Question

What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words. That’s wrong. Language is for exchange of ideas, for communication.

The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as often as possible. A great man once said it is necessary to practice as much as possible. And the more you use it in real situations, the more natural it will become.

Learning any language takes a lot of effort. But don’t give up. Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be fun. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Work harder and practice more. Your hard work will be rewarded by God one day. God is equal to everyone!

Use a dictionary and a grammar guide constantly(不断地). Keep a small English dictionary with you at all time. When you see a new word, look it up. It can help you. Think about the word—use it, in your hand, in a sentence.

Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see something, think of the English word, then think about the word in a sentence.

Practise tenses as many as possible. When you learn a new verb, learn its various forms.

Learn more about the culture behind the language. When you understand the cultural background, you can better use the language.
