給版主建議 ,本身自學英文心得提供參考, 1 先看美劇 ( 顯示中英字幕 ) . 2 將美劇對話內容儲存成 Mp3檔 ( 聲音檔) , 3 天天走動戴上耳機聆聽.
最終只靠聽,自然而然聽懂美劇所有對話含意. 貴公司張貼一排中文一排英文雖看懂聽懂還是無法"自然"熟記,如果改念MP3檔一行中文下行英文( 當然是每集儲存成一集MP3檔非一句一個Mp3檔),對於真想學好英文口說是最佳捷徑. ( 不考慮公家機關與職場上熟懂 "文法規則" ),畢竟語言只要是溝通非考試 ! 更何況Google App 翻譯軟體可以將全球各國語言立即互動轉換且讀出當地語言.( 地球圈旅遊變成無障礙 )

補充: 為何要Mp3檔 ? VLC media player App軟體可以將播影片改成只放聲音無影片,但手機或者其他媒體撥放器記憶體容量與電力有限,播Mp3比較實際!

忘了重一點: 下載每集Mp3 需付費會員 ( 高級使用者付費,天經地義 )
