the description below right now okay

let's jump into today's topic a brutally

honest way to improve your language so

if you're learning a language on your

own do you ever feel like you're just

coasting through without making real

progress then it's possible that you're

taking it a bit too easy so what should

you do part 1 why tests are crucial for

language progress the quick answers are

1 tests give you an honest assessment of

your language skills and 2 motivation

but let's break these down in full if

you've ever enrolled in a language

school or taken a language class you've

probably taken a placement test based on

your results the teachers place you into

an appropriate class so tests can help

you learn what's appropriate for your

level tests also allow for ongoing

assessment through things like weekly

quizzes and tests every month so what's

the big deal with tests and quizzes even

though some of us don't like tests tests

can give you honest assessments of your

language skills and specific ways for

example if you fail the listening part

of a test you know your weakness is

there if you forget a grammar pattern

you know you need to practice it more

but if you're learning alone you might

not get

many testing opportunities and you may

not be aware of mistakes you're making

in your studies right now you don't know

what pieces you might be missing tests

can give you opportunities to check your

actual language skills and sometimes

they give you a brutal reality check now

the second benefit of tests is

motivation think about it as a self

learner no one else is going to push you

to do your best and most people like to

take it easy so if you're wondering why

you're not fluent yet but you've been

coasting along learning words here and

there without actually testing your

limits consider that it might be because

you haven't actually been testing and

pushing yourself at all tests can give

you that push that challenge that

urgency to improve that motivation

there's a specific date and time for the

test

you have to be ready by that deadline

just think back to the night before it

test you felt the urgency back then you

were motivated to pass so this is

exactly why a lot of self learners take

proficiency tests it gives them

something to aim for something to be

motivated about something to achieve now

tests are not the complete answer to

language learning but they do give you a

way to assess yourself and they give you

a challenge so what can you do as a self

learner part 2 how you can put yourself

to the test before you worry about

failing recognize that it's not about

passing or failing it's about getting an

honest assessment of your progress the

first and most obvious thing you can do

is sign up for a language proficiency

test there are many kinds of proficiency

tests available so you can pick the

right one for you signing up will put

you under added pressure and give you

extra motivation to improve this is

something that's hard to do on your own

second if you're a Premium Plus member

on our website then you can get weekly

assignments that put you to the test

these assignments are graded and you get

feedback from your teacher so you know

what to do to improve and help the third

thing you can do is come back and review

once you're done with a lesson our

pathway download the dialogue tracks and

review them at a later date see how much

you can understand this test your

listening plus your vocab and grammar

for speaking record yourself with our

voice recorder

tool and compare yourself to the native

pronunciation remember you can always

self-test by coming back and seeing how

much you understand the fourth thing you

can do is test yourself with a harder

lesson think of it as trying to lift a

heavier weight at the gym to see if you

can do it you can do this for reading

speaking and listening simply go to a

higher level like intermediate or

advanced and try a lesson with reading

you can also try our higher level

extensive reading books again remember

with all of this the goal here is not a

pass or fail result the goal is to get

an honest assessment of your language

skills what you know and what you don't

know if you realize that you're

mispronouncing a certain word you'll

know how to correct it if you can

understand only 50% of a lesson well

that means you should review it until

you get to 100% if you don't understand

the lesson dialogue at all which is

where most people get intimidated make

it a goal to master the dialogue give

yourself a goal to aim for and if you

can't read as smoothly as you had hoped

all it means is that you should give it

a few more tries until you're better

I'll write everyone in the last monthly

你将学习一个为什么测试

对于语言进步实际上是至关重要

的 可以让自己接受

测试，所以如果你自己学习

学习进步，那可能是

你太容易了，你没有

这些免费资源现在点击

下面描述中的链接好吧

让我们进入今天的主题一个残酷的

诚实 提高语言的方法，所以

如果你自己学习一门语言，

你是否曾经觉得自己只是

在滑行而没有取得真正的

进步，那么你有可能是

太容易了所以你应该

怎么做第 1 部分为什么测试对

语言进步至关重要快速的答案是

1 测试可以让你诚实地评估

你的语言技能和 2 动机，

但如果你曾经做过，让我们把它们全部分解

就读于语言

学校或参加过语言课程 您

可能已经根据

您的成绩参加了分班考试 老师将您安排到

适当的班级，因此测试可以帮助

您了解适合您的

水平测试的内容还允许通过以下方式进行持续

评估 每周

测验和每个月的测试 所以

即使我们中的一些人不喜欢测试，测试和

测验有什么大不了的

知道自己的弱点在

那里 你现在可能

不知道你在学习中犯的错误

你不知道

你可能会错过哪些部分测试

可以让你有机会检查你的

实际语言技能，有时

它们会给你一个残酷的现实检查

现在第二次 测试的好处是

动力 把它当作一个

自学者 没有其他人会推动你

做到最好，大多数人

喜欢放轻松，所以如果你想知道为什么

你还没有流利，但你一直

在没有实际测试你的极限的情况下在这里和那里学习单词

考虑这可能是因为

你没有真正进行测试并且

在所有测试中推动自己可以给

你推动挑战的

紧迫性提高这种动机

有一个特定的日期和时间 对于

考试，

你必须在截止日期前做好准备，

回想考试前一天晚上，

你感到紧迫感，那时你

有动力通过，所以这

正是许多自学者选择

教授的原因 能力测试它给了他们

一些目标，让他们有

动力去完成一些事情现在

测试并不是语言学习的完整答案，

但它们确实给了你

一种评估自己的方法，它们给了你

一个挑战，所以你能做些什么作为一个

自学者第 2 部分

在

担心不及格之前

如何进行测试

测试 有多种能力

测试可供选择，因此您可以选择

适合自己的测试 注册

会给您带来更大的压力，并为您提供

额外的动力来改进 如果您是高级会员，这是

您自己第二次很难做到的事情

加上

我们网站上的会员，您可以获得每周

作业，让您参加考试

改进和帮助

您可以

做的第三件事是在完成课程后回来复习 我们的

途径 下载对话曲目

并在以后复习 看看

您能理解多少 测试您的

听力以及您的词汇和语法

使用我们的录音机工具记录自己的口语

，并将自己与母语发音进行比较

记住，您始终可以

通过返回并

查看您的理解程度来进行自我测试您可以做的第四件事

是通过更难的课程来测试自己，

将其视为尝试

在健身房举起更重的重量，看看你

能不能做到 你可以这样做来阅读

口语和听力只需进入

更高的水平，如中级或

高级，然后尝试阅读课程

你也可以尝试我们更高水平的

泛读书籍 再次

记住所有这些，这里的目标不是

通过或失败的结果，目标是对

你的语言技能进行诚实的评估，

你知道什么，如果你不

知道什么 你意识到你对

某个单词的发音有

误，如果你能

很好地理解一堂课的 50%，你就会知道如何纠正它

，这意味着如果你不理解课程对话，你应该复习它，直到

你达到 100%

这

就是大多数人害怕的地方

把掌握对话作为目标 给

自己一个目标，如果你

不能像你希望的那样流畅地阅读，

这意味着你应该

多尝试几次 在你好起来之前，

我会在上个月的评论中写给大家，

我们要求你提交一个视频或

音频文件，用这种

语言介绍你自己或

用这种语言谈论你的国家，所以
