Teach yourself a speech or monologue
自学演讲或戏剧独白
To begin, you should find your favorite scene from a movie or play, or a joke from your favorite stand-up comedian, and memorize it.
首先，你可以从电影或戏剧中找一个最喜欢的场景，或者从你最喜欢的脱口秀演员那里找到一个段子，并记住 它。
Read the passage and underline or highlight any phrases or expressions you don’t know. Look them up and practice using them in sentences so you can get comfortable using them. Then, take the monologue or speech and break it down into small sections. Start with memorizing just a few sentences at a time.
阅读短文，在你不知道的短语或表达下面划线或高亮显示。查出意思并练习在句子中使用它们，这样你就可以轻松自如地运用它们。然后，把独白或演讲分成几个小部分。从一次只记住几个句子开始。

Memorize your favorite quotes
to repeat out loud
记住你最喜欢的名言并大声跟读
If you’ve spent any time on social media, you know that quotes are an incredible way to connect with and inspire people instantly. And, if you don’t feel ready to memorize a speech yet, you should start with memorizing quotes.
如果你刷过社交媒体，你就会知道名言是一种特别好的的方式，可以即刻与人建立联系、鼓舞人心。如果你还没有准备好背诵演讲稿，你可以先从背诵名言开始。
#3
Memorize your favorite song,
and sing it!
记住你最喜欢的歌，然后唱出来！
In a 2013 study conducted at the Reid School of Music in Edinburgh, researchers discovered that adults who sang in a new language instead of just speaking it performed better on a series of language tests.
2013年，爱丁堡里德音乐学院（Reid School of Music In Edinburgh）进行了一项研究，研究人员发能把新语言唱出来的成年人，比那些只能说出来的成年人，在一系列语言测试中表现更佳。
For your first song, try not to choose something that’s too challenging or fast-paced, but do choose a song that you really enjoy so that you’ll want to listen to it again and again.
第一首歌，尽量不要选择太有挑战性或节奏太快的歌，但一定要选择一首你真正喜欢的歌，这样你才会愿意一遍又一遍地听。
#4
Memorize a poem that speaks to you
记住一首对你有意义的诗
Poetry is often powerful and emotional, and anything that can help you connect emotion to learning English will help you retain more vocabulary.
诗歌通常是强有力的、充满情感的，任何能帮助你将情感与英语学习联系起来的东西都能帮助你记住更多的词汇。
And, just like with the quotes, you can give yourself a small goal of memorizing a short poem every week and reciting it out loud to anyone who will listen.
就像名言一样，你可以给自己定一个小目标，每周背一首短诗，并大声背诵给任何愿意听的人听。
#5
Have a discussion with yourself
与自己交流
If this idea sounds good to you, give yourself the initial goal of answering three questions a day out loud. You can record yourself or write your answers down, too, but make sure that you actually answer the questions out loud.
如果你觉得这个主意不错，那就给自己定一个最初的目标，每天大声回答三个问题。你也可以记录你自己或写下你的答案，但要确保你真的大声回答了问题。
#6
Dictate your ideas instead of
writing them down
口述你的想法，而不是写下来
It takes a little bit of practice to get used to dictation in the beginning, so be patient with yourself. To start, create a Dictation Diary and commit to dictating your thoughts for five 
minutes a day or fifteen minutes per week.
一开始，你需要一些练习才能习惯口述 ，所以要对自己有耐心。首先，创建一个口述日记，并保证每天花五分钟或每周十五分钟来口述你的想法。
#7
Use a voice recording app
使用语音记录APP
If you’re someone who likes to review yourself to check your progress and listen for mistakes, you should definitely try using a voice recording app.
如果你喜欢自我检讨，检查自身进展，查漏补缺，那么你绝对要尝试语音记录APP。
You can use this to record yourself reciting a speech, singing a song, or reciting a poem, but you can also use it to record your thoughts.
你可以用它录下自己背诵演讲、背诵诗歌或唱歌的音频，你也可以用它来记录自己的想法。
#8
Record yourself speaking on video
录制自己说口语的视频
If you’re just starting out with this method, I recommend recording a video of yourself speak once a week. And give yourself some guidelines for what you will talk about. Are you going to teach something or discuss something? Review your favorite horror movie? Just 
share your thoughts of the day?
如果你刚刚开始使用这种方法，我建议你每周录制一段自己说口语的视频。列出你要谈论话题的大纲。你打算教什么还是讨论什么？是要回顾你最喜欢的恐怖电影？还是分享一下你今天的想法？
#9
Check-in with your progress
once a month
每月检查一次进度
Practicing a skill like speaking on your own can be tough. But you’ll make more progress if you check-in with your goals every month.
自学口语这样的技能可能很难。但是，如果你每个月都检查自己的进度，你会取得更大的进步。
Ask yourself: Are you making fewer mistakes? How many new English phrases or expressions have you learned? Have you memorized a speech, a song, or a poem? Do you feel more comfortable when you’re speaking?
问自己几个问题：你犯的错误减少了吗？你学了多少新的英语短语或表达？你记住一篇演讲、一首歌或一首诗了吗？你口语表达的时候感觉自在吗？
#10
Know when to ask for help
知道何时寻求帮助
If you’re feeling stuck or that you’re not making enough progress, I highly recommend reaching out to an English teacher to help you figure out your own self-study path.
如果你觉得自己陷入瓶颈，或者没有取得十足的进步，我强烈建议你去找一位英语老师，帮你找到自己的自学道路。
