Take it slow 放慢节奏

不要让热情在最开始就耗尽



When the adventure of a new language starts, your enthusiasm knows no bounds. On the one hand, that’s something very positive. On the other hand, it’s important not to rely on enthusiasm alone.

当一门新的语言带来的挑战刚开始时，你的热情是无限的。一方面，这是很积极的事。另一方面，不单单依靠热情也是很重要的。

When the newness and initial excitement has worn off, you might not know where to find the motivation to learn. That’s why it’s necessary to steer your initial exuberance in the right direction, and not let it disappear like a flash in the pan.

当新鲜感和一开始的兴奋褪去，你可能就找不到学习的动机了。这就是为什么将你最初的情感控制在一个正确的方向是必要的，不要让它如同昙花一现般消失。



It’s better to take it slow - tame your enthusiasm and make sure that learning a language becomes a regular daily activity.

放慢节奏会更好——控制住你的热情度，确保学习语言成为一项有规律的日常活动。

Tips

Steer your initial exuberance in the right direction and make sure that learning a language becomes a regular daily activity. Ten minutes a day is better than full-on for a week and then nothing after that.

正确控制你最初的热情，确保学习语言成为一项有规律的日常活动。比起将一个星期的时间塞得满满当当，每天花十分钟的效果会更好。
