通过故事学习葡萄牙语

学习葡萄牙语并不枯燥乏味。如果您不喜欢通过课本或坐在教室里学习语言,还有其他方法可以学习。

今天,我想讨论通过阅读故事学习语言的好处。此外,我将建议一些最佳实践,以帮助您充分利用它。请继续阅读。

语法的危险

我发现大多数语法过度的学生在现实生活中尝试说葡萄牙语时表现不佳。

There’s something insidious about studying grammar. It may give us an illusory sense of progress and control as we analyze our target language and make sense of the rules that govern it. Yet, learning habits that rely too heavily on grammar may do more harm than good.

See, too much emphasis on grammar makes us overly self-conscious and worried about grammar correctness. We easily get caught up in our minds grammar-checking everything as we try to string words together into sentences. This leads to an overworked brain that will prevent us from speaking more fluently.

Becoming fluent in a foreign language entails more than just mastering a set of abstract rules. We need to allow the language to sink deeper into us and that’s where in-context learning materials like stories come into play.

通过故事学习 

当我们使用能够理解并联系到的引人入胜的材料进行练习时,我们可以最好地学习外语。 

如果我们的学习材料有趣又引人入胜,那么学习起来就会轻松愉快。这自然会激发我们学习更多知识的欲望,从而大大提高我们对目标语言的接触。

现在,只要故事是为语言学习者精心设计的,它们就不仅仅是一种输入了。它们反映了日常语言的使用,可以培养您对葡萄牙语的惯用感觉。但还有更多。

When we read stories we are also learning grammar! Not in the conventional sense though. Instead, we are effortlessly assimilating syntactic structures that govern our target language. The more we do it, the deeper these structures will sink in us.

直观地学习语法是可以实现的,而且很有益。它能让你说话流利,而不用一直思考语法规则,从而使对话更顺畅。

最后,在上下文中学习新单词可以大大提高其记忆力。与孤立的定义相比,将单词与人物、感受、情况或地点联系起来可以增强我们日后记住它们的能力。

找到你的最佳平衡点

正如已经指出的,使用引人入胜且实用的材料来学习语言会更有效、更有趣。

然而,直接阅读若泽·萨拉马戈或克拉丽丝·李斯佩克托等作家的复杂作品可能不是最现实和可持续的开始方式。相反,寻找专门为语言学习者设计的资源。

这些资源通常按 CEFR 框架,反映不同的熟练程度。作为初学者,选择章节短、句子简单、段落清晰的 A1-A2 级书籍。随着语言技能的发展,选择 A2-B1 范围内的材料。依此类推。

关键是找到一个平衡点:你的阅读材料应该对你有所挑战并帮助你提高,但它不应该太难以至于失去乐趣并让你放弃。

如果太简单,你学不到什么。找一些更有挑战性的东西。另一方面,如果你总是需要一本字典,那会很累,你很可能会放弃这本书。选择一些更容易管理的东西。

换句话说,通过阅读有效地学习语言需要找到目标和乐趣之间的最佳平衡点。CEFR 评分将帮助您找到适合您当前水平的材料。
