¡Vaya terapia!

朋友们你们好！这一集我已经准备了一些自己非常喜欢的零食。它们是我学习汉语过程中的几条心得。我话就不多说了，我们边吃边学吧！


1）给自己定下小目标：
比如说：你每天都会学10分钟的汉语。听起来很短，才十分钟！不过如果你一年365天每天都全心全意地学10分钟，相信我，你会学到很多东西！

2）改变手机语言 ：
一开始，可能会有很多词语你看不懂，但是我们每天随时都要用手机，所以你慢慢会习惯的。

3）模仿本地人的发音和语气：
在看视频，看电视剧或者在听播客的时候，可以暂停一下，模仿他们说的每一句话。这是一个能帮助你练习自然口音的方法。我个人觉得特别有用！

4）自己录音：
学习时，可以录一下你说汉语的声音。这个方法有两个目的。首先，录完就可以自己听，然后跟母语者说的作比较。其次，学习了一段时间后，回头再听就可以感觉到你的进步，鼓励自己！

5）不要怕被笑话：
很多朋友担心自己说错，所以很少开口。你知道吗，你虽然会认识很多生词，但是如果你不说话，那些词你会很容易忘掉的。多多说话不但帮你说得更流利，而且也是学习和复习词语的一个好方式。

最后有一个小小的tip想跟你们分享一下。有不少朋友问了我，如果想轻松地跟中国朋友聊天那应该学习什么内容：我觉得只要是让你感兴趣的内容，你都可以去学。学自己喜欢的，这样会更有意思，学得更快！

希望我的那几个秘诀可以帮助大家提高自己的汉语水平，让你们学习的旅程更简单，更开心！
祝你们新的一年有新的开始，新的收获和成功！
