English learning.jpg
跟大部分同龄人一样, 作为祖国的“老花朵”, 我也是学着“I am fine, thank you, and you?”长大的一代。刚入职的时候，面对两位完全不懂中文的老板, 面对一群完全不懂中文的teammates, 我不习惯，甚至隐隐有些恐惧与同事的沟通交流。怕露怯，怕听不懂，怕Chinglish，但是内心却极其不满意自己的这种状态。
出来混总是要还的，现在流下的泪完全是大学时期脑子里进的水。于是几乎每一封英文邮件我都会仔细研读，从遣词造句，到背后隐藏的西方思维。于是美剧不再是休闲消遣的选择，我会把一部老友记翻来覆去看上几十遍，目标是达到可以背诵台词的程度。于是我强迫自己不再惧怕用英文沟通，听不懂又怎样，不是还有个万能的 “Sorry?” 嘛。无自虐，不人生。
浸润式学习很重要，不要再把过多的时间浪费在背诵单词上，don't get me wrong, 并不是说单词不重要，而是要尽可能地沉浸在英语语言环境里，美剧、脱口秀、英文歌曲，不管听不听得懂，泡在里面就对了。拜托都已经是2017年了，不要再给自己找借口，毕竟周围有太多从未出国，但是口语依旧地道的大牛们。
虽然努力来得晚了一些，但是只要开始，一切都会慢慢好起来。
“Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear, the brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. From now on you will be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey.”
那些没有消灭你的事情，都会让你更强大。
拿出小本本，跟大家一起分享地道的职场英语用法，都是从外国同事的邮件里摘取，原汁原味儿，今天的分享多是日常工作的沟通交流中很有可能会用到的，如遇到类似情景，可以直接Pick up。
