快速学英语的方法：
一、 听。学习音标要先练习听，最初接触音标的时候听个一两遍几乎没有什么印象， 因此要多听几遍，多磨耳朵，这样才会在头脑中留下印象。
二、 读。在听的时候不仅要用心用脑进行记忆，而且嘴巴也不要闲着，要跟着读， 开始读的可能不标准，甚至会觉得比较别扭，但是读的多了，习惯了，就会感觉好一些，甚至看到自己听过的音标还能够脱口而出，那样就基本差不多了。
三、 写。音标和字母，拼音都不同，要想牢固的掌握音标，可以连续不同音标的写 法，掌握它们的写法，有利于更好的掌握它们。
四、 拼读。学习单个音标之后可以试着进行拼读，找些陌生的单词来，试着看音标 进行单词拼读。这时候最好有录音或者老师进行发音纠正，如果发音不准确，及时纠正，以免形成习惯，时间长了就难改正了。
五、 应用。语言的魅力在于运用，只有能灵活运用的语言才是活的语言，否则这种 语言学习没有任何的价值，音标也是一样，学习音标是为了学习单词服务的，因此一定要在音标的基础上拼写，读写单词，学习新的词汇，否则音标的学习也是没有意义的。
