A Simple Idea
一个关于学英语的简单想法
Today I want to share a simple idea about learning English.
The Problem: Apps Control You
很多 App 太“游戏化”——它在替你决定怎么学
Many apps are too 'game-like'. They control how you learn, your speed, your steps.
Swipe Cards, 20 a Day
词卡一张张滑,每天只能学 20 个
You swipe word cards one by one — maybe only 20 words a day.
It Feels Slow & Uncomfortable
慢、别扭、体验不好
This feels slow and uncomfortable — not a good experience.
How Did We Learn at School?
我们上学时,是怎么记单词的?
How did we learn words at school?
Open the Word List, Top → Bottom
翻到书末单词表,从上到下,一遍遍读
We opened the book to the word list and read top to bottom, again and again.
Build a Simple Tool
做一个按词频排列的简单工具
I want to build a very simple tool that shows words by frequency.
Each Word Has 4 Parts
每个词四部分:单词 · 发音 · 中文 · 英文+例句
Each word has four parts: word, pronunciation, Chinese meaning, English meaning + examples.
Mark Each Word
标记:不会 · 要记 · 已掌握
Mark a word as 'don't know', 'need to remember', or 'already know'.
A Review System
按记忆规律复习:重复 · 遗忘 · 再复习
A review system follows memory rules: repeat, forget, review again.
Step 1 · Fast Reading
快速阅读:扫一遍,没压力,先混脸熟
Look at the list top to bottom. No pressure — just scan and get familiar.
Step 2 · Use the Words
用起来:拿今天的词造句并读出来
Take today's words, make simple sentences, and read them.
Step 3 · Listen & Speak
听与说:跟读真实音频(电影台词、对话)
Find real audio, follow and read aloud — hear words in real situations.
Repeat Every Day
每天重复这个循环
Every day, you repeat this cycle.
Stage 1 · Chinese → English
两个阶段之一:先用中文理解词义
English learning has two stages. First: understand words through Chinese.
Stage 2 · English → English
之二:用简单英文理解英文
Second: understand words using simple English.
Like a Chinese Dictionary
像查中文字典——用中文解释中文,不翻译
It's like using a Chinese dictionary — we don't translate to another language.
Faster & More Natural
用英文理解英文,学得更快、更自然
Understand English in English — learning becomes faster and more natural.
Simpler · Natural · Flexible
不是更复杂,而是更简单、更自然、更灵活
Not to make learning more complex — but simpler, more natural, more flexible.
