別再死背單字！(Don't Study) | 像嬰兒一樣學英文 (Part 1) | 自然習得法 (Natural Method) | 慢速英語聽力

[sighs] Hello my friends. Welcome back

to Let's Show English. I have a secret to tell you. Come closer.

You have been lied to.

For years, schools told you that learning English is hard. They told you that you need thick books. They told you

that you need to memorize grammar rules, subject, verb, object, past perfect tense, subjunctive mood.

It makes your head hurt, doesn't it? It

makes you feel tired. It makes you feel old.

But think about this. When you were a baby, did you study grammar? When you

were two years old, sitting on the floor playing with your toys, did you have a dictionary?

No, you just listened. You watched your mother's face. You watched your father's

mother's face. You watched your father's hands. You heard sounds. And one day,

hands. You heard sounds. And one day, magic happened. You started to speak

magic happened. You started to speak naturally effortlessly without fear.

Today we are going to build a time machine. We are going to go back. We are

machine. We are going to go back. We are

going to delete the adult part of your brain. The part that worries, the part

brain. The part that worries, the part that translates.

We are going to wake up the child part of your brain. The part that absorbs, the part that plays.

This is part one of our new series, Learn Like a Child. We will not talk about business. We will not talk about

about business. We will not talk about politics.

We will talk about the world as a baby sees it. Simple, bright,

sees it. Simple, bright, real.

Before we enter the time machine, I need to know who is coming with me. Where are

you right now? Are you sitting in a high-rise building in Shanghai?

Are you relaxing in a countryside house in France?

Are you taking a break in busy Mumbai?

Or are you watching the sunset in California?

Please tell me in the comments. I love

to see where my family is.

Now, take a deep breath. [snorts]

Empty your mind and let it out.

Forget your native language. Forget your

stress.

Are you ready to be born again in English?

Let's schwool English.

Chapter 1. The first sounds. Yes and no.

Imagine you are very small. You are

sitting in a high chair. You cannot

speak yet, but you understand feeling.

You understand what you want and what you do not want.

The first two words a child learns are the most powerful. [snorts] They control the world.

Yes.

Feel this word. Nod your head up and down. It means acceptance.

down. It means acceptance.

It means I want this. It is a positive sound like a door opening. Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Please.

No. Shake your head side to side. It

means rejection.

It means stop. It means I do not want this. It is a strong sound like a door

this. It is a strong sound like a door closing.

No. No.

No, thank you.

A child does not say I would prefer not to participate.

A child says no. Be simple. Be direct.

English does not need to be complicated.

Chapter 2. The body. This is me.

Now look at yourself.

A baby discovers their own body first.

They look at their hands. They wiggle

their toes. They realize this is me.

Shuttertock explore.

We will learn the map of you. Touch the

part when I say it. Face.

This is who you are. Your face.

my voice. Ear.

Hand. Look at your hand. Open your

fingers. Close your fingers. Hand.

Foot. Look down. Wiggle your toes. You

walk on this foot.

This is how a child learns. Not by

reading the word hand in a book, but by moving the hand, connecting the word to the movement.

This is my nose. This is my hand. This

is me.

Chapter 3. Hunger. I want.

What is the strongest feeling for a baby? Hunger. When your stomach is

baby? Hunger. When your stomach is empty, you need to speak. You need to ask. A child does not say, "Could I

ask. A child does not say, "Could I possibly have a beverage?"

A child points and a child names the object.

Milk. White. Warm. Comforting.

Imagine the taste of warm milk.

Milk. Water. Clear. Cool. Refreshing.

Apple. Red, crunchy,

sweet.

Imagine biting into an apple.

Apple. Banana.

When a child wants these things, they use a magic phrase. I want. It is the

bridge between you and the object.

I want milk. I want water. I want a cookie.

Feel the hunger in the words. Do not

just say them, mean them.

Chapter 4. The family, my people.

Who is in your world? For a child, the world is very small. It is just the

people who love them. Mama, mother, mom, the source of life, the warm hug, the soft voice.

the room. A baby loves colors. Bright

is calm. It makes you feel peaceful.

nature.

Orange.

Like the fruit, like a sunset.

A child points at things and names the color. They do not care about the

color. They do not care about the object's name yet. They care about how

it looks. Look, blue. Look red.

it looks. Look, blue. Look red.

The sky is blue. The apple is red. The

sun is yellow. The grass is green.

Chapter 6. Hot and cold. Feeling.

We have seen. We have tasted. Now we

must feel.

The skin knows the truth before the brain does. Hot. Don't touch the stove,

A child learns by touching. They touch

the cat. Soft.

Conclusion.

You are growing.

[sighs and gasps] My dear friends, we have finished part one.

Look at what you did today. You did not memorize a grammar book. You did not stress about tests.

You lived.

You touched your face. You felt hunger.

You saw colors. You felt hot and cold.

You moved up and down. You counted your fingers.

This is how you build a language brain.

Not by studying, but by experiencing.

You are planting seeds.

Right now they are small just apple cat blue.

But soon they will grow. They will

become sentences.

They will become stories.

They will become your voice.

Be patient with yourself. A child takes two years to speak fluently.

Give yourself time.

Enjoy the play. Enjoy the discovery.

Thank you for being a child with me today. It is beautiful to see the world

today. It is beautiful to see the world through fresh eyes.

I am Gia. This is Let's Shaw English.

Stay curious. Stay playful.

See you in the next video. Goodbye.
