没有 改变

那里的任何东西，

所以只要保持在 m 发现

母语人士

有时会使用发音来强调，

所以当我们想要强调某些情况下存在关键差异时，我们会这样做

，

所以这里有

一个例子

让我们假设你正在寻找你的

手机

，我在这里找到了一个，我说嘿

我找到了这部手机，你可能会回复，

你可能会说

你找到了一部你没有找到

我的手机的手机，所以

母语人士会选择使用

a 发音的原因是为了

强调我刚刚找到了这部手机，

特别是我发现

一部手机 他们

会使用这个

强调，以便

在这种情况下发音作为强调

让我们再试一个例子，假设我们

是这种情况下的同事

，我正在寻找一个文件和我 重要的

文件

，你愿意帮助我找到一个

你认为正确

的文件，然后给我看，我去，嗯，是的，

你找到

了一个文件，但它不是文件，

所以在这种情况下，我正在对比，我正在

展示一个 区别 我强调

你找到的这个文件和

我正在寻找的文件之间的区别

在这种情况下，我使用文件来

表示我们都知道的关于

我们现在正在寻找的文件的文件

‘我正在使用 a 发音

来引起注意，

指出这件事和这件事是

不同的，所以当我

说发音可能用于

强调时，这就是我的意思，

所以总而言之，你可以使用 a 或 a 它

真的 没关系，这取决于您，

但是您可能会听到母语人士

在试图

强调这

件事和

另一件事之间的关键区别时使用该文章的发音，所以我希望这对

您有所帮助，谢谢

您的问题 继续你的下一个问题 next question

来自 Godson

ernst pierre luis 你好 龙芯 ernst

uh 龙芯艺术说我经常听到 no

这个词的两种不同发音

今天我想知道

哪个适合我 请

谢谢 aha 答案

既不是也不是 两种完全

可以接受的发音

实际上有一首著名的乔治·

格什温（george gershwin）歌曲如果你熟悉

乔治·格什温（George gershwin）他用蓝色写了狂想曲

无论如何他都有一些音乐剧

他和他的兄弟ira做了

一些很酷的音乐但是

在他们的作品中有一个非常有名的例子

引用了这个问题，所以他们

没有，也不是很好的例子，或者

像土豆和土豆

都可以接受，或者西红柿和西红柿，所以

一些单词有不同的发音，你可能知道更多，

但它们都很好，它们都

可以接受 可以不使用或都不使用

我个人会说，

在今天的美式英语中，我们可能

都不使用，而对于我

提到的番茄的其他词 和土豆

这些是更常见的发音，

但如果你愿意，你仍然可以使用其他

发音

，这是我个人的

建议，但你可以同时

使用它们，它们都很好，所以我希望

这对你有帮助，谢谢大家的问题

在

本课中我要讲的名字是

使用的积极和消极含义

可能对过去可能发生

的事情有积极意义，所以如果我们现在

正在谈话，可以给出

这样的形象

这在过去有

可能我们能够做的事情例如

一个例句啊如果我知道

你正在举办一个惊喜派对我本

可以帮助我可以

帮助所以在这里 本可以向我们表明，

在这种情况下，说话人不知道

某些信息

，因此该行动在过去是可能的，因此该行动没有

发生，

但在过去的某个时间点，

说话人本可以提供帮助

是可能的 过去的可能性，

所以我们使用可能必须表达这种

可能性，

但否定形式表达

相反的意思，

所以在否定中

不可能表达一些

不可能的

事情 这

是不可能的 我们

无法做到的 让我们看一个

例子 变得

不能，所以刚才不可能是

莎拉在咖啡馆里，换句话说

，刚才我们在咖啡馆里看到莎拉是不可能的，

为什么她在办公室所以在这种情况下

也许莎拉 演讲者的同事同事，

所以我们知道莎拉在办公室，所以我们

刚才在咖啡馆看到一个可能看起来像莎拉的人，

但

不可能是莎拉，因为

莎拉在办公室，

所以我们可以说这不可能

所以那是 sarah 是不可能的，

所以听起来

不可能比那是 sarah 更自然，所以

我们使用不可能

或不可能如此积极的形式

过去可能发生的事情，

所以要小心 相比之下，这里的一个关键区别可能

是这只是关于可能性，

我们不是在谈论做某事的计划

或后悔，

我们只是在谈论可能性，

当我们

在这里使用 can 或 could not 时

，让我们继续前进

下一部分 我要关注的下一部分应该

有

所以让我们看看积极的形式

应该有 积极的

表达对我们过去没有做的事情表示遗憾

所以

如果我们的谈话是这样的图像在这里 现在发生了，我们

想谈谈

我们过去没有做过的事情

，现在也许我们认为

哦，这是个好主意，就像我

应该做这件事我

过去没有做过这件事，这就是为什么我

用 x 标记它 在这里所以我没有做

这件事

但我现在感觉很遗憾我很遗憾我

应该在过去做那件事

所以这个的例句我应该

在学校的时候多学习这里是

我应该拥有的 并且这个动作研究得

更多，换句话说，说话者

过去没有足够的学习，

说话者觉得他或她

过去没有足够的学习

感到遗憾，并想要表达

我希望我做

这件事我应该做的改变

我在学校的时候学得更多，所以在这里我们有

更多这是一个常见的模式，

当我们使用更多时应该有或不应该有，这

意味着我应该

比我在学校时学得更多，

所以在这里演讲者很遗憾表达

后悔

对某事感到悲伤 他们没有这样做，

因此，当我们使用否定形式时

，说话者再次

表示遗憾，是的，但他们

对过去发生的事情表示遗憾，他们过去做过的事情，

所以我在这里

