Well hey there! I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!
Can you believe that we've made it to the end of another year?
大家好哇！歡迎來到Emma的美味英語，我是Emma！
你能相信我們我們又攜手走過新的一年了嗎？
2018 is almost over! Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?
2018馬上就要結束啦！
歡樂時光總是短暫，對吧？
Well, I hope that you've been having fun here at mmmEnglish and that you've been learning a few new things along the way.
But before we finish up the year, I want you to tell me which was your favourite lesson of this year and also tell me what lessons do you want me to teach you in 2019.
希望大家在Emma的美味英語頻道玩得很開心，也希望你們已經有了一些新的收穫。
但是在我們收尾之前，我想讓大家告訴我本年度你最喜歡的課程是哪一個，也告訴我你們想讓我在2019年教你們的課程。
I've had lots of requests for conditionals and relative clauses which will be fun but necessary and also lots of requests for more common English expressions too.
So let me know in the comments what you want me to teach you in 2019.
我收到了很多條件句和關係從句的請求，這些課程都很有趣，也非常有必要，也收到了很多日常英語表達的請求。
大家在評論中告訴我想讓我在2019年教大家的課程吧。
And while you're thinking about the year ahead, let's talk about your study habits because I think that we can improve a few things to make 2019 the year that your English leaps to the next level.
We'll set clear goals in this lesson, we'll optimise your study time and find out if it's your mindset that's been holding you back.
當大家在考慮新的一年的時候，讓我們來討論一下大家的學習習慣吧，因為我覺得我們可以在某些方面進行提升，讓大家的英文水平在2019年有質的飛躍。
我們會在本節課程中制定清晰的目標，我們會充分利用你的學習時間，搞清楚是不是你的思維定式在阻止你的進步。
. . . . . . Today I'm going to share some English-learning hacks with you, ones that will help you to make huge progress in the new year.
今天我要分享一些英語學習的技巧，這些技巧能夠幫助大家在新的一年取得巨大的進步。
但是在那之前，讓我們花點時間回顧一下大家在今年取得的那些進步吧。
But before we do that, let's spend a few moments looking back at the progress that you've made this year. Try to be kind to yourself here.
儘量對自己好點。
大家今年能用英語做的事情，有什麼是在2017年不能做的呢？
What's one thing that you've done in English this year that you couldn't do at the same time last year in 2017?
Perhaps you couldn't watch an English movie without subtitles or maybe you couldn't understand a whole lesson of mine.
也許你無法不看字幕看英文電影，也許你不能完全理解我的一整節課程。
也許你過去整整一年都在為語言學校存錢，現在你正計劃在一月月底開始。
Perhaps you spent the entire year saving enough money to enroll in a language school and now you're planning to start at the end of January.
Perhaps you've spoken with an English native speaker and you've never done that before.
也許你和英語母語者進行交談了，而且你之前都沒有這麼做過。
也許你的雅思分數從七分到了八分。
Maybe you took your IELTS from a seven to an eight. Just tell me one thing that you're proud of about your English.
What progress did you make throughout 2018?
告訴我你對自己的英語哪部分感到自豪呢。你在2018年取得了什麼進步呢？
不管你的進步看起來多麼地微不足道。現在把它給寫下來吧。
It doesn't matter how tiny or insignificant it might seem. Write it down now.
You could also add something that's been quite difficult for you this year, something that you want to keep working on in 2019.
你還可以加上一些去年對你而言比較困難的部分，而你想在今年繼續攻克。
如果我能幫上什麼忙的話，請一定要讓我知道哦。
And if it's something that I can help you with, then let me know.
Now my year has been full of ups and downs, highs and lows and I'm sure that yours has too.
而我的一年充滿了各種跌宕起伏，我相信你們肯定也是的。
但是我對即將到來的一年感到非常激動，也希望你們對於來年感到積極樂觀。對了，大家一定要訂閱我的頻道，這樣大家就可以知道有什麼新改變，以及我們要在2019做出什麼新的嘗試。
But I'm really excited about what's coming and I hope that you're feeling really positive about the year ahead.
