Philosophy behind the LangWeGo Method

LangWeGo 方法背后的理念

We believe you should learn to understand a new language before you try to speak it.

我们认为,在尝试说一门新语言之前,您应该学会理解它。

Speaking before you can understand is difficult. You lack both the intuition for the language’s grammar and the vocabulary to properly express yourself.

在你理解之前说话是很困难的。你既缺乏对语言语法的直觉,也缺乏正确表达自己的词汇。

Speaking after you can already understand is much easier. In the process of learning to understand the language, you build a natural instinct for how it’s supposed to sound, just like you did for your native language. Things will just "sound right" or "sound wrong” to your ears.

在你已经理解之后说话要容易得多。在学习理解语言的过程中,你会对它应该如何发音建立一种自然的本能,就像你对母语所做的那样。事情只会在你的耳朵里“听起来正确”或“听起来错误”。

How to understand a language

如何理解一门语言

It’s simple. You need comprehensible input — and a lot of it.

这很简单。你需要可理解的输入——而且很多。

Comprehensible input

易于理解的输入

Comprehensible input is any kind of media (TV shows, books, podcasts, etc.) that you can understand, even if you don’t know all the words and grammar involved.

可理解的输入是您可以理解的任何类型的媒体(电视节目、书籍、播客等),即使您不知道所涉及的所有单词和语法。

When you read or listen to comprehensible input, your brain builds an instinct for how the language works. If you start with easy comprehensible input and slowly increase the difficulty over time, you will eventually be able to understand native speakers — easily and instinctually.

当您阅读或聆听可理解的输入时,您的大脑会建立一种关于语言如何工作的本能。如果你从简单易懂的输入开始,随着时间的推移慢慢增加难度,你最终将能够理解母语人士——轻松而本能。

The issue for new learners is that they can’t find comprehensible input at the right level for them. Instructional materials are too easy, and media for native speakers is too hard.

新学习者的问题是他们无法找到适合他们的可理解的输入。教学材料太容易了,母语人士的媒体太难了。

To solve this problem, LangWeGo shows you how to use tools and techniques to make challenging media more comprehensible and enjoyable. In the beginning you’ll rely on these tools a lot, but eventually you’ll be able to understand difficult content without any support. With LangWeGo you can enjoy media created for native speakers starting from day 1.

为了解决这个问题,LangWeGo 向您展示了如何使用工具和技术使具有挑战性的媒体更易于理解和愉快。一开始,你会非常依赖这些工具,但最终你将能够在没有任何支持的情况下理解困难的内容。使用 LangWeGo,您可以从第 1 天开始享受为母语人士创建的媒体。

Spend a LOT of time with the language

花很多时间在语言上

Learning a language is a long process. It’s not enough to spend ten minutes a day or one day a week learning — you need to make a lifestyle change.

学习一门语言是一个漫长的过程。每天花十分钟或每周花一天时间学习是不够的——你需要改变生活方式。

LangWeGo teaches you how to integrate a new language into your life in a fun and sustainable way. For example, we help you convert your entertainment habits to your new language.

LangWeGo 教您如何以有趣和可持续的方式将一门新语言融入您的生活。例如,我们帮助您将娱乐习惯转换为新语言。
