对话内容

Conversation content

🕺: "嗨，大家好，欢迎回来！我是Leo。"

🕺: "Hi everyone, welcome back! I'm Leo."

💃: "大家好，我是Linh！很开心又和你们见面啦～"

💃: "Hello everyone, I'm Linh! I'm very happy to meet you again~"

🕺: "最近你每天都有在学中文吗？老实说，我有点偷懒了……"

🕺: "Have you been learning Chinese every day recently? To be honest, I've been a little lazy..."

💃: "哈哈，我也是！前几天学得很努力，但后来就……懒了。"

💃: "Haha, me too! I studied really hard in the first few days, but then I just got... lazy."

🕺: "对吧？其实我们不是不想学，是太忙、太累，或者根本不知道从哪儿开始。"

🕺: "Right? Actually, it's not that we don't want to learn, it's that we are too busy, too tired, or simply don't know where to start."

💃: "嗯，有时候我打开书，就觉得“啊，太多了”，然后就关上了……"

💃: "Well, sometimes I open a book and think "Ah, that's too much", and then I close it..."

🕺: "所以今天，我们想聊一个很实用的话题：怎么每天都能坚持学习？"

🕺: "So today, we want to talk about a very practical topic: How can we keep learning every day?"

💃: "对！我们不说大道理，今天就分享一些小方法，小技巧，简单又有效～"

💃: "Yes! We won't talk about big principles, today we will share some small methods and tips, simple and effective~"

🕺: "像那种“每天学五分钟”“边走路边听”这种，对吧？"

🕺: "Like the "learn five minutes a day" and "listen while walking" kind, right?"

💃: "对的对的！我发现，坚持其实不难，难的是开始。"

💃: "That's right! I found that persistence is not difficult, but the hard part is getting started."

🕺: "没错～如果你也常常“三天热度”，那今天这集一定适合你。"

🕺: "That's right~ If you often have a "three-day fever", then today's episode is definitely for you."

💃: "我们会分享一些我们自己的小习惯，还有一些朋友用过的好方法。"

💃: "We'll share some of our own little habits, as well as some good methods that some friends have used."

🕺: "希望听完以后，你也能找到适合自己的方式，坚持下去！"

🕺: "I hope that after listening to this, you can also find a way that suits you and stick to it!"

💃: "没错，我们一起加油吧！那我们开始今天的分享啦～"

💃: "That's right, let's work hard together! Then let's start today's sharing~"

🕺: "好的，Let’s go!"

🕺: "Okay, Let's go!"

🕺: "你知道我以前最大的问题是什么吗？"

🕺: "You know what my biggest problem used to be?"

💃: "什么？"

💃: "What?"

🕺: "我总想着“今天要学一个小时”，结果一点都没开始。"

🕺: "I always think "I will study for an hour today", but I never start at all."

💃: "哈哈哈，一模一样！我以前也这样，目标太大，压力也大，就不想动了。"

💃: "Hahaha, exactly the same! I used to be like this too, the goals were too big, the pressure was too great, and I just didn't want to move."

🕺: "所以后来我改了方法，我对自己说：“只学五分钟。”"

🕺: "So later I changed my method and said to myself: "Only study for five minutes.""

💃: "哇，五分钟？那不是很简单吗？"

💃: "Wow, five minutes? Isn't that easy?"

🕺: "对啊，简单才容易坚持。五分钟听一段音频，或者背几个词，感觉不难，就会开始。"

🕺: "Yes, it is easier to stick to something when it is simple. Just listen to an audio clip for five minutes, or memorize a few words, and if it doesn't seem difficult, you will start."

💃: "这个我喜欢～我现在也是这样，有时候学不进去，就告诉自己：“我只学一小会儿。"

💃: "I like this~ I am like this now, sometimes I can't concentrate on learning, so I tell myself: "I will only study for a short while."

🕺: "而且很多时候，我学着学着，就超过五分钟了。"

🕺: "And often, when I was learning, it took me more than five minutes."

💃: "是的呀，重点是“开始”，一旦开始了，就会自然多学一点。"

💃: "Yes, the key is to "start". Once you start, you will naturally learn more."

🕺: "对。我有一次只想学五分钟，结果听了一个小时的播客。"

🕺: "Yeah. I once only wanted to learn for five minutes, but ended up listening to an hour-long podcast."

💃: "哈哈，太棒了！这就像运动，穿上运动鞋出门了，就不容易放弃。"

💃: "Haha, that's great! It's like exercise. Once you put on your sneakers and go out, it's not easy to give up."

🕺: "没错，学习也是一种“启动模式”，一旦开始了，大脑就不会抗拒了。"

🕺: "Yes, learning is also a kind of "start-up mode". Once it starts, the brain will not resist."

💃: "那你会定一个固定的时间学习吗？"

💃: "Do you set a fixed time to study?"

🕺: "有时候会，比如每天早上起床后先学五分钟。你呢？"

🕺: "Sometimes, like studying for five minutes every morning after getting up. How about you?"

💃: "我通常是晚上睡前学一点，五分钟写个句子，或者复习一下单词。"

💃: "I usually study a little before going to bed at night, write a sentence for five minutes, or review some words."

🕺: "哇，这样也很好！一天结束前回顾一下，感觉很充实。"

🕺: "Wow, this is great! Looking back at the end of the day makes me feel fulfilled."

💃: "是啊，而且这样我也比较安心，不会觉得今天什么都没做。"

💃: "Yeah, and this way I feel more at ease and don't feel like I didn't accomplish anything today."

🕺: "那你学五分钟的时候，通常会做什么？"

🕺: "So what do you usually do when you study for five minutes?"

💃: "我会听一段简单的中文对话，或者用App背词。我喜欢那种“一天一个词”的模式。"

💃: "I would listen to a simple Chinese conversation or memorize words using an app. I like the "one word a day" model."

