I want to share the experience of learning English after reading
English for losers
What happened
')
1. studying English at school (I did not know after graduation)
2. After school, learning English with a tutor once a week for 1 hour (I understand the basics)
3. 4 years of English at the university with a good teacher (translation
technical texts)
As a result, he could read technical texts almost without a dictionary. Colloquial speech is not understood.
What came to
Began to understand oral speech
How to come to this
After reading the article "English for losers" began to watch the animated series "South Park". At first I watched the series in Russian, then in English with subtitles one series every day. Until season 9, the English language was like a fog. When watching one episode of season 9, I realized that I began to understand what they were talking about! It happened right away. Now words and phrases are not translated into Russian to understand what was said in my head. For the study I think I have helped the articles of
Ilya Frank . It seems to be a simple truth, but unfortunately I understood only recently. We do not need English, but read an article or a conference to listen to some light from the IT field.
If I wonder how much time it took for me, then we can say 0 hours! Although I reviewed almost 100 episodes in Russian and English, I did this while sitting at a computer at lunch.
An important nuance. I began to understand English after I turned off the subtitles. When there are subtitles they take a lot of attention, and the speech is not as well perceived as without subtitles.
Do not kick hard for someone this and have long known truths.
The goal of the article was to share experience, to confirm that the method described by
korsakov works, does not require much time and effort. I enjoyed and enjoy watching
South Park
If you do not understand oral speech, start watching movies right now.
