Learning a Freign Language
There are many aspects（方面）t language learning, such as hw wrds are said, which wrds are chsen and what frms f wrds are used. All f these aspects tgether can make learning a freign language difficult.
31
Dn’t wrry t much abut prnuncing wrds the wrng way.
Prnunciatin is imprtant, f curse. 32 But the mst imprtant step in learning a new language is t practice speaking it. As fr learning any new skill, practice makes perfect. And mst f the time, the native（本地的） speaker is glad t help imprve the prnunciatin f the wrds.
Dn’t be afraid t guess the meaning f what smene says.
33 It is impssible t knw all f them. Yu may use cntex（t 上下文）and bdy language t guess what
thers say. Fr example, when a persn says “Hla” and waves his hand, ne might guess that the persn is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hell” r “Gd mrning”, it is nt necessarily imprtant at that mment t knw the exact meaning.
34
Learning a new language r skill always takes time. Many will give up learning because it is t hard r bring. Sme may think that ther peple will make fun f them fr making mistakes. But it’s OK t make mistakes. Nbdy is perfect, after all. Dn't lse hpe and keep trying.
In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great advantages.
35 Dn’t frget that learning a language can als include making new friends, experiencing new cultures and tasting new fds!
Dn’t give up.
Dn’t waste time.
There are tens f thusands f wrds in English.
It helps listeners t understand what smene says mre clearly.
But sme advice might make learning a new language easier—and mre fun.
Learning a language desn’t just mean the ability t speak in that different language.