用检查

这个动作做了标记 发生了，我们

对那个行为感到遗憾 我们

对过去所做的事情感到难过 一个例子 我小时候不应该

花这么多时间玩电子游戏，

所以我在这里用过不应该

所以不应该 有是我们如何制作

我已经减少的负面形式 它不

应该在快速讲话中不

应该有

当他或她还是个孩子的时候，演讲者

现在很

遗憾演讲者说我不应该

花那么

多时间我应该花更少的时间

玩电子游戏

所以我可以使用积极应该有我

应该花

更少的时间玩电子游戏

我小时候

他 我不应该花这么多时间，所以

这里的一个关键点应该是

，我们正在表达

遗憾，记住，如果我们只是在

谈论

可能性，如果我们对

曾经做过的事情表示遗憾，

或者 过去没有发生过，所以考虑到

这一点，让我们继续

本课

的最后一点，最后一点，呃，最后一点，

而是本来

会发生的，所以当我们说会发生的时候，我们

经常说

会发生，我会提到 它在这里

与应该有我们说

应该有或不应该有相同的东西

与可能有

可能有或不可能有

是快速

语音中的正确发音所以当我们谈论会有

或当我们看会有

我们看一下积极的形式，

我们用它来表达

对没有

发生的事情的计划，所以我们谈论的

是过去的

事情，所以从过去的某个点来看

，当时我们有一个关于未来的

计划 事情或者我们认为

事情会发生 笔

但在积极的形式它没有

发生

这有点棘手让我们在这里看一个

示例情况

我今天会准时到达

但是交通很糟糕

所以我没有准时到达所以首先

这是我的

行动我会到达 准时

所以我有一个计划或者我有一个愿望

我想我会准时到达

所以在这个时间点我

今天会准时到达也许我们在

想当我离开家时也许

这就是 行动开始

我的计划是准时到达 所以

这一切都发生

在过去

去上班，

所以我没有准时到达

我本来可以准时到达的，但是我没有准时到达，

因为交通很糟糕，所以这

向我们展示了这

将向我们展示所有这些

信息，

这里的一切都是过去发生的，

就像时间轴一样，

所以我 th 如果我要准时到达，

发生了什么事而我没有，所以我们

可以使用将

不得不表现出我们在这一点上的想法

在过去

对未来行动的看法，该行动

也在过去，所以过去的几点

同时

还可以，所以让我们将

其与否定形式进行比较，然后否定形式

表达相反的意思，

因此我们缺乏计划或缺乏

欲望，因此

缺乏某事意味着没有计划或没有

欲望，

因此缺乏计划

过去发生的事情

它确实发生了，所以

我们通常使用这两者来谈论

其他人的选择，例如当我们

提供建议时

这个例句是一种非常常见的

方式，我们使用

不会有或不会让我们

看看

如果我是你，

在我找到新职位之前

我不会辞职所以这是我不会的

这意味着如果我是你，

我们就是这样开始的

如果我是你，我不是你，但如果我

在过去的这个时间点，我的

决定

不会是辞职

但是，您的决定是辞职，

这

确实发生了，在我的情况下，您辞职了

我说的是

在这种情况下我可能会做出的未来决定 倾听的人确实

选择辞掉他或她的工作

一种关于过去两点的想法，

就像一种一般

情况，如果我是你，我想是过去的起点，在这种情况下，一些决定，一些计划，

一些像欲望或缺乏欲望，在

这种情况下

，以否定形式 所以我们

像我说的那样使用这些来谈论其他

人的选择 n 我们提供的

建议就像哦，如果我是你，我

过去会这样做，所以

我们不得不谈论呃过去的

决定，也许会谈论一些

事情，如果你是演讲者，

你可能会喜欢的事情 改变你会

做

不同的事情，所以我们用它来谈论

这些

过去的决定，并提供建议

并讨论我们将来如何做出

不同的决定，

这样表达了

这个人应该有的愿望或缺乏愿望

表示遗憾过去可以

表示可能性，所以这只是

快速

介绍

这三种

表达及其否定形式之间的差异我

没有在这里写它们

所以不会有呃但是如果您对此有任何

其他问题

在评论中让我们

知道它们非常

相似 d 然后在这里有一种愿望或建议

，所以我希望这可以帮助您

理解这三个之间的区别，

非常感谢观看

本课，我 很快会再见到你

再见 大家好 欢迎回到热门

词 我的名字是艾丽西亚 今天我们

要讨论

10 种情态动词模式 let’s go

can you

can could you could you OK 所以第一个

是 can you or could you blah blah 所以

很多人

问 can you 和 can you 之间有什么区别，

如果你提出请求，我应该使用哪一个基本上你

可以使用任何一个，

如果你想听起来更

有礼貌，我会推荐 ommend you use could

you

so if you’re talking to yourfriend or

your family member you can say like

you can help me with this or you can

help me make dinner or you can buy some

milk

or you can please fix your 头发

如果你想更有礼貌一点，

就像你在

工作中与某人交谈或与你不太熟悉的人交谈时

那样，

你可以使用它看起来很奇怪，你可以使用 blah blah 所以

你能把那个文件发给我吗 或者

你能

告诉我洗手间在哪里你可以

在更礼貌的

情况下使用它们它们都是完全正确的

