A Drowing Man Can't Learn to Swim!
說明沉浸式學習不一定有用，就如學游泳一樣，需要生理跟心理都準備好，然後還有基本技能學好才可以學得快，否則就算待在美國十年、二十年都有可能說不好英文
5 Principles
Principle #1 - Focus on language content that is relevant to you
舉山中旅行，熊的痕跡的故事, People only pay attention to the content which is relevent to us
Principle #2 - Use your New Language as a Tool to Communicate.. From Day 1
We master tools by using tools and we learn tools the fastest when they are relevent to us
舉輸入中文的故事，需要在時限內交出中文說明書，because of this is relevant, important, meaningful. Using this tool to create value. 使得我們可以迅速學習
Principle #3 - when you first UNDERSTAND the MESSAGE, you will unconsciously ACQUIRE the Language
舉在列車上與人盡情用中文交談八個小時，不管是透過圖畫、手勢、body language, facial expressions。在兩周後，周遭的中文他多多少少都可以了解了，他並沒有特地的去學習，而是在那八小時中無意識的吸收了大量的單字
Language learning is NOT ABOUT KNOWLEDGE...
Comprehension works, comprehension is key
Principle #4 - Physiological Training
人類大腦會自動過濾聽不懂的語言，如果你不熟悉英文，就沒有辦法聽見他
練習說英文! 直到臉部肌肉痠痛
Principle #5 - Psyco-physiological state
alpha brain state, keep happy, relaxed, curious
To tolerant of ambiguity, get rid to what you didn't get, just pay attention to what informations you get from the others
7 Actions for Rapid Language Acquisition
Action #1 - Listen A LOT!
將自己沉浸在可以聽到很大量目標語言的環境中，即使聽不懂也沒關係，即使是一段重複的旋律也沒關係
Action #2 - Focus on getting the meaning FIRST (before the words)
使用已知的pattern去理解目標語言，舉越南語是30%的中文+30%的廣東話為例，只要熟悉這兩種語文，就可以聽得懂大部分的越南話
Action #3 - Start Mixing!
Focus on the core. 3000 words gives you 98 percent of anything you're going to say in daily conversation.
Action #4 - Start with your tool box
- Week 1 - The Tool Box
What is this? How do you say? I don't understand... - Week 2 - Pronuouns, Common Verbs, Adjectives
Communication like a baby - Week 3~4 - Glue Words
conjunctions, although, but, therefore, etc. those logical transformers
make more complex meaning
Action #5 - Get a Language Parent
即使小孩的發音不全、使用錯誤的單字，使他人無法理解小孩想說的話，但是父母總是可以理解孩子，使小孩有一個安全的環境可以增長信心
父母會使用body language以及使用小朋友可以理解的單字來溝通
尋找一個可以對等溝通的人，也願意幫助你理解語意的人(Pay attention to help you understand the message)
- Language Parent "Rules"
- Works hard to understand what you are saying
- Does not correct mistakes
- Confirms understanding by using correct language
- Uses words the learner knows
Action #6 - Copy the Face
Make the muscles working right, make the sounds right
Hear how it feels, feel how it sounds
Action #7 - "Direct Connect" to Mental Images
realise that everything you know is an image inside your mind, it's feeling.
Fire -> feel the temperature, have the image of fire, hear the crackling, see the flames