Now make sure you have subscribed to my channel so that you can find out what's changing, what new things we'll be trying in 2019. Just click that red button down there.
點擊下面的紅色按鈕就行。
我已經在油管社區的朋友們進行了一些交談，討論了要做什麼改變，所以趕快來加入我們一起討論吧！
I've already been having some conversations with my community here on YouTube to talk about what those things are so come and join us there!
Let's kick off the new year with five steps that you can take to improve your English and your study habits.
讓我們用五步開啟新的一年，而這五步能夠幫助你提升英文，塑造更好的學習習慣。
第一個是：充分利用你的學習時間。
The first one is: maximise your learning time.
What does that even mean?
那是什麼意思呢？
意思是要利用好你的時間。
It means make the most of the time that you have.
Take advantage of the time available in your week and get the most out of your study time.
要充分利用你一周中可以使用的時間，充分發揮學習時間的最大效用。
在學習一門語言的時候，我們花費的時間是不同的對吧。
We all have different amounts of time to spend on learning a language, right? We all have different priorities so when it comes to studying English, you need to focus on the time that you have available, what do you have available to you.
我們的輕重緩急不同，所以在學習英語的時候，你需要聚焦於你自己本身能夠使用的時間。你擁有的真正的時間有多少。
The realistic amount of time that you have.
Don't go telling yourself that you're going to do twenty hours of study a week when you have a really demanding job and you've got young children to care for, it just won't happen.
當你本身工作強度就很大，還有孩子要照顧的時候，不要告訴自己你要每周學習二十個小時，這是不切實際的。你確鑿的學英語的時間有多少呢？
What time do you actually have to study English?
Whatever that amount is, we need to maximise it, make the most of that time.
不管時間有多少，我們都要充分利用，發揮其最大效用。
所以呢，我非常非常推薦大家寫下自己的學習計劃。現在是不是聽起來有點點嚴肅了呢？
So to do this, I highly, highly recommend writing your own study plan. Now that sounds serious, right? Well, it is!
是的呢！如果你今年沒有完成你本來想取得的進步，或者你感覺對於自己應該學習什麼有點點迷惑，很有可能你沒有花足夠的時間在這上面，或者是你學的東西不對，也可能是你的方式不是最有效的。
If you haven't been making the progress that you wanted to make with your English this year or maybe you're feeling a little lost about what you should be studying, chances are you're not spending enough time on it or you're not studying the right things or you're not doing it in the most effective way. You're not maximising the time that you have to study.
你沒有充分利用你的學習時間。而一個學習計劃能夠助你一臂之力。
Now a study plan is going to help you with that.
It's going to help you practise the right stuff and make your practice more consistent.
它能夠幫助你正確練習，讓你的練習更加連貫。
這會變成一個習慣，變成你日常生活的一部分。
So it becomes a habit, make it part of your daily routine. Here's a super quick hint.
If you watch through until the end of this lesson, in the bonus section, I'll show you exactly how to create your own personalised study plan.
給大家提供一個小竅門。
如果你堅持到本節課程的結尾的話，在額外獎勵部分，我會給大家展示如何定製自己的個人學習計劃。
如果你每天只有三十分鐘可以利用的話，也沒關係的。
Now if the best that you can manage is thirty minutes of study each day, that's okay. In fact, that's great! It's really good!
其實已經很棒了！真的很好了！
但是要保證你非常認真地對待這三十分鐘，而那在你的計劃之中。這是計劃好的學習時間。
But make sure that you commit to it and that it's in your schedule. It's scheduled study time.
But what about incidental study time? Extra time that you might have where you could study.
但是零碎的學習時間呢？那些你可以用來學習的額外時間。
比如說可能是在公交車上的時間。
Maybe passing time on a bus, for example. So what can you do?
