Combining with my second foreign language learning experience Recently got one book, a thin booklet, have 153 pages ,an English original book. And I write down 3356 words studying notes. This book minutely record a native English speaker, a Canada immigrant Steve Kaufmann, how to learn nine foreign languages: French, Swedish, Spanish, Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese,(Only spent half a year can with person talk about politics topic.) German, Italian, etc. The author thinks the linguist, is not a pedant, is a master language and use it to communicate fluently.So in a sense, every one can become linguist. For the language style, this book use the very simple words.(And the author also emphasize repeatedly, the entire book’s word confine to basic 4000 words.) The entire book very like the TOEFL’s composition style, very simple and clear. But haven’t a little characters beauty. When I read the first 53 page, the book so neutral like a bottle of water, I feel frustrated that want to give up. But when I read after the 53 page , haven’t any twists and turns, the simple experience words stimulated my interest. Because I noted the Steve Kaufmann just Spent eight months, from zero learn Chinese, through self-study gets to appreciate Hou Baolin’s cross talk and listen San guo yan yi’s Storytelling.Read Mao Zedong, Lao she and Lu Xun’s articles.I gradually feel a little more interesting When I noted he enjoys study our country’s culture. Then the author always use plain language tell the process of he study nine languages.
