2023 VoiceTube 零元挑戰心得:雖然挑戰成功,但不想再經歷了!

 嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚~我終於也挑戰VoiceTube Hero成功了!這半年死撐活撐,在回家的捷運上,在出國在機場候機,在醫院等叫號,在等待某惱接送時,我都在戰挑我的Hero....這輩子沒這麼認真讀英文過!套一句古老的廣告辭『我不是在挑戰Hero,就是正要去挑戰Hero的路上』 (==?)

2019年12月1日 星期日

Hero課程結束後 - 後來我的Hero課程怎麼了.......

已是2019年未了,來寫寫我的Hero課程,最後怎麼了.......

從我第一次買Hero 中級60堂,後來再加購中級30堂、購買加時專案,整個HERO課程進行了將近1年半,最終在今年初2019/01/31完全結束,沒有再加購何方案了。

幾個原因沒有再繼續

  1. 課程檔有問題
    1. 完成所有課程後,Hero會提供你下載完整的課程檔,我下載了好幾次,課程檔都有問題,例如:課程A,我明明就三次都有錄音,但頁面上跟本無法播放....只有課程最後面的對話錄音有播放鍵、有些課程沒有完全顯示在上面........等,總體來說課程檔是一個完全無法使用的東西,....陸續與客服反應寫信都無效.........

VoiceTube Hero,中級課程60堂,上完心得!

其實我在買Hero課程之前先買了TutorABC 30堂課(要價一萬七),但在上TutorABC時我常常自我懷疑一件事:【一直使用有限的英文程度溝通,真的會進步嗎?】總覺得自己每堂課都是在說一樣的話。課堂上有一些老師建議我可以多看一些外國的影片。

透過看電影【模仿外國人說話的音調口音】大概是我聽過最多人推薦的英文學習法,但要自己完成實在是很辛苦的事,我曾經試著看「六人行」影片,想重複聽同一句的時候總是很難控制精確的影片播放點、錄音也需要另外使用麥克風電錄音機,連字幕都要自己用紙條貼住螢幕,真的很不方便阿!因為無聊的過程,跟麻煩的方法,很快的我就放棄了!

在TutorABC課程進行到一半時,我發現了VoiceTube Heor課程,功能設計完全解決了上述不便的問題,介面也很清爽,我甚至連試用另一套攻其不背都沒有,衝著喜歡Hero的介面、價錢可接受還有「想說一口流利英文」的衝動,就手滑了刷卡了,連團購都沒有跟到就衝動下單了Q_Q!

我就來說說花了半年時間,完成60堂中級課程的心得吧!

電影:救救菜英文

衝著它有不錯的影評還有三個傻瓜的感動,所以想看看這部印度片,結果其實還好。

老實說前面有一點枯燥,但最後面收尾收得不錯,有畫龍點睛的效果,害我又默默流了兩行淚...。

Face it!!

其實....
我之前上課的時候
也是很逃避...每次老師出作業的時候...還有練習對話的時候.....

練習對話時,我總"怕"自己想不出好的對話(有趣的..)
但愈是這樣害怕,就還真的愈想不出來...
而且也真的覺得自己英文不是太好..
可能是其它人都很不錯吧?!

推薦英文網站^^


  1. 蝦米小居~英語學習網站~快樂學英語 

    蝦米小居有很多英文的資源哦,包括完整的kk音標學習法,還有自然發音發的學習法

    還有制做成flash與mp3,站長是一個英文老師,非常的用心喲






  2. Merriam-Webster Online 英英字典

    因為我覺得它的發音比yahoo好太多了,所以每次我查單字都會來這裡查

    最屌的是他有一個Visual Dictionary Online ,完全圖解英文,能做成這樣,還是free的我甘拜非常的下風








  3. English-English Dictionary 英英字典

    我不知道這是那一個機構的,但是因為上面那個m-w的英英字典實在很難,所以我英英字典都是查這個

    哈哈,我覺得它的解釋很簡單,查一個字單不旦可以順便學很多其它單字,你也會知道怎麼描述它,一舉數得






  4. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/






  5. Live 互動英文

    裡頭有一些圖解英文

good teacher!

