你必須知道的8大英語口語學習資源｜用這些就能成英語高手！（必收藏）

Hey guys! With the Chinese New Year coming up I』m sure a lot of you are getting ready to start making New Year』s Resolutions and therefore gonna want to start learning English (again! Hahaha). Of course, talking to real people is always the best way to practice English, but for many reasons that』s not always possible. Online websites and mobile apps, are, in general, much more available and easy to use.

Hey, guys! Chris here! 再過兩個星期就到狗年了！這就是制定新年願望的第二次機會！就像我老跟大家說的，跟人聊天是最好的練口語的辦法，只不過每天有各種各樣的原因會讓這樣的練習不太現實。一般來說，一些網站和手機app用起來更方便，也更容易。

But which ones are best? In today』s online world, there are so many English learning apps and websites that claim to have the best speaking/TOEFL/Reading app or whatever. It』s impossible to know which ones are good and worth your time/money and which ones are scams!

但是哪些app是最好的呢？我感覺幾乎每天都會有各種新的英語學習 app出現在應用商店中，還有各種新出現的網站宣稱要解決一切口語、托福、閱讀等等問題。很難知道哪些好、哪些根本就是在浪費時間。

I』ve been teaching English for a LONNNGGG time. The following websites/apps are the ones that I ALWAYS recommend to my students when they first start learning. I』ve used all of them myself (and still do!) and can vouch for their effectiveness. And most importantly, they』re all free!

不過不要慌！我教英文這麼久了，也一直在關注有哪些資源可以加快或便利大家的學習。下面提到的大部分我都自己試過，而且有些是我每天學外語必不可少的資源！關鍵是，大多數都是免費的！

那到底怎麼讓你的英語學習更好地進入2018年呢？一起來看看這九大資源！

Anki生詞卡片APP

(蘋果商店150元、安卓免費) (https://apps.ankiweb.net/)

When someone asks me how best to improve their English, my number 1 answer is always 『Anki』 which is why it』s at the top of the list! Sorry iPhone users, this app is really expensive, but Android users rejoice! It』s completely free! This app is the premiere SRS/Flashcard app on the market. Nothing else really comes close. Anki has an entire database of user-created flashcard decks that are chock full of great example sentences and vocabulary for you to practice your speaking.

當有人問我如何擴大辭彙量時，我必須推薦Anki這個詞卡app。用iPhone的同學比較慘、要交150塊錢——但我覺得真的非常值得！我第一次想買的時候有點猶豫，但最後決定下下來試試，至今一直都沒後悔過！用安卓的同學就太幸福了，完全免費！這個app用一個間隔重複系統給你顯示該學習或複習的詞卡，這樣能確保你根本不會浪費時間複習不用複習的東西。我覺得目前還沒有任何app可以跟Anki比。雖然界面很簡單，但是從演算法來看，我覺得是最高效的詞卡軟體。另外，Anki的網站有很多免費的用戶做的生詞包，包含了各種例句和該學習的辭彙！

2. 伴魚

(蘋果、安卓都可免費下載)

(Warning! Shameless self-plug!) This app is something I use a lot to give free English streams on. There are a few paid features (optional), like getting a private teacher/paid lecture and such, but there are a lot of free things such as articles and videos created by English teachers that are great for practicing your English. For those wanting some cheap authentic speaking practice, this is a great app.

我經常用這個app來做與英語學習相關的直播！用戶也可以付費在這上面找一些私人老師（一個小時70-120元），還能免費學習老師們分享的原創教學內容。想練習更多英語口語的同學我強烈推薦這個app！下載了以後可以關注一下我的賬戶（Chris的英語之道），及時收到直播信息！

3. 復讀機

(iPhone推薦用Speater Lite；安卓隨便下復讀機app即可)

There are lots of apps that 『loop』 video or audio, but I think Speater is the most user friendly one. There are versions. Speater and Speater Lite. You only need the functions from Speater Lite which is free! First, find a clip from a video or piece of audio that you like/want to emulate and upload it to the app. Then you can use the app』s features to repeat, rewind, slow down, or speed up the clip and listen to it as many times as you want! This is an AMAZING way to get the feel for how English sounds and to practice speaking with a native accent.

