學(xué)習(xí)新語(yǔ)言的學(xué)生往往分為兩類(lèi)：一類(lèi)是從零開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)一門(mén)新語(yǔ)言的人，或是與水平相當(dāng)?shù)娜艘黄鹛嵘炀毝�；另一�?lèi)是尋求體驗(yàn)并把語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)作為激勵(lì)的人。明了自己想從這段經(jīng)歷中獲得什么，這將幫助你應(yīng)該做出什么樣的決定，比如說(shuō)是選擇為期一個(gè)月的歐洲之旅，還是選擇到非洲這樣更有異國(guó)情調(diào)的地方來(lái)一次短期旅游。
More Than Just Language Lessons
不僅僅是語(yǔ)言課程
“A culturally immersive program, where it is not possible to speak English is the only way to learn a new language, in my opinion,” says Irene Lane, founder of the eco-adventure company Greenloons.
生態(tài)探險(xiǎn)公司Greenloons的創(chuàng)始人艾琳-萊恩說(shuō)：“我的觀點(diǎn)是，把一個(gè)人放在說(shuō)不了英語(yǔ)的文化沉浸式項(xiàng)目里，這是學(xué)習(xí)新語(yǔ)言的唯一方法�！�
And the lessons learned aren’t just linguistic. Observing family life, going to the local market, interacting with shopkeepers help to round out and deepen the overall experience. For travelers with less time, there are great “quickie” language-learning options, like lessons in conversational Hebrew at a Tel Aviv coffee house or privates lessons in business Spanish at the San Miguel language academy, Academia Hispano Americana.
學(xué)到的不僅僅是語(yǔ)言。觀察家庭生活、到當(dāng)?shù)厥袌?chǎng)去、和店主交流，這些將幫助你完善和加深整個(gè)體驗(yàn)。對(duì)于只有短暫時(shí)間旅行的人來(lái)說(shuō)，這些都算是不錯(cuò)的語(yǔ)言“速成”學(xué)習(xí)選擇，像在特拉維夫咖啡館里的希伯來(lái)語(yǔ)對(duì)話交流，或在圣米格爾語(yǔ)言學(xué)院的商務(wù)西班牙語(yǔ)私人課程。
Maximize Your Immersion
讓你的沉浸式學(xué)習(xí)最大化
Your greatest souvenir from a language-learning adventure will be the ability to communicate in a foreign tongue. But you're also likely to make lasting friendships and find inspiration for future international escapes. Following these suggestions can help you get even more out of your once-in-a-lifetime experience.
在語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)歷中，你得到的最大禮物是用外國(guó)語(yǔ)進(jìn)行溝通的能力。此外你還能建立一段長(zhǎng)久的友誼，并找到在未來(lái)全球范圍內(nèi)語(yǔ)言沉浸學(xué)習(xí)的靈感。遵循以下建議，你將從人生中僅此一次的經(jīng)歷中受益更多。
1. Practice, practice, practice
練習(xí)，練習(xí)，再練習(xí)
Don’t be afraid to ask the locals to speak with you. Getting involved in a community project when time allows, so that the can refine your skills as well as teach your native language.
不要害怕，勇敢地邀請(qǐng)當(dāng)?shù)厝撕湍爿痘�。如果時(shí)間允許，要參與到社區(qū)項(xiàng)目中，這樣你不僅可以教授他們你的母語(yǔ)，而且你還改進(jìn)了你的技能。
2. Journal your progress
記錄進(jìn)步
Document your adventure with photographs and add captions in your new language. The more you learn, the more fun your story will become to write. While an eight- to 10-day vacation won’t result in fluency, your skills -- and confidence -- should rise dramatically.
用圖片記錄你的經(jīng)歷，用你新學(xué)到的語(yǔ)言來(lái)備注標(biāo)題。你學(xué)的越多，你寫(xiě)的故事就越有趣。雖然在8到10天的假期里你不能練就流利的口語(yǔ)，但你的技能（和信心）會(huì)得到極大的提升。
3. Be patient with yourself
要有耐心
Don’t be discouraged if you have trouble communicating. Ask people to speak more slowly if you are feeling overwhelmed. (That’s a great phrase to learn right away, by the way.) Set reasonable goals and be sure to allow time to enjoy the whole experience. You made a conscious decision to take a learning journey, so go easy on yourself.
如果在溝通上遇到困難，不要灰心。如果你感到不知所措，就請(qǐng)對(duì)方說(shuō)得慢一點(diǎn)（順便說(shuō)一句，這是一條要馬上學(xué)習(xí)的極好表達(dá)用語(yǔ)）。設(shè)立合理的目標(biāo)，一定要有時(shí)間享受整個(gè)過(guò)程。你做出了要參加學(xué)習(xí)旅程的慎重決定，所以慢慢來(lái)。
4. Keep it going
保持狀態(tài)
Hatch a plan to keep or expand your skills once you’re home. Join a local language club, take an evening course, find a native speaker, or make a habit of watching films or subscribing to a magazine in your “new” language.
等你回到家，就制定一個(gè)計(jì)劃來(lái)保持或拓展你的技能。加入當(dāng)?shù)氐恼Z(yǔ)言俱樂(lè)部，參加夜校課程，找一個(gè)以該語(yǔ)言為母語(yǔ)的人，培養(yǎng)看電影的習(xí)慣，或訂閱一份“新”語(yǔ)言的雜志。
