What is language for? Some people seem to think its for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words the longer the words the better. Thats wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication.
The way to learn a language is to practise speaking it as often as possible. A great man once said it is necessary to drill as much as possible, and the more you apply it in real situations, the more natural it will become. Learning any language takes a lot of effort. But dont give up.①Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be fun. Rome wasnt built in a day. Work harder and practise more. Your hardworking will be rewarded by God one day. God is equal to everyone!
Use a dictionary and grammar guide constantly. Keep a small English dictionary with you at all time. When you see a new word, look it up. Think about the word use it, in your mind, in a sentence. Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see something, think of the English word of it; then think about the word in a sentence. practise tenses as much as possible. When you learn a new verb, learn its various forms. I would also like to learn more about the culture behind the language. When you understand the cultural background, you can better use the language. 行文点评
