工作学习 / 外语学习 / 在学校里学了12年英语，来加拿大20年，为什么我的英语还比不上一个11岁的本地小学生？ -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558090@0)

这种事，我们一般都是靠生娃解惑。 -troyd(.); 2019-12-25 (#12558096@0) +1

这也是一招。😄 -letempsdescerises(飞雪连天射白鹿); 2019-12-25 (#12558105@0)
So please share with us your answer. 😊 -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558132@0) +1

等娃 11 年纪以后，就把自己做不到的事甩给娃做呗。 -troyd(.); 2019-12-25 (#12558148@0)

不一定，看聊什么了。聊电脑技术，网站本地小学生肯定比不上你。 -letempsdescerises(飞雪连天射白鹿); 2019-12-25 (#12558100@0)

Just language, not technology. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558130@0)

语言是工具， -letempsdescerises(飞雪连天射白鹿); 2019-12-25 {254} (#12558207@0) +1
好不好得看用在什么环境。从小在这儿长大的，日常用语应该是强过大部分第一代移民的，不过在特定语境下也未必如此。在职场，只要有意识去学，工作用英语达到和本地人类似水准不是难事。难的是工作外的社交场合，那谈论的话题就多了，语言背后的文化不同，一般就很难聊得深。

When it goes to special topics, the terms could be very specific. I just hope I can do better with those common things, like those in daily news. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558333@0)

Learning to use “small words” correctly can make a big difference. For example, -letempsdescerises(飞雪连天射白鹿); 2019-12-25 {420} (#12558580@0) +1
usually people say “when it comes to something” (ie not “goes to something”), also, it’s “on” news not “in” news... Paying attention to the use of small words can go a long way, but its importance often underestimated. News channels on TV/radio are excellent source of learning authentic English. Once you understand 100% of what they say on TV/radio, you are half way towards speaking as fluently as they do.

Good point! Thanks for the tips! -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558600@0) +1

You are welcome! Merry X’mas! 😄 -letempsdescerises(飞雪连天射白鹿); 2019-12-25 (#12558610@0)

要不辞职，上两年幼儿园试试? -mantis(悠着点上网的皮皮虾); 2019-12-25 (#12558108@0)

That's quite a creative way! May I use it as my Christmas wish? -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558135@0)

你老家的人普通话说好了都是天才了：） -guwangyan(瞎说话); 2019-12-25 (#12558113@0)

That's so true! Never stop learning and trying to be fluent in other languages. :( -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558124@0)

因为没有英文胎教。 -bigboy(bigboy); 2019-12-25 (#12558115@0)

说英文的妈才能制造出说英文的儿。 -bigboy(bigboy); 2019-12-25 (#12558119@0)

重新投胎，问题可解。 -bigboy(bigboy); 2019-12-25 (#12558122@0)

How about CBCs? -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558131@0)

They do have their own accent. -bigboy(bigboy); 2019-12-25 (#12558137@0)
据说10岁前来这的孩子，都没有口音。 -bigbread(匹格); 2019-12-25 (#12558144@0)

有，但是非常小。 -bigboy(bigboy); 2019-12-25 (#12558153@0)

CBC metro morning 的主持人台湾人，三岁来的。你去听听看她有没有口音。 -thegirlbefore(Jane); 2019-12-25 (#12558302@0)

There used to be a broadcaster named Lu Zhou. Are you referring to her? -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558329@0)

Wei Chen -thegirlbefore(Jane); 2019-12-25 (#12558548@0)

Oh. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558602@0)

也看刚学话时接触时间最长的老师口音，不可忽视老师及朋友的口音影响......遇上个印巴移民的就嘿嘿了，所以这里的英文课老师欧裔白人居多是有道理的，娃6岁来时英文从零开始学，是意裔的教，后来是德裔... -see1see(Isee); 2019-12-25 (#12558166@0)