🕺: "哦，我也试过！还有那种“每日一句”，学一句有意思的中文。"

🕺: "Oh, I tried that too! There's also the "daily quote" where you can learn an interesting Chinese sentence."

💃: "对！有时候那一句话还很搞笑，记得特别牢。"

💃: "Yes! Sometimes that sentence is very funny and I remember it very clearly."

🕺: "哈哈，比如“我很穷，但我很快乐”那种句子？"

🕺: "Haha, like "I'm poor, but I'm happy" kind of sentence?"

💃: "哈哈哈，对对对！"

💃: "Hahaha, yes, yes, yes!"

🕺: "所以说，其实只要每天五分钟，不管学多少，关键是你在“动”。"

🕺: "So, in fact, it only takes five minutes a day. No matter how much you learn, the key is that you are "moving."

💃: "是的！我觉得五分钟有一个魔力，它帮我们打破懒惰。"

💃: "Yes! I think five minutes has a magic that helps us break laziness."

🕺: "嗯，而且当你连续做了几天，会有一种成就感。"

🕺: "Yeah, and when you do it for a few days in a row, you'll have a sense of accomplishment."

💃: "我现在有个习惯，我在日历上标记每天有学习的日子。"

💃: "I now have a habit of marking the days I study on my calendar."

🕺: "哇，好主意！像那种“打卡”一样对吧？"

🕺: "Wow, what a great idea! Like a "punch in" thing, right?"

💃: "对啊，我看到连续三天、五天、七天，心里就特别开心，想继续坚持。"

💃: "Yes, when I saw it lasting three, five, or seven days, I felt really happy and wanted to keep going."

🕺: "我有时候会发朋友圈，说“今天又学了五分钟中文！”"

🕺: "Sometimes I post on WeChat Moments, saying "I learned another five minutes of Chinese today!""

💃: "哇，你还拉人陪你一起学？"

💃: "Wow, you asked others to study with you?"

🕺: "有时候真的会有人留言说：“你坚持得真好，我也想试试看。”"

🕺: "Sometimes people will leave a message saying, "You are so persistent, I want to give it a try too.""

💃: "这也算是一种小小的影响力呢～"

💃: "This can be considered a small influence~"

🕺: "是啊，所以我现在不再要求自己学很多，我就问自己：“你今天学五分钟了吗？”"

🕺: "Yeah, so now I no longer ask myself to learn a lot, I just ask myself: "Have you learned for five minutes today?""

💃: "简单、有趣、没有压力，就会越学越想学。"

💃: "It's simple, fun, and stress-free. The more you learn, the more you want to learn."

🕺: "没错，我觉得我们应该推广这个“五分钟学习法”。"

🕺: "Yes, I think we should promote this "five-minute learning method"."

💃: "哈哈，说得好听，不过真的很有用！"

💃: "Haha, that sounds good, but it's really useful!"

🕺: "所以，正在听我们节目的朋友们，不要等明天，也不要等“有空”。"

🕺: "So, friends who are listening to our show, don't wait until tomorrow, and don't wait until you're "free.""

💃: "对，五分钟就够了。就现在，关掉节目后，拿出一本书，打开一个App，听一句中文，写一个词～"

💃: "Yes, five minutes is enough. Right now, after turning off the show, take out a book, open an app, listen to a Chinese sentence, and write a word~"

🕺: "就从现在开始！五分钟，真的不难～"

🕺: "Start now! Five minutes, it's really not difficult~"

💃: "一起坚持，加油！我们都可以做到的！"

💃: "Let's stick together and keep going! We can all do it!"

🕺: "加油加油～继续听下去，我们还有更多小方法要分享喔！"

🕺: "Keep on listening, we have more tips to share!"

💃: "对了，我还有一个小方法，我把学中文这件事，跟日常生活连在一起。"

💃: "By the way, I have another little trick. I connect learning Chinese with my daily life."

🕺: "哦？怎么连？"

🕺: "Oh? How do I connect?"

💃: "比如说，我每天早上刷牙的时候，会听中文播客。"

💃: "For example, I listen to a Chinese podcast every morning while I brush my teeth."

🕺: "哇，这样利用时间，好聪明啊。"

🕺: "Wow, what a smart way to use your time."

💃: "是啊，反正刷牙也不能干别的，就顺便听一点，哪怕听不懂全部，耳朵也在“适应”。"

💃: "Yeah, since I can't do anything else while brushing my teeth, I can just listen a little bit. Even if I don't understand everything, my ears are "adapting"."

🕺: "嗯，有道理。我之前坐公交车的时候，也会打开一个学习App复习词汇。"

🕺: "Yeah, that makes sense. When I was taking the bus before, I would open a learning app to review vocabulary."

💃: "你看，这种碎片时间，其实很多。洗碗、走路、等电梯都可以用来学一点。"

💃: "You see, there is actually a lot of fragmented time like this. Washing dishes, walking, waiting for the elevator can all be used to learn a little."

🕺: "我还有一个奇怪的小习惯。"

🕺: "I also have a weird little habit."

💃: "哈哈，什么奇怪的？"

💃: "Haha, what's weird?"

🕺: "我上厕所的时候会看中文短视频。"

🕺: "I watch Chinese short videos when I go to the toilet."

💃: "哈哈哈，你太真实了！不过挺有效的啊～"

💃: "Hahaha, you are so real! But it is quite effective~"

🕺: "是啊，我就看那种一两分钟的小故事，用词不难，看看也不累。"

🕺: "Yeah, I just read those short stories that are only one or two minutes long. The words used are not difficult and I don't feel tired reading them."

💃: "这让我想到，我有时候做饭的时候，也会跟着读中文食谱。"

💃: "This reminds me that sometimes when I cook, I also read Chinese recipes."

