Hey, everyone. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on five ways to practice speaking by yourself.

大家好我是亞歷克斯，感謝觀看，歡迎來到本課，學習五種獨自練習演講的方法。

Another way to put this is solo speaking practice.

So, in this video, I will give you five things that you can do to help you practice your speaking even though you are by yourself, and even though you don't have a speaking partner,

所以，在這部影片中，我將給大家介紹五種可以幫助大家練習口語的方法，即使你是一個人，即使你沒有口說夥伴，

or you are not in an English class, or you don't have a private teacher, just because you don't have someone to speak with doesn't mean that you can't exercise your speaking muscles by yourself.

或者你沒有上英語課，或者你沒有私人教師，沒有人和你說話並不意味著你不能自己鍛鍊你的口說肌肉。

So, that's what we are going to talk about in this video.

這就是我們要在這部影片中討論的內容。

And before I start, if this is your first time watching something from my channel, make sure to like the video, share it, and subscribe to my channel. That's all for now.

在我開始之前，如果這是你第一次觀看我頻道的節目，請務必按讚、分享並訂閱我的頻道。就到這裡吧。

Another way to say shadowing is mimicking, or perhaps listening and repeating.

另一種說法是模仿，或者說是聆聽和重複。

So, you can watch videos, you can listen to audio recordings, you can listen to dialogues,

你可以看影片，可以聽錄音，可以聽對話，

you can watch and listen to movies and TV shows, you can listen to what people are saying, and repeat.

可以看和聽電影和電視節目，可以聽別人在說什麼，然後重複。

基本上就是暫停、倒帶和重複。

Repeat the intonation, repeat the pronunciation as well.

This is a way to help you practice and to see how the language is supposed to sound, or if you...

這是一種幫助你練習的方法，可以讓你瞭解語言應該是怎樣發音的，或者如果您......

Another way to think about it is to think about how you, you, excuse me, how you want to sound.

另一種思考方式是，想想你，不好意思，你想讓自己的聲音聽起來如何。

So, maybe you have found a good role model that you want to emulate, that you want to mimic or shadow.

所以，也許你已經找到了一個很好的榜樣，你想效仿他，想模仿他，想成為他的影子。

So, for example, if you enjoy the sound of my voice, for example, you can watch some of my videos, pause them, repeat after me, listen.

舉例來說，如果你喜歡我的聲音，你可以觀看我的一些影片，暫停，跟著我重複，聽。

How does my voice sound? How is my intonation? Am I going up? Or am I going down at the end of my sentences?

我的聲音聽起來如何？我的語調如何？我的語調是提高了？或者我在句子末尾的語調是否有所下降？

So, listen and repeat, shadowing. This is a good way to make sure that you are getting a model for how the language is supposed to sound, or how you want to speak.

所以，要邊聽邊重複，跟讀。這是一個很好的方法，可以確保你獲得語言應該如何發音或你想如何說話的模型。

Let's go on to number two, reading out loud.

讓我們繼續第二項，大聲朗讀。

Pick a book, pick an article, pick a paragraph, anything at all that will help you to read and to exercise your speaking muscles.

選一本書，選一篇文章，選一段話，只要能幫助你閱讀和鍛鍊口說肌肉的都可以。

Reading out loud is great because it allows you to pay attention to the structure of the language you are studying. You can slow down, you can learn and practice the correct forms.

大聲朗讀非常好，因為它可以讓你關注所學語言的結構。你可以放慢語速，學習和練習正確的形式。

You can look at, oh, okay, what tense is this? Oh, I can use this word here? Oh, okay.

你可以看看，哦，好吧，這是什麼時態？哦，我可以在這裡用這個詞嗎？哦，好的。

So, you are forcing yourself to speak correctly, if the writing is good, of course.

這樣，你就能強迫自己說正確的話，當然，如果文章寫得好的話。

So, for example, you might pick up a book like this one.

例如，你可以拿起像這樣的一本書。

So, lately I have been reading The Art of Living, which is a philosophical book by Epictetus. I mean, it's not in the original Greek.

最近我一直在讀《生活的藝術》，這是一本伊壁鳩魯寫的哲學書。這本書的原文不是希臘語，

So, you could pick up a book like this and read, okay, "Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back, for your own will is always within your control."