它们都可以在大多数日常

情况下使用所以由你

决定你想要听起来多么

礼貌示例 句子

你能帮我移动这个沙发

吗？我可以吗？我可以吗？我可以吗？可以吗？

当你想谈论

你自己的计划时，这会提出另一个非常常见的

问题 感觉是的，他们都

经验丰富 面对一些我们

不确定的事情，我们不确定的即将到来的计划，

但在今天的美式英语中，可能

在日常对话中更常用，当我们说话时，

可能听起来更

有礼貌，更正式

一点。 与我们的朋友交谈，我们

说这个周末我可能会去海滩，

或者我可能会去参加一个聚会

以使其消极

再次在日常对话中更多地使用，

就像 can 和 could may 和

might 都是完全正确的，

它们都可以使用它只是由

你来选择你想听起来有多礼貌

好的例子我可能会休息

一天 周

我应该做什么 我应该

好吗 这个重点是

我们应该

使用这个词

征求某人的意见 开所以

你可以说

如果你在日常生活中遇到麻烦我应该怎么做，

或者你可以用这个来做一个更

复杂的句子，

比如今晚我应该吃什么，

比如征求某人的

意见，

或者你可以改变为 以及其他人的眼睛

他应该做什么或她应该做什么或

他们应该做什么

你可以改变我在句子中

询问某人对第三人对

另一方的看法

所以这是一个非常基本的句子 是的，

我应该怎么做

这个模式，但是你可以用

这些非常非常简单的小事情

来改变它来询问你自己以外的其他人

另一个例子

我应该做什么晚餐我认为

你应该

我认为你应该没问题所以这里

我们再次看到

应该使用 在这种情况下，我们看到我

认为您应该

这样做，这意味着我们看到

了这里提出的建议模式，

这是您可以用来

轻柔地表达的东西，也许有点礼貌地

表达你 在这种情况下你对某事的看法

我认为你应该跟一个动词

我认为你应该动词我认为你

应该去我认为你应该戒烟

我认为你应该停止吃这么多

垃圾食品你正在给一些

建议 听众

你可以通过

放弃我认为

让这句话变得不那么礼貌所以你说你

应该这样做你应该这样

做会使句子不那么礼貌

包括我认为在它的开头

使它听起来有点柔和所以

听起来更好一点 更友善的

例子 我认为你应该开始

锻炼

好吗 我们好吗 我们好吗 这是另一个非常

常见的问题

很多人喜欢问关于

我们和我们之间的区别

他们非常不同 你

不能 可以互换使用

，我们应该是一种礼貌的方式来建议你

做某事

也许你在浪漫电影中看过这个，

比如我们应该跳舞

还是我们应该去喝一杯

，

听起来有点像 有点

好说，我们应该而不是你想要吗？

尽管它们具有相同的含义，但是

我们应该听起来更正式一些吗？

所以我们和我们有时会

被学习者混淆吗？

我们会完全不同吗？我们会

问吗？ 一个

关于未来计划的问题，比如我们

是否必须稍后为此付费，或者我们是否

能及时看电影

我们一起制定的这个未来计划

是真的吗这

就是两者之间的区别

哦关于这个的另一点我们

是否会紧张我们倾向于

使用我们还是应该我们真的不

使用他或她应该这样吗 通常

我们倾向于将它用于我们自己的活动

，这就是为什么你会

看到我们或我应该更多地使用

uh 这也适用于

像你看不到的表达，

应该与其他人的例子一起使用

我们拜访你的父母 圣诞节

if ii would

if ii would 这是一个非常常见的

模式

if i something i would 很多人都

喜欢用这个表达方式，比如如果我

是你我会所以他们想问

我是否

应该使用 was 我应该使用 is in 像如果我

是你或

如果我是你这样的模式正确的答案是如果我

是你

，我们会使用这样的模式，比如如果

我是某事某事可以

谈论一个可能的过去

情况当你想谈论

某事时 现在不是真的，

所以现在是不真实的情况，比如

成为你，这是

不真实的

如果我

丢了工作，我会找一份新工作，或者如果

我中了彩票，

我会买房子，这样你也可以

在这种模式下使用

动词

吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐，我们在 thi 中使用简单的过去

式 s 动词形式，所以请

确保不要使用

简单的现在时，或者不要

在这里使用

ing 动词形式

记住当你使用

这种模式来

表达一些不真实的东西时，

就像我的例句中的那样，

如果我中了彩票，我会买房子，

确保你使用正确的

动词形式，如果我中

了彩票过去式 动词 i would

buy

a house 主句中的动词

是不定式所以确保

你的动词匹配这是一个很好的

学习

语法的好方法

用于表达

我们在日常对话中很少使用 must 的规则，

因为它听起来很强烈

，但您会看到 must 用于

官方规则，例如，如果您正在旅行，

您会喜欢机场，

也许您会看到一些 标志上的规则

某处或者你看到的我不知道

也许你正在阅读一份合同

一些你经常看到的官方的东西

必须使用

我们在日常对话中使用 must 用于

超级超级强大的

事情，比如你必须这样做或你

不能那样做 例如，也许您的医生会给您

一些建议，

因此一般而言，您在日常对话中不会经常看到这一点，

但您应该知道什么时候这意味着

您应该认真对待某些事情

，例如官方规定中您不得

在该区域吸烟

或 你必须停止吃垃圾食品，否则

你会变得

非常非常不健康，或者你不能

忘记你母亲的生日，这

实际上是非常真实的

