[English]

Hello everyone! Welcome to "Everyday Chinese"! I am Wang Yu.

Hello everyone! I am Li Ming. It's a pleasure to meet you all again.

Yes, Li Ming. Our podcast "Everyday Chinese" hopes to help everyone learn Chinese in the simplest and most interesting way.

That's right. We hope that learning Chinese will not be a difficult thing, but a happy thing. Every day, you can make a little progress.

Very well said! So what are we going to talk about today?

Today we are going to talk about a very healthy and useful topic.

This method allows you to exercise and learn Chinese at the same time.

Oh? So good? Tell everyone what it is!

Today’s topic is: “Walking and listening to podcasts—a simple yet profound journey.”

Wow, walking and listening to podcasts! It's really a great combination.

It sounds simple, but what does "profound" mean?

Well, we will slowly tell you about this "profound" in later programs. It will make your learning more interesting and your memory clearer.

I'm looking forward to it! Dear listeners, if you are also interested in this topic, or if you like our podcast, please remember to subscribe to us so that you will not miss the exciting content of every episode.

Okay, let’s start today’s journey now!

Okay, Li Ming. Let’s talk about the first part first. Why is "walking" and "listening to podcasts" a good combination?

This is a good question. Wang Yu, do you usually like to take a walk?

I like it very much! Every day after dinner, I go to the small park next to my house for a walk. I feel very relaxed and all the fatigue from the day is gone. And you?

I like it too. I think walking is very good for our body. We can breathe fresh air and see the scenery on the roadside, which is also good for our eyes.

Yes, especially many of us sit in the office and look at the computer during the day. It's really important to go out for a walk at night and move your body. Therefore, walking is good for your "body".

Yes, "body", body. What about listening to podcasts? What are the benefits of listening to podcasts?

Well...listening to podcasts is of course good for our brains! We can learn new knowledge, hear interesting stories and practice our listening.

Absolutely correct! Listening to podcasts is good for our “brains”. "Brain", brain. So you see, walking is good for your health. Listening to podcasts is good for your brain. Doing these two things together is good for both the body and the mind. Isn't it a perfect combination?

Really! Kill two birds with one stone! Moreover, I think it also has a very big benefit, which is "saving time".

Oh? Save time? How to say?

You see, many people say: "I really want to learn Chinese, but I am too busy and don't have time." Have you heard this?

I’ve heard it, too many. Many students say this. They have to go to work and go to school, and they have to cook and do housework when they get home. They feel that there is never enough time.

Right. But, everyone has to walk every day, right? For example, walking from home to the MRT station, or walking from work to a restaurant to eat. We can make use of this walking time.

I understand! You mean, during these walking times, we can put on our headphones and listen to our Chinese podcast. Like "Everyday Chinese"!

That’s what it means! This way, your walking time is not wasted. You are walking and learning at the same time. Walking is exercise, listening to Chinese is learning. One thing, two gains.

This method is really smart. It naturally integrates learning Chinese into our daily lives.

You don’t need to set aside an hour every day to sit in front of your desk and study.

You just need to listen when you are walking.

Yes. This way, there will be less pressure to study and it will be easier to persevere.

So, to summarize the first part, taking a walk and listening to podcasts is good for our bodies and our brains. It can also help us save time and learn easily.

makes it very clear. Many friends may ask, it sounds good, but how should I start? Will it be difficult?

Let’s talk about this next.

Right, let’s talk about the second part: How to start? Li Ming, do you think you need to prepare a lot of things to start doing this? Will it be troublesome?

No trouble at all! I think it is very, very simple to start this "walking and listening to podcasts" plan. You only need three things.

Oh? Only need three things? What is it? Tell us soon.

The first thing, and one of the most important things, is "a pair of comfortable shoes."

Haha, shoes! I agree with this. If the shoes are uncomfortable, walking will be tiring, and your feet will hurt, then it is not enjoyment, but pain.

That's right. Therefore, a pair of well-fitting and comfortable sneakers or walking shoes is very important. This is the basis for our enjoyable walks.

Okay, comfortable shoes, I remember. What about the second thing?

The second thing, I believe every listener has. That is, "a mobile phone".

Mobile phone? Of course, who doesn’t have a mobile phone these days? We use our phones to make calls, send messages, read the news... and of course, listen to podcasts!

Right. Our podcasts are listened to through mobile phones. Therefore, you need a mobile phone that can access the Internet and play sounds. This shouldn't be a problem.

Definitely not a problem. Okay, we have comfortable shoes and cell phones. What about the third thing?

The third thing is a pair of "headphones".

Headphones! Yes, this is also important. When walking outside, there may be a lot of sounds of cars or other people talking around you.