语言是环境的产物。即使英文是第一语言，各地的英文都有它们自己的口音。 -bigboy(bigboy); 2019-12-25 (#12558174@0)

IMHO, accent is not as important as thinking in English. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558184@0) +1

记得娃来时的中文已能读寓言图书了，学英文最痛苦的可能不是单词/作文，而是思维的切换，经历过说话有点颠三倒四的过程，直到说梦话是英文后才算真正转换为英文思维... -see1see(Isee); 2019-12-25 (#12558210@0) +1

应该不只是你这么想吧？语言学习能力和年龄是正好成反比，记得我刚去广东那时也是，孩子才3岁，刚接过来，送幼儿园2个月就比我在广东2年说得好。 -liaison01(红桃A); 2019-12-25 (#12558120@0)

That's my question. Why older ppl cannot learn language well? -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558127@0)

成年人心不静 -bigbread(匹格); 2019-12-25 (#12558145@0)

I think it's the other way around. Kids 心不静. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558152@0)

母语思维的惯性太大，口腔发声肌肉也有惯性和深度记忆，还有面子与心理适应问题....孩子一张白纸，咋画都容易..... -see1see(Isee); 2019-12-25 (#12558173@0)

我在空气中生活快50年了，还是不会飞啊。 -bigbread(匹格); 2019-12-25 (#12558140@0)

You even learnt flying in the planes for many years.... -hipacific(Once upon a time); 2019-12-25 (#12558142@0) +1

是脑子问题，一个60多岁的英语老师如果在中国听说不行的话，语言上来加拿大基本不如20岁的文盲来加拿大学的快 -palwang2000(重在修心); 2019-12-25 (#12558164@0)

How can a language teacher have little listening and speaking ability? 😊 -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558176@0)

国内很多英语老师来了开始听说也都不好，如果60以后来几年下来进步也很little -palwang2000(重在修心); 2019-12-25 (#12558484@0)

老大太谦虚了。大堆12年级（17，8岁）成绩中上的学生英文比不上你。 -curve(curve); 2019-12-25 (#12558237@0)

I'm not talking about academic scores though. It's about using English in a natural way. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558287@0)

我就是说随便聊天或者实用性的写作，成绩差的学生更不行了。 -curve(curve); 2019-12-25 (#12558617@0)

做梦吧，这种事儿只能在梦里实现。回归现实，娶妻生子，享受人间快乐，虽穷也富有。 -111111(快乐老家); 2019-12-25 (#12558241@0)
当初落地时候就应该立下人生一目标：骗一个洋妞，你的英语一定比现在好上加好，做爱的语言也会丰富多彩。 -111111(快乐老家); 2019-12-25 (#12558245@0)
哪方面比不上? 口音就别指望了你，我们都不可能百分百。 -redneck(Cracker); 2019-12-25 (#12558246@0)

Not about accent. But the way we use the language. Many times I struggle to express some very basic things. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558282@0)

E.g.? -redneck(Cracker); 2019-12-25 (#12558353@0)

先入为主吧。 -starrystarrynight(StarryNight); 2019-12-25 (#12558278@0)
心态，你觉的好才能好。 -xz730000(笑一笑，十年少); 2019-12-25 (#12558284@0)
An English speaking partner would definitely solve this problem. -nowunderstood(whooweswho); 2019-12-25 (#12558506@0) +1

What are you suggesting? -redneck(Cracker); 2019-12-25 (#12558510@0)

mission possible? -nowunderstood(whooweswho); 2019-12-25 (#12558658@0)

来晚了，脑子里掌握语言里那块地方已经被填满了，除非把那块地方先清空。。。 -ding_ding(丁_丁); 2019-12-25 (#12558539@0)

LOL. Somehow true. Now I only use English interface on all my equipments. Trying to make some room... -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-12-25 (#12558607@0)

Think in a different dimensional way. you have unlimited room for languages. -nowunderstood(whooweswho); 2019-12-25 (#12558653@0) +1
