How to learn a new language

學習新語言的方式

Study content, not the language

學習語言內容，而非語言本身。

Although most language learning classes and progams focus on purely learning the language, a study of high school students studying French found that when they studied another subject taught in French instead of a class purely to teach French, the students tested better for listening and were more motivated to learn. Students in the standard French class scored better on reading and writing tests, so both methods clearly have merit.

盡管多數語言教學課程重點強調單純學習語言本身，但一項有關高中生學法語的研究發現，如果學生學習某個用法語教學的課程，而非單純的法語課，那么學生的法語聽力成績更出色，而且學生也更有動力去學。不過，標準法語班的學生在閱讀和寫作上的成績更高。顯然，兩種方法各具優勢吧。

Once you've mastered the basics of a new language, try including some content on a topic you're interested in to improve your understanding.

當你掌握某個語言的基本知識后，請嘗試了解自己關心的話題內容，這樣可以提高理解能力。

You could have conversations with friends learning the same language, read articles online or listen to a podcast to test your comprehension.

你可以跟學這門語言的同伴交談，閱讀網絡文章，或者通過聽播客來測試自己的理解力。
