出海去孵化器出海去 EP33 | 想接海外客户，跟着大琪和 Siqi 提高英语口语重大活动提示！每年的 1024 都是开发者的节日，结合出海去孵化器「一人公司，全球增长」的愿景，我们筹划在 10 月 24 号程序员节发起一个 「Solo Founder Day 一人公司展示日」线上活动，类似于 Demo Day，我们邀请了 10 位独立开发者代表，除了产品的演示宣介，更侧重创始人本身的经历经验分享。北京时间 10 月 24 日周五晚上 21 点，在视频号直播此次活动。同时，我们将在那天发布「一人公司榜」的榜单，并开启「一人出海实战课」的预售。更多的细节，我们会在接下来几天持续放出，欢迎加入出海去听友群，在出海去孵化器视频号预约直播，也欢迎关注出海去孵化器的推特、公众号、小宇宙、即刻、哔哩哔哩和 YouTube。另外，Siqi 专门开设了为互联网从业者定制的英语口语陪跑课程，请老师帮助提高口语水平，避免自己又走偏了路，尤其是想接海外单子和海外求职方面的实战口语。为此，出海去借这个机会，给项目成员和会员谋个福利，组团请 Siqi 提高大家的英语口语水平，只需要 19.9 元就可以获得 30 分钟的口语能力评估体验课和个性化学习计划一份。欢迎大家扫码加入出海去听友群，了解 Siqi 课程详情和参与体验课程。----这期播客探讨了高效学习英语的方法，特别强调了口语技能的重要性，指出设定明确目标和持续练习对个人及职业发展的必要性。嘉宾大齐和思思分享了他们的个人经验和实用策略，比如每天围绕相关话题练习和利用沉浸式环境来提高语言能力。他们认为，尽管像雅思和托福这样的标准化考试有其价值，但更应关注与工作直接相关的语言技能。讨论还涉及到词汇积累技巧、口音识别，以及如何调整沟通风格，以更有效地与母语者交流的重要性。Takeaways 学习英语要目标明确，根据自身需求（例如考试、工作场景）制定学习计划，并针对性地练习相关技能。 提高英语口语的关键在于开口练习，而非单纯的输入（例如背单词、阅读）。 多说多练，即使是与工作无关的内容，也能有效提升口语水平。 雅思托福等考试是提升英语的一种途径，但并非唯一途径，更重要的是针对工作场景进行练习，例如练习用英语介绍产品、与客户沟通等。 在英语口语练习中，准确传达信息比口音更重要。 不必过于在意口音，专注于清晰表达，提高沟通效率。 词汇学习应注重实际运用，通过阅读和口语练习来巩固词汇，而非死记硬背。 将中文思维转化为英文表达，可以先用简单易懂的方式表达，再逐步提升表达的复杂度。 在国内学习英语，可以利用线上资源（例如英语角、在线课程）或线下活动，并找到学习伙伴，互相督促，保持学习动力。 建立一个良好的英语学习环境至关重要。 学习英语是一个循序渐进的过程，会有瓶颈期和突破期，保持耐心和坚持，最终能够达到目标。 设定小目标，循序渐进地提升，避免给自己过大的压力。Q&AQ: 如何有效提升英语口语水平，特别是针对出海工作的开发者和创客？A: 播客建议以结果为导向，设定明确目标（例如，流畅地与海外客户沟通），并持续练习口语表达，例如每天练习使用 ChatGPT 提出的问题进行口语练习，坚持练习直到达到目标水平。Q: 两位嘉宾是如何在非英语母语环境下将英语口语提升到接近母语水平的？A: 大琪通过在新加坡的工作生活，在实际应用中快速提升英语口语；Siqi 则受益于从小在英语老师母亲的指导下纠正发音和拼写，并通过在国际化工作环境中积累经验。Q: 如何才能更有效地提高英语口语水平，特别是针对与海外客户沟通的需求？A: 提高英语口语的途径很多，但关键在于针对性训练。