，这是非常强烈的情况你

不能忘记你母亲的生日

你不能完全让你母亲失望，

所以

这些是 我们需要沟通的所有非常重要和

重要的事情 我们必须

这样做

你当然也可以将你的

主题更改为他

或她或他们，这样你就

不仅仅是 t 与

您交谈 听众或读者，但您

可以用它来表达

其他人必须或不可以做的事情

例如

乘客必须向移民官员出示他们的护照

这一定不能 这一定不能

这样使用 must 有时有点

挑战这个使用 must 的关键

是使用 must 和 b

所以当我们一起使用 must 和 b 时，

我们在这个例子中谈论可能的条件

或可能的状态

，我们看到它是

否定的 this must not be

something something 所以我们

在这样的情况下使用它，

例如你正在寻找一个

你在手机上使用 gps 的地方

，你来到这个地方，你认为

这似乎是

正确的，但我

正在寻找

的餐厅不是 在这里，我们可能会说这一定不是

正确的地方，这意味着

这可能不是正确的地方，或者

这个表达式描述了当我们在肯定中使用它时

，某些东西在否定中不正确的可能性非常高

，

例如 oh th is must be the right place

I found the restaurant 这意味着

我很有可能

是正确的，所以

当我们将它与 b 一起使用时，must 的这种用法是

否定的，不能

是肯定的 this must be so you

can use it 谈论地方，

您也可以用它来谈论

条件，例如，当您

查看测试中的答案时，

您可能会认为这一定

是正确的答案，

或者这一定是正确的，您可以同时

使用名词

和形容词 在此之后表达

某事物的高或低条件是真实的

例子

这一定不是正确的地方它

关闭

了不可能那

不可能那不可能这是那个不可能的简化

形式这意味着 这是不可能的，

所以某些条件或状态是

不可能的，

这与 must not be 不同，

因为 must not be

表示某事为真的

可能性非常低 无法表示某

事完全不可能，

p 为零 某些事情是真的的可能性

很大，例如，如果我认为我

在咖啡店看到我的同事，但我知道

我的同事在办公室，

我可能会对自己想，这不可能是

因为

她今天在办公室 她

看起来就像我的同事，

但我知道这

不可能 t be 表示这是完全

不可能的

如果你想表达

一些不可能

完全不可能的事情，使用 this ca

n’t be 也不能在这里是可以接受的，但是

当你想表达某事

只是

可能的时候，使用可能不是不可能是

有趣的点

，可以的例子 t 是正确的

文件，数据完全是 不同，

我们不应该，我们不应该，

所以在这里我们再次使用应该，

这次是否定的，

不应该是简化的形式，不应该

变成不应该，

在这种情况下，我们将它与

我们有意义的主题一起使用 你和我

一起

不应该再

这样 我们不应该忘记我们母亲的

生日，

这是今天课程的重点

在这种情况下，你可以用我们不应该动词来表达，也请记住你

用不定式跟随动词

我们不应该做不应该

吃的事情我们不应该说话我们不应该忘记

所以不要使用 像 ing 形式不要

使用 p 此处的时态形式

请遵循如果这种使用 建议

形式与简单的不定式示例

我们不应该考虑太多

好吧 这就是本

集的一切 那是

10 个可以使用的情态动词模式

你做了什么 认为你可以

在评论中让我们知道，

这就是这一

集的一切，非常感谢

你的收看，我

下次再见再见，大家好，欢迎

回来知道你的动词，我的名字是

艾丽西亚，在这节课中，我们是 开始

讨论动词

Deliver

让我们开始吧 让我们从

动词

的基本定义开始 Deliver 基本定义是

从一个人那里拿一些

东西给另一个人 一些

例子

Fedex 今天给我送了包裹 他

每周三个晚上送披萨

现在让我们看看

这个动词的变位现在

传递传递传递

传递过去分词传递

渐进传递

现在让我们谈谈一些加法

这个动词

的具体含义 第一个附加含义是分娩

或帮助某人分娩

让我们从一些例子开始 我们的

医生已经安全地接生了

许多婴儿 母亲接生了双胞胎

所以这个动词的用法 交付

特指分娩 有时

动词是 用于谈论某人，

例如医生

或护士或助产士或其他

帮助母亲生

孩子的人，

在这种情况下，我们看到类似

第一个例句的句子我们的医生已经

安全地接生了

许多婴儿，这意味着医生已经

协助 许多不同的

呃婴儿的出生已经

安全地帮助了这可能是一个关键词但是

安全地分娩帮助了许多

婴儿进入这个

世界第二个例句但是

重点

是母亲所以母亲生了双胞胎

意味着母亲

生了双胞胎所以 交付

指的是在该句子中分娩，

因此根据句子的主题，

它可能意味着

帮助

当我们通常谈论母亲时，某人正在分娩或实际分娩，

因此

交付可以指这两个

东西，但它们都与

分娩育儿有关让我们继续

本课

的第二个附加含义第二个附加含义 因为

交付是说话

或唱歌，尤其是在针对

某人时

让我们看一些例子马丁·

路德·金小马丁·路德·金在华盛顿特区发表了一场感人的演讲

，

法官今天晚些时候将作出判决

，

所以这两个例句都显示出

一种

正式的事件 第一个例句

指的是一个非常著名的

演讲 第二个例句

指的是法庭之类的正式场合

，在这个场合中，法官正在发表如在例句中

的判决

第一个例句