Wearing headphones allows us to hear the sounds in the podcast more clearly.

Yes. Moreover, listening with headphones will not disturb others. We can study quietly in our own world. It doesn't matter if it's a wireless Bluetooth headset or a wired headset.

Well, I understand. So, all we need are three things: a pair of comfortable shoes, a mobile phone, and a pair of headphones. Is it that simple?

It’s that simple! After preparing these three things, you only need to do a few steps:

First, find a podcast software on your mobile phone.

Second, search for your favorite Chinese learning podcasts, such as "Everyday Chinese".

Third, click Subscribe and then select an episode of the show that interests you.

What then?

Then, put on your headphones, put your phone in your pocket, walk out your door and take a walk!

You see, the whole process may only take two or three minutes.

Really, hearing you say it, I think anyone can start right away.

No complicated planning is required, and no need to spend a lot of money.

This method is really "people-friendly" and friendly.

Yes. The most important thing is to "start taking action". Don't think too much.

After listening to our podcast today, you can put on your shoes and go out and give them a try.

What a great idea! Then comes the next question. What should we listen to?

There are so many podcasts in the world, how should we choose?

Good question! This is what we are going to talk about in the third part.

Okay, Li Ming, let’s talk about the third part now: What should we listen to?

For Chinese learners, especially those who are just starting to learn, it is very important to choose appropriate listening materials.

You are right. If the content you choose is too difficult and you can’t understand it, it’s easy to give up.

If it’s too simple, you feel like you can’t learn anything new.

Therefore, choosing "appropriate" content is the key.

Do you have any suggestions for our audience, such as HSK level one to level four learners?

My first suggestion is to choose a podcast specifically made for Chinese learners.

Just like our "Everyday Chinese", right?

Yes! Because there are two biggest benefits to a podcast like this.

First, the host speaks slowly.

They will speak slowly and clearly so that you can hear the pronunciation of each word clearly.

Well, speaking speed is very important. If Chinese people chat as fast as usual, beginners will definitely not be able to keep up.

Second, such podcasts will use simpler words and sentences.

Vocabulary and grammar are generally controlled to a certain level, such as within HSK level 4. This way, you won't sound so labored.

I understand. Therefore, the first step is to find a podcast like "Everyday Chinese" that is specially made for learners.

So what kind of topics should we choose in these podcasts?

This depends on your own level of Chinese.

For example, if you are HSK Level 1 or 2,

you can choose programs about the most basic life conversations.

What about an example?

For example, a podcast is about "How to order food in a restaurant."

It may teach you to say "Hello, I want a Kung Pao Chicken" or "Waiter, check out."

These are very practical and basic contents.

Yes, there are also topics like "How to ask for directions" and "How to introduce your name and country".

These topics are very suitable for beginners.

After listening to it, you can use it in your life immediately.

Yes. If your level is higher,

such as HSK level 3 or 4,

you can challenge some richer topics.

For example?

You can listen to some introductions about Chinese culture.

For example, traditional festivals such as Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Podcast will tell you the stories of these festivals,

what Chinese people eat and do.

Oh, this is very interesting!

By listening to these contents, you can not only learn the language, but also understand the culture.

That's right.

Or, you can also listen to some programs about food from various places.

Introducing Beijing Roast Duck, Sichuan Hot Pot, and Shanghai Xiao Long Bao.

Listening to this while walking may make you feel hungry.

Haha, then I will be more motivated to take a walk. I can walk home quickly for dinner!

In addition to culture and food, is there anything else?

Of course. You can also hear some real stories about life in the Chinese area.

For example, how does a host spend a day in Beijing?

What did he eat in the morning, take the subway to work, and where did he go with his friends in the evening.

These true stories will make you feel Chinese is more "live" and interesting.

I couldn't agree more.

So, to sum up, the key to choosing what content to listen to is to "match your current level of Chinese."

Don't rush, take it step by step.

Start with simple conversations and slowly transition to more complex topics such as culture and stories.

Yes. Find the content that suits you and you will find that walking and listening to podcasts is a very enjoyable thing.

Next, let’s give you a more specific example, okay?

OK! Let’s do a small mock conversation to give everyone a feel.

Okay, let's imagine a situation now. This situation can help everyone better understand how

listening to podcasts while walking helps us learn.

OK, what kind of situation is it?

Let's imagine that we have a listener whose Chinese name is Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang is a foreigner who is learning Chinese. He now lives in Shanghai.

Okay, Xiao Zhang is in Shanghai.

It was a weekend afternoon, the weather was very nice, neither cold nor hot.

Xiao Zhang decided to go for a walk in the park near his home.

