| 256 | story and I know it's very long it's because it's like my favorite thing to talk about | 我知道这很长 因为它是我最喜欢的话题 |

| 258 | like you can learn a language as a child or you as an adult need to learn a language like | 就像你小时候可以学一种语言 或者你成年后需要学一种语言 |
| 259 | you did when you were a child and as an adult you feel like you're on the back foot | 你小时候就这么做了 成年后就觉得自己在后脚 |
| 260 | when it comes to language learning I have been doing like a little bit of reading about this I | 说到语言学习,我一直在做一些 关于这个我 |
| 261 | am by no means an expert I feel like with my linguistics reading I'm a bit I'm still a bit | 我从语言学上看来 绝对不是个专家 我有点 |
| 262 | behind like I'm still in the 1900s reading I need to get some more up-to-date stuff but | 后面就像我还在读1900年代, 我需要一些更新的东西,但 |
| 263 | adults can still learn languages it's just obviously a little bit different from when you are | 大人还是可以学语言的 和现在的你显然有点不同 |
| 264 | a child and a lot of that is to do with mentality so adults actually learn languages quicker than | 小孩和很多事情都与心态有关 所以成年人实际学习语言的速度比 |
| 265 | children do and you might be like no way but think about it children their brains are still | 孩子们做,你可能没有办法 但想想看,孩子们 他们的大脑仍然 |
| 266 | developing so it takes them years to learn a language adults can understand rules much faster | 学习语言需要很多年 成年人能更快理解规则 |
| 267 | than children can but one thing that holds adult learners back is they always want to understand | 比孩子更能阻止 成年学习者 |
| 268 | why they will be told a grammar rule and they think why or adults are very prone to it's very | 为什么他们会被告知一个语法规则 他们认为为什么或者成年人 非常容易接受 |
| 269 | common for them to research like I know I've done this I will research how to learn Spanish | 对他们来说很常见 就像我知道的一样 我做了这些 我会研究如何学习西班牙语 |
| 270 | instead of actually engaging with the language or studying so just try and avoid doing that too much | 而不是实际接触语言或学习 所以试着避免做太多 |
| 271 | try and keep we say like the eyes on the prize okay keep the eyes on the prize focus on what it | 尽量保持我们说话像眼睛在奖品上... ... |
| 272 | is you should be doing which is engaging with English in a way that is fun and enjoyable and | 你是否应该这样做 与英语接触的方式 有趣和愉快, |
| 273 | that you you like to do I have many students now all like I mentioned before all of my students are | 你喜欢做的 我有很多学生 就像我之前提到的 |
| 274 | adults and they range from like 18 to I don't know how old my oldest student is but | 他们从18岁到18岁 我不知道我大的学生多大 |
| 275 | in in his 60s and I see improvement in my students every single week every single month | 在他60多岁的时候 我每个月每个星期的学生都会有进步 |
| 276 | if you want it and you're an adult do not let your age stop you because you can improve | 如果你想要,你是一个成年人 不要让你的年龄阻止你 因为你可以改善 |
| 277 | and you will improve if you keep working and if you enjoy it if you engage with it | 如果你继续工作,如果你喜欢工作,你就会有所改进 |
| 278 | in particular a lot of linguistics papers will speak about adult brains having like a filter | 特别是很多语言学论文会说 成人脑像过滤器 |
| 279 | okay it's like a filter it's something which prevents information from going in to your brain | 好吧,它就像过滤器 它的东西阻止信息进入你的大脑 |
| 280 | adults I feel like are worse at this because we try and analyze things because we lack confidence | 大人,我觉得这更糟糕 因为我们尝试分析事物 因为我们缺乏信心 |
| 281 | we actually prevent ourselves from fully engaging and enjoying and learning in a way that's fun | 我们实际上阻止自己 充分参与和享受 学习的方式有趣 |
| 282 | so this is why I make videos that are maybe more like vlogs or more casual I think | 这就是为什么我制作的视频 可能更像Vlogs 或者更随意,我认为 |
| 283 | it's because I was a really inspired by this Spanish boost gaming channel because that was | 是因为我是一个真正的灵感 从西班牙的助推游戏频道 因为那是 |
| 284 | thinking it so much and having language learning be something that I feel nervous about and sick | 想到它这么多,有 语言学习是我感到紧张和生病的东西 |
| 285 | about and awful then I just improved and improved and improved so enjoy English if you can if you | 然后,我刚刚改进了,改进了,改进了。 所以,享受英语,如果你可以 |