Dont compete with others, compete with yourself.
別人英文好是別人的事,英文不好也可以慢慢練習,英文才會變好!
==>沒錯,許多人聽到別人的英文好,就因為沒自信而不敢開口!!

It's your class, not my class.
所以,當然老問你時,不要只說一個字就結束整個對話。因為這是很好的練習機會!
==>老師有機會問話就儘量回答,如果只用一個YES,No回答那你就是失去練習的機會,練習不就是你來的目的嗎?!

Rules:
  1. No one word (answer)!
  2. Don't vegetate
  3. Don't blurt out answer

組團考英檢

想給自己一個讀英文的動力

我決定要考今年的全民英檢



上周六與大學同學聚會

我有提及這件事

結果大家都興致缺缺

聚會散了,我還衝去三民書局買簡章



後來發現我多買了,msn問了不少人,看有沒有人要考,不想浪費了簡章

結果大家都不想考英檢

真是讓我有點難過....



後來問到有同事願意去,超高興的

星期一上班我還問了其它同事

想不到絕大部份的同事都有意願

真是太令人震奮了!!!



感覺一夕之間多了很多戰友

而不是孤軍憤戰....





很多人都問說,為什麼考全民英檢不考多益

多益比較有用.....



其實真的是因為我工作上用不到

只是想自我測驗

而且全民英檢有「聽說讀寫」比較符合我的需求

Bad habits

Sometimes I really hate my older brother, he is so selfish, never think of others.



I enjoy the quiet time at night, but he always makes noisy sound at night.



In holiday he always wakes up late and play online game all day long until night.



At night he just do something he want , but that's very noisy , things like clear his room..washing his dirty clothes.....and so on.



In that instant I really want to rent a room for myself.







And I really  hate to share the washing machine with him.



He always occupies the machine.



One day he washed his clothes at Saturday night but he forgot to dry his clothes....until I wanted to done too at Sunday night, he told me that I have to wait to him cause he wanted to  wash the clothes again,the clothes was smelled bad.



when his clothes was ready...he was already sleeping......so....at the Monday night he washed the same clothes again.................Orz



I waiting the machine for three days. I colud'nt believe he could be so wasted....and so lazy..........

陪L去找Dmitri

之前陪L去找Dmitri的對話內容



http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=flybean&b=32&f=1134123399&p=0

(原來無名的免費會員不能在網誌放播放器,只好用連結的orz)



L:我想問說我的問題到底在那



D:Where your problems are...



D:um...uhh.....when you talk, you seem a little bit confused about  when to use 'be' verb and when to use 'do'. 

For example uhh, you might ask something like 'Are you like shopping ' or  'Do you like to shopping' , which one do you need, so sometimes you confuse when to use do and when to use be.



and i think your listening ability needs a lot of pratice too, 你的聽力 , your listening ability , you need to some pratice for that  too.



uh..and then also you made a lot of mistakes with past tence , for example uh.. "I  had lunch at 12 o'clock" instead of  " I have lunch at 12 o'clock". .......



D:清楚嗎?



L:大概

 

F:She wants to go I3 with us....very very want



D: I want to very very much...ha ..



D: I have to warn you that  is some parts of it are pretty hard...some part of it will be pretty hard for you, because in I1 and I2 ,you have to master using do and be and other verbs and you have to be pretty good with the past tense.



it's ok to just still make some mistakes with past tense. but you need to pretty comfortable with it, because in I3 you will learn something new which is a little bit hard. and if you dont..if you dont understand everything before well enough.



F: I think she can use the do pr be verb, but maybe in talking about she forget..maybe just nervious..so...

(所有動詞都沒加s....都沒有make sentence....悽悽慘慘悽悽)



D:That could be. that colud be..i mean a lot of time..a lot of times  people know the difference and maybe wirte and read the difference but when you talk just the wrong thing comes up.