你能做什麼呢？你可以一直在你的腦海中進行練習。
You can practise in your head constantly.
If you haven't been training yourself to think in English this year, then 2019 is the year to do it.
如果你今年還沒有訓練自己用英語進行思考的話，那麼2019年就要這麼做啦。
如果你在觀看這個視頻，不看字幕的話也能夠理解大部分內容的話，你的英語可能至少是中等水平，那也就意味著你擁有用英語表達自己的想法的詞彙，你只需要在使用它們的時候更加自然嫻熟。
Now if you're watching this video and you understand most of it without subtitles, your English level is probably at least intermediate level and that means you have the words and vocabulary to express your ideas in English, you just need to get more comfortable using them.
And while it's not always easy and practical to speak out loud, you are under pressure, you can regularly practise thinking in English.
儘管大聲說出來並不總是很容易，有時候也並不實際，你可能感到亞歷山大，但是你還是可以經常用英語進行練習思考。
你在任何時候都可以自己這麼做。
And you can do this on your own, at any time. It doesn't matter.
沒關係的。
我承認一整天都用另外一種語言進行思考需要下苦功，也需要堅定的決心。
Now I'll admit that thinking in another language all day takes a lot of hard work and determination. So start small, start with an hour then two.
所以呢，從小處著手，先從一個小時開始，然後加到兩個小時。記住要休息一下下。
Make sure you take a break. I'm still learning to speak Spanish, so for me, this task is painful! It's slow, it's frustrating, it's really tiring.
我還是在學習西班牙語，所以對我而言，這個任務非常艱難！這非常緩慢，時而令人沮喪，也讓人精疲力竭。
我每天結束的時候總是感覺我的腦袋爆炸了，我開始把英語和西班牙語混淆了起來，還有一些我在過去學的其他語言。
I always end up finishing the day feeling like my head has exploded and I start mixing up English and Spanish and then some other random languages I've learned in the past too.
By the end of the day, you'll feel like your brain has been fried.
在一天結束之時，你感覺你的大腦被油炸了一樣。
起碼我是這樣的。
At least I do. But this is exactly how you need to feel.
但是你著實需要有這種感覺。
每天精疲力竭、滿心困惑，感覺你已經達到了學習的極限意味著你做的超級好。
Exhaustion and confusion and feeling like you've reached your learning limit each day means that you've been doing an amazing job. Okay, so compare it to going to the gym.
好的，把這和去健身房進行一下比較吧。
連續六周每天都去健身房訓練之後，你是不是會覺得非常健康呢？
Have you ever felt really fit after going to the gym every day for six weeks? You feel fantastic and you look great.
你感覺超級贊，看起來也超棒。
但是呢，然後你就去吃了一頓大餐。
But then you have a bit of blowout.
You go on holiday, maybe you stop working out because you've injured yourself, whatever.
你去度假了，可能停止繼續鍛鍊，因為你傷到了自己，不管什麼原因吧。
你長了幾磅，想到要重回健身房訓練，突然之間就感到非常可怕。
You put on a few pounds and the thought of going back to the gym is suddenly terrifying. You know that it's going to hurt, right?
你知道肯定很痛苦，對吧？
因為你很久沒有每天都鍛鍊了，已經過去了一段時間，其實學英語也是一樣的道理。而這就關係到我們剛剛討論的一點，那就是持之以恆。
Because you haven't been practising every day, it's been a while and this is exactly the same when you're learning English.
So that brings me back to my earlier point about consistency. Creating a routine to make sure that you spend regular times practising English.
創造一種生活習慣，保證你每天都有規律地進行英語練習。
其實你有多少時間沒那麼重要，重要的是你在學習的時候有多麼的持之以恆。
It matters less how much time you have and it matters more how consistent you are when you study.
And although it takes a lot of work and self-motivation to start thinking throughout the day in English, pretty soon it's going to feel like a habit.