martin luther king jr 发表演讲

，意思是

说是的，但通常有

某种类似的大

意图 e是单词背后的特定目标

，

我们也可以用它来谈论

歌唱，

例如提供了惊人的表演

，例如，

如果您在谈论歌剧，也许只是

为了举个例子，

但是有些大目标有些

目的

有些大的意图 uh

在唱歌的情况下或在说话的情况下的表演

所以在第一个例句中我们

看到这是一个演讲 这是一个重要的

演讲

我们正在谈论所以马丁路德金

发表

了一个我们可以说的重要演讲 发表了

重要演讲

是的，但是使用交付 一种

升级形式 升级情况的严重性

第二个例句关于

法官作出判决

我们看到选择交付在那里，

因为这是一个正式的情况，

我们可以说法官给出了判决

或者法官也

提供了判决，但交付

就像法官

以一种正式的方式传递信息，这是

一种 单词选择的含义 在

这里你可以看到 Deliver 用于

在正式和

重要的情况下谈论交流

举一些

例子，

我不确定他们是否会按时

交付他们的承诺，所以

动词交付的这种使用意味着提供

一些预期的东西，比如有

一些订单或者

已经提出了一些要求并且需要 被

履行，所以有人需要

信守诺言 这就是使用交付的感觉，

所以在第一个例句中，

我们看到

我不确定他们是否会按时交付

意味着我不确定他们是否会遵守

他们准时的承诺

就像日程安排已经

改变了一些

问题出现了我们不知道但我

不确定他们是否会交付这

意味着我不确定他们是否会

完成他们所说的事情 他们将

在我们商定的时间范围内完成，所以我

不确定他们是否会完成我

不确定他们是否能够按时完成他们所说的

事情

第二个例句是 更积极，

虽然他们

在这里兑现了

他们的承诺

兑现了他们的

承诺 他们能够做

他们说他们会做的事情

让我们继续

动词

的下一个附加含义 交付下一个附加含义是

从

某事中拯救某人 让我们从一些例子开始

将我们从

邪恶中拯救出来 救援队交付

危险的人 关于

动词交付的这个含义的一个关键点是它

相当

正式，甚至圣经

圣经意味着它与圣经有关，

所以如果你

读过圣经或 如果您熟悉

圣经中的一些祈祷或某些说话方式，您可能熟悉

我们在第一个例句中看到的这种用法，

将我们从邪恶中

拯救出来，所以从邪恶中拯救我们

如果您参加教堂或参加

另一种宗教或

可能与宗教相关的组织，那么以这种方式交付在日常讲话中并不常用，

您可能会

在您的社区

中听到这种交付的用法 news 我们不

使用动词 Deliver 来谈论

拯救

甚至拯救人们

，例如我说的 save 和

rescue 更常见，

Deliver 更倾向于在

圣经

上下文中使用 第二个例句，

如救援队

交付了 处于危险中的人，这

有点像我有点延伸

那个人的含义，这

可能

不是一个典型的例子，但它

有点

像那种情况 你

可以想象使用 Deliver ，

所以如果我正在撰写报告或者我

正在制作

当天的新闻，我可能不会

以那种方式使用 Deliver，但是嗯，它的意思

仍然在那里传达，所以 Delivery

往往被

用在严肃的地方 呃，比如

把我们从邪恶中拯救出来，邪恶是非常

严重的，

或者是把某人从危险中解救出来，或者

从一个非常紧张的情况中解脱出来，

所以它在本质上往往是更严重的事情

，但就像我说的

那样，在日常讲话中，这种方式并不常用

你 可能会

在特定的宗教组织中听到更多，

让我们继续了解动词的一些变体

交付第一个变体是传递

打击传递打击

这意味着对某事产生破坏性影响

一些例子她对公司造成了打击

她宣布了她的

决定 球队又进了一个球

给他们的对手一个打击

好吧 所以打击意味着

造成一些伤害或造成一些

伤害 但这通常并不意味着

身体上，这更像是

在第一个例句中的精神或情感伤害

她的决定对公司造成了打击，

这意味着她做出了决定并且以

某种方式

损害了她的公司，所以也许她

就像

首席执行官或 她是公司的一名高级管理人员，

她决定辞职

，她是一名非常有价值的员工，所以这

对公司造成了身体上的

伤害而不是伤害，

但公司失去了一些

重要的东西，所以

我们可以说她对公司造成了打击，

她造成了伤害或她曾经

喜欢过

由于她的决定对公司造成了破坏性影响

所以她给了一个打击我们可以

在第二个例句中说我们

在运动情况下看到它

所以球队a进了另一个进球所以我们看到

另一个进球意味着以前有一个

进球或 已经进球了，

但是球队又进了一个球

，给了他们的对手一个打击，

所以 b 队

，这意味着 a 队他们的得分

上升了，而 b 队可能是动力

或斗志 le被损坏了，所以

再次打击并不意味着对某人进行身体

攻击，

这意味着存在

某种伤害，通常类似于精神

或情感伤害，

在这种情况下，可能会发生与动机相关的

伤害，

所以再次打击可能意味着造成

伤害 对某人

或某事，如组织或

公司，让我们继续这个动词的第二个

变体，即

交付货物 交付货物 这是一个

非常非正式和非常随意的

表达，意思是给出已经承诺的事情的

例子 我不确定他们

是否能够按时交付

货物如果您想在这里工作，您必须准备好交付货物，

所以这两个都指某种

服务或

某种货物 就像提供了某种物品，

所以你

可能会在电影和电视节目中听到这个，

这是一个非常非常非常随意的

表达，

嗯，有时可能会有一些活动的细微差别

是不

合法的，所以它可以指诸如