He put on his headphones and opened our podcast "Everyday Chinese".

Haha, thank you Xiao Zhang for your support! So which episode is he listening to?

He was listening to an episode we did before, the topic was "How to take public transportation".

In that episode, we introduced a lot of words and sentences about taking the bus and taking the MRT.

Okay. Now let’s play the role of host and dialogue in that podcast episode, shall we?

No problem. I'll play the male host of the podcast, and you'll play the female host. Let’s have a conversation about taking the MRT.

Okay, let's get started.

(Imitating the voice in the Podcast) "Hello everyone, welcome to Daily Chinese. Today we are going to talk about how to take the MRT. In big cities in Chinese areas, taking the MRT is very convenient. Wang Yu, do you know what the first step is to take the MRT?"

(Imitating the voice in the Podcast) "Of course! The first step is to buy a ticket. You can go to the service center to buy a ticket, or you can buy a ticket at a ticket vending machine."

(Imitating the voice in the Podcast) "Yes. At the ticket vending machine, you first select the station you want to go to, and then choose how many tickets you want to buy. For example, I want to go to People's Square and buy a ticket."

(Imitating the voice in the Podcast) "Yes. Then you put the money in and the tickets come out. Now it's more convenient, you can pay directly with your mobile phone."

(Imitating the Podcast) Voice in) "After buying the ticket, the next step is "security check".

You need to put your bag on the machine for inspection."

(Imitating the voice in the podcast) "After security check, it is "entering the station". You swipe your ticket or mobile phone, and the gate will open."

Okay, that's the end of our simulated conversation. Now, let's go back to Xiao Zhang.

He listened to our conversation while walking in the park.

Well, he heard the words "buy a ticket", "ticket vending machine", "People's Square", "security check", and "enter the station".

Right. At this time, although he was only in the park,

his mind had already begun to imagine the entire process of taking the MRT.

He may follow us in his mind and say: "buy a ticket" or "security check".

This is a good exercise.

More importantly, this learning method connects language with real life situations.

The next day, Xiao Zhang really had to take the MRT.

When he walks to the MRT station and sees the words "ticket vending machine",

he will immediately think of the podcast he heard yesterday!

He will think: "Ah! I heard this word yesterday! 'Ticket vending machine'!"

He will feel a special sense of accomplishment.

Absolutely correct!

Then, when he sees people putting their bags on the machine for inspection,

he will think, "Ah, this is the "security check"".

When he swipes his card to enter the station, he will think "I am now entering the station."

Wow! In this way, learning is no longer just memorizing words from a book.

These words and sentences are all connected with his own life experience.

Is this the "profound" journey you mentioned at the beginning?

That’s right! This is what "profound" means.

Knowledge is no longer dead, but alive.

The information you hear through your ears, the real world you see through your eyes, and the actions of your body (walking) are combined together.

Such learning will be very effective and difficult to forget.

I totally get it. This example is too vivid.

Therefore, walking and listening to podcasts is not just listening, but also a process of "rehearsing" in the brain and "reviewing" in life.

Yes. In order to make this process more efficient,

We also have some tips to share with you.

Great! Let’s move on to the next section and talk about these practical tips.

Okay, Li Ming. We already know why this method is good,

how to get started, and what to listen for.

Now, let’s share some very practical tips, which is the fifth part: Tips for listening while walking, to help you maximize the learning effect.

Okay. My first tip is: Don’t be afraid of repetition.

Repeat? What's the meaning?

This means that when you hear a new word in the podcast that you find useful or that you are not familiar with, you can press the pause button.

Oh, pause. What then?

Then, you can whisper the word several times to yourself.

For example, today we learned a word, "comfortable".

You can pause and say to yourself: "Comfortable, shūfu, comfortable."

Try to imitate the pronunciation and intonation of the podcast host.

This method is great! Because when walking, the surroundings are generally freer, so

it doesn't matter if you whisper a few words. This allows you to practice pronunciation immediately and deepen your memory.

Right. Don't feel embarrassed. Learning a language means speaking more.

This is the first tip: active repetition.

My second tip is: focus on the main meaning, don’t get hung up on every word.

This is also very important. Many learners, especially beginners, always want to understand every word.

If they don't understand a word, they will feel very nervous and frustrated.

Yes. In fact, it is completely unnecessary.

When listening to a passage, our goal is to understand its "main meaning."

All you need to know is what this passage is about.

It’s normal to have a few words you don’t recognize. Even native speakers will have words they don’t recognize when listening to some professional content.

What should you do if you encounter a word you don’t recognize?

You can try to guess what it means.

Make a guess based on the context, that is, the words before and after the word.

