1: Find some English radio stations and podcasts in iTunes
在iTunes上找一些英語廣播臺或播客
There are tons of podcasts about all topics imaginable these days: entertainment, politics, news. A good way to find one is to look for a podcast from a TV channel you usually watch in your cable TV. Look for one that interests you and listen to it in your car while driving. You’ll train your ear that way!

現在有無數的播客提供各類話題：娛樂、政治、新聞。搜尋的最佳方式就是從你經常看的電視頻道找一個出來。挑一個你感興趣的，開車的時候聽一聽。耳朵的本事就這麼慢慢鍛鍊出來啦。
2: Check out the Top Videos on YouTube and watch for at least a few minutes
在YouTube上找最熱的視頻至少看幾分鐘
Most of them are hilarious! It will be so worth it. Try looking at the comments to pick up some words and sentences you aren’t familiar with, but be careful there is all kinds of bizarre stuff in YouTube comments.

大部分都非常搞笑！絕對值得一看。再試着看看下面的評論，找出你不是很熟悉的單詞或者句子，但也別忘了底下的評論也有些惡搞。
3: Talk and sing to yourself in English
用英語和自己對話唱歌
When you are alone at home, or of course in the shower, start talking! Sing a song in English the way it sounds to you, talk about the weather or any other topic. Do this frequently and your pronunciation will drastically improve – guaranteed!

一個人在家，或洗澡的時候，和自己說話吧！或是對自己唱一首英文歌，談談天氣或其他的話題。經常這樣做，你的發音絕對會有意想不到的提高——人格擔保！
4: Do you have an English-speaking idol? Go to YouTube and watch all of his/her interviews in English
你有膜拜的英語大神麼？去看看他所有的英文訪談吧
You can spend hours doing that listening to interviews and it sure won’t feel like studying. But it is! It helps you a great deal.

你可以花很多時間來看這些訪談，絕對不會讓你有學習的感覺，但這真的是一種學習哦！能大大地幫助到你。
5: Sit near people who are speaking English on the bus or in the park. Listen in…
公車上或公園裏，不妨做得離老外近一點，聽一聽呀
Okay now don’t be a creepy eavesdropper! But, see what words you can pick up and listen to the flow of the conversation. How much did you understand? What general topic were they talking about? Did you hear an interesting word you might want to look up after?

放心這絕不是偷聽！但是看看你能聽懂多少個詞語，聽一下對話的進程。你能理解多少？他們大概在談論什麼話題？你聽到什麼有趣的詞讓你有回家翻字典的衝動麼？
6: Pay attention to billboards, signs, advertisements, magazine stands and establishment names
關注一些榜單、標示、廣告、售報亭和企業名稱
Look and think about what these ads mean. How many words do you recognize? Did you see that same word elsewhere? Make up sentences about what you’re seeing.

看看想想這些廣告的含義。哪些詞你是認識的？你還在哪裏看到這個詞？用看到的詞造個句唄。
7: Love music? Try figuring out the words/lyrics of your favorite songs
愛音樂？研究下你喜歡歌曲的歌詞
Watch video clips with lyrics on YouTube and sing along. Read the translation and build up your vocabulary. Listen to “clean” versions of songs and try to figure out what dirty words were taken out. It’s fun!在YouTube上看看帶歌詞的原版MV，跟着一起唱吧。看看翻譯版本能擴大詞彙量。再聽不帶字幕的版本，試着找出被“閹割”掉的不文明詞彙。哈哈，真的很有意思哦。
8: Watch TV clips, episodes or soap operas in English
看英語原聲的電視片段、劇集和肥皂劇
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand what they’re saying, watch anyway! Try to understand why something is funny or sad . If the joke is related to the word itself, then maybe that is why the joke does not make sense in your native language. What would be the best translation into your language then?

不明白他們在說什麼其實沒關係，看就是了！試着去理解什麼搞笑什麼煽情。如果這個笑話和單詞有關，那麼也許在你的母語中並沒有那麼好笑。那怎麼翻譯才最到位呢？
9: Engage in a conversation on Facebook with friends who post in English
和英語國家的朋友在臉書上交談
When you have English speakers in your timeline, you see their posts daily and get inside information about news and viral videos in English. Your friends can be your teachers! Their timeline basically sort out the best material for you to study.

如果你的好友名單裏有英語國家的朋友，你會看到他們每天的簽名更新，更能瞭解用英語表達出他們國家的一些新聞和時事視頻。朋友也可以是你的老師！他們的狀態更新就是你最好的學習材料。
10: Produce, produce, produce. No matter how shy you are or how much you don’t “get” English, force yourself to speak
說出來說出來說出來。無論你多麼內向，英語多爛，逼着自己去說
Help out a tourist who looks lost. They won’t mind you struggling with the language while you’re doing them a favor! After class, talk to your teacher about how things are going and what you need help with in English. When traveling, ask around for directions in English, even if you don’t need them! Try purchasing things online and by phone, or using customer support in English.

幫助看似迷路的外國遊客。只要是在幫忙，他們不介意你英語的好壞！課後和老師談談最近的近況，以及需要得到英語學習方面什麼樣的幫助。旅遊的時候，用英語問一下路，哪怕並不需要！試試用英語網購、手機購物或使用客戶服務！
It does not matter if you talk slowly, you are learning, that’s only natural!
說的慢沒關係，關鍵在於你是在學習！
BONUS TIP: When seeing a new movie look up the original title on
最後的小建議：如果在IMDB網站看到新的電影，不妨你看看原版的名稱

The translation sometimes does not correspond directly to the original. Find out what the original title really means. Ask yourself how the translation makes sense. What is the relation to the movie? You will never forget a new word that once it’s associated with anunforgettable movie. Works every time!
翻譯有時候並不遵循原版。找出原來的電影名字，看看到底什麼意思。然後想想這麼翻譯的意義，和電影有何相關性？看過一場難忘的電影，你絕對不會再忘記這裏面的生詞了，每次都這樣做吧！