🕺: "哇，这也可以？"

🕺: "Wow, this is possible?"

💃: "当然啦，我用的是那种教学食谱，视频里会一边做菜一边说中文，我就跟着学。"

💃: "Of course, I used the kind of instructional recipes where the chef would speak Chinese while cooking in the video, and I just followed along."

🕺: "原来你是边煮饭边学语言，太厉害了～"

🕺: "So you learned the language while cooking, so amazing~"

💃: "没有啦，其实就是“顺手”，不刻意反而更自然。"

💃: "No, it's just a matter of time. It's more natural if you don't try too hard."

🕺: "你说得对。我们不是要找“额外的时间”，而是把中文“放进生活里”。"

🕺: "You are right. We are not looking for "extra time", but to "put Chinese into our lives"."

💃: "对，把它变成一种“生活的一部分”。"

💃: "Yes, make it a part of life."

🕺: "我现在早上喝咖啡的时候，会看一篇中文短文。"

🕺: "I now read a short Chinese article while drinking my morning coffee."

💃: "那种“一分钟小文章”？"

💃: "That kind of 'one-minute article'?"

🕺: "对，或者是一句话，有时候就一句：“今天的天气很好。”也算学了。"

🕺: "Yes, or a sentence, sometimes just one sentence: "Today's weather is very good." It counts as learning."

💃: "哈哈，我觉得语言学习最怕的不是慢，而是不动。"

💃: "Haha, I think the most frightening thing about language learning is not being slow, but not taking any action."

🕺: "对啊！所以哪怕是一点点，只要在动，就比停在那里强。"

🕺: "Yeah! So even if it's just a little bit, as long as it's moving, it's better than just standing there."

💃: "我朋友还告诉我，她会在手机桌面放一句中文“提醒语”。"

💃: "My friend also told me that she would put a Chinese "reminder" on her phone desktop."

🕺: "哦～像什么？"

🕺: "Oh~ like what?"

💃: "比如“别放弃，加油学中文！”或者“你今天说中文了吗？"

💃: "For example, "Don't give up, keep learning Chinese!" or "Did you speak Chinese today?"

🕺: "这个好欸，每次解锁手机都会看到，潜意识里就提醒自己了。"

🕺: "This is great. I'll see it every time I unlock my phone, and it'll remind me subconsciously."

💃: "对，有时候我看到那句话，就会顺手读一遍，算是一种“唤醒”。"

💃: "Yes, sometimes when I see that sentence, I will read it again, which is a kind of "awakening"."

🕺: "我想到一个更搞笑的，我给我家的冰箱贴了一张纸条，上面写“冰箱不说中文”。"

🕺: "I thought of something even funnier. I put a note on my fridge saying "The fridge doesn't speak Chinese."

💃: "哈哈哈哈，太可爱了～"

💃: "Hahahaha, so cute~"

🕺: "每次想偷吃零食，就看到那句话，提醒我：去学中文，不要一直吃！"

🕺: "Every time I want to sneak some snacks, I see that sentence, reminding me: go learn Chinese, don't keep eating!"

💃: "你太有创意了啦！"

💃: "You are so creative!"

🕺: "所以说，把语言学习“藏”在我们每天的动作里，就不会觉得累。"

🕺: "So, if we hide language learning in our daily actions, we won't feel tired."

💃: "嗯，而且这种小细节，会变成一种“习惯性学习”。"

💃: "Well, and these small details will become a kind of "habitual learning"."

🕺: "对，我们不需要一直坐下来认真学，只要生活里有，就足够了。"

🕺: "Yes, we don't need to sit down and study seriously all the time, as long as we have it in our lives, it's enough."

💃: "而且更有趣，不容易放弃～"

💃: "And it's more fun and not easy to give up~"

🕺: "所以大家可以想想：你每天有什么固定的小动作？能不能顺便加一点中文进去？"

🕺: "So everyone can think about this: What small actions do you do every day? Can you add some Chinese to them?"

💃: "就像刷牙、吃饭、走路、等人……很多机会其实都可以利用起来。"

💃: "Just like brushing teeth, eating, walking, waiting for someone... a lot of opportunities can actually be utilized."

🕺: "一开始可能不习惯，但坚持几天就觉得很自然了。"

🕺: "You may not be used to it at first, but after a few days it will feel natural."

💃: "嗯，中文就会慢慢融进生活～"

💃: "Well, Chinese will slowly integrate into our lives~"

🕺: "没错，每天一点点，生活中到处都是“学习的机会”。"

🕺: "Yes, a little bit every day, life is full of "learning opportunities"."

💃: "越生活化，越容易坚持！"

💃: "The more lifelike it is, the easier it is to stick to it!"

🕺: "你说得太好了～那我们继续来聊下一个小技巧吧～"

🕺: "You said it very well~ Let's move on to the next little trick~"

🕺: "你有没有写过那种学习清单？就是每天要做的小任务？"

🕺: "Have you ever written a study list? Just little tasks to do every day?"

💃: "有啊，我现在每天都会写。像是“背三个词”“听五分钟”“写一句话”。"

💃: "Yes, I write every day now. Like "memorize three words", "listen for five minutes", "write a sentence."

🕺: "哇，好具体。我以前写的太复杂，后来都放弃了。"

🕺: "Wow, so detailed. I gave up on writing something too complicated before."

💃: "哈哈，我一开始也写得太多，后来才发现，要写“最简单”的。"

💃: "Haha, I wrote too much at the beginning, but later I realized that I should write the "simplest" ones."

🕺: "对对对，像你说的那种：“背三个词”听起来就很轻松。"

🕺: "Yes, yes, yes, like what you said: "Memorize three words" sounds easy."

💃: "是的，重点是做得到，不是吓到自己。"

💃: "Yes, the key is to be able to do it, not to scare yourself."