If you guess it correctly, you will feel very accomplished. It doesn't matter if you guess wrong.

After you go home after listening, you can check it again.

The most important thing is, don’t stop listening just because you don’t understand one or two words.

Maintain listening continuity.

That's right. Relax and enjoy the listening process.

Okay, this is the second tip. Do you have any other tips?

My third tip is: choose a walk that you are familiar with.

Oh? Why choose the familiar route?

Isn’t it more fun to explore new places?

It’s fun to explore new places.

However, our main purpose now is to "learn Chinese".

If you go to a completely unfamiliar place,

you need to spend a lot of energy looking at the road and map,

pay attention to whether the surrounding environment is safe.

In this way, your brain will not be able to concentrate on listening to Chinese.

I understand. If you are taking a route that you are very familiar with,

such as the path below your house, or the park you go to every day.

You know where to turn even with your eyes closed.

It’s too exaggerated, you can’t close your eyes! But that’s what it means.

On a familiar road, your body is in "autopilot" mode,

and your brain can completely relax and focus all your attention on listening to podcasts.

This is such a smart and thoughtful suggestion!

Safety comes first while also ensuring learning efficiency.

Okay, repeat, focus and take the familiar path.

Any more?

There is another one, about after the walk.

I suggest that after you get home from a walk, take five to ten minutes to do a quick review.

Review? How to do it specifically?

You can think about it in your mind:

"What interesting content did I hear during my walk today?

What new words did I learn?"

For example, after listening to our program today, you can review:

"Oh, today I learned "walking sànbù", "Podcast bōkè", "body shēntǐ", and "brain" "dànǎo", "comfortable shūfu", "simple jiǎndān", "profound shēnkè".

Well, go through these new words in your head.

It would be better if you could get a small notebook and write it down.

Yes! A good memory is worse than a bad pen.

Write them down and look at them again the next day.

These words will slowly become your own.

This cycle of "study-practice-review" is a very effective learning method.

Great! These tips are very specific and very useful.

I believe that as long as the listeners follow these instructions, their Chinese listening skills will be improved quickly.

I hope so. We talked so much and the time was almost up.

Let’s summarize today’s content.

Okay. Time flies so fast and it’s time to say goodbye to our show again.

Today we share with you a simple and profound learning method, which is "walking and listening to podcasts".

Yes. We started by talking about why this is a good approach.

Because it is good for our bodies and minds, and it can also help us use our spare time to learn Chinese, which is very efficient.

Then, we said that starting this project is very simple.

You only need to prepare three things: a pair of comfortable shoes, a mobile phone, and a pair of headphones.

Anyone can get started right away.

In terms of what content to listen to, we recommend that you choose according to your Chinese proficiency (such as HSK level).

Start with simple daily conversations, and slowly you can listen to some programs about culture, food or life stories.

The most important thing is to choose a podcast like our "Daily Chinese" that is specially produced for learners.

We also shared some very practical tips, hoping to help everyone learn better.

For example, when you hear new words, you must dare to pause and repeat;

When listening, you must focus on the main meaning and don't get hung up on details;

It is best to choose a familiar road for a walk; also, after walking home, take a few minutes to review.

That’s right. Finally, let’s review some important words that appeared in today’s program.

Okay. First, take a walk.

To take a walk.

Podcast.

Podcast, podcast.

Simple.

Simple, simple.

Profound.

Profound, deep.

Body.

Body, body.

Brain. Brain, brain.

Comfortable.

Comfortable.

I hope today's episode of "Everyday Chinese" will be helpful to you.

Learning Chinese is like taking a walk. One small step every day can go a long way in the end.

Yes, persistence is the most important thing.

