I Taught Myself English in 100 Days and Turned My Life Around

I don't know if the method is effective, but I am willing to train myself from this moment on, hoping it will be effective. Regardless of the outcome, I would like to thank the author for his willingness to share his successful experience, thank you.

After reading it, reading can really broaden my horizons. It was the first time that I learned that this method can be used to learn English. The author's emotional and rational examples made me more excited. I couldn't help but imagine myself speaking fluent English. I will try my best and hope that I can succeed.

The focus is on Chapter 3.4. Most of Chapter 1.2.5 Tells stories. If you have time, you can read the application and appendices. If you are pressed for time, it is recommended to start learning after reading Chapter 3.4. 29.40% Have a comment that summarizes several rules of Chapter 3.

The method in the book is in line with the method proposed in the book "Deliberate Practice", which involves setting goals, breaking them down, practicing, and practicing repeatedly in a short period of time. This is a book that helps people find their self-confidence. Worth having.

Wow, it's a good book about action. I'm going to start taking action. Let's talk about his skills. 1. Find an English movie that you like to watch. The first time is to cover the subtitles and watch the plot, the second time is to read the Chinese subtitles, and the third time is to read the English subtitles, then copy down the subtitles or words that you don't understand, read them to the movie 100 times, or listen to it 100 times at the same time, then you have learned this skill. 2. After the first stage, you can learn TED speech, so that you can have in-depth communication with foreigners. 3. The above skills are mainly used to practice and apply in actual situations, so after the first movie, you can find foreign friends to practice and consolidate your foundation. This stage cannot be skipped. I have been learning English since junior high school for almost 20 years, but I still haven't learned it well. This time I read the method recommended by the author of this book, and I was enlightened. In fact, learning English is not that difficult. If you practice it as your mother tongue and recall how to practice Chinese, you can learn English well. Secondly, I also want to learn Japanese. I hope to be fluent in Japanese. Wish me success.

After finishing reading, I just watched an episode of an American TV series without subtitles. I felt that the pronunciation was unclear, and I could understand about a third of it. Now I am watching it for the second time, with Chinese subtitles turned on, and my pronunciation became clearer instantly. I can almost hear all the words [face covering] Sure enough, I am used to watching subtitles. No matter whether it is Chinese or English, my ears are automatically castrated without subtitles [laughing and crying]

It's pretty good. I finally found out why I couldn't learn English well and didn't dare to communicate with foreigners for so many years. I will practice hard next time.

Search the app store to learn English by watching movies. It is a red icon. It divides English movies into TV series and plays them one by one. The upper screen plays the video, and the lower half of the screen shows English lines. Each movie has no subtitles, Chinese and English subtitles, and pure English subtitles. You can also adjust the sound speed. This is the best one I've found so far.

This book gave me a new understanding of English learning, and the author repeatedly emphasized his own English learning process, which also verified my assumptions about self-motivation. Before talking about the specific gains, I would like to explain that the author's self-reported family background is ordinary, but in fact it is not ordinary. At the bottom line, he can be considered a small middle class. My mother makes a living by running a flower shop. This fixed asset alone is more than that of many people. What's more, the peers around the author have the ability and confidence to prepare for recruitment by large companies and schools. The author himself can also know the news and participate in diplomatic situations as volunteers. That is to say, even if the author does not know English in the end, his life will not be so miserable - compared with those of his peers who are not from famous families, not from famous schools, not from famous companies, have no resources, no talents, and no specialties, the author's state of self-disgrace at that time was already much greater - if it doesn't work out, he can still be forced to go back and inherit the family business. As auxiliary arguments are the author's way of thinking and execution. The first diplomatic offer the author received was not only his fluent foreign language, but also his ability to read the atmosphere and guide it. This ability is not something that an ordinary working-class family from a small town can do by participating in social activities. It requires family atmosphere and guidance, trial and error and review of social activities as support. It is difficult for ordinary working-class families to cultivate such children. Secondly, there is no time and money. The main reason is that they do not know how to educate and guide children. The author was also very shy and introverted when she was a child. When customers came to the store, she would hug her mother's legs behind her. The author's transformation from shy and introverted to daring to steal flowers from shops and set up a stall on the street was indispensable to his mother's guidance and timely affirmation of encouragement. How many mothers can do this kind of thing that only appears in children's picture books? How many people are willing to spend time, money and energy to do this? How many people have the time, money and energy to do it? To sum up, I don't think that the author's family is really ordinary, but that it is relatively ordinary compared to the families of his peers around him. Secondly, the author verified my assumption of self-motivation - self-discipline and success science are commercial concepts marketed. Real self-discipline comes from desperate situations and from human greed, fear and laziness. The author's ability to break through his own limitations is not only due to his vivid brain, daring to think and do, but also to the fact that he is forced into a desperate situation. The author wanted to learn English well in a foreign language environment, and then started stealing flowers from the store and selling them on the street for three months to save money. This was a dare to think, dare to do, and persevere. After going abroad, the author lived in a host family and attended a language school, but found that his language had not improved. However, after meeting a Korean pastor who was fluent in English by chance, he decided after several conversations that the pastor had a unique know-how, so he helped the pastor for three months in a row, just to obtain this know-how. This is flexibility, seizing opportunities, and mutual exchange. After the author got the 100LS English learning tips, he started his own time. It didn't take long before he wanted to give up. However, the sunk costs he had paid before and the desperate situation finally forced him to complete 100LS and achieve a leap in English ability. Even though the author has a lively mind, dares to think and act, and is mutually beneficial, but he is not forced to a desperate situation, he will at most go home and kneel down to cry with his mother. It is precisely because after being forced into a desperate situation, he has no other choice but to go all the way to the dark side and then come out again. Finally, there is the 100LS language learning method mentioned in the book. The book emphasizes that English learned with eyes and hands is dead, while English learned with ears and mouth is alive. When I saw this, I suddenly thought of Richard Dawkins' meme theory. When we learn a systematic cultural knowledge, can't we think of it as encircling, devouring and digesting the meme prey at the conscious level? You can learn the logic of hunting with your eyes and hands, and you can execute it with your ears and mouth. Learning a systematic cultural knowledge is tantamount to completing the transition from primitive society to industry at the level of consciousness. The process of learning is the process of hunting. We spend twelve decades hunting the prey of consciousness that has been enslaved and domesticated for thousands of years. The process of use is the process of leap forward. In our continuous use, the original prey of consciousness is constantly being processed into modern daily necessities.

