有什麼方法學好英語

Generally speaking, Hong Kong people may encounter some common problems when learning English as a second language. I’m here to highlight just several of them to you and give you some suggestions.
Before going into details, I would like to emphasize that apart from ability and methods, the crucial factors for your success are your mindset (心態), determination and perseverance.
Do not expect to find shortcuts for learning English. All the elements you can think of about language learning are necessary --- vocabulary, sentence structure, tense, grammar rules, pronunciation, and so on. The difference is the priority or focus of learning you set for them. So, learn the scope of language that is most relevant to your study or job.
1) Tense
First of all, as Chinese language has not much to do with “Tense”, Hong Kong people are conceptually weak about the usage of “Tense”. In Chinese, we just make use of some specific wordings to tell people about the sequence of time.
e.g. 曾經/己經 (represents Present or Past Perfect Tense), 將會 (represents Future Tense), 正在 (represents Present Continuous Tense).

2) Conversational English and Accent
The second thing I’d like to say is, we are lacking a real-life English learning environment to practice conversational English. If you can make friends with foreigners, it is a good opportunity for you to improve your English. Otherwise, watching English TV programs or movies is the only way you can choose. With the aid of the Chinese subtitles (字幕), you can easily get an idea of what the program or movie is about while you are watching. Record your favourite programs or movies and watch them repeatedly until you can hear every single word of the script. Let’s look at what someone shared with us their own experience in their blog.

Learning is a life-long process; it should be regarded as a part of your life. Time is a necessary evil for learning but practice makes perfect (熟能生巧). This is a golden rule. It really works!!

3) Chinglish 港式英語
No matter how hard we try, our English may tend to be Chinglish as we are not native English speakers. Be aware of this and try to avoid it!!

A correct way of learning, without proper guidance, will not work as effectively. So, you’d better seek a good tutor and classroom learning unless you are proficient enough to master the basics of self-learning.

Self-learning methods

English and Chinese are two different languages. You’ve got to compare them to identify their similarities and differences before you can achieve better learning.

1) Etymology (詞源學)- Learn more about how words are coined in English (造字)

Some English words were formed by attaching prefix or suffix. http://www.macroevolution.net/suffix-prefix-dictionary.html
Some are compound words. E.g. The free service is available on a first-come-first-served basis.

2009-06-10 06:50:53 補充：
Some are Portmanteau. (= Blended words i.e. two existing words are blended to make a new word).

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-portmanteau-words.htm

E.g. breakfast + lunch = brunch; smoke + fog = smog; motor + hotel = motel; camera + recorder = camcorder; web + log = blog

2) How to make use of a dictionary?

When you look up a word in dictionary, try to learn more about it:

e.g. its different meanings, the related parts of speech…synonyms 同義字 and antonyms反義字 etc.

Learn to make sentences by referring to the examples given.

2009-06-10 06:52:48 補充：
3) Make sentences by relating the unfamiliar, newly- learnt words to the familiar people or things around you so that you can easily memorize those new words.

E.g. James is moody 情緖化, but he is always ready and pleased to help others. 樂於助人

4) Find several partners from among your friends or classmates and play word games with them. Make it more fun and develop more interest in it.

Have you ever come across this message in TV commercial? “Learning opportunities are everywhere, but are you ready for them?”