大家好！歡迎收聽「每天中文」！我是王雨。

大家好！我是李明。很高興又和大家見面了。

是啊，李明。我們的 Podcast「每天中文」，就是希望用最簡單、最有趣的方式，幫助大家學中文。

沒錯。我們希望學中文不是一件困難的事，而是一件快樂的事。每一天，你都可以進步一點點。

說得太好了！那我們今天來聊什麼話題呢？

今天我們要聊一個非常健康，也很有用的話題。

這個方法，可以讓你一邊運動，一邊學中文。

哦？這麼好？快告訴大家是什麼！

今天的話題就是：「散步加聽 Podcast——一個簡單又深刻的旅程」。

哇，散步和聽 Podcast！這真的是一個很棒的組合。

聽起來很簡單，但是「深刻」是什麼意思呢？

嗯，這個「深刻」，我們會在後面的節目裡慢慢告訴大家。它會讓你的學習變得更有意思，也記得更清楚。

我非常期待！親愛的聽眾朋友們，如果你也對這個話題感興趣，或者你喜歡我們的 Podcast，請記得訂閱我們，這樣就不會錯過每一集的精彩內容了。

好的，那我們現在就開始今天的旅程吧！

好的，李明。我們先來聊聊第一部分吧。為什麼說「散步」和「聽 Podcast」是個很好的組合呢？

這是個很好的問題。王雨，妳平常喜歡散步嗎？

我非常喜歡！每天吃完晚飯，我都會去我家旁邊的小公園走一走。感覺特別放鬆，一天的疲勞都沒有了。你呢？

我也很喜歡。我覺得散步對我們的身體特別好。我們可以呼吸新鮮的空氣，看看路邊的風景，對眼睛也好。

對啊，特別是我們很多人，白天都在辦公室裡坐著，看著電腦。晚上出去走一走，活動一下身體，真的非常重要。所以，散步對「身體」好。

是的，「身體」，body。那聽 Podcast 呢？聽 Podcast 對什麼好？

嗯……聽 Podcast，當然是對我們的大腦好啦！我們可以學習新的知識，聽到有趣的故事，練習我們的聽力。

完全正確！聽 Podcast 對我們的「大脑」好。「大腦」，brain。所以你看，散步，對身體好。聽 Podcast，對大腦好。把這兩件事放在一起做，就是同時對身體和頭腦都好。是不是一個完美的組合？