🕺: "那你完成一个任务后，会打勾吗？"

🕺: "When you complete a task, do you tick it?"

💃: "会啊，我会用彩色的笔打勾，还画个笑脸～"

💃: "Yes, I will tick with colored pens and draw a smiley face~"

🕺: "哈哈，好可爱。我用贴纸，每完成一个小目标，就贴一个星星。"

🕺: "Haha, so cute. I use stickers, and every time I complete a small goal, I put a star on it."

💃: "哇，这种感觉特别有成就感对不对？"

💃: "Wow, this feels really fulfilling, right?"

🕺: "超有的！看到那一排排的勾和贴纸，就觉得“哇，我坚持下来了”。"

🕺: "Amazing! When I saw those rows of ticks and stickers, I thought, "Wow, I made it through.""

💃: "我现在每天早上起来第一件事，就是看清单，今天要做哪三件小事。"

💃: "The first thing I do every morning when I wake up is to look at the list and see what three small things I need to do today."

🕺: "我是晚上睡觉前检查自己有没有完成。"

🕺: "I check whether I have completed it before going to bed at night."

💃: "有时候我实在太累，就只做一个任务，也没关系。"

💃: "Sometimes I'm just too tired to do one task, that's ok."

🕺: "对啊，不是每天都要完美，而是每天都有动一点点。"

🕺: "Yeah, it doesn't mean you have to be perfect every day, but you have to move a little bit every day."

💃: "而且写清单还有个好处：不会“忘记学”。"

💃: "And there's another benefit to writing a list: you won't "forget to learn"."

🕺: "嗯，我以前总是说“等一下再学”，结果一整天就过去了。"

🕺: "Well, I used to always say "I'll learn later", and the whole day would pass by."

💃: "哈哈，我懂，我也常常一拖再拖。现在有了清单，就清楚知道今天该干嘛。"

💃: "Haha, I understand. I often procrastinate too. Now that I have a list, I know exactly what I should do today."

🕺: "你有没有尝试那种“打卡挑战”？比如连续七天做完清单。"

🕺: "Have you ever tried a "check-in challenge"? Like completing your list seven days in a row?"

💃: "有欸，我现在在参加一个“21天习惯养成”挑战，每天坚持一件小事。"

💃: "Yes, I am currently participating in a "21-day habit formation" challenge, doing one small thing every day."

🕺: "太棒了，我也来试试看！"

🕺: "Great, I'll give it a try!"

💃: "你可以从简单的开始，比如“今天听一段中文”“今天说一个句子”。"

💃: "You can start with something simple, such as "Listen to a Chinese passage today" or "Say a sentence today."

🕺: "那我今天就开始写清单，用笔记本记下来～"

🕺: "Then I will start making a list today and write it down in a notebook~"

💃: "不一定要用笔记本，你也可以用手机，或者贴在墙上。"

💃: "You don't have to use a laptop, you can also use a phone, or stick it on the wall."

🕺: "哦对，我在冰箱门上贴了一张纸，可以写每天的计划。"

🕺: "Oh yeah, I put a piece of paper on the refrigerator door to write down my daily plans."

💃: "你那个冰箱好忙喔，又提醒你不要偷吃，又提醒你学中文～"

💃: "Your refrigerator is so busy, reminding you not to eat secretly, and reminding you to learn Chinese~"

🕺: "哈哈哈，对，它是我最忠实的“学习伙伴”。"

🕺: "Hahaha, yes, it is my most loyal "study partner.""

💃: "不过说真的，这种视觉提醒真的很有用。"

💃: "Seriously though, this visual reminder is really helpful."

🕺: "对，我一看到那张清单，就知道“今天还有任务没完成”。"

🕺: "Yes, as soon as I saw that list, I knew that there were still tasks to be completed today."

💃: "而且我觉得，写清单还有一个心理上的力量。"

💃: "And I think there's a psychological power to making lists."

🕺: "什么意思？"

🕺: "What do you mean?"

💃: "就是当你写下来，你的大脑会更认真对待那件事。"

💃: "When you write something down, your brain takes it more seriously."

🕺: "哦～有点像对自己“承诺”。"

🕺: "Oh~ It's a bit like a "promise" to myself."

💃: "对的！你写了，你就更容易去做。"

💃: "Right! Once you write it, it will be easier for you to do it."

🕺: "我今天就试着写三个任务，然后明天继续。"

🕺: "I'll try to finish three tasks today and continue tomorrow."

💃: "好呀，慢慢来，先三天，再五天，再七天……"

💃: "Okay, take it slow, first three days, then five days, then seven days..."

🕺: "我们可以来个比赛，看谁能坚持得久。"

🕺: "We can have a competition to see who can last the longest."

💃: "哈哈，那你准备好输了吗？"

💃: "Haha, are you ready to lose?"

🕺: "哇，好有挑战性，那我一定要加油！"

🕺: "Wow, this is really challenging. I must try my best!"

💃: "加油吧，我们一起在清单上打很多勾勾！"

💃: "Come on, let's tick a lot of boxes on our list together!"

🕺: "好，打勾打到停不下来～继续听下去，我们还有更多小方法等着大家～"

🕺: "Okay, keep ticking until you can't stop~ Keep listening, we have more little tricks waiting for you~"

🕺: "你有没有觉得，有时候一个人学真的很难坚持？"

🕺: "Do you ever feel that it's hard to stick to studying alone?"

💃: "有欸，特别是累的时候，就很容易放弃。"

💃: "Yes, especially when you are tired, it is easy to give up."

🕺: "所以我后来找了一个一起学中文的朋友。我们每天都会互相提醒。"

🕺: "So I later found a friend to learn Chinese with. We would remind each other every day."