F: If she very very study hard....can she go ....



D: (((if she studids very very hard)))...she studies hard....



D: OK you can try, but I have to warn you  it will be really  hard and you have to try hard...that  mean you have to...if teacher give you something to study , you have to study a lot , if teacher says do the homework , you have to do the homework, and you have to try hard, you know you can't say "Oh I have to do the homework" and do it in  five minutes before the  class starts. you really have to study and think about it.



And then maybe you can succeed, I know that you want to and I know that you can if you work hard, but it won't be easy, so  I have to warn you.



F & L:....!$%@#$^^&



F:She wants to try to join...to go I3 ...if he can't ....if she can't maybe she want to stop it and go other level.



D: I think that's a  good plan. you can try for two weeds.after two weeks and she can still change , so you can see if it is suitable for you or not.



D: Another thing is you need to be a little bit  more confident about speaking English. Like the situation right now , I know that your English is good enough to tell me all these things in English, you might make some mistakes but you can't be afraid of mistakes, you know  I heard a lot of mistakes I heard mistaks from her, I heard mistakes from every ..from every students..and helping you ..helping you to speaking batter English is my job , But I can't do my job, if you dont speak English ,right? I mean you sholud have to try speaking  English instead of say it in  Chinese. I think if you do that , you can improve more.



F: Try now...



L: Try now?



F: Do you have other question?



L: ............



D: Don't be too nervous.



L:...我現在想不到



D: I can't think anything...See it's very easy to speaking...very easy.



L:Next level is sure is you?



D: if you take on  Monday and Wednesday then yes.



If you take I3 on Monday and Wednesday ..then yes, the class is ready to go



and if I'm your teacher ...I may...if you're in my class . I may think of some extra homework or some extra pratice for you to do. to try to help you catch up a little bit, all pratice things that are still very hard for you,OK?



F:OK?



D:OK嗎



D: I think the problem is not that  you can't speak English, is that you won't speak English, I notice it  sometimes in class you just would't try to say it  in  English , you would just ask her in Chinese right away, what's going on ,but you really have to try say it in English, even it's hard or even you are not sure what to say....you know...you dont know how to say, you dont know the right word...well ....just ask...use the word you know and I will help you find the words and find the way what you want.



That's my job and I like it...so...



F: Any question?



D: 還有什麼問題?



L: NO...



D: No more question?...well ok ...then I'll tell the secretaries that you really really want to try I3...



F:Dmitri you know..last time you tell her , maybe I3 is a little bit hard for her, she is very very sad.



D:She...she is what?



F:She is very sad.



D:Very sad, really?



F:yeah..



D:you dont look so.



L: She almost cry.



D:You dont look so.



D:....I ...I dont think you.....you have some problem with your English, but the problem is not so much in your English and more in you attitude, you have to try to speaking English, as much as possible and then you will imporve,and you practice and learn the thing you need learn...but you just ask Fion to explain it in Chinese every every time, that won't help you English get batter...So..got to be careful..that's all.



I'm sorry if i almost made you cry, but uh  you need hear this because I can see the English is pretty important to you  and i can feel that you want to get batter. but you have to chang what you do just a little bit..OK?



D: But don't cry now.



L & F & D:...ha ha ha 







總結...雖然Dmitri已經說很慢了

但對話中很多it還是聽不清

而且我還把notice聽成know

把attitude 聽成 active....orz





想到上次跟我弟對話

也是

明明他說的英文非常簡單

只是簡單的回應

很簡短

但就是因為很短,又講的很快

我幾乎是完全不知道他在說什麼

比跟D講話更慘

因為D會特意放慢速度

所以呀

想要真正跟外國人對話還是真要加把勁





講英文的時候

有時候急著說完一句

就會完全不顧文法

但如果顧及文話,可能就沒辦法很快的講完一句話,會斷斷續續...uhh....半天的

希望有一天能講的很快文法又完全正確

I changed my mind

Yes 





It's still useful to study in Koject.





