透過故事學習葡萄牙語

學習葡萄牙語並不需要很無聊。如果您不喜歡透過教科書或坐在教室裡學習語言,還有其他方法可以實現。

今天,我想討論透過閱讀故事學習語言的好處。此外,我將建議一些最佳實踐來幫助您充分利用它。請繼續閱讀。

語法的危險

我發現大多數語法過度的學生在現實生活中嘗試說葡萄牙語時表現不佳。

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.

透過故事學習 

當我們使用我們能夠理解並與之產生聯繫的令人信服的材料進行練習時,我們才能最好地學習外語。 

如果我們的學習材料引人入勝且令人愉快,那麼它們就會變得輕鬆且令人愉快地吸收。這自然會導致對更多的渴望,從而導致大量接觸我們的目標語言。

現在,只要它們是為語言學習者充分設計的,故事就不僅僅是任何輸入。它們反映了日常語言的使用情況,並培養了您對葡萄牙語的地道感覺。但還有更多。

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.

直觀地學習語法是可以實現且有益的。它讓您可以完美地說話,而無需不斷考慮語法規則,從而使對話更加順暢。

最後,在上下文中學習新單字可以大大提高它們的記憶力。將單字與角色、情感、情境或地點連結起來,而不是孤立的定義,可以增強我們以後記住它們的能力。

找到你的最佳位置

正如已經指出的,當您使用引人入勝且實用的材料時,學習語言會更加有效和愉快。

然而,直接跳入何塞·薩拉馬戈(José Saramago)或克拉麗斯·李斯佩克特(Clarice Lispector)等作家的複雜作品可能不是最現實和可持續的開始方式。相反,尋找專門為語言學習者設計的資源。

這些資源通常按 CEFR框架,反映了不同的熟練程度。作為初學者,選擇章節短、句子簡單、段落清晰的A1-A2級別的書籍。隨著您的語言技能的發展,請選擇 A2-B1 範圍內的材料。等等。

關鍵是找到一個平衡點:你的閱讀材料應該挑戰你並幫助你提高,但它不應該太難,以免剝奪樂趣並讓你放棄。

如果太簡單,你就不會學到很多。尋找更具挑戰性的事情。另一方面,如果你經常需要一本字典,那會讓人精神疲憊,你很可能會放棄這本書。選擇更易於管理的東西。

換句話說,透過閱讀進行有效的語言學習需要找到野心和享受之間的最佳平衡。 CEFR 分級將協助您找到適合您目前等級的材料。