非法获得的毒品或药物或其他

种类的物质或其他种类

的赃物，例如

，您不想具体说出某些

东西，例如它是什么

所以我们说交付货物，所以货物

可以意味着

任何数量的东西交付货物

意味着像

给予承诺的东西，就像

我们在其他含义之一中谈到

的那样，但就像你必须承诺

提供你所说的东西 ’re going

to offer

所以它有一点点

黑暗的感觉我想

有时我们可能会不时在朋友之间随意使用这个

表达方式，

比如

交付派对用品等各种小情况

，例如

嗯，但是 在更严重的情况下，它可以

指代交付货物的可能

不完全合法的活动，

所以如果您有任何疑问，这些是一些

希望使用动词交付的新方法

s 或评论，或者

如果您知道使用动词的不同方式

交付，

请随时在

此视频的评论部分告诉我们

大家好，欢迎回来了解您的

动词，我的名字是艾丽西亚，在这一

集中，我们将 谈论

动词

post 让我们开始吧

动词 post 的基本定义是

在标志或类似于标志的东西上发布或宣布某

事 他在社区公告板上张贴了广告

让我们在城镇周围张贴标志

现在让我们看看

这个动词的变位 现在

帖子 帖子通过

发布过去分词 发布

渐进式发布

现在让我们谈谈

这个动词

的一些附加含义 第一个附加含义是

在社交媒体上分享一些东西

例子我看到

你昨天在 Instagram 上发布的那张照片

你看到那个消息了吗 她在

脸书上发帖，所以当我们上传照片或消息等信息时，我们会发布

任何我们可以使用

动词

帖子来谈论的信息 对于推特，我

想我们也可以

将推特用作动词，您可以说我

在推特上发帖或者我也发了推

文，嗯，但是

当我们在社交媒体上分享任何东西时，发帖是我们可以用于所有社交媒体的通用动词

说

我在 facebook 或

instagram 或 twitter 或 snapchat

上发布了一些

东西 youtube 在 youtube 上发布的其他内容

帖子的使用

来自最初的like定义

，就像把东西放在

社区标志上，

或者喜欢把东西放在社区

里，很多人可以看到它，

因为社交媒体的目的

是分享很多

人会看到的东西

所以我认为 post 的使用来自

动词 post 的基本定义，

例如在社区空间中分享某些东西，

因为我们希望其他

人看到它并对其做出

回应第二个附加含义是

通过邮件发送东西

这在

英式英语中更常用实际上

在美式英语中我们倾向于

更频繁地使用动词邮件但在英式

英语中你可能会

听到使用过的例子你能把我

今天贴几封信的文件发给我吗所以在这里

post

指的是邮寄一些东西，比如你能把

文件寄给我吗？文件的意思是你能不能通过邮件给

我发送文件

，就像男性一样？

在

英式英语中，

post 更常用于表示

英式英语中的男性，在美式英语中，

我们倾向于

更常用动词男性，因此根据

您正在学习的英语类型或您

更喜欢使用

您可能会在这里用这个动词做出决定

所以 post or

mail post 英国男性美国人

第三个额外的意思

是把某人送到某个地方去寻找

他被张贴在白宫外的工作示例

re’s security 张贴在建筑物周围，

因此您可以在这些

例句中看到它是一种

与安全或军事有关的工作，以及

某种类型的守卫，我们并没有真正

将它

用于像常规办公室工作那样，

就像我不会说的那样 ‘已经被派往我

公司

在北京的类似分支机构

听起来有点奇怪，我们会

说也许是调动，或者我

就像我已经被调动了，或者我已经

被调到了我公司的办公室，

当我们谈论像 一个特定的

地方，比如我们需要

站在某个地方等待的工作，它往往是

出于安全军事目的

这种事情我们可以用

动词 post 来谈论

如果你使用 post 可能听起来有点

不合适 对于不同的工作，所以这些是

一些

示例，您可以使用 post 来指

代被派往某处从事

此类工作

现在让我们继续讨论这个动词的一些变体

第一个变体是让

某人发帖以留住某人 发布了

这个 m 旨在

向某人提供定期更新示例

让我发布有关您的项目的

信息 就像

在社区中共享信息

以保持某人的发布有点像

继续共享信息，

以便您在进行项目或在

某些事情上取得进展时

您共享您的更新您共享您的

信息您让

某人发布 所以我们看到在这些

句子中

所以在第一个让我发布关于

你的项目这意味着请向我发送

关于你的项目的更新我想

知道第二个例句我会尽量

让你了解我的日程安排

意味着我会尝试 为了让您了解最新情况，我

会尝试定期向您发送

有关我的日程安排

的更新信息让我们继续这个动词的另一个变体

第二个变体

是 post bail to post bail 这

意味着 off r 用金钱换取

免于监狱的例子 他保释并

立即出狱

许多人

即使是轻微犯罪也无法保释 这是美国刑事制度的一个非常

具体的

变化 有一种

叫做保释的东西

所以如果有人 如果某人

因犯罪而被捕并且必须入狱

，则被定罪

如果该

人

可以支付这笔钱，则可以将其

从监狱中释放 他们不必

待在监狱中，这就是

所谓的保释金 支付这笔钱，所以

这笔钱的名字是保释，但我们

在这里使用动词

post，所以我们说 post bail to post

bail 意味着支付所需的金额

以离开监狱，所以这是一个特定的

短语，我们

只使用 对于这种类型的保释金，

我们根本不会

