This report and other recent studies show that online learning, distance learning, and self-learning in general, are not only more convenient, but, in fact, more effective than the classroom, for high school, college and adult learners. In the last decade, the Internet, the MP3 player, the iPhone, and other mobile devices,as well as social networking sites, language exchange communities, online learning systems, university courses online and more, have changed how we deal with knowledge. The walls of academia, and the costs of learning, are crumbling before our eyes and ears.
本篇報道和其他近期研究都顯示普遍而言，網絡課程、遠程教育和自學比起傳統高中、大學和成人教育模式等，不僅更加方便、而且效率更高。在過去的十年當中，互聯網、mp3隨身聽、iPhone、其他便攜式設備以及網絡社區、網上教育課程、高校網絡教程等等都改變了我們學習知識的方式。高等教育的圍墻、大筆的學費都在我們眼前崩塌。
For those who are conditioned to think that learning only happens in a classroom, the world of self-learning can be a little daunting. How do we best take advantage these new opportunities.
對于那些認為學習只能在教室中進行的人而言，自學可能會嚇怕他們。那么我們怎么才能最好的利用自學這種新興的學習方法呢？下面以自學外語為例，為大家介紹一些小訣竅。
1. Get interested
第一步：對所學之物感興趣
Make no mistake. Your interest in the subject is the essential driver of success. You can't learn what you do not want to learn. Emotion is an important part of the learning process. If you are even moderately interested in a subject, give yourself a chance. The key is to get started. If you can create some pleasurable routines, you may find that the subject grows on you. “L’appetit vient en mangeant” (the appetite comes with eating) as they say in French.
可別搞錯了，興趣是成功學成某件事的根本要素！你不想學的東西當然學不會。在學習過程中保持熱情至關重要。所以如果你對某件事有些興趣，那就給自己一個學習的機會。關鍵是要“開始”！如果你能創造一些讓自己開心的學習模式，那么就能好好開始學習這門科目。就像他們在法語里說的那樣：吃著吃著就有胃口了！
很多同學因為看美劇或動漫而對英語、日語產生了強烈的興趣，這就是一個很棒的開始。如果你能抓住這個興趣，把興趣發展到語言學習中，你就不僅僅能得到看劇的快樂，更能為自己添加一種新的能力。不要擔心自己學不下來，總要給自己一個機會開始。