儘管這需要非常努力，也需要有很強的動機來開始一整天都用英文進行思考，過了一段時間之後你就會感覺已經形成習慣啦。
這會變得自然且持續起來。
It's going to happen naturally and constantly. My students are always thrilled when they start dreaming in English.
Have you had this yet?
當我的學生開始用英語做夢的時候，他們總是感到超級激動。
你用英語做過夢嗎？說到這，我們的清單上還有一項。
Speaking of which, here is another item on our list. Get a good night's sleep.
好好地睡一覺。如果你每天晚上上床睡覺的時候腦子裡面感覺一團漿糊，因為你一整天都在練習英語，那麼睡個好覺就十分重要了。這能幫助你的大腦更加有效地工作。
If you're going to bed every night with your brain feeling like mush because you've been practising English all day, then getting a good night's sleep is so important. It helps your brain to work effectively. Now this sounds kind of basic, right?
這聽起來很簡單，是吧？但是道理很簡單。一晚良好的睡眠能夠提升你的專注力，能夠讓你進行更加清晰的思考。
But it's simple. A good night's sleep will improve your concentration and your ability to think clearly.
In fact, eating a clean, healthy diet is also going to help.
事實上，吃一頓簡單健康的飯也有所幫助。
如果因為你整晚都在喝酒跳舞，所以早晨醒來的時候感覺到很難受的話，你很有可能不會起床練習英語，對吧？
If you wake up feeling hungover because you've been out drinking and dancing all night, you're probably not going to be leaping out of bed to practise English, right?
New Year's Eve is an exception though, you can take me as day off to celebrate.
當然了，新年之夜是個例外，你可以放一天假慶祝一下。
但是說實話，你的睡眠真的規律且良好嗎？
But can you honestly say that you regularly get a good night's sleep?
If you don't get enough sleep then your brain feels kind of fuzzy, right?
如果你沒有得到充足的睡眠的話，你的大腦就會感覺稀裡糊塗的，是吧？
思考問題和專注精神會非常困難。
You have a hard time thinking about problems and concentrating.
Not to mention, you just look like a zombie.
更不用說，你看起來就像個殭屍一樣。
除此之外，為什麼睡眠這麼重要，還有一個更加嚴肅的原因。
Plus, there's another more serious reason why sleep is important.
Memory consolidation happens while you're sleeping.
記憶鞏固發生在睡眠時期。是的。
Yeah. What does that mean? While we're awake, we acquire memories or we make new memories.
那是什麼意思呢？當我們醒著的時候，我們獲取記憶，或者是創造新的記憶。
我們會學習新的東西，看到新的東西。
We learn things, we see things, we study things. Sometimes we'll forget those things in an instant and others will become cemented in our mind permanently.
有時我們會立刻忘記這些東西，而另一些則會永久地保存在我們的記憶當中。
據說那個過程發生在我們的睡覺的時候。
Now it's believed that that process happens while we're sleeping.
So memories - the things that we learn, become stabilized or more permanent in our brain so that we can access and use that information in the future sometime.
所以呢，記憶——我們學到的那些東西，在我們大腦當中穩定化或者永久化，這樣我們就可以在未來的某個時刻獲取並且使用那些信息。
你每天學習的所有英文新單詞和語法會在你睡覺的時候在大腦中進行鞏固。
So all the new words and the grammar that you've been learning in English every day, it gets stabilised in your brain, while you're sleeping.
So if you don't get a good night's sleep, there's a good chance that you won't remember all of the new things that you've learned throughout the day.
如果你晚上沒睡好的話，很有可能你記不住那天學習的所有新東西。
所以呢，這裡的重點就是不要浪費你的辛勤勞動，是吧？一定要儘量地把睡個好覺當成重中之重。
So my main point here is don't let your hard work and your study go to waste, right?
Make it a priority to get a good night's sleep as often as you can. Another thing I want you to focus on in 2019 is asking for help.