真的耶！一舉兩得！而且，我覺得它還有一個非常大的好處，就是「節省時間」。

哦？節省時間？怎麼說？

你看，很多人都說：「我很想學中文，但是我太忙了，沒有時間。」你聽過這樣的話嗎？

聽過，太多了。很多學生都這麼說。他們要上班、要上學，回家還要煮飯、做家事，感覺時間總是不夠用。

對。但是，每個人每天總要走路吧？比方說，從家裡走到捷運站，或是從公司走到餐廳去吃飯。這些走路的時間，我們就可以利用起來。

我明白了！你的意思是，在這些走路的時間裡，我們可以戴上耳機，聽我們的中文 Podcast。像是「每天中文」！

就是這個意思！這樣，你走路的時間就沒有浪費。你一邊在走路，一邊在學習。走路是鍛鍊身體，聽中文是學習。一件事，兩個收穫。

這個方法真的太聰明了。它把學中文這件事，很自然地放進了我們的日常生活裡。

你不需要每天特地空出一個小時，坐在書桌前面學習。

你只需要在你走路的時候，聽一聽就可以了。

是的。這樣學習就沒有那麼大的壓力，也更容易堅持下去。

所以，總結一下第一部分，散步加聽 Podcast，對我們的身體好，對我們的大腦好，還能幫助我們節省時間，輕鬆地學習。

說得非常清楚。那很多朋友可能會問，聽起來很不錯，但是我應該怎麼開始呢？會不會很難？

我們接下來就來聊聊這個。

對，我們來聊聊第二部分：怎麼開始呢？李明，你覺得開始做這件事，需要準備很多東西嗎？會不會很麻煩？

一點兒也不麻煩！我覺得，開始這個「散步加聽 Podcast」的計畫，非常非常簡單。你只需要三樣東西。

哦？只需要三樣東西？是什麼呢？快告訴我們。

第一樣東西，也是最重要的東西之一，就是「一雙舒服的鞋子」。

哈哈，鞋子！這個我同意。如果鞋子不舒服，走路會很累，腳會痛，那就不是享受了，是痛苦。

沒錯。所以，一雙合腳的、舒服的運動鞋或走路的鞋子，非常重要。這是我們愉快散步的基礎。

好的，舒服的鞋子，我記住了。那第二樣東西呢？

第二樣東西，我相信每個聽眾朋友都有。那就是，「一支手機」。

手機？當然了，現在誰沒有手機呢。我們用手機打電話、傳訊息、看新聞……當然，還有聽 Podcast！

對。我們的 Podcast，就是透過手機來聽的。所以，你需要一支能上網、能播放聲音的手機。這應該不是問題。

肯定不是問題。好了，我們有舒服的鞋子，有手機了。那第三樣東西呢？

第三樣東西，是一副「耳機」。

耳機！對，這個也很重要。在外面走路的時候，周圍可能會有很多車子的聲音，或其他人的說話聲。

戴上耳機，我們就能更清楚地聽到 Podcast 裡的聲音。

是的。而且，戴上耳機聽，也不會打擾到別人。我們可以在自己的世界裡，安安靜靜地學習。不管是無線的藍牙耳機，還是有線的耳機，都可以。

嗯，我明白了。所以，我們需要的就三樣東西：一雙舒服的鞋子，一支手機，一副耳機。就這麼簡單？

就這麼簡單！準備好這三樣東西以後，你只需要做幾個步驟：

第一，在你的手機上找到一個 Podcast 軟體。

第二，搜尋你喜歡的中文學習 Podcast，像是「每天中文」。

第三，點擊訂閱，然後選擇一集你感興趣的節目。

然後呢？

然後，戴上耳機，把手機放進口袋裡，走出你家門，開始散步！

你看，整個過程，可能只需要兩三分鐘。

真的，聽你這麼一說，我覺得任何人都可以馬上開始。

不需要複雜的計畫，也不需要花很多錢。

這個方法真的很「親民」，很友善。

是的。最重要的就是「開始行動」。不要想太多。

今天聽完我們的 Podcast，你就可以穿上鞋子，出去試一試。

好主意！那下一個問題來了。我們應該聽什麼呢？

世界上的 Podcast 那麼多，我們應該怎麼選擇呢？

問得好！這就是我們第三部分要聊的內容了。

好的，李明，我們現在來聊第三部分：我們應該聽什麼內容呢？

對於中文學習者來說，特別是剛開始學的朋友，選擇合適的聽力材料非常重要。

你說得對。如果選擇的內容太難，聽不懂，就很容易放棄。

如果太簡單，又覺得學不到新東西。

所以，選擇「合適的」內容是關鍵。

那對於我們的聽眾，比如 HSK 一級到四級的學習者，你有什麼建議嗎？

我的第一個建議是，一定要選擇專門為中文學習者製作的 Podcast。

就像我們的「每天中文」一樣，對嗎？

對！因為這樣的 Podcast，有兩個最大的好處。

第一，主持人的語速比較慢。

他們會說得很慢、很清楚，讓你能聽清楚每一個字的發音。

嗯，語速很重要。如果像平常華人聊天那麼快，初學者肯定跟不上。

第二，這樣的 Podcast 會使用比較簡單的詞語和句子。

詞彙量和文法，一般都會控制在一定的程度，比如 HSK 四級以內。這樣，你聽起來就不會那麼吃力。

我明白了。所以，第一步是找到像「每天中文」這樣，專門為學習者做的 Podcast。

那在這些 Podcast 裡，我們應該選擇什麼樣的話題呢？

這個就要看你自己的中文程度了。

比方說，如果你是 HSK 一級或二級的程度，

你可以選擇那些關於最基本生活對話的節目。

舉個例子呢？

比方說，一集 Podcast 是關於「怎麼在餐廳點菜」的。

裡面可能會教你說「你好，我要一份宮保雞丁」或是「服務生，結帳」。