It's a power to push you to study 





If you just study English by yourself ,sometime you will be lazy.





But in Koject, you have to do your homework after  class.





Maybe somebody in this class,thier English not very well,but thier are study hard very much.





And some of my classmate's English is pretty good.





So I think it's stil helpful!





Jst sometime i am tired and lazy to go to class,but every time after i go to class, i feel it's really helpful!





keep studying





just like Dmitri says:「English is use it or lose it」







Correct Version




Yes





it's still useful 





to study in Koject





because it's a power to push you to study 





if you just study English by yourself, sometimes you could be lazy.







but in Koject you have to do your homework after every class.





maybe there's somebody in this class and their English is not very good, but they study very hard.





Some of my classmate's English is pretty good.







so, I think it's still helpful!





Sometimes I feel tired and lazy and don't want to go to class, but after every class, I felt it was very helpful!





keep studying





just like Dmitri says:「English, use it or lose it」

笑話

怎麼有新生度比I 2的還不如

無言



現實

我當然希望大家程度相當



懂了

補習班

砸錢

沒用

通通沒用



要唸

by yourself





學習的路是孤單的

板橋 科見

我是在板橋科見上課的

我不知道其它科見是否這樣

其它班級是否也這樣

但在我有班級上,我有下面這些感想



因為我上的班級是中文老師

我也還未給外師上過課

也許I2的外師課也改善吧





優點:


  1.  年齡從17~4x都有

  2.  小班制約8~12人

  3.  上課有趣不乏味,上課會有許多活動,讓你跟你的同學互動,從互動對話中學習英文


缺點:


  1. 學費貴,我現在要升I2了,但舊生價還要6900二個月(每周二次,每次三小時)

  2. 我上的I1課程,明明應該是禁說中文,仍有學生很"皮"愛繞中文,老師也只是跟他笑嘻嘻

  3. 從I1升I2好像不需考試,只要想升級就可以直升

  4. 因為我上的班級是從E2一路上來的,一半以上的同學都是舊生,我發現老師總是喜歡找固定那幾個學生問問題

  5. 課本兩本,一次要四、五百,但聽其它舊生說...從以前到現在,從來都沒有用完過...orz


不論去科見還是別家

如果回家不複習

吸收還是非常有限....

letter to dmitri

You're a very nice teacher. You always work hard and you really want to help us to improve our English.




Before meet you, most of us didn't want to go I3. We want to take rest because we thought always talk to the same people is not really helpful.




Then you showed, a very work hard teacher.




I have never met the work hard teacher as you; you even bring our home book back to correct it.




I think you have a very good ear, you can hear everybody when they say the wrong sentence or wrong pronounce in the same time although there are many group in conversation.




You always tell us how to use the correct grammar and how to pronounce, after each activities you always teach the new vocabulary, when we were practicing conversation , no matter our conversation is bored or not , you just stand near us and just listening and correct our conversation.




I very appreciate you ^^




You always encourage us; it's our turn to tell you how good a teacher you are. ^^




Do you know , when you wrote the Chinese word "書法", I'm very shock about that, because Chinese is hared to learn ,especially the traditional Chinese.





But you, a foreign person, have very good Chinese base.


How can't we study hrad?!




I'll study hard as I can.


Because I have a very very very very good teacher.






Correct Vision

You're a very nice teacher. You always work hard and you really want to help us to improve our English.





Before we met you, most of us didn't want to go I3. We wanted to take a rest because we thought always talking to the same people is not really helpful.

I have never met a hard working teacher like you; you even bring our home book (homework?)back to correct it.





I think you listen very well, you hear everybody when they say the wrong sentence or the wrong pronunciation although there are many groups in conversation.





You always tell us how to use the correct grammar and pronunciation.  After each activity you always teach us the new vocabulary while we are practicing. It doesn't matter if our conversation is boring or not, you stand near us and just listen and correct us.

