※ Simple Foreigners—10 Days of Emergency Learning English Speaking: This book focuses on authentic, natural, and interesting, commonly used spoken English. You can vividly and clearly express your thoughts without memorizing complex grammar. If you can speak these conversations fluently, you can travel across the United States and around the world. With the development of society, the opportunities to communicate with foreigners, whether traveling, visiting relatives and friends, working abroad, or working and living domestically, are increasing day by day. Some people have a basic foundation in English but are afraid to speak. This book is designed to help them transform into "simple foreigners" through 10 days of intensive training, enabling them to communicate in English, find their destinations abroad, check into hotels, enjoy delicious food, buy high-quality goods at affordable prices, and locate restrooms. The conversations in this book are standard, authentic, and modern, reflecting the daily spoken English of Americans. They may seem simple but are extremely practical and useful. The author, Dennis, is an American education expert and certified teacher. His wife, Jing Liming, is a U.S.-born Chinese professional writer and translator.
How to Use This Book:
1. First, listen to the conversations 10 times. This is very important because after listening 10 times, the correct language signals will be deeply ingrained in your mind. If you don’t listen, you might read or memorize it based on your own understanding, and sometimes your pronunciation might be wrong. If you repeatedly practice incorrect pronunciation, it will be much harder to correct it later when communicating with foreigners, potentially leading to misunderstandings.
2. Shadow the audio, trying to imitate the sounds on the tape or CD, until you can recite it fluently.
3. If possible, practice with a native English speaker with standard pronunciation. Make the most of every opportunity to use it.
4. Once you can understand the content without reading, you can use your free time to repeatedly listen to the material in this book.
