這次雖然體驗課而已，但真的很喜歡Yoyo老師的教法。因為工作上的需求，最近要到國外去參加展覽。雖然平時工作上也會使用到英文，但一直對自己的口語表達感到不夠流利，所以對於這次的出差有些緊張和不安。 老師非常專業且耐心的先了解了我的需求和現狀，針對我的弱點給予了非常實用的建議。在課程中，也使用了一些簡單易懂的方式講解，雖然只是一堂體驗課，但也了解了許多商用英文的實用表達，特別是一些在展覽場合常用的專業詞彙和句型。 除了理論上的講解，老師還模擬了一兩個我可能會遇到的對話情境，讓我親自練習。這些模擬對話非常貼近實際，像是如何回答參展者的問題、以及如何與其他參加者做交流等。這些練習不僅提升了我的口語能力，也大大增強了我的自信心。 在老師的引導下，我逐漸掌握了一些關鍵的表達技巧。例如，如何在對話中表達自己的觀點，以及如何用禮貌且專業的方式應對不同的問題。老師還特別強調了英語口語中的語調和語速，這些細節對於提升交流效果非常重要。 短短的體驗課程，馬上就可以讓我感受到自己的進步。過去，我總是擔心自己的口語不夠好，害怕在正式場合中出現語言上的障礙。但現在，我多了一點自信，覺得自己能夠更流利地表達。這次的課程不僅提高了我的英語能力，也讓我對接下來的出差感到不會這麼緊張。 但因為只是體驗課，時間的關係上很多內容都只能點到為止，接下會繼續參加老師的課程，進一步提升自己的英語水平。很感謝Yoyo老師的專業指導和耐心教學。老師的課程真的是一個非常值得的投資。 謝謝老師，也期待未來能有更多進步的機會。

身為一位標準台灣教育體制下長大的小孩，英文對話不只是我，也是大部分人的惡夢，但如何戳破這場惡夢就只能靠自己去正面迎擊了。 從小到大，英文的讀跟寫是我們在校最被強調的，因為升學考試只著重於兩個部分，這樣長期下來我們的讀和寫一直都會比聽和說要來得好，像是我們都能看懂某些字，但當聽到以及要嘗試說這些字的時候我們未必能很快的即時反應，因為你未曾聽過那些字，也不會知道那該如何發音，所以這樣的情況造成我個人會害怕，沒有自信去聽別人說甚至是去講，這是騙不了人的，例如我到韓國旅遊，那時在青年旅館內的旅客在電梯問我說「where are you from ?」，我回答「Taiwan！」，然後呢，然後就沒有然後了，現在想起來我應該接下去問他們從哪來，為什麼來這裡，但礙於那時對於英語的口說是有些心理障礙，因此也不敢提起勇氣再繼續談論下去，這讓我失去了一個交朋友的機會，也失去能夠去了解國外文化的機會。 這件事情總在我心裡放了很久，我覺得失去這些機會是很可惜的事，也瞭解到我應該著重在聽以及說上面，當我能聽懂或是能很流暢地表達自己的想法，就能夠能無痛地去和國外的朋友聊天，甚至，能應用在工作的場域。 總之，對英文或者是對其他語言來說其本身被創造的目標本來就是為了用來應付考試，而是在於用來溝通，因此我身為一位沒有留過學的英語苦手，只有自己去尋求資源、創造學習環境，以及加上不斷地練習才能讓這些可惜的事不再發生。 我喜歡Yoyo是因為喜歡的老師會即時打下你說的話，然後先給予像是聊天的反饋後再來看你說的句子正不正確，哪裡可以怎麼說會比較自然，整體來說你不會只是一直被糾正，也能聽到老師聊他自身有趣的經驗，這樣的方式我認為是最好的，這也是我判斷老師好不好的方式之一，你並不是單方面的輸出，老師也會給予任何議題上他所知道的知識以及看法。而且2-4人的小班制教學，能讓你在50分鐘的課程中，不斷的開口說英文。 我認為在台灣的教育環境中，很多人很害怕犯錯。但是，Yoyo老師傳達給我的想法是，語言學習就是不斷從錯誤中學習，在學習語言的過程中「犯錯」是很重要的元素。在和老師上課的過程中，我可以見識到不同國家的文化，不論是飲食、服裝、住宿、交通或是娛樂都可以在課堂上和老師討論。 原本我很害怕上課要用全英文授課，但是從第一堂課開始，老師的教學方式讓我感到自在。上課的氣氛不會像教科書式的死板，複習過程中也會有很大的收穫。此外，排課方式相當簡單且彈性十足。我建議一開始不要給自己太多壓力，每週上1到2堂課，好好完成作業，之後再逐漸增加課程量。我相信大家都能對自己的進步感到滿意。 在這一年多以來的學習中，我的英文口說能力大幅提升，每次都很期待下次的課程。我鼓勵大家在學期間充分利用時間上課並且掌握老師給的資源，對現在和未來一定都會有很大的幫助。 As a child who grew up in the standard Taiwanese education system, English conversation has been a nightmare not only for me but also for most people. However, breaking this nightmare is something that can only be achieved by confronting it head-on ourselves. From a young age, reading and writing in English have been the most emphasized aspects in school because the entrance exams focus solely on these two parts. Over time, our reading and writing skills have become much better than our listening and speaking skills. For instance, we can understand certain words, but when we hear them or try to say them, we may not be able to react quickly because we've never heard those words before and don't know how to pronounce them. This situation has caused me to be afraid and lack confidence in listening to and speaking with others. This is an undeniable truth. For example, when I traveled to Korea, a traveller in the youth hostel asked me in the elevator, "Where are you from?" I replied, "Taiwan!" And then... there was nothing else. Now, thinking back, I should have asked them where they were from and why they were there. But at that time, due to my psychological barrier to speaking English, I didn't have the courage to continue the conversation. This made me lose an opportunity to make friends and learn about foreign cultures. This matter has stayed in my mind for a long time. I feel it's a pity to miss these opportunities, and I realize I should focus on listening and speaking. When I can understand and express my thoughts fluently, I will be able to chat with foreign friends without any barriers and even apply it in my work environment. In short, the purpose of learning English or any other language is not to pass exams but to communicate. As someone who has never studied abroad and struggles with English, I have to seek resources, create a learning environment, and practice continuously to prevent these regrettable situations from happening again. I like Yoyo because she will immediately note down what you say, give feedback like having a conversation, and then review whether your sentences are correct and how to say them more naturally. Overall, you won't be just constantly corrected; you will also hear the teacher share interesting experiences. This method is, in my opinion, the best. It’s also one of the ways I judge whether a teacher is good or not. You are not just outputting; the teacher will also provide knowledge and views on any topic. Additionally, the small class size of 1-4 people allows you to continuously speak English during the 50-minute class. I think many people in Taiwan's educational environment are very afraid of making mistakes. However, what Yoyo's teacher has conveyed to me is that language learning is about constantly learning from mistakes. Making mistakes is an important element in the process of learning a language. During the classes with the teacher, I can learn about different countries' cultures. Whether it’s food, clothing, housing, transportation, or entertainment, these can all be discussed in class.
