Learn a language-you need to know
學習語言必備
Ignore the myths:age is just a number
無視那些迷思:年齡只是數字
You are a monolingual adult: have you missed the language boat? Ralby argues "a key language myth is that it's harder as an adult".
你是一個只會一種語言的成年人:那么你是否已經錯過了學習一門新語言的時機了呢?羅爾比說“關于語言學習的一個重要的迷思就是,成年更難學會新語言。”
Adults and children may learn in different waysbut that shouldn't deter you from committing to learning another language.
成年人和兒童可能在學習的方法上不一致,但這并不應該成為阻礙你學習另一門語言的障礙。
"Languages are simultaneously organic and systematic. As children we learn languages organically and instinctively; asadults we can learn them systematically."
“語言是有機和系統的。兒童學習語言的方法是有機和直覺的:而成年人學習語言是系統的。”
If you're still not convinced of your chances,Ralby suggests drawing inspiration from early philologists and founders of linguistics who "learned dozens of languages to encyclopaedic levels asadults".
若你還對此觀點抱有疑惑,拉爾比建議從古代哲學家和語言學創始人身上尋找啟示,“這些博學者都是在成年的時候學會眾多語言的。”
