Li Yang is not a case. There is also a middle-aged man, Professor Zhong Daolong, who changed from "incomprehensible" to "translated" in a year and a half. He called his learning method "reverse English learning method".
Different from Li Yang's methods of blurting out and reciting, Professor Zhong Daolong emphasized the importance of listening. When learning Li Yang's English, we can basically learn from the understanding of pronunciation and phonetic symbols. Through a lot of recitation and input, you can get some English input, blurt it out and turn it into your own thing, so that every input you make becomes an output, which is actually more in line with the laws of most English learners. Professor Zhong Daolong's learning method is more painful, because you have to climb a flight of stairs to make yourself strong. Listening to a lot of content is easy to make people lose concentration and feel very tired. So I recommend Li Yang's English learning method.
First of all, you need to master the standard pronunciation system. You can learn the American Phonetic Alphabet of Lai Shixiong.
Second, after mastering the pronunciation system, I suggest that you have a certain foundation before you start reciting a lot. So I suggest reciting the new concept 1 to improve my sense of language. After learning the new concept 1, the grammar system has been established.
Third, learn to recite new concepts 2. This book can improve all your English grammar, so after reciting this book, you will find that all your English grammar has been solved.
Fourth, start reciting a lot of English original works.
Through the whole process, you can also get good English pronunciation and blurt it out in a year or even less.
Therefore, age should never be an obstacle to your study, but a catalyst to promote you to cherish time and learn quickly. I wish you a new journey on the road of English learning!
