Every day, I'd try to write down 10-50 words or phrases in French which I didn'tunderstand, or words or phrases in English which I didn't know how to render in French. I'dgo home and spend an hour or more looking them up in the dictionary。

　　每天寫10到50個法語新單詞或詞組，或是我不知道如何用法語翻譯的地道的英語單詞詞組。回家后花1個多小時在字典里查找這些單詞。

　　I'd read newspapers, comic books, textbooks, advertisements, and novels。讀新聞、漫畫、課本、廣告和小說。

　　I'd talk to teachers, fellow students, strangers at the bus stop, store clerks, etc。和老師、同學、車站遇到的陌生人和店員等聊天。

　　By the way, I rarely watched TV, listened to the radio, watched movies, or listened to musicin French... though this might just be a personal thing. I often have great difficultyunderstanding my native language, English, in recorded form. I still find recorded audioextremely difficult to understand in French, despite the fact that I can carry on largely fluentin-person conversations with native speakers。

　　對了，我很少看法語電影電視，聽法語之聲或歌曲，當然這可能只是我自己的問題。雖然英語是我的母語，我還是經常覺得要聽懂英語錄音挺難的。。我基本上能夠很流利的和母語為法語的人對話，但還是覺得法語錄音很難懂。

　　My method is "write and pronounce". Writingwords on paper leaves a visual memory trail

　　of the words. If you just look words, you mayforget them quickly, but writing them makes youconcentrate on them more efficiently. Readingwords aloud gives you a phonetic

　　memory trail. It creates an echoing sound in myhead and that sound I can recall later. When you know words enough, you will understand theprinciples of word formation in that language. This helps you guess meanings of unfamiliarwords, when you read, and create word families in your memory。

　　我的方法是“寫+念”。把單詞寫在紙上能加深這個詞的視覺記憶。如果只是看看單詞，你可能很快就把它們忘了，但書寫能讓你更專注。大聲朗讀單詞能加深單詞的聽覺記憶。這樣做在大腦里創造了一個之后也能再次想起的回聲。當你的詞匯量足夠大時，你會懂的該語言的構詞法。在讀到不熟悉的單詞時，它能幫你猜出詞義，還能讓你記住這一系列單詞。