我希望大家在2019年關注的一件事情就是尋求幫助。
我知道，在用英語進行交流的時候犯錯誤，這可能有點尷尬，有點讓人感覺不太舒服，對吧？
Now I get it, it can be awkward, embarrassing, uncomfortable to make a mistake while you're trying to communicate in English, right?
It's hard to admit that you need help.
承認你需要幫助其實還挺困難的。
我希望我不需要在學習西班牙語的時候尋求幫助，我自然而然地就知道，但是我並沒有。
I wish that I didn't have to ask for help with Spanish and that I just knew it. But I don't. But you know what?
Getting help from someone at the moment that you are in the middle of a conversation having trouble is the perfect time to ask.
但是你知道嗎？當在談話的時候遇到困難去向別人尋求幫助是最完美的詢問別人的時間。
大多數人都很樂意幫助你提升英語。
Most people are happy to help you improve your English. If you're in an English-speaking country and you aren't really sure about something that's on the menu or what something's called in a shop, then ask.
如果你在說英語的國家的話，而你不是很確定菜單上或者是超市裡的某個東西到底是什麼的話，那就開口問吧。
把這加入到你2019年的計劃之中。
Make this part of your plan in 2019. Ask for help.
Now part of the problem and what maybe you feel nervous about is actually knowing the phrases that you need to ask for help.
尋求幫助。你可能感到緊張的部分問題在於了解你需要尋求幫助的短語。
其實呢，我有一節課程是關於用英文尋求幫助的，就在這裡。
In fact, I made a lesson about asking for help in English, right here.
But really what you need to do is just learn a handful of phrases like. . . or. . . . practise these questions so that they come out naturally.
但是你真正需要做的事情是學習一些短語，比如說這些，或者是練習這些問題，這樣它們就可以自然而然地從你嘴裡出來啦。
大多數人都很樂意幫助你，如果他們不願意的話，那就繼續下去吧。
Most people are going to be happy to help you out and if they're not, then move along.
You don't need that in your life, put it behind you and keep going, keep focused on your goal.
你的人生中並不需要它，那就把它拋在腦後，繼續前進，繼續關注於你的目標。
不幸的是，我們周圍總是會有一些憤憤不平的人。
There are grouchy people all around us, unfortunately. There are grouchy people right here writing comments under my lessons on YouTube.
這裡就有一些喜歡發牢騷的人，在我油管的課程下面寫評論。
我會讓他們阻止我每周出現在這裡教大家英文嗎？並不會。
Do I let it stop me from showing up here every week to teach you?
Not at all. They're not going to stop me!
他們並不能夠阻止我！他們不會擋住我的路。
They ain't getting in my way.
Now after you've learned all of these new words and expressions, the next thing you need to do is use what you've learnt.
那既然你已經學習了所有的這些新單詞和表達，你需要做的下一件事情就是使用你學到的這些單詞。
充分利用你的學習時間，一直用英語進行思考，睡個好覺，還有向其他人尋求幫助，這都是讓你的英語不斷提升的絕佳方式，但是最重要的是吸收消化你學到的知識，並且真正為我所用。
Maximising your study time, thinking constantly in English, getting a good night's sleep and asking other people for help, these are all really great ways to improve and advance your English but most importantly of all is taking what you've learned and actually using it yourself.
Passive learning, memorising, all of these things could be great ways to learn new vocabulary. You can do this by reading books and watching movies.
被動學習和記憶在學習新單詞的時候是非常棒的方式。你可以讀讀書啊，看看電影啊進行學習。
用英語進行思考是自我練習流暢度的重要方式，但是記憶和自我思考能幫你的也就這麼多了。
Thinking in English is a great way to practise fluency on your own but memorising and thinking for yourself can only take you so far.
What we really, really want to do in 2019 is find a way to help you practise and make that practice part of your routine.
