How can you stop sounding like a textbook and start sounding like a native speaker?

如何才能讓你講話聽起來不再像教科書，而是像母語者一樣呢？

Let's talk about it.

讓我們來討論這個問題。

Welcome to tip number 5 in the series, "Six tips for Speaking Natural English"

歡迎來到《說出道地英語的六個技巧》系列中的第五個技巧。

Tip number 5 is: get feedback as you're speaking.

第五個技巧是在你講話的同時得到反饋。

This is the most personalized way to realize which textbook expressions you're using, so that you can use natural ones instead.

這是最客製化的方式，可以意識到你正在使用課本上的哪種表達方式，從而知道你可以怎麼用更道地的方式來表達。

When you have someone tell you instantly, "Hey, that expression isn't really something that native speakers use, you should use this instead," you'll realize, 'Oh okay, I know that I often use this kind of textbook expression, so I'm going to use this expression that you suggested instead."

當有人立刻告訴你：「嘿，這種講法其實不是母語者會使用的，你應該講這個，」這時你會意識到，「好喔，我知道我經常使用這種教科書上的表達方式，那我之後打算改用你建議的這種講法。」

So, getting feedback is a great way to get instant knowledge about what you use and what you should be using.

所以，獲得反饋是一個很好的方式，可以立刻知道你是怎麼表達還有你應該要怎麼表達。

How can you get instant feedback on your English speaking to know which textbook expressions you use and which natural expressions you should use instead?

那要如何才能獲得關於你講英文時的即時反饋來知道你使用了哪些教科書上的表達方式，以及你應該怎麼自然地表達呢？

Well, you can go online and find an English teacher; you can go to a local meetup group.

其實呢，你可以上網找一個英語老師，你也可以去參加當地的聚會團體。

There are probably local English meetup groups in your city, even if you live in a really small place. They are everywhere.

在你的城市中可能有當地的英語聚會團體，即使你住在一個非常小的地方，它們也是無處不在的。

I recommend going online, finding someone you can speak with, or going to a local group, that way, you can meet someone face to face.

我建議上網查詢，找到可以與你交談的人，或去當地的聚會團體，這樣你就可以與人面對面交流。

This takes a lot of courage, but learning a new language is such an interesting and valuable thing that you need to forget fear and trying to do these things that are outside your comfort zone.

這需要很大的勇氣，但學習一門新的語言是如此有趣和有價值的事情，你需要忘記恐懼，嘗試做些走出你舒適區的事情。

So, my number 5 tip is to get feedback—get instant feedback on your speaking.

所以，我的第五個技巧是獲得反饋——獲得關於你講話時的即時反饋。
