Tim Doner-Natsuki Sakamoto

 
I watched any video about him, and learned how he learning any language and how should I learn an additional language.

 Firstly, he uses any language every day. He considers language is a way of life. He spends most of the time learning English. I still think it is essential for us to make it a habit.

Secondly, he adopts audio output in his learning. He always output at home by using the internet, with loud voice. He watches videos and repeats what the actor said. He says that it enables him to learn any language effectively, and it is fun as well. He also said that even if there is no teacher with you, we can learn enough because we can use many stuffs like books, movies and computers. I guess what he would like to say is the most important thing when learning English is to have fun, enjoy.

Thirdly, he has a thought that once we learn a basic grammar, it easier to learn, so all we have to do is to learn a basic of the language. Then, we just use it without being afraid of making mistakes. This idea encouraged me.

He speaks over 20 lunguage, so some people think that Tim is talented in language, but I don’t think so. He always makes effort. Watching video is one of the efforts. He inspired me to do my best.

  3. The mind of enjoy and interest is very important. We are now in New Zealand because we love English, aren't we? I hope we can enjoy learning and improve our skills at the same time!

    1. Have a try! At First, we'll feel it's hard, but it will get easier little by little.

  5. Tim's idea about grammar is an interesting one, I think. Learn the essentials of it and then get out there and use what you know for 'meaning making' ie reflection and communication.
