Let's Crazy English

Have you ever heard Crazy English? Did you know someone had such a great matter in learning English just like you? I have to admit that I'm still in difficulties. But I remember once I made much progress when practiced the method of Crazy English.

The famous method of Crazy English is the "three-ly method"--practicing as loudly as possible, as quickly as possible, and as clearly as possible. Doing this has many benefits, such as reciting something loudly enough to hear it by oneself is helpful to one's remember system and to encourage one's confidence. Reading as quickly as possible will become a habit of thinking quickly and speaking quickly as an automatic reflex. Besides, practicing as clear as possible make one speaking like a native speaker and easy to be understood. Three-ly method is about express oneself in fluent eloquent English with confidence. It's a easy way to make conversation with native speakers easily.

So I'll start with the beginning of crazy English now--Let's practice English as loudly as possible, as quickly as possible, and as clearly as possible.

第一焦点:句子就是一切!句子就是财富!

    克立兹提倡的英语学习单位是句子,句子简单明确,容易掌握,并马上可以用于交流!感觉棒极了!味道好极了!

    可悲的现实:从初中学英语到现在,辛辛苦苦学习了上百课精读,但结局如何?大家心里最清楚:学精读、分析课文的时候清清楚楚,充满成就感,好象是学到了很 多知识、很多单词、很多语法、很多"语言点",但在实际应用的时候却模模糊糊,似是而非,几乎说不出几个正确的句子!几乎全部还给了课本!

    强烈的呼吁:学习精读的时候,一定要把课文中实用的句子总结出来,并脱口而出!这才是真正的学习语言!

    冲天的信心:学习英语没有什么了不起!你的征服对象不过是一句话,最多也就是一、两条语法,十来个单词!任何人都可以学好英语!

    疯狂的成就:从小学四年级开始学英文,如果每天脱口而出五句话,到上初中时,就已经可以脱口而出五千五百多句话,举一反三就可以拥有近两万个实用句子,两 万笔英语财富,早已达成自由交流的境界!一个初一学生的英语能力将远远超过一个大学生,因为绝大多数苦读十年的人只会说:My English is poor!

    1、 A: How are you doing?(最地道的打招呼用语)
          B: I'm doing great.
    2、 I hope you're enjoying your stay here.
    3、 You have my word.(向你保证)
    4、 I think exactly the same way.
    5、 Tell me all about your troubles.
    6、 It is never too late to learn.

    第二焦点:三最口腔肌肉训练法!

    学习外语就是训练口腔肌肉,使之轻松地发出陌生的外国声音,变以成灵活的国际肌肉;学习外语就是苦练脱口而出!只有这样才是真正地拥有语言!克立兹独创的"三最"口腔肌肉训练法将复杂、冷酷的外语学习变成了简单刺激的游戏!

    做法:用最大声、最清晰、最快速的办法反复操练句子或小短文直至脱口而出。每次记录时间,争取打破上次成绩,也可互相比赛。

    English has become an international language. Wherever you go , English is always commonly used. It is convenient to know the language.

    第三焦点:一口气训练法!

    这个方法主要训练你说英语的底气。做法很简单,你只需要深呼吸,然后在一口气里尽量多读。经过一段时间的训练,原来需要换几次气的短文,一口气就能轻松读完!

    第四焦点:五大发音要点!
(详见前文"美国味"英语五大发音要点)

    李阳·克立兹将复杂的语音规则总结成五大发音要点,使一般人都能迅速掌握。它们是:长元音双元音饱满;短元音急促;连音;略音和咬舌头。

    下面举几个例子:

    1、 I don't-know what-to do.(两个辅音连接,只读后一个)
    2、 I'm working on-it.(连音)
    3、 Ask-Bob-to sit-behind-me.(略音)

    5、 A:What are you planning to do? B: I'm hoping to go to China.
    6、 Neither father nor mother likes this weather.(咬五次舌头)

    第五焦点:口语突破语法!

    语法是中国人最头疼的一个问题。李阳·克立兹的解决办法是:一句话突破一条语法!英语中难的语法不过几十条,也就是说,只需要脱口而出几十句话就可以基本 上掌握英语语法的精华,而且能脱口而出,活学活用,举一反三!没有用的语法暂时不要学,系统全面地学习语法只会系统全面地忘记,而且非常辛苦,因为人脑不 是电脑。

    1、 if she could help you ,she would help you.(如果她能帮你,她一定会的)
    2、 John stopped studying. =John is not going to study anymore.
    3、 John stopped to study. =John stopped doing sth. In order to study.

    5、 He has gone to America.(他去了美国。)(表示结果持续至今)
    6、 He has been to America.(他曾去过美国。)(至示曾经有过的经验)
    7、 He has lived here for a year.(表示持续到现在的行为)
    8、 I enjoyed the movie very much. I wish I had read the book from which it was made.
    (电影不错,我希望我读过原著)(选自国外权威考试)
    语法:wish+主语+过去完成时=愿望之事在wish以前发生。
    特别提醒:一定要用地道关用的句子来学习语法,这亲学习才能和语法建立深厚的感情,才能充满交流的渴望,才能一鸣惊人!

    1、 I sometimes stay up till midnight.(一般现在时)
    2、 She's always helping people.(现在进行时)
    3、 He is going to change his job.(一般将来时)

    第六焦点:口语突破单词!

    坚决反对孤立地记忆单词!克立兹倡导用实用的句子记忆单词,只有这样才有意义,才能真正地建立感情,地久天长!请记住:人是用句子进行交流的!

    2、 The President is going to address(发表演讲)the nation on television this evening.

    你一定能听懂你能说出的东西!你只管去大量地练习说,只要发音纯正、用法地道,你的听力自然突破!而且采用的是超级三最法。比外国人说得还快,难道还怕听不懂吗?