我們在2019年真正想做的事情是尋找一種方式，幫助大家練習，並且讓練習成為你日常生活的一部分。
如果你並不是生活在說英語的國家，你身邊也沒有很多人可以幫你練習的話，別擔心。
If you're not living in an English-speaking country and you don't have many people around you that you can practise with, don't worry.
There are still so many different ways that you can practise using your English on a daily basis.
你還可以通過很多不同的方式每天使用英語。
你可以尋找一個線上的社群，在這個社群裡非母語者互相練習。
So you can look for an online community where non-native speakers practise with each other.
Remember what I said in an earlier lesson? This one about finding the right group and the right speaking partner and how important that is?
還記得我在早先的課程中怎麼說的嗎？
關於尋找正確的群體和正確的語伴是多麼重要的那一節。
我之前也提到了「女士項目」，是一個女性線上互相社群，我運營這個社群是為了幫助女性提升英語技能，而網上其實有很多相似的社群。
大多數城市都有每周的碰面。
I've also mentioned The Ladies' Project before which is an online membership community for women which I run to help women develop their English speaking skills together and there are so many groups like this online.
Most cities have weekly meet-ups.
Maybe at the local cafe where people meet to practise their English skills. Even if you're in a non-English speaking country, there are still others around you who are trying to learn English.
可能就在當地的咖啡廳裡，大家碰面練習英語技巧。即使你並不是生活在一個說英語的國家，你身邊肯定有其他人也在努力學習英語。
找到他們只需要快速地谷歌一下即可。
So finding them just takes a quick Google search. You might want to hire a tutor either online or in-person to practise your speaking skills and pronunciation with.
你可能想要找一個線上或者是線下的導師，陪伴你共同練習口語技巧。我最喜歡的方式，也是操作起來非常簡單的一個方式就是寫日記，用英語記錄你每天所做的事情。
One of my favourites that's so easy to do is to write a journal, keep track of everything that you did during your day in English. So practise writing sentences using the new words that you've come across throughout the day.
用你當天碰到的新單詞練習造句。
如果你有規律、習慣性地進行練習的話，你會發現你的語言進步非常神速。一定要把這件事優先來做。
You'll see so much progress in your language if you practise regularly, habitually. Make it a priority.
Now I know that out of all of these steps that I've shared today, this one is probably the most challenging.
It requires the most thought and energy. It might be difficult to imagine how this will happen but don't let it stop you.
我知道除了我今天分享了這些方法之外，這個是最具有挑戰性的。
它需要最多的思考和能量。
可能很難去想像這該怎麼辦，但是不要讓它阻擋你的步伐。這就是新年嘛，對吧？
This is what a new year is all about, right?
Setting new goals for yourself, pushing yourself a little further outside of your comfort zone.
為你自己設立新的目標，督促自己走出舒適區。
我感覺2019年對我們而言將是超級贊的一年，我也希望在接下來的12個月裡我能在這裡陪伴大家，教給大家新的課程，和大家分享新的發音技巧。
I've got a feeling that 2019 is going to be an excellent year for us and I hope that I can be here with you throughout the next twelve months teaching new lessons and sharing new pronunciation tips with you.
If you're looking to make progress with your English and maximise your study time this year then, these areas that I mentioned during this lesson are a great place to start.
如果你想要在今年提升英語能力，充分利用學習時間的話，我在本節課程中提到的這些方面都是良好的開端。
如果你自己還有什麼其他的小竅門想和大家分享的話，那就寫在評論處吧。
And if you have any other tips and tricks of your own that you'd like to share with everyone watching then please add them in the comments below.
If you're keen to get some new ideas about how to take your English to the next level, then make sure you check out that lesson right there.
如果你非常迫切地想要了解更多關於如何讓自己的英語更上一層樓的點子的話，記得一定要看看這邊的課程哦。
如果你再堅持幾分鐘的話，我會分享一些妙招，幫助大家設計一個2019年英語提升終極計劃。
And if you stick around now for a few more minutes, I'll share my tips to help you create a killer study plan to improve your English in 2019. Let's do it!
