Picking up a new language is not really that easy, but knowing more about the science of learning languages may help you speed up the learning progress. Belle Beth Cooper has shared her views on Crew Blog: 学一门语言并非易事，不过多了解学外语的科学或许会进步更快。Belle Beth Cooper在Crew博客上分享了她的观点。 How we learn language 人们学习语言的方式 Learning language is something were born to do. As children, we learn to think, learn to communicate and intuitively pick up an understanding of grammar rules in our mother tongue, or native language. From then on, we learn all new languages in relation to the one we first knewthe one that we used to understand the world around us for the first time ever。 学习语言是人类与生俱来的行为。从孩提时起，我们就学习思考、学习交流，并且本能地掌握母语或本族语的语法。从那时起，我们便学习跟初识有关的任何新语言正是凭着初识，我们才懂得周围的世界。 Learning a foreign language 学习一门外语 When it comes to learning a second language, adults are at a disadvantage. As we age, our brains plasticity (its ability to create new neurons and synapses) is reduced. Following brain damage that causes a loss of speech, for instance, researchers have observed that children are more likely to regain the power of speech, by creating new pathways in the brain to replace the damaged ones。 |
