Три Больших Ошибки при Прослушивании Английского

Привет ребята, я Габби Вэлэйс и это Go Natural English Lesson

Hi guys, I'm Gabby Wallace and this is a Go Natural English Lesson.

Многие из вас писали и говорили мне

A lot of you have written to me and told me that your biggest challenge in English is

что ваша самая большая трудность это слушанье Английского

listening.

Я знаю это может быть трудным понять коренных англоговорящих людей

I know it can be difficult to understand native English speakers when we speak quickly.

когда мы разговариваем быстро

Поэтому я сделала это видео чтобы помочь вам

So I made this video to help you out.

Я хочу поделиться с вами тремя самыми большими ошибками

I want to share with you the three biggest mistakes that you may be making when you are

которые вы можете совершить пока слушаете английскую речь

listening to English.

Alright.

So let's get started with number one right here.

Хорошо. Итак давайте начнем с номера один, здесь

Слушать это не тоже самое что и читать

Listening is not the same as reading.

This may seem obvious but the way that we often learn English in school the way you

Это может показаться очевидно, но

способ по которому часто изучается английский в школах

способ по которому вы возможно изучали английский

may have learned English is with a focus on reading and writing for academic purposes.

это сфокусироваться на чтении и на письме в академических целях

Возможно в старшей школе вас заставляли читать на английском

Maybe in high school you had to read in English but maybe you didn't have as much listening

Но скорее всего вы не так много слушали на английском

practice in English or you didn't know how to approach listening.

Или в не знали как подойти к прослушиванию

Способ по которому работает наш мозг при чтении это визуальная память

The way our mind words is with reading we are visual learners.

Мы смотрим в текст на странице книги

We are looking at the text on a page in a book and we are associating the letters and

и мы сопоставляем буквы и слова

и эти формы, которые мы видим на картинке с буквами

the words and these shapes that we see on the page, which are letters, we associate

мы сопоставляем со значением

those with meaning.

Когда вы слушаете английский, это полностью другой процесс

When you listen to English it's a completely different process.

We hear sounds, words, phrases and we need to associate those sounds with meaning.

Мы слышим звуки, слова, фразы

и нам нужно сопоставлять эти звуки со значением

Это особенно сложно в английском, потому что

This is especially difficult in English because the way that we write words, the way that

we spell is crazy.

способ по которому мы пишем слова, способ которым мы обозначаем их безумный

It is just crazy.

We have silent letters, we have dipthongs, we have words that come from other languages

Просто сумасшедший

Мы имеем тихие буквы, мы имеем дифтонги

мы имеем слова которые пришли из других языков

and pronunciation varies widely.

So remember not to listen the same way that you read.

Okay.

Number two, translating.

It takes a lot of effort to translate.

Okay.

When you hear words in English do you automatically try to translate them into your native language?

You might do this because of course you are familiar with and comfortable with your native

language and you want to make sense of English you want to understand so you naturally try

to translate it into your first language so that you can understand what's going on.

But translating is actually a waste of time.

I'll tell you why.

You're putting a lot of effort into converting the meaning of a word into your native language

and then converting your thoughts back to English.

In that time you are not hearing the words that are being spoken while you're translating

and you're not able to focus on the person you are speaking with.

So your mind is wasting a lot of energy trying to translate the words that you hear in English

into your native language and then back to English so that you can add to the conversation.

Now another reason why you shouldn't translate is that when you get past basic words when

you get into phrases, idioms, metaphors and some cultural ideas or words that really only

exist in English they are difficult if not impossible to translate correctly in other

languages.

So I encourage you to listen and match what you hear with meaning, directly.

Cut out the middle man cut out the translator.

And number three the biggest mistake that you may be making is expecting to understand

100%.

Don't be a perfectionist.

It is impossible.

Even native speakers with good hearing do not catch 100% of what we hear.

It's normal.

Aim for 60-80% understanding of what you are listening to.

Stay calm, stay relaxed and it will become easier to listen to English and understand

what you're hearing.