💃: "哇，这样真的很有用耶。我之前也加过一个学习小组，我们每天在群里发“我今天学了什么”。"

💃: "Wow, this is really useful. I joined a study group before, and we posted "What I learned today" in the group every day."

🕺: "这样会觉得有人陪着你，就不会那么孤单。"

🕺: "This way you will feel like someone is with you and you won't feel so lonely."

💃: "对啊，而且你看到别人都在学，你也不好意思偷懒。"

💃: "Yeah, and when you see others learning, you feel embarrassed to be lazy."

🕺: "哈哈，尤其是当你已经说出口“我要坚持”的时候，就更想做到。"

🕺: "Haha, especially when you have already said "I will stick to it", you want to do it even more."

💃: "嗯，我那个学习群里还有个“打卡王”，每天都很认真，看到她打卡，我也跟着来劲了。"

💃: "Well, there is a "punch-in king" in my study group. She is very serious every day. When I see her punching in, I get excited too."

🕺: "这就像健身一样，有人陪跑，你就更有动力。"

🕺: "It's like working out. If you have someone running with you, you'll be more motivated."

💃: "没错，而且可以一起讨论，比如“这个词什么意思？”“你今天听哪一段了？"

💃: "Yes, and we can discuss together, such as "What does this word mean?" "Which part did you listen to today?"

🕺: "对，我有时候听不懂一段对话，就会发给我朋友问：“你能听懂吗？”"

🕺: "Yes, sometimes I don't understand a conversation, so I will send it to my friends and ask: "Can you understand it?""

💃: "学语言最需要这种互动。一个人闷头学，很容易卡住。"

💃: "Learning a language requires this kind of interaction the most. If you study alone, you will easily get stuck."

🕺: "而且你知道吗？我们还会玩“角色扮演”游戏，一个人说中文，一个人回答。"

🕺: "And you know what? We also play a "role-playing" game where one person speaks Chinese and one person answers."

💃: "哈哈，好像在演小短剧哦～"

💃: "Haha, it seems like they are acting out a skit~"

🕺: "对，很好玩。我们用很简单的句子，比如“你今天吃什么？"

🕺: "Yes, it's fun. We use very simple sentences, such as "What did you eat today?"

🕺: "”“我吃米饭。”"

🕺: """I eat rice.""

💃: "这种对话最实用了，而且越说越顺。"

💃: "This kind of conversation is the most practical, and it gets smoother the more you talk."

🕺: "我还记得有一次我们玩“去饭店点菜”，我说：“我要一碗牛肉面。”结果她说：“没有牛肉。"

🕺: "I still remember one time we played "ordering food at a restaurant" and I said, "I want a bowl of beef noodles." She said, "There's no beef."

💃: "哈哈哈哈，太真实了～"

💃: "Hahahaha, this is so real~"

🕺: "就这样边玩边学，比背课本有趣多了。"

🕺: "Learning while playing is much more fun than memorizing textbooks."

💃: "我小时候学英语也是跟同学互相写纸条，每天一句小句子。"

💃: "When I was a kid, I learned English by writing notes to each other with my classmates, one short sentence every day."

🕺: "哇，这种方法也可以用来学中文呀！"

🕺: "Wow, this method can also be used to learn Chinese!"

💃: "是啊，我现在也在做“交换日记”，我写一句中文，她改错，然后她写一句我来改。"

💃: "Yeah, I'm also doing the "Exchange Diary" now. I write a sentence in Chinese, she corrects it, and then she writes a sentence and I correct it."

🕺: "这样不仅练写，还练“纠错能力”。"

🕺: "This not only helps you practice writing, but also helps you practice your "error correction ability.""

💃: "而且更容易记住，哪怕是错的，也会印象深刻。"

💃: "It is also easier to remember, and even if it is wrong, it will be impressive."

🕺: "有时候错误反而帮我们记得更牢。"

🕺: "Sometimes mistakes help us remember better."

💃: "对，所以不要怕错，要敢说敢写。"

💃: "Right, so don't be afraid of making mistakes, be brave to speak and write."

🕺: "有人一起学，你就不怕出错，因为大家都在学。"

🕺: "If you have someone to learn with, you won't be afraid of making mistakes because everyone is learning."

💃: "没错，而且还能互相鼓励。有人说“你今天进步了”，你就更想继续。"

💃: "Yes, and it can also encourage each other. When someone says "You made progress today", you will want to continue."

🕺: "我朋友昨天跟我说：“你现在说中文越来越自然了。”我听了好开心！"

🕺: "My friend said to me yesterday: "You are speaking Chinese more and more naturally now." I was so happy to hear that!"

💃: "是啊，这种正面的反馈真的很重要。"

💃: "Yeah, this kind of positive feedback is really important."

🕺: "所以我觉得，找一个学习伙伴，真的可以让我们走得更远。"

🕺: "So I think finding a study partner can really help us go further."

💃: "不一定要每天见面，线上聊天也很好。"

💃: "You don't have to meet every day, chatting online is also good."

🕺: "对，有时候只是一句“你今天学了吗？”就足够了。"

🕺: "Yes, sometimes just a "Did you learn today?" is enough."

💃: "简简单单一句话，就能提醒我们不要放弃。"

💃: "Just one simple sentence can remind us not to give up."

🕺: "我们可以鼓励听节目的朋友们，也试试看找一个语言搭档～"

🕺: "We can encourage friends who listen to the program to try to find a language partner~"

💃: "一起打卡、一起学、一起犯错、一起进步～"

💃: "Check in together, learn together, make mistakes together, and make progress together~"

🕺: "有人同行，路就不会那么难走了～"

🕺: "With someone walking with you, the road won't be so difficult~"

💃: "加油，我们下一个方法也很实用，一定要继续听哦！"

💃: "Come on, our next method is also very practical, be sure to keep listening!"