這些都是非常實用、非常基礎的內容。

對，還有像是「怎麼問路」、「怎麼介紹自己的名字和國家」，

這些話題都很適合初學者。

聽完之後，馬上就能在生活中用到。

是的。那如果你的程度高一點，

比如達到了 HSK 三級或四級的程度，

你就可以挑戰一些更豐富的話題了。

比如說呢？

你可以聽一些關於華人文化的介紹。

比如，傳統的節日，像是春節、中秋節。

Podcast 裡會跟你講這些節日的故事，

華人會吃什麼、做什麼。

哦，這個很有意思！

聽這些內容，不僅能學習語言，還能了解文化。

沒錯。

或者，你也可以聽一些關於各地美食的節目。

介紹北京烤鴨、四川火鍋、上海的小籠包。

一邊散步，一邊聽這些，可能會讓你覺得肚子餓了。

哈哈，那散步就更有動力了，可以快點走回家吃飯！

除了文化和美食，還有別的嗎？

當然有。你還可以聽一些關於在華人地區生活的真實故事。

比如，一個主持人在北京的一天是怎麼過的，

他早上吃了什麼，搭捷運去上班，晚上和朋友去了哪裡。

這些真實的故事會讓你覺得中文更「活」，更有趣。

我非常同意。

所以，總結一下，選擇聽什麼內容的關鍵，就是要「符合你現在的中文程度」。

不要急，一步一步來。

從簡單的對話開始，慢慢地過渡到文化、故事等更複雜的話題。

是的。找到適合你的內容，你會發現，散步聽 Podcast 是一件非常享受的事情。

接下來，我們來給大家一個更具體的例子，好不好？

好啊！我們來做一個小小的模擬對話，讓大家感受一下。

好的，我們現在來想像一個情境。這個情境能幫助大家更好地理解，

一邊散步一邊聽 Podcast 是怎麼幫助我們學習的。

好啊，是什麼樣的情境呢？

我們想像一下，我們有一個聽眾，他的中文名字叫小張。

小張是一個正在學中文的外國人，他現在生活在上海。

好的，小張在上海。

一個週末的下午，天氣很好，不冷也不熱。

小張決定去他家附近的公園散步。

他戴上耳機，打開了我們的 Podcast「每天中文」。

哈哈，謝謝小張的支持！那他正在聽哪一集呢？

他正在聽我們之前做的一集，主題是「怎麼搭乘大眾運輸工具」。

那一集裡，我們介紹了很多關於搭公車和搭捷運的詞語和句子。

好的。那們現在就來扮演一下那一集 Podcast 裡的主持人和對話，好嗎？

沒問題。我來扮演 Podcast 裡的男主持人，妳來扮演女主持人。我們來一段關於搭捷運的對話。

好的，開始吧。

（模仿 Podcast 裡的聲音）「大家好，歡迎收聽每天中文。今天我們來聊聊怎麼搭捷運。在華人地區的大城市，搭捷運非常方便。王雨，妳知道搭捷運第一步是什麼嗎？」

（模仿 Podcast 裡的聲音）「當然知道！第一步是買票。你可以去服務中心買票，也可以在自動售票機上買票。」

（模仿 Podcast 裡的聲音）「對。在自動售票機上，你要先選擇你要去的車站，然後選擇你要買幾張票。比方說，我要去『人民廣場』，買一張票。」

（模仿 Podcast 裡的聲音）「是的。然後，你把錢放進去，票就出來了。現在更方便了，可以直接用手機支付。」

（模仿 Podcast 裡的聲音）「買好票之後，下一步是『安檢』。

你需要把你的包包放在機器上檢查一下。」

（模仿 Podcast 裡的聲音）「安檢之後，就是『進站』。你刷一下你的車票或手機，閘門就開了。」

好，我們的模擬對話就到這裡。現在，我們回到小張。

他一邊在公園裡散步，一邊聽著我們的對話。

嗯，他聽到了「買票」、「自動售票機」、「人民廣場」、「安檢」、「進站」這些詞。

對。這個時候，雖然他只是在公園裡，

但是他的大腦裡，已經開始想像搭捷運的整個過程了。

他可能會在心裡跟著我們說：「買票」、「安檢」。

這是一種很好的練習。

更重要的是，這種學習方式，把語言和真實的生活情境連結起來了。

第二天，小張真的要去搭捷運了。

當他走到捷運站，看到「自動售票機」這五個字的時候，

他會立刻想起昨天聽到的 Podcast！

他會想：「啊！這個詞我昨天聽過！『自動售票機』！」

他會覺得特別有成就感。

完全正確！

然後，他看到人們把包包放在機器上檢查，

他會想到「啊，這就是『安檢』」。

他刷卡進站的時候，會想到「我現在在『進站』」。

哇！這樣一來，學習就不是在書本上背單字了。

這些詞語和句子，都和他自己的生活經驗連結在一起了。

這就是你一開始說的「深刻」的旅程吧？

沒錯！這就是「深刻」的意思。

知識不再是死的，而是活的。

你透過耳朵聽到的資訊，透過眼睛看到的真實世界，和你的身體的行動（走路），這三者結合在一起了。

這樣的學習，效果會非常好，而且很難忘記。

我完全明白了。這個例子太生動了。

所以，散步聽 Podcast，不僅僅是聽，更是一個在大腦裡「預演」和在生活中「複習」的過程。

是的。那為了讓這個過程更有效，

我們還有一些小技巧可以分享給大家。

太好了！我們快進入下一部分，聊一聊這些實用的小技巧。

好的，李明。我們已經知道了為什麼這個方法好，

怎麼開始，以及聽什麼內容。

現在，我們來分享一些非常實用的小技巧，也就是第五部分：邊走邊聽的小技巧，幫助大家把學習效果最大化。

