学习一门新语言是一项既充满挑战又充满乐趣的任务。如何更有效地掌握一门语言，本文作者分享了一些实用的方法和技巧。

Not everyone has the chance to take language classes. But that doesn’t mean you have to be stuck with language learning apps. Keeping going is key to unlocking the door of mastery. No matter which method you choose, it’s important to revisit the language you are learning every day, even if it’s just for 15 minutes. The following are some creative ways to help you with a new language.

并不是每个人都有机会上语言课。但这并不意味着你必须拘泥于语言学习应用程序。坚持下去是开启精通之门的关键。无论你选择哪种方法，每天都要重新审视你正在学习的语言，即使只是15分钟。以下是一些创造性的方法来帮助你掌握一门新语言。

One of the most common advice is to enjoy films and shows in the language you are learning. To be exact, watch children’s cartoons. There are often basic phrases and words in these cartoons. Plus, cartoons usually come with clearer and slower pronunciation.

最常见的建议之一是用你正在学习的语言欣赏电影和节目。确切地说，看儿童动画片。这些漫画中经常有一些基本的短语和单词。此外，动画片通常发音更清晰、更慢。

If watching cartoons is not your cup of tea, you can listen to podcasts (播客) and songs in the language you are trying to master. By doing so, you can pick up idioms, explore various topics to increase your vocabulary, and understand small differences between words.

如果你不喜欢看动画片，你可以用你想要掌握的语言听播客和歌曲。通过这样做，你可以学习成语，探索各种话题来增加词汇量，并理解单词之间的微小差异。

When practising speaking, you might be afraid of making mistakes when trying to practise in public or with a native speaker. So, instead, start small. Speak to your pet or an object around the house. Tell them about your day or describe how you feel. The goal is to get used to sounding the letters and getting the words out. As you grow more confident, work up to the waiters at an authentic (真正的) Chinese restaurant (or whatever language you may be working on) or a native speaker.

练习口语时，你可能害怕在公共场合或与母语为英语的人练习时出错。所以，相反，从小处着手。和你的宠物或房子周围的物体说话。告诉他们你的一天或描述你的感受。这样做的目的是要习惯读字母并把单词念出来。当你变得更加自信时，可以在正宗的中餐馆或以英语为母语的餐馆里做服务员工作。

As for writing, one useful method is to keep a pen friend. Ideally, find someone who is fluent (流利的) in the language you are learning. Through the letters, you get to practise your writing skills.

至于写作，一个有用的方法是交一个笔友。理想情况下，找一个能流利使用你正在学习的语言的人。通过这些信件，你可以练习你的写作技巧。