🕺: "我最近开始做一个新习惯，每天晚上睡前写一点学习日记。"

🕺: "I recently started a new habit of writing a little study diary every night before going to bed."

💃: "哇，听起来不错欸。你都写些什么？"

💃: "Wow, that sounds great. What do you write about?"

🕺: "很简单，比如我今天学了哪些词、听了什么内容、有没有进步。"

🕺: "It's very simple, such as what words I learned today, what content I listened to, and whether I have made any progress."

💃: "哇，那你每天都能坚持吗？"

💃: "Wow, can you stick to it every day?"

🕺: "一开始很难，但我发现写一点点就好，不需要写很多。"

🕺: "It was hard at first, but I found that writing a little bit was enough, not a lot."

💃: "嗯，这种方式也可以帮你回顾一天的学习。"

💃: "Well, this method can also help you review your day's learning."

🕺: "对，还有一种成就感。看到自己每天都有在学，就觉得“我真的在进步”。"

🕺: "Yes, there is also a sense of accomplishment. Seeing that I am learning every day, I feel that "I am really making progress."

💃: "我以前用一个App，里面有“连续学习天数”的功能。"

💃: "I used to use an app that had a "consecutive study days" function."

🕺: "哦？那种不是如果你每天都有学，就会显示“1天、2天、3天……”那种？"

🕺: "Oh? Isn't it the kind that if you study every day, it will show "1 day, 2 days, 3 days..."?"

💃: "对对对！每次看到数字增加，我就特别有动力～"

💃: "Yes, yes, yes! Every time I see the numbers increase, I get really motivated~"

🕺: "哈哈，我懂，我现在也用那种App，有时候我就是为了“不断签”才打开来看一下。"

🕺: "Haha, I understand. I use that kind of app now, too. Sometimes I just open it to check it out just to "keep signing in."

💃: "很多时候我们缺的不是时间，是一种“仪式感”。"

💃: "Many times what we lack is not time, but a sense of ritual."

🕺: "对，哪怕只是打一个勾，贴一个小贴纸，心里也会觉得“我做到了”。"

🕺: "Yes, even if it's just a check mark or a small sticker, I will feel "I did it" in my heart."

💃: "我现在有一个月历，上面每天贴不同颜色的小星星。红色代表“学词汇”，蓝色代表“听力”，绿色是“写句子”。"

💃: "I now have a monthly calendar with a different colored star on it for each day. Red stands for "learning vocabulary", blue stands for "listening", and green stands for "writing sentences."

🕺: "哇，好有趣，这样一看就知道自己哪方面学得多，哪方面要加强。"

🕺: "Wow, this is so interesting. This way you can know at a glance what you have learned more and what you need to improve on."

💃: "是啊，而且视觉上看得见的东西，会一直提醒我。"

💃: "Yeah, and the visual things will always remind me."

🕺: "我以前觉得写东西很麻烦，但后来发现，其实一句话就够了。"

🕺: "I used to think writing was troublesome, but later I found that one sentence is enough."

💃: "对啊，不需要写作文，只要写一句“我今天学了‘天气’这个词”也可以。"

💃: "Yes, you don't need to write an essay, just write a sentence like "I learned the word 'weather' today"."

🕺: "有一次我连续十天都写了小日记，我回头看，真的好感动。"

🕺: "Once I kept a diary for ten consecutive days. When I looked back, I was really moved."

💃: "哈哈，是不是觉得自己特别棒？"

💃: "Haha, do you think you're awesome?"

🕺: "对！然后我还发现我第一天写的句子好多错，到第十天就自然顺了。"

🕺: "Yes! Then I also found that there were many mistakes in the sentences I wrote on the first day, but by the tenth day, everything became smoother."

💃: "所以说，记录真的很重要！它能帮你看到自己的成长。"

💃: "So, recording is really important! It can help you see your own growth."

🕺: "而且不需要完美，就写你能写的，不用担心语法对不对。"

🕺: "And it doesn't need to be perfect, just write what you can write and don't worry about whether the grammar is correct."

💃: "嗯嗯，我也觉得“写出来”比什么都重要。"

💃: "Yeah, I also think that "writing it down" is more important than anything else."

🕺: "有时候我还会加一点情绪进去，比如“今天上班很累，但我还是坚持学了5分钟。”"

🕺: "Sometimes I would add some emotions, such as "I was very tired at work today, but I still insisted on studying for 5 minutes.""

💃: "哇，那以后你回头看，会觉得很有力量。"

💃: "Wow, when you look back on that, you'll feel so powerful."

🕺: "对！这也是我坚持写的原因之一。"

🕺: "Yes! This is one of the reasons why I insist on writing."

💃: "我觉得你可以在社交媒体上分享你的学习日记，说不定还能鼓励别人。"

💃: "I think you can share your study diary on social media, maybe it can encourage others."

🕺: "哈哈，我试过，结果真的有人留言说“看了你每天都在学，我也开始学了”。"

🕺: "Haha, I tried it, and someone actually left a message saying "I saw you learning every day, so I started learning too."

💃: "太棒了～原来我们的小努力，也能影响别人。"

💃: "Great~ It turns out that our small efforts can also influence others."

🕺: "所以说，不要小看“每天记录一下”，它不只是记录，更是一种“坚持的证明”。"

🕺: "So, don't underestimate "recording every day". It is not just a record, but also a "proof of persistence."

💃: "我现在回头看之前的打卡记录，都觉得好有成就感。"

💃: "Now when I look back at my previous check-in records, I feel a great sense of accomplishment."

🕺: "嗯，每一个“今天我也学了”，就是向前走了一步。"

🕺: "Well, every "I also learned today" is a step forward."

💃: "不管多慢，只要继续，就已经比停下来强。"

💃: "No matter how slow you are, as long as you keep going, it's better than stopping."