所以，你可以拿起這樣一本書讀一讀，念「沒有什麼能真正阻止你。沒有什麼能真正阻擋你，因為你的意志永遠在你的掌控之中。」

So, read out loud, practice your ability also to decode words.

所以，大聲朗讀，練習你的解詞能力。

And let's move on to number three, visualizing.

So, in this situation, you want to imagine real situations where you would use English.

所以，在這種情況下，你要想象你會使用英語的真實場景。

You would practice what you would say in a particular context, a particular situation.

你要練習在特定的語境、特定的情況下說什麼。

So, for example, you can imagine yourself speaking to someone while you are ordering a coffee. Like, imagine you are ordering a coffee, for example.

舉例來說，你可以想象自己在點咖啡時和別人說話。比如，想象你正在點咖啡。

Or imagine you are making an appointment with the doctor. What would I say in that situation? Oh, okay.

或者想象你正在預約醫生。在這種情況下我會說什麼呢？哦，好吧。

"I'd like to make an appointment," or "I'd like to make a reservation," if you're calling a hotel, for example.

「我想預約」，或者「我想預訂」如果你打電話給飯店的話。

Even short sentences like this will help you to continue stretching your muscles, exercising your speaking muscles. It's all about practice.

即使是這樣的短句，也能幫助你繼續伸展肌肉，鍛鍊你的口語肌肉。一切都是練習。

So, visualize your situation, put yourself in that moment, and yes, you will feel a little funny, but that's okay. You will get used to it after a little while.

所以，想象一下你的處境，把自己置身於那個時刻，是的，你會覺得有點滑稽，但沒關係。過一會兒你就會習慣的。

So, I do the same thing in French from time to time.

所以，我時不時地用法語做同樣的事情。

My French still is not great, but sometimes I talk to my walls, you know? So, "Un verre d'eau, s'il vous plaît." Yeah. The wall will get me a glass of water, I hope. Okay.

我的法語仍然不是很好，但有時我會對著牆壁說：「來杯水吧，謝謝。我希望牆能給我一杯水。

So, visualize your situations and just speak. Imagine that you are in those situations. What would you say?

想象一下你的處境，然後說出來。想象你正處於這些情境中。你會說什麼？

Next, number four, singing a song or singing a song. Not bad. Okay.

接下來，第四項，唱首歌或唱首歌～～。真不錯。

So, I know many people who learn English or who become interested in learning English because they love English music or they love English films, which you can learn with by shadowing.

我知道很多人學習英語或對學習英語感興趣是因為他們喜歡英語音樂或英語電影，你可以通過跟讀學習。

But if you sing a song, basically studying, you study it and you memorize the words, a song you like, preferably.

但是，如果你唱一首歌，基本上就是學習，你研究它並記住歌詞，最好是你喜歡的歌。

And then, sing your heart out with the song that you have learned.

然後，用你發自內心地唱你學過的歌曲。

Again, you're practicing speaking, you're practicing singing, another skill that you can practice.

再說一遍，你在練習口語，你在練習唱歌，這是你可以練習的另一項技能。

And the bonus benefit is that you are also getting exposure to English culture.

額外的好處是你還可以接觸英語文化。

When you are learning a language, it also helps if you start like living the language.

當你學習語言時，如果你開始喜歡使用該語言，也會有所幫助。

And one of the ways that you can really start living a language is by learning about the culture around that language.

真正開始使用語言的方法之一就是了解語言周圍的文化。

音樂是每種文化的重要組成部分。

So, learn some English music, find out what you like, and memorize it, study it, sing it, let it become part of you.

所以，學習一些英語音樂，找出你喜歡的，然後記住它，研究它，唱它，讓它成為你的一部分。

And that is another way that you can practice your English speaking and exercise your English speaking muscles.

這是練習英語口語和鍛鍊英語口語肌肉的另一種方式。

We only have one more to go. So, here it is. Number five, practicing poems and monologues.

我們只剩下一個了。第五，練習詩歌和獨白。

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Alex, poetry. Alex, theater."

現在，我知道你在想什麼：「亞歷克斯，詩歌。亞歷克斯，戲劇。」

Okay, number one for the monologues, it doesn't have to be theater. It could be a monologue from a movie.

