Discover Which Type Of English Learner You Are
弄清自己是什麼類型的學習者
When learning how to speak English you first need to find out what type of English learner you are. Ask yourself questions such as Why do I want to speak English? Do I need to speak English for my job? Do I want to speak English for travel and hobbies, or do I have something more serious in mind? find out.
學英語時你首先應認清自己是什麼類型的學習者。問問自己：為什麼我想學英語？我在工作上要用到英語嗎？我是為了旅遊或者愛好學英語嗎？我心裡是不是有一些更嚴肅認真的想法呢？
Understand Your Goals
瞭解你的目標
Once you know what type of English learner you are, you can begin to better understand your goals. Once you know your goals, you'll better understand what you need to do to speak English well. This is similar to understanding what type learner you are. Write down a list of the things you would like to do with your English. Would you like to speak English fluently in two years? Would you like to have enough English to travel and order food in a restaurant? Understanding exactly what you want to do with English will help you learn how to speak English because you will work towards your goals.
一旦你認清了自己是什麼類型的學習者，你可以更好地瞭解你的目標。一旦你明確了自己的目標，你會更清晰地知道要怎麼做才能把英語說得更好。這與瞭解自己的學習類型相似。列一張清單，寫明你都要英語來做什麼。你想要在兩年內說一口流利的恩英語？你想掌握足夠的英語單詞去旅行或者是點餐？明確你到底想用英語做什麼可以幫助你學習英語，因為你可以朝著自己的目標前進。
Find Out Your Level
認清自己的水平
Before you begin to learn how to speak English, you'll need to know where to begin. Taking a level test can help you understand what level you are at and then you can start using resources appropriate for your level in order to learn how to speak English well. Of course, you'll not only learn how to speak English, but also how to read, write and use English in a variety of settings. These quizzes will help you find your level. Start with the beginning level test and then move on. Stop when you get less than 60% and begin at that level.
在學英語之前，你應該瞭解從哪裡開始。做一個水平測試可以幫助你瞭解自己目前的階段。隨後你就可以利用適合現階段的資源學習如何將英語說的更好。當然，你不僅僅要學如何說英語，你還要學習不同場合下英文該如何讀、寫、用。這些測試可以幫助你認清自己的水平。從最基礎的測試開始，一步步加深難度，直到無法得到60分，就可以從這個階段學起。
Decide On Learning Strategy
確定學習策略
Now that you understand your English learning goals, style and level it's time to decide on an English learning strategy. The simple answer to the question of how to speak English is that you need to speak it as often as possible. Of course, it's more difficult than that. Start off by deciding which type of learning strategy you will take. Do you want to study alone? Do you want to take a class? How much time do you have to dedicate to English study? How much are you willing to pay to learn to speak English? Answer these questions and you will understand your strategy.
已經明白了自己的目標、類型和水平，就開始確定學習策略。要回答如何學會說英語，最簡切了當的答案就是儘可能多開口，當然，說起來容易做起來難。先從確定你要採用的學習策略開始。你想要自學？還是報班？願意花多少時間在英語學習上？願意花多少錢？回答這些問題你就能明白自己的策略。