应根据自身需求（例如与海外客户沟通），选择相应的学习材料和练习方法，例如专注于特定行业词汇和表达方式，而非仅仅依赖于标准化考试（如托福、雅思）。沉浸式语言环境也是一种有效方法。Q: 如何有效提升独立开发者英语口语能力，以应对海外客户沟通？A: 独立开发者学习英语口语的重点在于将已有的中文业务逻辑和思维模式转化为英文表达。 不必追求完美口音，而是专注于清晰准确地传达信息，并通过反复练习，逐步提升英文表达能力。 可以尝试将复杂概念简化，如同向五岁儿童解释一样，再将其翻译成英文，循序渐进地提高表达能力。Q: 如何区分英语学习中的 “口音” 和 “发音”？A: 口音指所有音都以一种共同的方式发音，例如中国留学生常将 building 的发音中的/ɪ/音用/u/代替；而发音不标准则指同一音标在不同单词中发音不同，例如将 your eyes 误发成 ice。Q: 如何有效提升英语口语能力，特别是针对缺乏英语环境的学习者？A: 根据播客内容，建议结合实际工作或学习场景进行针对性学习，例如与外籍同事沟通、观看感兴趣的英文播客等。 避免单纯死记硬背单词，而应注重在语境中理解和运用词汇，并积极练习口语表达。Q: 如何有效提升英语口语水平，特别是对于已经具备一定英语基础的人群？A: 建议通过大量实践提升语感，例如快速朗读感兴趣的文章，并逐渐缩短朗读时间来提高语速和流利度；此外，针对自身专业领域学习专业词汇，而非死记硬背所有语法规则，因为在实际交流中，母语使用者往往能自动纠正语法错误。Q: 如何高效学习英语并将其应用于海外业务拓展？A: 播客建议将英语学习与实际工作相结合，例如用英语进行项目汇报或海外例会。 不必追求短期内掌握大量词汇，而是将英语作为工具，在实际应用中逐步提升。 建议从少量时间开始，例如每天 5 分钟，循序渐进，避免压力过大，才能长期坚持。 目标是利用英语完成工作，而非单纯学习英语本身。Outline (00:00:05)英语学习方法探讨：目标导向与持续练习大琪和 Siqi 两位嘉宾分享了英语学习，尤其口语提升的心得。大琪建议学习要有的放矢，比如为了工作，可以针对性地练习商务邮件或科技文章；Siqi 则推荐每天练习口语，例如用 ChatGPT 生成 100 个问题，每天练习一个，持之以恒就能看到进步。 (00:03:08)嘉宾自我介绍及英语学习背景分享大琪分享了她在新加坡快速提升英语水平的经历及相关写作，Siqi 则介绍了自身在美国和新加坡的学习工作经历，并重点提到她为互联网人士提供的英语口语陪练课程。 (00:07:07)雅思托福考试与英语口语提升的关系雅思托福能提高英语口语吗？嘉宾们认为考试虽然有用，但更重要的是针对性练习。尤其对互联网从业者而言，考试内容与工作关联不大，不如多练习工作相关的英语。Siqi 补充说，提升口语的方法很多，比如沉浸式语言环境，并不局限于考试。 (00:13:18)针对性英语口语练习方法本章节分享了提升英语口语的实用技巧，尤其针对开发者和互联网从业者。嘉宾们建议，学习重点应放在工作场景中常用的表达，比如产品介绍和客户沟通。Siqi 特别指出，清晰表达比口音更重要。 (00:19:55)口音、发音与词汇运用技巧本章节深入探讨了口音与发音的区别及词汇运用技巧。Siqi 分享的亲身经历生动地说明了发音不标准可能造成的误解：口音是语言习惯，但发音不准会影响沟通。嘉宾们建议，精准用词，避免表达含糊不清。 (00:28:39)单词学习方法：阅读优先还是死记硬背？学习单词，与其死记硬背，不如在阅读和运用中自然习得。大琪和 Siqi 都认为，日常阅读和交流是积累词汇的最佳途径，Siqi 还建议多尝试用不同词汇表2024-10-141h 25

