經過一年多的時間學習英文
的確幫助很大
聽力覺得有進步，每次看到電影，
會聽得比以前清楚，而且會跟述幾句。
就算有的聽不懂，也能分別字與字之間的斷點。
以前聽真的都是糊在一起。
但是單字還是會忘記，有時間還是要複習一下
有時候會覺得自己發音會和聽到的不太一樣。
自己會做修正，希望能讓外國人聽不出來。
繼續持續努力中、、、

不需要特別背音標和字首、字根、字尾
語言本身就有一種在無意識狀態下自我領悟的傾向
看久用久自然就會，而且英文有例外的情況，
背會背不完。何況美國人從小也沒學音標。
( 以下取自 陳超明 政大英文系教授 pdf )
但可建立一套專屬自己的單字規則，可以從兩方面著手
1. 相同字母的發音：有些字母所標示的音會重複出現在其他單字上，
應該以類比的方式來大致「猜」出另一個字的發音，
如con-sider, con-trol, con-fess 等
2. 利用所知的字形（字首、字根、字尾）來協助熟悉類似的單字：
如describe 表示描述，以下幾個字都有-scribe，如inscribe （書寫）
、subscribe（簽名認可；捐獻、訂閱）、
prescribe（開藥方）等，除了scribe 發音都一樣外，
可見帶有–scribe 的字，含義都頗為接近（均帶有書寫、
劃記號的含義），而scribe 也就是所謂的字根。
3. 等到累積了相當的單字量後，就會看出某些單字的組成成分或發音
很雷同，可以據此發展自己的單字庫（發音與字形），有利於延伸
自己的單字認知，將單字歸類與儲存在自己的語料庫裡。
4. 沒有必要藉由字根字首字尾的字典來死背構字規則，
只要透過自行歸納與內化之後，自能形成一套最適用於自己的規則。
5. 使用單字永遠是掌握單字的最好方法，除了知道單字如何發
音之外，一定要自行造句。
