Discover Which Type Of English Learner You Are
弄清自己是什么类型的学习者
When learning how to speak English you first need to find out what type of English learner you are. Ask yourself questions such as Why do I want to speak English? Do I need to speak English for my job? Do I want to speak English for travel and hobbies, or do I have something more serious in mind? find out.
学英语时你首先应认清自己是什么类型的学习者。问问自己：为什么我想学英语？我在工作上要用到英语吗？我是为了旅游或者爱好学英语吗？我心里是不是有一些更严肃认真的想法呢？
Understand Your Goals
了解你的目标
Once you know what type of English learner you are, you can begin to better understand your goals. Once you know your goals, you'll better understand what you need to do to speak English well. This is similar to understanding what type learner you are. Write down a list of the things you would like to do with your English. Would you like to speak English fluently in two years? Would you like to have enough English to travel and order food in a restaurant? Understanding exactly what you want to do with English will help you learn how to speak English because you will work towards your goals.
一旦你认清了自己是什么类型的学习者，你可以更好地了解你的目标。一旦你明确了自己的目标，你会更清晰地知道要怎么做才能把英语说得更好。这与了解自己的学习类型相似。列一张清单，写明你都要英语来做什么。你想要在两年内说一口流利的恩英语？你想掌握足够的英语单词去旅行或者是点餐？明确你到底想用英语做什么可以帮助你学习英语，因为你可以朝着自己的目标前进。
Find Out Your Level
认清自己的水平
Before you begin to learn how to speak English, you'll need to know where to begin. Taking a level test can help you understand what level you are at and then you can start using resources appropriate for your level in order to learn how to speak English well. Of course, you'll not only learn how to speak English, but also how to read, write and use English in a variety of settings. These quizzes will help you find your level. Start with the beginning level test and then move on. Stop when you get less than 60% and begin at that level.
在学英语之前，你应该了解从哪里开始。做一个水平测试可以帮助你了解自己目前的阶段。随后你就可以利用适合现阶段的资源学习如何将英语说的更好。当然，你不仅仅要学如何说英语，你还要学习不同场合下英文该如何读、写、用。这些测试可以帮助你认清自己的水平。从最基础的测试开始，一步步加深难度，直到无法得到60分，就可以从这个阶段学起。
Decide On Learning Strategy

Now that you understand your English learning goals, style and level it's time to decide on an English learning strategy. The simple answer to the question of how to speak English is that you need to speak it as often as possible. Of course, it's more difficult than that. Start off by deciding which type of learning strategy you will take. Do you want to study alone? Do you want to take a class? How much time do you have to dedicate to English study? How much are you willing to pay to learn to speak English? Answer these questions and you will understand your strategy.
已经明白了自己的目标、类型和水平，就开始确定学习策略。要回答如何学会说英语，最简切了当的答案就是尽可能多开口，当然，说起来容易做起来难。先从确定你要采用的学习策略开始。你想要自学？还是报班？愿意花多少时间在英语学习上？愿意花多少钱？回答这些问题你就能明白自己的策略。
