如何听收音机学语言？

Did you ever study another language without feeling like you understood how it's really spoken? Would you like to get better at understanding speech in another language? One way to improve your listening skills and learn to understand native speakers when they speak at a normal rate is to listen to the radio in the language you're studying. Listening carefully can also help you improve your accent and fluency when you speak. Here's how to get the most out of your experience.
你有没有过这样的语言学习经历，觉得自己虽然在学习语言，却不懂这门语言到底是怎么说的？想不想对另一种语言表达有更好的理解？其中一种提高听力能力和学习母语人士正常说话的方式就是听收音机。仔细听，能帮助你提高发音和语言的流利程度。我们的经验之谈如下：

1.Find a radio station broadcasting in the language you are studying.
找个用你正在学习的语言广播节目的无线电台。

2.Try a few different stations until you find one(s) that seem to work best.
在找到最好的电台前，多试试其他的可能。

Skip the loudmouth DJs who probably don't make much sense even to those who do speak the language. For learning the language, you'll be better off if you can find a station that focuses more on things like news, weather, and call-in advice programs.
跳过那些充斥着大嘴巴主持人的音乐电台，因为就算是母语人士来听，也不会觉得他们的节目有多少语言学习意义。要学习语言，最好是找一个更专注于新闻、天气和热线建议等的电台栏目。

3．Set aside some time each day to listen.
每天留出一点时间来听节目。

Even if you only listen for five or ten minutes each day, you'll still be exposed to the language, and that's what you are trying to do.
就算每天只听四到五分钟，只要你持续接触这种语言，你也会有所收获的。

4．Don't worry if you don't understand anything at first.
一开始什么都不懂也别担心。

If you're only getting the occasional word, you're still getting something. Even if you don't understand a word, you're still hearing the intonation and rhythm, the sound and the flow of the language. As you progress, you'll get better at picking out words and interpreting their meanings as they flow past at the speed of speech. This intonation and rhythm is also part of the accent that you will develop.
刚开始你可能只能听懂零星的几个单词，但是你还是能学到些东西的。即使你一个单词都不懂也没关系，因为你在听语音语调和节奏，你在听语言的声音和旋律。随着你不断进步， 当单词以演讲的速度出现时，你会很快的把它从句子中挑出来并说出它的意思。语调和节奏也是口音中你会学到的东西。

5. Use any contextual clues available to you to begin to understand what you hear.
刚开始理解所听到的内容时，记得使用所有的上下文线索。

One place to start is to listen to things that repeat.
听重复的内容会是个好开头。