在其他类似的金融交易中使用它

来保释只是指支付

这笔钱才能出狱，所以

这是一个非常具体的，

我不知道是否 你有 保释在你的

国家，但这是

在美国存在的东西，所以这些是一些新的方式，我

希望你可以使用动词

后当然如果你有问题或

意见或想练习

造句，

请随意这样做 在

好吧今天的主题是如何调整您的

日常生活和在家学习语言

我们中的许多人都在家里度过越来越多的

时间，

所以你好吗 充分利用这段时间

，学习你的目标语言

在家学习可能会因为所有的干扰而变得艰难，

在这一集中，

你将发现

学习的利弊 在家

以及如何在家中成功学习

而不会

分心 反正很多都是在家里完成的，

但这并不意味着所有这些

都不会影响人们的学习方式，

如果你在通勤期间使用语言学习应用程序或

听课

但你不再通勤，

大流行可能已经

我们中的许多人在家里花更多时间

能够有效地在家学习

是一项很好的技能，

因为虽然在家学习或工作

听起来不错，

但做第一部分并不容易

在家学习的利弊

首先是专业人士

很方便 你可以学习

任何你想要的东西

你也有更多的时间因为

你没有通勤或从

火车站步行去上班

它也更容易 练习口语

许多人可能会发现很难

在火车上或

午休时间或在办公室工作

时练习这听起来有点奇怪，但在家里你可以花更多时间练习口语什么是

你最喜欢在家学习的专业

我们现在发表评论

缺点

分心 家里有很多

分心

有电视 有沙发

食物和家人

接下来进出 休息和工作之间没有身体或精神上的

分离，这

对于集中注意力

至关重要 与人们更喜欢

去健身房而不是在

自己舒适的家中锻炼的原因相同，

如果您所在的地方只有

一个目标，例如锻炼，

并且周围都是锻炼的人

，那么您将没有 这样做有问题，

但如果你在一个

与休息吃饭和看电视有关的地方，

你可能会难以集中注意力，但如果

你花更多的时间在家里，

那么你至少应该让 最好

的，在家学习你的语言第二

部分如何在

不分心的情况下成功地在家学习所以这里是

你如何做

首先选择一个专门的

学习场所，最好不要你的床

，就像办公室与

工作时间和你的 卧室

与休息有关 你需要一个与语言学习有关的地方

它可能是你房间角落的桌子

它可能是你的地下室

，只要它远离干扰

和休息的地方

第二次选择这样的时间，例如

当它是 晚上 9 点你知道是时候

投入 10 分钟的语言学习了

三时间限制你的学习课程

什么时间拳击

时间拳击只是

为一项活动设置固定的时间

例如你将把

接下来的 10 分钟用于语言

如果您通常无法

集中精力，别无其他 拳击是

设定界限并完成工作的好方法

四从小处着手，就像设置小

量度一样 合理的目标和现实的日常安排

不要留出两个小时的学习时间，

而是尝试为方框 5 计时 10 或 15

分钟，并坚持一两个星期，

一旦你对日常安排感到更舒服，以后随时可以增加时间

一天内完成多个课程，

而不是试图

在一个

镜头空间

中掌握课程对话中

的一堂课 早上

你会熟悉

对话 所有的单词和语法

规则

不要急于记住所有内容 你会

在当天晚些时候再回来 白天

这样做大约 5 到 15 分钟

练习模仿

对话

练习回忆单词 这样做

大约 10 分钟

你也可以

使用语法规则写出课程对话练习

或用抽认卡练习单词

，晚上回来复习

大约 10 分钟

您可以通过在一天内完成多个会话来重新听课程或

只听对话曲目

您会更加熟悉

该语言，

因为您间隔了

学习时间并回来复习

，虽然它可能会感到重复

重复可以帮助您

长期掌握语言

6. 在家中多练习口语

如果您在

通勤或外出散步时很难练习，

但如果您在家，您可以轻松地

说话 大声说出来，不要引起注意

或感到尴尬，

所以回顾一下 一个选择一个远离分心的特定

学习地点，

比如你的

床 二

选择一个特定的学习时间 三

时间框你的学习课程 四从小开始

五在一天六内完成多个课程

下次见 再见

有很多人正在努力

学习另一种语言，

但也有很多人

从小会说 两种或两种以上的语言

，甚至没有考虑过

如果你能说两种语言

你会说双语如果你能说更多

你会说多种语言

在许多国家会说两种或

多种语言是正常的，甚至是预期的，

但在一些国家，人们会长大

说和学习一种语言

如果您说一种语言，那么您是

单语者，

那么单语者可以从双语者或多语者那里学到什么

这个视频将看看它是什么 喜欢

在两种或多种语言中自在

这里有六条

与双语和

多语相关的信息，您可以在

语言学习中使用它们

第一次双语和大脑

双语或多语如何

影响大脑

你是否梦想两种语言？

当有人在说话时，在脑海中看到另一种语言的字幕

此类问题的答案因人而异

有些人可能主要用

他们最熟悉的语言做梦

，偶尔用另一种语言做梦

有些人可能能够毫不费力

地在两者之间转换 他们知道的语言，

而其他人可能会不时陷入困境

这些都是

了解一种以上

语言的正常部分 从出生就接触过另一种语言的人

可能在语言

习得方面比单语者有一定的优势

他们可能已经熟悉

某些声音 和

单语者不熟悉的声音组合

作为语言学习者

，

如果您已经掌握一门语言

并决定开始学习一门新语言，

您可能

对此非常熟悉

和我知道的另一个单词有相同的元音，

所以

在学习新

词汇和语法等东西时听起来应该很相似，但是

单语双语和

多语者都需要花时间

学习

和记忆，所以在你自己的学习中

