Listening

Many people struggle to understand a new language because they take the first step incorrectly.
Their method is to read subtitles of videos, focusing on sentences and looking up words.
This is called the "visual-first approach".
However, English is an auditory-dominant language.
The correct order should be to first listen to the original audio without subtitles.
Write down what you hear, then compare it with the transcript to analyze your mistakes.
Listen repeatedly until you can form a clear picture in your mind.

很多人听不懂英语，是因为第一步就错了
他们的方式是看字幕，专注句子查单字。
这叫“视觉优先”。
但是英语是听觉为主导的语言。
正确的顺序应该是：先听原声，不看字幕。
把听到的写下来，然后对照原文分析错误。
反复听直到脑中能浮现出画面。
