Hey guys! With the Chinese New Year coming up I’m sure a lot of you are getting ready to start making New Year’s Resolutions and therefore gonna want to start learning English (again! Hahaha). Of course, talking to real people is always the best way to practice English, but for many reasons that’s not always possible. Online websites and mobile apps, are, in general, much more available and easy to use.
Hey, guys! Chris here! 再过两个星期就到狗年了！这就是拟定新年期望的第次机缘！就像我老跟我们说的，跟人谈天是最佳的练口语的办法，只不过每天有林林总总的缘由会让这样的操练不太实际。一般来说，一些网站和手机app用起来更便利，也更简略。
But which ones are best? In today’s online world, there are so many English learning apps and websites that claim to have the best speaking/TOEFL/Reading app or whatever. It’s impossible to know which ones are good and worth your time/money and which ones are scams!
可是哪些app是最佳的呢？我感触几乎每天都会有各种新的英语学习 app呈如今使用商铺中，还有各种新呈现的网站声称要处置悉数口语、托福、阅览等等疑问。很难晓得哪些好、哪些根柢就是在浪费时刻。
I’ve been teaching English for a LONNNGGG time. The following websites/apps are the ones that I ALWAYS recommend to my students when they first start learning. I’ve used all of them myself (and still do!) and can vouch for their effectiveness. And most importantly, they’re all free!
不过不要慌！我教英文这么久了，也一向在重视有哪些本钱可以加速或便当我们的学习。下面说到的大有些我都自个试过，而且有些是我每天学外语必不可以少的本钱！要害是，大大都都是免费的！
那究竟怎么让你的英语学习非常好地进入2021年呢？一同来看看这九大本钱！
Anki生词卡片APP
(苹果商铺150元、安卓免费)
When someone asks me how best to improve their English, my number 1 answer is always ‘Anki’ which is why it’s at the top of the list! Sorry iPhone users, this app is really expensive, but Android users rejoice! It’s completely free! This app is the premiere SRS/Flashcard app on the market. Nothing else really comes close. Anki has an entire database of user-created flashcard decks that are chock full of great example sentences and vocabulary for you to practice your speaking.
当有人问我如何扩展词汇量时，我有必要举荐Anki这个词卡app。用iPhone的同学比照惨、要交150块钱——但我觉得真的非常值得！我初度想买的时分有点犹疑，但最终抉择下下来试试，至今一向都没后悔过！用安卓的同学就太夸姣了，完全免费！这个app用一个间隔重复体系给你闪现该学习或温习的词卡，这样能保证你根柢不会浪费时刻温习不必温习的东西。我觉得当前还没有任何app可以跟Anki比。尽管界面很简略，可是从算法来看，我觉得是最高效的词卡软件。另外，Anki的网站有许多免费的用户做的生词包，包括了各种例句和该学习的词汇！
2. 伴鱼
(苹果、安卓都可免费下载)
(Warning! Shameless self-plug!) This app is something I use a lot to give free English streams on. There are a few paid features (optional), like getting a private teacher/paid lecture and such, but there are a lot of free things such as articles and videos created by English teachers that are great for practicing your English. For those wanting some cheap authentic speaking practice, this is a great app.
我常常用这个app来做与英语学习有关的直播！用户也可以付费在这上面找一些私家教师（一个小时70-120元），还能免费学习教师们共享的自创教育内容。想操练更多英语口语的同学我激烈举荐这个app！下载了今后可以重视一下我的账户（Chris的英语之道），及时收到直播信息！
3. 复读机
(iPhone举荐用Speater Lite；安卓随意下复读机app即可)
There are lots of apps that ‘loop’ video or audio, but I think Speater is the most user friendly one. There are versions. Speater and Speater Lite. You only need the functions from 
Speater Lite which is free! First, find a clip from a video or piece of audio that you like/want to emulate and upload it to the app. Then you can use the app’s features to repeat, rewind, slow down, or speed up the clip and listen to it as many times as you want! This is an AMAZING way to get the feel for how English sounds and to practice speaking with a native accent.