不要 被说

你的母语和目标

语言的人气馁

他们的

学习经历可能与你

认为的语言学习而不是

语言能力完全不同

第二语言错误和困惑

你可能想知道双语者是否曾经

混淆过他们头脑中的语言

精通

多种语言可以在心理上区分语言

但是有情况 s 人们

即使在我们的母语中也会暂时忘记单词，或者我们会

想到一种语言中的单词，但

在某些情况下，我们甚至可能想要使用

存在于一种语言中但不存在于另一种语言中的单词，这是

一个有趣的学术概念

关于这个主题的文献

是完美的双语它是

指某人可以

在同等高水平上完美地讲两种语言许多

人认为从小会

说两种语言的人能够

完美地使用两种语言

并且听起来完美无瑕，但这通常

不是 真正的

双语者通常更

愿意用特定语言谈论某些话题

也有一些情况，

双语者的发音可能

与单语者的口音略有不同

即使他们能流利而轻松地说另一种语言

人们通常会

使用最有效和最舒适的语言

第三双语社会 你想象一个

地方，你用一种语言与你的家人交谈，

你的邻居和你的老板

用第三种语言交谈，写信和第四种语言

这听起来像是一个梦想 许多

语言爱好者，但在某些

社会中，

这种类型的多语言社会发生

在伊拉克北部世界各地的边境地区是很正常的

，例如人们

通常说库尔德

土耳其语和伊拉克阿拉伯语，其中许多

人在某些地方

的学校使用现代标准的阿拉伯语和英语

的中国

人可能在学校学习英语

外出购物时说他们所在城市的普通话 工作时

说标准普通话 甚至在家与家人在一起

时可能会说另一种语言

当人们说 这通常是因为

他们是使用这些语言长大的，

而不是在学校学习它们时 你

在朋友家使用一种语言

并纠正了他们的发音

没有焦虑

这种学习与

在学校环境中学习

不同 多亏了电视和 youtube，世界在功能上是

双语的

有时，即使在

人们会说多种语言的社会中，父母

也会制作教育英语视频

供孩子们观看，

但更有趣的是

，对于已经用英语的孩子们来说，他们可以享受的乐趣

作为一名成人语言

学习者也可以这样做

几个月后，

第四传统语言

你可能会认识一个来自移民

家庭的说不同语言的人

在家里比在其他人那里做的

语言在

学术上被称为传统

语言基本上是一种人们

在家里学习而

在其他任何地方都没有使用的语言

你可以想象这样的安排

会在一些人的语言能力上产生巨大的变化

他们通过

每周一次拜访祖父母

而学习的传统语言 其他人

通过父母强制执行的严格的家庭教育程序

学习

与在单语环境中长大的人相比，

他们的口音通常会

受到影响 他们长大的主要语言

，

或者他们可能对使用

一些

他们不熟悉的语法或词汇感到不舒服，但

另一方面，他们可能能够

流畅地使用诸如语调、

语法性别和语言的其他方面的东西。

学习者难以

掌握听力 理解力也

可能很好

另一个很大的区别是阅读和

写作，你可能不记得了，

但是阅读和写作需要时间来

学习，可能很难激励

自己或

孩子学习用新语言阅读或写作，

尤其是如果那样的话 语言有

一个不同而复杂的脚本

如果你

有一种传统

语言并且你正在努力

重新激活它，我们可能会倾向于依赖我们已经拥有的阅读和写作技能而不是学习新东西 善待自己

也许你感觉像你 应该知道如何

用您的传统语言阅读或写作，

但您

不知道，没关系，您可以努力

培养这些技能，因为任何其他语言

学习者都会

提高读写能力的一个好方法是阅读带有音频的文本，

您可以在 同时，

您可以使用我们的

语言学习计划中的课程笔记或

观看带字幕的视频，

这很容易在您舒适的家中轻松完成

。 第二

语言

关于是否有可能将一门

语言学习到母语水平

有很多分歧的讨论 重要的是要考虑母语

水平的含义

也许以您的目标语言为母语的人

可以完美地谈论他们的工作，

但他们不能说 对

超出他们领域的话题的深度

你不希望自己能够

用你的母语完美地谈论任何事情，

所以不要指望你能神奇地用

你正在学习的语言完美地交流

此外，重要的是要记住，

没有人总是说得完美无瑕，

我们都会犯错误，我们知道如何

纠正自己和澄清

信息

世界上最好的演讲者

即使在舞台上也会犯错误，

每个人之前都被他们的话绊倒，

这是否意味着他们是 不流利地说

他们自己的

语言当然不是你可以做一些了不起的

事情来获得类似母语的外语口音，

但他们 所有这些都需要大量的工作

很多人在谈话

的前几分钟就说服别人他们是母语人士，

如果你在 40 秒后最终犯错真的很重要吗

40 分钟记住完美的

演讲不需要说得像

我们在这个视频中谈到的本地人

许多双语和多语种的人

也有优点和缺点

6 双语者会不会忘记一门

语言

如果你很忙，语言技能会随着时间的推移而

下降 语言

而很少使用另

一种语言 您可能会发现您使用一种您不使用的语言的能力有所下降，因为经常

完全忘记一种语言需要

很长时间，

尽管您可能会在这里和

那里忘记一个您可能会赢的语言的单词

除非你

几十年不使用它，否则不会完全失去一门语言

对于

任何考虑在另一个国家度过一生的人来说，这是需要考虑的事情

确保保留你的语言

否则随着时间的推移，

事情可能会越来越难

记住双语或多语

是非常有趣

的很多语言学习者将

自己与双语或多

语者进行比较

记住双语和多语

者在

他们还是孩子的时候也投入了工作所以不要

如果您自己的学习似乎很慢，请不要感到气馁，

这只是需要时间，这对

每个人