好的。我的第一個技巧是：不要害怕重複。

重複？什麼意思？

意思就是，當你在 Podcast 裡聽到了一個你覺得很有用，或者你不太熟悉的新詞語時，你可以按一下暫停鍵。

哦，暫停一下。然後呢？

然後，你可以自己小聲地把那個詞語說幾遍。

比如，今天我們學了一個詞，「舒服」。

你就可以暫停，然後自己說：「舒服，shūfu，舒服」。

試著模仿 Podcast 裡主持人的發音和聲調。

這個方法很好！因為走路的時候，周圍一般比較自由，

小聲說幾句話也沒關係。這樣可以立刻練習發音，加深記憶。

對。不要覺得不好意思。學語言，就是要多說。

這是第一個技巧：主動重複。

我的第二個技巧是：專注在主要的意思，不要糾結每一個字。

這個也很重要。很多學習者，特別是初學者，總希望聽懂每一個字。

如果有一個詞聽不懂，他們就會覺得很緊張，很沮喪。

是的。其實完全沒有必要。

在聽一段話的時候，我們的目標是理解它的「主要意思」。

你只要知道這段話大概在講什麼就可以了。

有幾個詞不認識，非常正常，連母語者在聽一些專業內容的時候，也會有不認識的詞。

那如果遇到不認識的詞怎麼辦呢？

你可以試著猜一猜它的意思。

根據上下文，也就是這個詞語前面和後面的話，來猜測。

猜對了，你會很有成就感。猜錯了，也沒關係。

聽完回家以後，你可以再查一查。

最重要的是，不要因為一兩個詞聽不懂，就停下來，不聽了。

要保持聽的連貫性。

說得對。放鬆心情，享受聽的過程。

好，這是第二個技巧。你還有別的技巧嗎？

我的第三個技巧是：選擇一條你熟悉的路線去散步。

哦？為什麼要選擇熟悉的路線？

去新的地方探險不是更有趣嗎？

去新的地方探險當然有趣。

但是，我們現在的主要目的是「學中文」。

如果你去一個完全陌生的地方，

你需要花很多精力去看路、看地圖，

注意周圍的環境是不是安全。

這樣，你的大腦就沒有辦法集中精神去聽中文了。

我明白了。如果你走的是一條你非常熟悉的路線，

比如你家樓下的小路，或你每天都去的那個公園。

你閉著眼睛都知道哪裡要轉彎。

太誇張了啦，不能閉著眼睛！但意思是那個意思。

在熟悉的路上，你的身體是「自動駕駛」模式，

你的大腦就可以完全放鬆下來，把所有的注意力都放在聽 Podcast 上。

這真是一個非常聰明又貼心的建議！

安全第一，同時也能保證學習效率。

好了，重複、專注大意、走熟悉的路。

還有嗎？

還有一個，是關於散步結束後的。

我建議，散步回家後，花五到十分鐘的時間，快速回顧一下。

回顧？具體怎麼做呢？

你可以在腦子裡想一想：

「我今天這趟散步，聽到了哪些有意思的內容？

學到了哪些新的詞語？」

比方說，聽完我們今天的節目，你就可以回顧一下：

「哦，今天學了『散步 sànbù』、『Podcast bōkè』、『身體 shēntǐ』、『大腦 dànǎo』、『舒服 shūfu』、『簡單 jiǎndān』、『深刻 shēnkè』」。

嗯，把這些新詞在腦子裡過一遍。

如果能拿個小本子寫下來，那就更好了。

是的！好記性不如爛筆頭。

把它們寫下來，第二天再看一看，

這些詞語就慢慢變成你自己的了。

這個「學習-練習-回顧」的循環，是非常有效的學習方法。

太棒了！這些技巧都非常具體，非常有用。

我相信只要聽眾朋友們照著做，他們的中文聽力程度一定能提高得很快。

希望如此。我們聊了這麼多，時間也差不多了。

我們來總結一下今天的內容吧。

好的。時間過得真快，我們的節目又到了要說再見的時候了。

今天我們和大家分享了一個簡單又深刻的學習方法，就是「散步加聽 Podcast」。

是的。我們首先聊了，為什麼這是一個好方法。

因為它對我們的身體和頭腦都有好處，還能幫助我們利用零碎的時間來學中文，非常有效率。

然後，我們說了開始這個計畫非常簡單。

你只需要準備三樣東西：一雙舒服的鞋子，一支手機，和一副耳機。

任何人都可以馬上開始。

在聽什麼內容方面，我們建議大家根據自己的中文程度（比如 HSK 的等級）來選擇。

從簡單的日常生活對話開始，慢慢地可以聽一些關於文化、美食或生活故事的節目。

最重要的，是選擇像我們「每天中文」這樣，專門為學習者製作的 Podcast。

我們還分享了一些非常實用的小技巧，希望能幫助大家學得更好。

比如，聽到新詞要敢於暫停和重複；

聽的時候要專注主要的意思，不要糾結細節；

最好選擇一條熟悉的路散步；還有，散步回家後，要花幾分鐘回顧一下。

沒錯。最後，我們再來複習一下今天節目裡出現的一些重要的詞語。

好的。第一個，散步。

散步，to take a walk.

Podcast。

Podcast, podcast.

簡單。

簡單，simple.

深刻。

深刻，profound, deep.

身體。

身體，body.

大腦。大腦，brain.

舒服。

舒服，comfortable.

希望今天這一集的「每天中文」對你有幫助。

學中文就像散步一樣，每天一小步，最後就能走很遠的路。

是的，堅持是最重要的。