我常常偏重跟读、仿照的重要性，而且做这种练习的时分，有许多复读机app可以让这悉数更便利。其实任何“复读机”app都可以用，但我觉得Speater是其间最佳的app 之一（只需iPhone版）。Speater有付费版和Speater Lite免费版，自个感触免费版就可以！
复读机该怎么用呢？首要你可以选择任何视频或音频上载到app上；然后你可以选择文件里的任何片段进行重复、怠慢、加速等等，不断地听和操练。分析你自个说的跟音频有啥差异，可以让你灵敏前进口语和听力！
An enormous database of example sentences created by native speakers of your target language. Put in a word that you want an example sentence for, search, and then the site spits out a bunch of example sentences with
translations! Perfect for when you need to know how a word is used or need to make flashcards or something. A lot of the sentences even come up with native pronunciation examples!
这个网站就是个大数据库，怅惘还没有app，可是能在这个网站上看到许多母语者造的语句。输入你想学习的单词，就会弹出许多极好的例句。很合适在想晓得一个词怎么用、需要做卡片例句的时分用。而且许多语句都配有母语者的语音演示！
6. Forvo
(苹果、安卓都有app)
Like the above site, but Forvo is focused on individual words instead of complete sentences. Great to check the pronunciation of certain words when you’re a little unsure of what they sound like. Most of the words have pronunciations from both male and female users in several different accents so don’t worry about only getting American pronunciation if you want to study British English, or vice versa. They have more than just English too!
跟tatoeba有点像， Forvo可以查任何一个词，然后就能听到不一样母语者读该词的语音演示。大有些的单词至稀有美国和英国男女的朗读演示，这样不管你学美式英语仍是英式英语，都可以听到不一样母语者的演示、了解不一样的口音。
6. HelloTalk
(iPhone、安卓都有app；)
This is a chat app that you can use to do kind of a language exchange with foreigners. Users input their native language and then select the languages they are trying to learn. After that, you can search for other users with interests that are opposite yours. For example, if you’re Chinese and wanting to learn English, you’d search for someone who speaks English and wants to learn Chinese. You can then start a conversation with this person and have a chat with them in your target language. It even has a translate function! The app works similar to WeChat in that there are options for both text and audio so you can practice both writing and speaking! The benefit of this app over WeChat is that it gives you access to a whole pool of potential language learning partners. Once you find one you trust you can then add their WeChat or Skype to
continue the conversation in a more convenient app.
HelloTalk这个app是个谈天软件，你可以经过它跟外国人做语伴。用户需要输入自个的母语，然后选择方针言语，之后就可以查找与你匹配的其他用户。比方，你是想学英语的我国人，你就要查找想学汉语的英语母语者。找到后你就可以跟ta经过你的方针言语建议对话。这个平台甚至还有翻译功用！跟微信有点类似，你可以在这上面发文字或语音，所以既能训练写作，又能操练口语！跟微信比，这个app的优势在于给了你许多潜在言语学习火伴的选择。一旦你找到可以信赖的语伴，就可以在更便利的微信或Skype上添加ta们，持续你们的对话。
7. 英语趣配音
(iPhone、安卓都有app)
This app is another one that’s great for pronunciation. The app takes clips from foreign movies and TV shows and challenges the users to ‘dub’ over the original audio. At the end, the app gives you a score based on how good your pronunciation was. You can even share your score on your moments and challenge your friends to dub over the same clip!
Dubbing也是前进发音的app，在这上面有从外国影片和电视节目中截取的片段，供用户给。结束后app会根据你的发音情况给你打分。你还可以把分数共享到兄弟圈，让你的兄弟应战相同的片段！
8. HiNative
(iPhone、安卓都有app；)
Previously known as lang-8, HiNative, is a platform where you can ask questions about any language you want and get answers from real native speakers from around the world. You can ask questions like, “How do you say this in Spanish?” “What’s the difference between these two words?” “Is my pronunciation correct?” You can also teach other users about your own native language. It’s a great community to be a part of and a must for students that don’t have a teacher or foreign friend to give corrections.
HiNative早年叫lang-8，是一个你可以问有关任何言语的疑问的平台，一起你也能历来自全球各地的母语者处获得答案。你可以问这样的疑问“在西班牙语中这个怎么说？”“这两个词之间有啥差异？”“我的发音对吗？”你可以在这个平台上教自个的母语。社区极好值得参加，特别合适没有外教或外国兄弟纠错的学习者。
9. Chris的英语之道