🕺: "所以我们现在建议大家，也来试试看：用你喜欢的方式，写一点点，记下来。"

🕺: "So we now recommend that everyone give it a try: write a little bit in the way you like and write it down."

💃: "不用长、不用难，只要你写，就已经很棒了。"

💃: "It doesn't have to be long or difficult, as long as you write it, it's already great."

🕺: "学语言，不是看你学多少，而是看你能不能“每天一点点”。"

🕺: "Learning a language is not about how much you learn, but whether you can learn a little bit every day."

💃: "没错，我们都在路上，一起坚持吧～"

💃: "Yes, we are all on the road, let's stick to it together~"

🕺: "下一段，我们会聊到一个很多人都忘记的关键，希望你不要错过～"

🕺: "In the next section, we will talk about a key point that many people have forgotten. I hope you don't miss it~"

💃: "你知道吗？很多人学不下去，其实不是因为没时间，是因为太“用力”了。"

💃: "Do you know? Many people can't continue learning, not because they don't have time, but because they try too hard."

🕺: "嗯，我以前就是那样。一学就想学很多，结果累了，就完全不想碰。"

🕺: "Yeah, I used to be like that. I wanted to learn a lot when I started, but when I got tired, I didn't want to touch it at all."

💃: "对啊，学语言不是比赛，看谁学得快，而是要舒服、轻松一点。"

💃: "Yes, learning a language is not a competition to see who can learn faster, but it should be comfortable and relaxed."

🕺: "我记得有一次我连续学了两个小时，第二天头都痛了，一点都不想继续。"

🕺: "I remember one time I studied for two hours straight, and the next day I had a headache and didn't want to continue at all."

💃: "哈哈，我也是。以前我会觉得“我要一天学十个单词”，结果第二天就忘光了。"

💃: "Haha, me too. I used to think "I'm going to learn 10 words a day" and then forget them all the next day."

🕺: "所以后来我开始慢慢来，每天就学三四个词，而且不强迫自己。"

🕺: "So I started taking it slow, learning three or four words a day, and not forcing myself."

💃: "对，“轻轻学、慢慢来”才是长期坚持的秘诀。"

💃: "Yes, "learning gently and taking your time" is the secret to long-term persistence."

🕺: "你会不会有时候什么都不想学？"

🕺: "Do you ever feel like learning nothing?"

💃: "会啊～有时候太忙、太烦，根本不想打开课本。"

💃: "Yes~ Sometimes I am too busy or annoyed to even open the textbook."

🕺: "那你会怎么做？"

🕺: "So what would you do?"

💃: "我就听一首中文歌，或者看一段中文视频，不看字幕，随便听听。"

💃: "I just listen to a Chinese song or watch a Chinese video without looking at the subtitles, just listen casually."

🕺: "嗯，有时候不需要“很认真”，只是让中文在耳边转一转，也算学习了。"

🕺: "Well, sometimes you don't need to be "very serious", just letting Chinese go around in your ears is also considered learning."

💃: "对，关键是让大脑保持在“中文环境”里，而不是给它压力。"

💃: "Yes, the key is to keep your brain in a "Chinese environment" instead of putting pressure on it."

🕺: "我觉得这点很重要。有些人太想学好，反而让自己学不下去。"

🕺: "I think this is very important. Some people want to learn so much that they can't continue learning."

💃: "对呀，太用力就会太累，太累就容易放弃。"

💃: "Yes, if you try too hard, you will be too tired, and if you are too tired, you will easily give up."

🕺: "所以现在我告诉自己：每天做一点，不用完美，不用全部理解。"

🕺: "So now I tell myself: do a little bit every day, no need to be perfect, no need to understand everything."

💃: "嗯，哪怕只学一个新词，也很好。"

💃: "Yeah, even if I only learn one new word, it's great."

🕺: "而且有时候什么都不做，也没关系。休息一天，调整一下，也是一种学习节奏。"

🕺: "And sometimes it's okay to do nothing. Taking a day off and adjusting is also a learning rhythm."

💃: "对，不要把学习变成“负担”，它应该是轻松、愉快的。"

💃: "Yes, don't turn learning into a "burden", it should be easy and enjoyable."

🕺: "我朋友以前每天都逼自己学两个小时，后来崩溃了，一个月都不想碰中文。"

🕺: "My friend used to force himself to study for two hours every day, but then he broke down and didn't want to touch Chinese for a month."

💃: "哇，这种“爆发式学习”最可怕。"

💃: "Wow, this kind of "explosive learning" is the most terrifying."

🕺: "所以我们现在的方式比较好：每次一点点，慢慢来，不急。"

🕺: "So our current approach is better: a little bit at a time, take your time, don't rush."

💃: "而且心态放松了，反而记得更牢。"

💃: "And when you relax, you remember things better."

🕺: "是的。我发现有时候我边散步边听中文，那种“随意听”的效果还不错。"

🕺: "Yes. I find that sometimes I listen to Chinese while walking, and that kind of "casual listening" is quite effective."

💃: "对，像我们刚刚说的，把学习藏在生活里，而不是变成一种任务。"

💃: "Yes, like we just said, hide learning in life instead of turning it into a task."

🕺: "你会不会在学不进去的时候，干脆去做别的事？"

🕺: "When you can't concentrate on your studies, do you just do something else?"

💃: "会啊。我会去泡杯茶，或者看看风景，五分钟后回来继续。"

💃: "Yes. I'll go make a cup of tea or look at the scenery and come back in five minutes to continue."

🕺: "这样也好，休息一下，换个状态。"

🕺: "It's good this way, take a break and change your state."

💃: "学语言要有节奏，有时候快一点，有时候慢一点。"

💃: "Learning a language requires a rhythm, sometimes faster, sometimes slower."

🕺: "嗯，就像呼吸一样～不能一直吸气，也要吐气。"

🕺: "Well, it's just like breathing. You can't just keep breathing in, you have to breathe out."