好吧，獨白的第一點是，它不一定是戲劇。這可能是電影中的獨白。

If you Google famous movie monologues, you can find videos as well as the transcript for the monologue. So, for example, now again, I don't actually feel this way.

如果你用谷歌搜尋著名的電影獨白，你可以找到影片以及獨白的逐字稿。所以，舉例來說，現在我其實並沒有這種感覺。

If you've ever seen the movie Taken with Liam Neeson, you can memorize the monologue where he says, "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a ransom, I can tell you that I don't have money."

如果你看過連恩尼遜主演的電影《即刻救援》，你就能記住他說「我不知道你是誰，我不知道你想要什麼。如果你要贖金，我可以告訴你我沒錢。」

Look at that. "I don't have money." I'm practicing the present simple. It's beautiful.

看看這個。「我沒錢」我在練習現在進行式，太美了。

"But what I do have are a very particular set of skills." This is more like Batman than Liam Neeson.

「但我有一套非常特殊的技能。」這更像蝙蝠俠的口氣，而不是連恩尼遜。

"Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it." I'm going to read till the end.

「我在漫長的職業生涯中獲得的技能。這些技能讓我成為你這種人的噩夢，如果你現在放了我女兒，這件事就結束了。」我會唸完。

"I will not look for you. I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you. I will find you and I will kill you."

「我不會去找你，我不會再找你，但如果你不放她走，我會找你，我會找到你，然後殺了你。」

It's terrible. Sorry for that last part. Okay.

太可怕了，對不起，最後一部分。

But that's an example of a movie monologue.

但這只是電影獨白的一個例子。

And just like I mentioned at the beginning of the video, it's another way of shadowing.

就像我在影片開頭提到的，這是另一種跟讀方式。

My Liam Neeson impression is probably pretty bad.

我模仿連恩尼遜模仿的可能很差。

But if you enjoy Liam Neeson's voice, if you enjoy the way he says things, the way his intonation goes, you could try to memorize a monologue like that to help you get a sense of the intonation and rhythm of the language,

但如果你喜歡連恩尼遜聲音，如果你喜歡他說話的方式和語調，你可以試著背誦一段這樣的獨白，幫助你瞭解語言的語調和節奏，

to practice speaking with emotion so that you're not just reading saying, you know, "I would like to go to Spain."

練習有感情地說話，這樣你就不會只是單調的念「我想去西班牙。」

Like that's all you're reading, right? Practice speaking with emotion.

你念的就這樣嗎？練習有感情地說話吧。

Shadow videos of others reading poems and monologues.

觀看他人朗讀詩歌和獨白的影片。

So one of my favorite poems, I think I've mentioned it on this channel many times, The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. I used to know almost that entire poem by heart.

我最喜歡的一首詩，我想我在這個頻道提過很多次了，埃德加-愛倫-坡的《烏鴉》。我以前幾乎能背誦整首詩。

And I can still say like part of it in the beginning, like, "Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore. Suddenly there came a rapping.

我仍然可以背出開頭的一部分。「曾經在一個沉悶的午夜，我疲憊無力地思考著許多被遺忘的古老而好奇的傳說。突然傳來一陣敲擊聲。」

No, "Suddenly there came a tapping." No, "Suddenly there came a rapping as of someone gently tapping, tapping at my chamber door. Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December."

不對是「突然傳來了敲擊聲。」不對，是「是突然有人輕輕地拍打著我的房門。啊，我清楚地記得，那是在淒涼的十二月。」

And it keeps going. I know a little more than that.

然後繼續下去，我知道的還不止這些。

But just an example of a poem that you can learn. Maybe not that one. There is a lot of older language in that one.

但這只是一首詩的例子，你可以學學。也許不是這首，那首詩裡有很多古老的語言。

But memorizing poems, memorizing monologues, getting emotion into your English while you were speaking is a great way to help you exercise your English speaking muscles.

但是背詩，背獨白，在你說話的時候把情感融入到你的英語中，是幫助你鍛鍊英語口語肌肉的好方法。

呼！就這些了，各位。祝你英語口語好運，多多練習。加油，加油
