This report and other recent studies show that online learning, distance learning, and
self- learning in general, are not only more convenient, but, in fact, more effective than the
classroom, for high school, college and adult learners. In the last decade, the Internet, the
MP3 player, the iPhone, and other mobile devices,as well as social networking sites,
language exchange communities, online learning systems, university courses online and
more, have changed how we deal with knowledge. The walls of academia, and the costs
of learning, are crumbling before our eyes and ears.

本篇报道和 其他近期研究都显示普遍而言，网络课程、远程教育和自学比起传统高中、大学
和成人教育模式等，不仅 更加方便、而且效率更高。在过去的十年当中，互联网、mp3随
身听、iPhone、其他便携式设备 以及网络社区、网上教育课程、高校网络教程等等都改变
了我们学习知识的方式。高等教育的围墙、大笔 的学费都在我们眼前崩塌。
For those who are conditioned to think that learning only happens in a classroom, the
world of self-learning can be a little daunting. How do we best take advantage these new
opportunities.

对于那些认为学习只能在教室中进行的人而言，自 学可能会吓怕他们。那么我们怎么才能最
好的利用自学这种新兴的学习方法呢？下面以自学外语为例，为 大家介绍一些小诀窍。
1. Get interested

第一步：对所学之物感兴趣
Make no mistake. Your interest in the subject is the essential driver of success. You can't
learn what you do not want to learn. Emotion is an important part of the learning process.
If you are even moderately interested in a subject, give yourself a chance. The key is to
get started. If you can create some pleasurable routines, you may find that the subject
grows on you. “L’appetit vient en mangeant” (the appetite comes with eating) as they say
in French.

可别搞错了，兴趣是成功学成某件事的根本要素！ 你不想学的东西当然学不会。在学习过程
中保持热情至关重要。所以如果你对某件事有些兴趣，那就给自 己一个学习的机会。关键是
要“开始”！（沪江小编：就像某广告说的那样，just do it!） 如果你能创造一些让自己开心的
学习模式，那么就能好好开始学习这门科目。就像他们在法语里说的那样 ：吃着吃着就有胃
口了！
2. Expect problems and you won’t be disappointed.

第二布：降低期望值，这样就不会对自己失望

Don't expect to understand things, much less remember them, the first time you study
them. Trust that things will get clearer as your brain comes to grips with new information. It
is like a jig-saw puzzle or a cross-word puzzle. As you start to put the pieces together, or
string the words together, the full picture becomes clearer. The brain learns all the time,
but on its own schedule. Learning does not take place according to a schedule laid down
by a curriculum or teacher. Some things are easier to learn than others. Some things just
take longer to click in. Keep at it, and you will gradually find that things that seem difficult
at first, will become second nature with time.

当一开始学习的时候，别指望能一下就全部理解、更 别说记住所有知识点了。要相信，随着
你了解越来越多的新知识、你的头脑也会变得清晰起来。这就像是 拼图、或者填字游戏那样：
当你把图形一个一个拼起来、或是把单词一一填进去，整个大局就会清楚。大 脑其实随时都
在学习，不过它也有自己的节奏。学习的过程是不会按照一个课程、或是老师给你规定的进
行的。有的东西比其他好学，有的东西就是需要花更多时间。坚持下去，你慢慢就会发现那
些一 开始看上去很难的东西也会随着时间变得简单了。
3. Cover the same ground from different angles.

第三步：从不同的角度学习同一个知识点。
Your brain is struggling to form patterns to cope with new input from your learning
activities. Sometimes, no matter how long you focus on one subject, your brain is not
going to pick it up. If you are stuck, move on. Then cover the same general information
from a different source, a different book, or a podcast, or an online lecture or a video. Try
to become a grazing learner, roaming the countryside, rather than a feedlot learner, just
standing there in one spot, munching on the same bale of hay. The broader your base, the
easier it is to learn. Just as the “rich get richer”, the more you know, the more you can
learn.

在新知识的学习过程中，你的大脑会通过固有模式来接受新 的知识点。有的时候，不管花多
长时间对着一个科目，你就是记不住它。如果卡在这种时候，就略过它。 跟着从其他的信息
来源：比如不同的书籍、播客、线上课程或视频来重新学习同一个知识点。试着把自己 变成