💃: "哈哈，你这个比喻真好～"

💃: "Haha, your analogy is really good~"

🕺: "所以我们要学会放松，学会原谅自己偶尔“没做到”。"

🕺: "So we need to learn to relax and forgive ourselves for occasionally "not doing it."

💃: "对，重要的不是每天完美，而是每天都还在这条路上。"

💃: "Yes, what's important is not being perfect every day, but staying on this path every day."

🕺: "我们不是机器人，我们是人。累的时候可以慢一点。"

🕺: "We are not robots, we are human. We can slow down when we are tired."

💃: "但不要停。哪怕只是听一句、看一眼，也算前进。"

💃: "But don't stop. Even if you just listen to one sentence or take a look, it's considered progress."

🕺: "所以说，不要太用力，也不要太责怪自己。"

🕺: "So, don't push yourself too hard, and don't blame yourself too much."

💃: "温柔地对待自己，温柔地对待中文。"

💃: "Be gentle to yourself and be gentle to Chinese."

🕺: "哈哈，说得真好～那我们继续，看看还有什么小秘诀可以分享～"

🕺: "Haha, that's a great point~ Let's continue and see if there are any other tips you can share~"

🕺: "我觉得我们今天说的这些方法，其实都不难，关键是要开始做。"

🕺: "I think the methods we talked about today are not difficult. The key is to start doing it."

💃: "对，每天做一点点，五分钟、一个词、一句话，都是进步。"

💃: "Yes, do a little bit every day, five minutes, one word, one sentence, it's all progress."

🕺: "嗯，像我现在就觉得很安心，因为我知道我今天已经学了。"

🕺: "Well, I feel relieved now because I know I have learned something today."

💃: "哈哈，我也是，我刚才已经听了一小段中文播客，算是完成了任务～"

💃: "Haha, me too. I just listened to a short Chinese podcast, so I've completed my mission~"

🕺: "而且不是那种“我必须学”，而是“我愿意学”，感觉完全不一样。"

🕺: "And it's not the kind of "I must learn", but "I am willing to learn", the feeling is completely different."

💃: "是啊，学习本来就应该是有趣的，而不是痛苦的。"

💃: "Yeah, learning should be fun, not painful."

🕺: "那我们今天一共讲了几个方法？"

🕺: "So how many methods did we talk about today?"

💃: "让我想想……五分钟原则、生活中学习、写清单、找学习伙伴、写学习记录、不用太用力……差不多六七个了！"

💃: "Let me think... five-minute rule, learning in life, making lists, finding study partners, keeping study records, don't try too hard... that's about six or seven!"

🕺: "每一个方法看起来都很简单，但只要坚持做，就会产生变化。"

🕺: "Each method may seem simple, but as long as you stick to it, changes will occur."

💃: "对，而且可以混着用。比如今天听音频，明天写句子，后天学三个词。"

💃: "Yes, and you can mix them up. For example, listen to audio today, write sentences tomorrow, and learn three words the day after tomorrow."

🕺: "这样也不会腻，每天都不一样，有新鲜感。"

🕺: "I won't get tired of it this way. It's different every day and it feels fresh."

💃: "其实学习不是跑步，而是走路，慢慢走，也能到目的地。"

💃: "In fact, learning is not running, but walking. Even if you walk slowly, you can still reach your destination."

🕺: "嗯，重要的是别停。"

🕺: "Well, the important thing is not to stop."

💃: "对～哪怕你今天只看了一句中文，也可以对自己说“我今天进步了”。"

💃: "Yes~ Even if you only read one sentence in Chinese today, you can still say to yourself "I have made progress today.""

🕺: "所以大家不要小看自己的努力，每一个小动作，都是未来的大进步。"

🕺: "So don't underestimate your efforts. Every small action will lead to great progress in the future."

💃: "我们能做到，听节目的你们也一定可以做到！"

💃: "If we can do it, you who are listening to the show can definitely do it too!"

🕺: "如果你听到这里，说明你已经学了很多～"

🕺: "If you've heard this, it means you've learned a lot~"

💃: "没错，我们现在可以一起回顾一下今天的关键词："

💃: "Yes, now we can review today's keywords together:"

🕺: "好，第一个是“坚持”。"

🕺: "Okay, the first one is "persistence."

💃: "第二个是“轻松”。"

💃: "The second one is "easy."

🕺: "第三个是“每天一点点”。"

🕺: "The third one is "a little bit every day."

💃: "第四个是“不要完美”。"

💃: "The fourth one is "Don't be perfect.""

🕺: "第五个，“生活就是最好的课堂”。"

🕺: "The fifth one is, "Life is the best classroom."

💃: "记住这些词，也记住今天的感觉～慢慢来，别放弃。"

💃: "Remember these words, and remember how you feel today ~ take your time, don't give up."

🕺: "如果你愿意，可以留言告诉我们：你最喜欢哪一个小方法？"

🕺: "If you like, you can leave a message to tell us: Which little trick do you like best?"

💃: "也可以说说你有没有自己的学习小秘诀，我们一起交流～"

💃: "You can also tell us if you have your own little learning secrets, and we can share them together~"

🕺: "别忘了订阅我们的节目，每周都有新的中文学习内容。"

🕺: "Don't forget to subscribe to our program, there will be new Chinese learning content every week."

💃: "跟我们一起，学得轻松，坚持得快乐！"

💃: "Follow us, learn easily and stick to it happily!"

🕺: "中文不难，难的是“每天一点点”，但你可以做到！"

🕺: "Chinese is not difficult, what is difficult is "a little bit every day", but you can do it!"

💃: "加油！我们下次再见～"

💃: "Come on! See you next time~"

🕺: "拜拜～"

🕺: "Bye~"
