Hello everyone, I am Bella.

Because Bella joined blogger Yan Xixi’s reading camp and received many books from the publishing house, she has more books to read this month.

But Bella didn't feel tired at all, and instead enjoyed the feeling of being immersed in the book.

There is a book that Bella particularly likes and wants to share it with everyone - "I Learned English by Myself in 100 Days to Turn My Life Around"

Why do you recommend this book? Readers who have been following Bella for a long time know that I have had the experience of learning English by myself for 4 years.

However, after learning English for so long, I cannot communicate freely with foreigners, and I am still mute in English.

This makes me very distressed and puzzled, and I really long for being able to speak fluently.

After reading this book, I finally found the reason why my spoken English has always been bad. And Bella thinks this is really a good book worth recommending.

Okay, let’s get down to business~ Now I will explain the essence of this book in three parts.

First, the author’s story

Second, the reason why oral English has not been improved

Third, the seven learning steps of 100LS

First, the author’s story

The author of this book is named Zhang Tongwan. He is a Korean. His English scores were last in high school and he almost gave up learning English. Later, because he wanted to speak fluent English, he went straight to a New Zealand language school to study, but it ended in failure.

Then I realized that I cannot rely solely on textbooks or cram schools. Only by "practical practice of listening and speaking" can I truly become proficient in English.

After continuous exploration, he finally discovered the 100LS training method, started speaking English within 6 months, and reached the level of interpretation within 1 year. Later, he learned French, Japanese and Chinese using the same method, and entered the French Department of Pusan ​​National University as a special admissions student.

With his excellent foreign language skills, he received a job offer with an annual salary of more than 2 million yuan in his 20s, truly turning his life around.

Second, the reason why oral English has not been improved

I wonder if there are any friends like Bella who only know a few simple spoken words without books. When seeing foreigners, their minds go blank and they don’t know which sentence of English to speak on certain occasions.

Sometimes even a few sentences in English pop out, but the other party cannot understand what you are saying at all.

But why do some people fail the English test but can speak fluent English?

This is because they put English into context to learn, rather than just learning for exams.

The English knowledge we learn in school is only suitable for examinations and will not involve English communication in certain situations.

is like us learning Chinese, why some people can still communicate on a daily basis even if they have not received much education.

This is the influence of the situation, as well as the influence from childhood to adulthood.

Foreign language is not a knowledge, but a communication tool. It is not necessary to know advanced professional terminology or complex grammatical knowledge to learn English well.

Instead, input a lot and practice outputting spoken English in certain situations, which is the 100LS learning method mentioned by the author in this book!

Third, the five learning steps of 100LS

Having said so much, what is the 100LS learning method?

"100": Listen and read a movie or series 100 times.

"L": Listen, emphasizing the training of ears. To learn a new language, there must be input first before there will be output.

"S": Speak, emphasizing the training of mouth speaking. Dumb English is a common problem in our learning of English. If we don't speak English, we can't really control it.

Learning steps:

① Step: Choose a movie or series you like and press the play button. Remember, when watching it for the first time, be sure to turn off all subtitles. And read it from beginning to end in one sitting.

Step 2: After completing the first step of watching without subtitles, please turn on Chinese subtitles and watch it a second time to confirm the parts you did not understand before.

Step 3: Change to English subtitles and copy down the fragments you don’t understand. During this step, if there is something unclear, you can skip it and continue reading;

But if you can't understand the content even when looking at the English subtitles, please press the pause button at this time, copy down the fragments you don't understand, find out their meaning, and understand their usage.

Step 4: Practice the unclear passages ten times, and read them immediately after listening. This is LS training on the fragments, completely digesting the parts you don’t understand into your own things.

If you can, please try to record yourself speaking English, this will double the effect. This training is to imitate the cadence, speed and tone of the actor's speech.

Step 5: Turn off all subtitles and watch the remaining 97 times. After the previous four steps, we have watched the English subtitles of the entire movie and completed various stages of listening and speaking exercises.

Congratulations on successfully climbing a mountain! Then, watch the movie without subtitles again. This time, you will find that the lines that you did not understand before have become clear. This is all because of the previous preview.

After watching it, do you think it is not that difficult? Even so, in real life, it is still very challenging for people to sit in front of a computer or TV for two full hours, repeating the same pattern and watching the same movie 97 times.

But as long as you persist through 100LS, you will be able to speak a foreign language with the confidence of your mother tongue even if you have never been abroad.

Because this is a learning method that emphasizes "skills" and does not rely on your eyes and hands to practice, let alone to cope with exams. It emphasizes the importance of situated learning, especially ear and mouth training.

The purpose of learning English is to use it as a communication tool and apply it to real life. Learning through original movies and TV series can help us become completely accustomed to the accent and speaking speed of native English speakers.

One thing to note here is that many people like to watch " Friends " when learning English, but this early sitcom has too many outdated terms that are no longer used today.

It is recommended to choose a recently popular drama or sitcom. The best type is a modern sitcom, in which unique characters interpret vignettes of daily life.

Recommended videos:

"We Bare Bears", " Powerpuff Girls ", "Adventure Time", " Monsters" "Christmas Town ", "Rick and Morty", "Steven Universe", "Day Job", " Modern Family ", etc.

Warm reminder: Do not watch the entire season episode by episode, but focus on a single episode for 100LS training.

After the life was turned around, the author lamented: "Since I have acquired the weapon of foreign language, my life has become completely different. My life is no longer restricted by a small space and limited opportunities. What greets me is a vast world called "the world"."

I hope we can all be on the road to our dreams, don’t hesitate and try boldly