Thoughts on the evening of August 10, 2024 I spent a day reading this book today and summarized the methods proposed by the author. I will practice them next; The number of words I tested on the software is about 3,000, but the deepest feeling when watching movies and TV dramas is this word. I can recognize it with subtitles, but I can't understand it without looking at the subtitles 😂 I feel that many people may feel this way; the most important thing is that I can't form a complete sentence when I open my mouth, and I can't hold it in for a long time every time I think about it. Next, I will follow the author's method, choose the videos I like to watch, and listen to and read them over and over again. Report results on November 11, 2024! ! !

This book provides a relatively comprehensive explanation of practical spoken English, mainly for students with barriers to communication and language expression, as well as learning methods to help students who have stagnated in language learning get out of their predicament.

I read this book in May and was so excited that I started trying it before I finished it. The first movie I chose was a complete failure. After watching it for a month or two, the lines were too convoluted and my pronunciation was always difficult to follow. I became less and less confident, and my study time gradually became less and less. I finally gave up on the movie decisively after learning about a third of the movie. . I re-selected a movie at the end of August, and now it's the 25th time. I'm looking forward to the day when I watch it for the 100th time. I plan to use the same method to try Japanese in the future.

This book is very practical, with the focus starting from page 267. After reading it, I became more motivated to learn.

The focus is on Chapter 3. The main thing is to first find a movie you like, and then the first three times are without subtitles, noon subtitles, and English subtitles. At the same time, you also have to write down unfamiliar expressions, and listen and read them at the same time. Finally, you complete 97 times of listening and reading without subtitles. In fact, this is also very common in short videos. I have recently consciously followed a few accounts on Kuaishou, and they have this form. However, this book is more systematic and theoretical, so I am going to practice it. [Working on draft]

I gave it a try. I watched a total of six seasons of Young Sheldon. I watched them all at once. I didn't use any skills, just watching them. I think this method is right. I read it again, and there are some sentences and words that I know what they mean after listening to them, and I can react quickly. Also, the pronunciation of some memorized words and sentences is not very pure, but at least it is standard. Now I plan to watch it a second time, and then I will give you feedback over and over again until I watch it 100 times.

How to learn English and how to use English to help your life. This is a novel that helps us answer the above questions. Learning a foreign language plays an important role in helping us grow as individuals. The author describes his own English learning process and personal growth experience in plain and clear language. The author combines his views with cases, and explains to us the methods of learning a second foreign language with refined views and detailed cases. After reading this book, I believe your English learning ability will be greatly improved.

Yes, good book and good method! It's just a bit verbose.

Thanks to the author, hope has been rekindled now. Although a lot of the content that is not about methods is equivalent to nonsense, it has played a very important role in encouraging me. Don't hesitate, it's important to start.

Listen 100 times + speak 100 times = 100 points for "native language"

It's very practical. What's a bit difficult is that few software can turn off subtitles, but the biggest difficulty is to persevere for 100 days, so I decided to watch 10 days of TED first to improve my listening skills [I learned it] I want to know why I can't access the TED website? , And I can't find the videos mentioned in the article. Has anyone found the videos? Can you tell me how to do it?

It's very pertinent and practical. After reading it, I feel more confident and empowered, and I want to put it into practice immediately! So well written!

I have to check in, and I have to check in every day, and I practice it while reading this book. My English is somewhat basic, but not much, and I can speak to myself in a stuttering manner. Today is my second day. I clocked in and my heart was pounding. Now it is my third time. I have learned 19 minutes. I have a vocabulary of about 5,000 words, but I still took notes on four pages of A4 paper in ten minutes. There is so much to learn! ! But today I surprisingly discovered that I can speak some lines calmly and at a faster speed. I feel that I have made great progress! ! ! Come check in tomorrow! Today is the third day, and I have learned the heart-pounding 36th minute. I feel like I can complete the third one in a few days. The biggest feeling today is: "The following words are really long and difficult to pronounce." But if you persevere, you will find that when you jump to the next sentence, you can read it smoothly. When I went to English class today to read an article I had never read before, I felt that my pronunciation and sentence segmentation were better than before, and I didn't have to take several breaths to read a sentence like before. I will always insist on it! ! !

I am very surprised and lucky to see such a book. It shines in like a ray of light and gives me hope. I haven't started yet. But I think these methods are very feasible and I like them very much

Only by understanding this idea and getting rid of past mistakes and inefficient learning methods can we truly learn a foreign language well. If you are at a point where you want to learn a foreign language but are troubled and confused alone, this book is your best choice.