我經常強調跟讀、模仿的重要性，而且做這種訓練的時候，有很多復讀機app可以讓這一切更方便。其實任何「復讀機」app都可以用，但我覺得Speater是其中最好的app 之一（只有iPhone版）。Speater有付費版和Speater Lite免費版，個人感覺免費版就可以！

復讀機該怎麼用呢？首先你可以選擇任何視頻或音頻上傳到app上；然後你可以選擇文件里的任何片段進行重複、放慢、加快等等，不斷地聽和練習。分析你自己說的跟音頻有什麼區別，可以讓你迅速提高口語和聽力！

5. http://Tatoeba.org

http://Tatoeba.org (http://tatoeba.org/)

An enormous database of example sentences created by native speakers of your target language. Put in a word that you want an example sentence for, search, and then the site spits out a bunch of example sentences with translations! Perfect for when you need to know how a word is used or need to make flashcards or something. A lot of the sentences even come up with native pronunciation examples!

這個網站就是個大資料庫，可惜還沒有app，但是能在這個網站上看到很多母語者造的句子。輸入你想學習的單詞，就會彈出很多很好的例句。很適合在想了解一個詞怎麼用、需要做卡片例句的時候用。而且很多句子都配有母語者的語音示範！

6. Forvo

(蘋果、安卓都有app) (https://forvo.com/)

Like the above site, but Forvo is focused on individual words instead of complete sentences. Great to check the pronunciation of certain words when you』re a little unsure of what they sound like. Most of the words have pronunciations from both male and female users in several different accents so don』t worry about only getting American pronunciation if you want to study British English, or vice versa. They have more than just English too!

跟tatoeba有點像， Forvo可以查任何一個詞，然後就能聽到不同母語者讀該詞的語音示範。大部分的單詞至少有美國和英國男女的朗讀示範，這樣不管你學美式英語還是英式英語，都可以聽到不同母語者的示範、熟悉不同的口音。

6. HelloTalk

(iPhone、安卓都有app；https://www.hellotalk.com)

This is a chat app that you can use to do kind of a language exchange with foreigners. Users input their native language and then select the languages they are trying to learn. After that, you can search for other users with interests that are opposite yours. For example, if you』re Chinese and wanting to learn English, you』d search for someone who speaks English and wants to learn Chinese. You can then start a conversation with this person and have a chat with them in your target language. It even has a translate function! The app works similar to WeChat in that there are options for both text and audio so you can practice both writing and speaking! The benefit of this app over WeChat is that it gives you access to a whole pool of potential language learning partners. Once you find one you trust you can then add their WeChat or Skype to continue the conversation in a more convenient app.

HelloTalk這個app是個聊天軟體，你可以通過它跟外國人做語伴。用戶需要輸入自己的母語，然後選擇目標語言，之後就可以搜索與你匹配的其他用戶。比如，你是想學英語的中國人，你就要搜索想學漢語的英語母語者。找到後你就可以跟ta通過你的目標語言發起對話。這個平台甚至還有翻譯功能！跟微信有點類似，你可以在這上面發文字或語音，所以既能鍛煉寫作，又能練習口語！跟微信比，這個app的優勢在於給了你眾多潛在語言學習夥伴的選擇。一旦你找到可以信任的語伴，就可以在更方便的微信或Skype上添加ta們，繼續你們的對話。

7. 英語趣配音

(iPhone、安卓都有app)

This app is another one that』s great for pronunciation. The app takes clips from foreign movies and TV shows and challenges the users to 『dub』 over the original audio. At the end, the app gives you a score based on how good your pronunciation was. You can even share your score on your moments and challenge your friends to dub over the same clip!

Dubbing也是提高發音的app，在這上面有從外國電影和電視節目中截取的片段，供用戶給。結束後app會根據你的發音情況給你打分。你還可以把分數分享到朋友圈，讓你的朋友挑戰相同的片段！

8. HiNative

(iPhone、安卓都有app；https://hinative.com/zh-CN)

Previously known as lang-8, HiNative, is a platform where you can ask questions about any language you want and get answers from real native speakers from around the world. You can ask questions like, "How do you say this in Spanish?" "Whats the difference between these two words?" "Is my pronunciation correct?" You can also teach other users about your own native language. It』s a great community to be a part of and a must for students that don』t have a teacher or foreign friend to give corrections.

HiNative以前叫lang-8，是一個你可以問有關任何語言的問題的平台，同時你也能從來自全球各地的母語者處獲得答案。你可以問這樣的問題「在西班牙語中這個怎麼說？」「這兩個詞之間有什麼區別？」「我的發音對嗎？」你可以在這個平台上教自己的母語。社區很好值得參與，特別適合沒有外教或外國朋友糾錯的學習者。
