語言交換意義,語言交換特點,尋找夥伴途徑,溫馨貼士,
語言交換意義
通過語言交換,你可以獲得一對一、面對面的機會練習你的聽力和口語。你可以學到一些書本上學不到的生活化表達和俚語。你還可以了解語伴所在國家的文化,習俗,說話方式,幽默和價值觀等。語言交換將帶你擺脫書卷味教室,融入真正的語言交流世界。
語言交換特點
參與語言交換的人,或者說正在進行語言交換的雙方,通常是不同國家、不同地區的語言學習者,他們講不同的語言。共同點,是都在學習外語,而所學的外語剛好是對方的母語,有時候也可以是對方的第二語言(接近母語水平)。
所以,語言交換具有以下特點:
1、即時性:可以學到書本上無法學到的最新,時下最為流行的口語、辭彙、句子。比如學習中文的課本內容裡面就有個例句是:請問人民商店在那裡?事實上,中國已經很久沒人這樣講話了。而通過語言交換和本地人交流學習就彌補了書本上無法實現的即時性特點。
2、地域性:因為是跟當地人進行語言交換學習他的語言,那么,所學到的知識就包括該地區的語言和文化的特性。
3、選擇性:也可以說是自由性。因為語言交換是相互的,雙方的,夥伴和內容完全可以自由選擇。
4、互動性:語言交換的過程,既是學習,也是教授的過程。
5、實踐性:通過交流而學習,在學習的過程中又套用於交流。
尋找夥伴途徑
基於語言交換的特點和使用人群的範圍,以及網際網路技術的發展,網際網路是最為適合於言交換的途徑。

溫馨貼士
考慮你的英文基礎,語言交換隻能作為學習外語的一個輔助。
Language exchange is only an assistant form of your second language acquisition, it would be much better that you have already began your learning.

例如:如果你希望交換英文,最好你有英文基礎,我們推薦的外籍人士中文也不是很好。
For example,If you want to learn Chinese and your partner’s Chinese is just at the level of beginning, it would be better that your English is at certain level so it will be less difficult for you two to get through to each other.
例如:如果你希望交換法語,最好你有法語基礎或者英文水平較好。
And if you are intended to learn French, we hope that you can speak a little French or have a good command of English.

理想的語伴

理想的語伴應該是雙方都處在一個相對較高的語言水平,希望提高彼此的流利度。這種情況下,雙方將充分享受與對方的交流。
The ideal partnership is, when both partners are of a farely advanced level, and want to improve their fluency. If this is the case, there is no doubt that both of you will enjoy your conversation.

不局限於母語語伴
don’t stick to “Native Speakers

在中國,太多數人希望找到一個母語語伴,但是,母語語伴並不多見。實際上,你也可以從一個非母語的語伴身上學到很多。例如,一些歐洲人會講多國語言,他們也許教得更好,而你也可以熟悉各種口音。當然,如果你想了解某個特定國家的文化,那么母語語伴則是最好。
In China, too many people try to find “native speakers” as a language exchange partner, but there are not so many native speakers in Australia. Actually, you can also learn a lot from “non-native speakers”. For example, some Europeans can speak multiple languages and maybe better teachers than native speakers, and you can become familiar with various accents. Of course, if you want to know the culture of a specific country, a native speaker of that country will be best.