Dmitri

每次上英文課之前都有一種懶人症狀

想要翹課,或是不想去(雖然還會是壓著自已去啦...)

每次上完課後都覺得,還是有幫助的...





但最近有點倦怠,本來已不打算再上下去了,想休息一下子

總覺得,老是跟班上的一樣的人talking,進步非常有限



其實已經非常的明白

想要有顯住的進步95%還是要靠自已

否則只是每星期一、三上英文課,進步還是很有限



當然因為補習班的課程,是一整套的

有連慣性的,讓你一次把相關用法跟單字學起來

而且補習班有那環境讓你talking,就算不懂也有人可以指導

如果能自學+補習班相輔相成,一定能進步神速





But

從上次開始,之前的外師因病請假,最後二個星期都有另一"阿豆仔"代課



我發現他真的是一個非常認真的老師 



  1. 會糾正我們說錯的部份,並且告訴我們更好的說法

  2. 上課有條不紊,而且也會給回家作業,也比較願意寫黑板

  3. 課本也會用到....不會讓人覺得課本是白買的...

  4. 不論分組或是跟partner對話,他會在每一組旁邊耐心聽其對話,就算對話很無聊,他也會聽下去

    看我們有沒有說錯,或他可以幫忙的地方,

  5. 若在對話中他有時候會給我們更好的說法,或是新單字新的單字會在這個階段完成後,再review一遍,讓全班都知道

  6. 課前課都都會準備,還特地把我們的作業收回去批改(太認真了.....)





如果I3老師還是他,我二話不說,就繳錢了





我記得,我上次聽到科見的行政人員說

他們有一班,就是從E班到A到,到現在最高層的Special Topic

那一班的老師正是他!!!



星期一上完課,回家就趴了

今中午又睡午覺,沒做作業

所以下午偷偷利用上班時間查了一下單字

雖然如此,還是有另一份作業,忘了順便一起寫





老師收作業的時候,就沒有收我的作業..嗚嗚

後來我利用下課時間把作業寫完,拿去4樓給老師時



老師竟然說他覺得我非常的認真

因為其它同學都沒有查單字

他要我幫忙其它同學orz...

說得我超心虛的....

心想一定要努力呀!!!



其實當他寫出"書法"這兩字中文字時

就讓我很震撼了

中文,是所有語言中最難的學的,特別是繁體字

連他一個外國人,都把中文學這麼好





有像他這樣這麼一個努力的老師

我怎麼能不好好作好作業

好好讀英文呢?





上課的時候,他要是聽到我們說中文

他會一附「天那...你竟然說中文...一附很失望...很不敢至信的樣子」

如他所說,他真的很想幫我們把英文學好....



下課前

老師千叮嚀萬交代

一定要做好作業



我真的要做好我的做業

而且不止是利用上班的時間

要真正達到自已所認為ok的標準





要到



下次老師說我很認真時



我也能認同:   「是呀,我真的很認真,但我還會繼續認真下去。」

Call

This noon.I recive the call from Lee .



She just asked me about the lunch in 3/16, i said i'll attent the lunch, she said she may attent too.



I am so happy to heard that and so happly to recived her call.



In fact, i have a little afraid to join that, because i'm not clubable. But i still joined that,because somebody had ever told me [Do someting u afrid], I have to face something I afraid .



I have a long time no to recive the call from friend, that let me feel i dont just have work, i have something else.



Thank your call ,and expect the feast.



I think I'll join the next level  I2.





--------------------------------------------------------

correct version



I received the call from Lee this afternoon. 



She asked me about the lunch on 3/16. I said I will be attending the lunch and she said she might attend too. I was so happy to hear that and so happy to receive her call.



In fact, I am a little afraid to go, because I'm not sociable.   I still want to go because somebody once told me "Do something you are afraid of".  I have to face what I'm afraid of. 



It's been a long time since I've received a call from a friend.  That let me feel like I can do other things than just work.

I’m glad she called and I can’t wait until the lunch. 



I think I'll join the next level  I2.