Or, in Siqi’s words, “revolutionizing the $80 trillion business industry”.
A few months ago, Runway’s new website went viral across the internet. Siqi takes us inside how that happened. He’s no stranger to going viral, having previously built multiple companies that went from zero to millions of users within weeks, including the fastest growing product ever before ChatGPT took the crown in late 2022.

Inside ChinaAmerica’s threat to drop trade rule may hurt China, Temu and itselfA century-old American trade provision known as the “de minimis” rule has drawn the attention of some US lawmakers. They argue that the rule gives Chinese e-commerce platforms, such as Temu, an unfair advantage over American retailers. Post reporter Siqi Ji explores the arguments for scrapping the rule and explains why changing it will be hard despite bipartisan support.

硅谷101E138｜如何用大模型提升学习效率？来自1100小时的深度使用体验转眼已经2024年了，这轮生成式人工智能大浪潮已经开始了16个月了。我们从各个角度聊过大模型给各行各业带来的变化，但是缺了一个视角：普通人是如何使用大模型的，尤其是学生。大概是一年以前的这个时候，在线课程供应商Study.com向1000名18岁以上的学生发起了一项调查，超过89%的学生使用ChatGPT来完成家庭作业，48%的学生用ChatGPT完成小测验，53%的学生用ChatGPT写论文，22%的学生用ChatGPT生成论文大纲。
我就在好奇，大模型是如何帮助这些学生来学习的。但要找到真正把大模型用的好的学生嘉宾并不容易。直到同事给我推荐了本期嘉宾Siqi，他是从ChatGPT发布就开始使用，知道OpenAI和这些大模型公司的每一次宕机，准确来说他不算学生，但是抱着学生的心态在想学习，马上也要在大公司内部转到大模型的组，我们就来看看他是如何成为ChatGPT的高阶玩家的。
这期节目我们录制于2023年11月，恰逢OpenAI开发者大会之后。跟他聊完的这两个月里，我种草了很多功能也解锁了很多新用法，有机会我再来跟大家聊一聊我们如何在播客和视频产品中用生成式人工智能技术来辅助我们做内容，欢迎持续关注我们。

商业WHY酱S2E16｜2022海外漂流俩月：硅谷还富吗？新加坡赢麻了？疫情几年大部分人没出国，你还记得外面的世界是什么样子吗？
本期「商业WHY酱」邀请了两位投资圈的朋友痕痕和siqi，在今年夏天，她们先后访问了硅谷和新加坡，以实地勘察的方式，去看了看那些仍然热闹的地方正在发生什么，那些或好或坏的只言片语是不是真的，投资人的钱正在往哪里流，海外大厂的打工人是怎么生活的，而华人又在当地社会扮演着什么角色。
通过痕痕和Siqi的眼睛我们发现，硅谷依然是全球创业投资的圣地，大厂打工人的生活也没那么难，而新加坡则因为投资圈的Super Return、区块链圈的Token 2049甚至F1赛事等几场大会，变得人头攒动，收割了一波疫情后放开的红利。

City of the FutureFlexible StreetsThe pandemic has forced us to reexamine and reimagine how we use one of our most precious public spaces: our streets. From outdoor dining to expanded bike lanes, cities have been re-designing streets so they can be better shared by all — drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians alike. But could we take this idea even further? What if we could use design and technology to make our streets more flexible? So they could change use according to the season, the week, or even the hour? In our season finale, we explore a future where city streets can do just that — and bette...2020-12-0425 min

Li Keli cut down on travel and takes her son to a public playground instead. Wang Jiazhi stopped dating. Welcome to China’s “consumption downgrade” culture, a potentially worrisome development for Beijing and the world. For years, the conversation in China was about “consumption upgrades.” As the economy took off, China’s middle class — now more than 400 million strong and still growing — decided to spend those bigger paychecks. It traded up from local brands to Nikes, from cheap phones to iPhones, from tea to $5 Starbucks lattes. Today, China’s economy is slowing, and shopping has slowed with it.

There are about 800,000 of them, and according to China’s Ministry of Education, nearly 80 percent choose to return to China soon after finishing their education. This group is referred to as “sea turtles” (海龟; a pun on 海归 hǎiguī, meaning “to return from overseas”) for their ambitious swim to and from faraway shores. Historically, overseas Chinese students were almost exclusively from the wealthiest and best-educated families in Chinese society, but nowadays, the group is dramatically more diverse. The new students abroad, however, face many of the same identity issues that the previous generations faced. Ch...2018-03-221h 03
