Using an app（应用程序） t learn a language is handy because yu can fllw lessns and check yur prgress anywhere. Belw is a list f my favrite ways t learn languages frm my phne.
Ggle Translate
Mst f apps teach yu a language thrugh exercises and prgressive steps, while Ggle’s simply tells yu hw t write and speak anything yu run thrugh it. Still, I think it’s a great chice fr beginners.

Rsetta Stne

If yu want, yu can buy extra phrasebks cvering tpics like shpping, clrs, emergencies, and s n.
Busuu
Busuu’s app is user-friendly. Yu get t pick where yu’d like t begin in the curse. The wrds and phrases yu’ll learn are especially helpful fr beginners wh might find themselves arund peple speaking a freign language and need t learn wrds in real situatins quickly.

②考查非谓语动词。句意：1983年，被誉为“牡丹之城”的洛阳正式举办了第一届牡丹节。句中谓语是held，空格处用非谓语动词，Luyang和knw之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填knwn。
③考查副词。句意：1983年，被誉为“牡丹之城”的洛阳正式举办了第一届牡丹节。空格处用副词fficially，修饰动词held，fficially意为“正式地”，故填fficially。
④考查定语从句。句意：节日期间，平乐村村民Gu Tai’an画了一幅牡丹画。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词是Gu Tai’an，指人，因此空格处用关系代词wh，故填wh。
⑤考查固定短语。句意：令他惊讶的是，这幅画赢得了广泛的赞誉，甚至有人要求购买。t ne’s surprise是固定短语，意为“令某人吃惊的是”，因此空格处是t，位于句首，首字母大写，故填T。

⑦考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意：2011年，中国平乐牡丹画文化创意产业园在该村建成。中国平乐牡丹画文化创意产业园是被建，由In 2011可知，句子描述过去的事情，因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，主语China Pingle Peny Drawing Culture Creative Industry Park是单数，因此空格处是was built。故填was built。
⑧考查名词复数。句意：每年接待国内外旅行团和游客30多万人次。visitr是可数名词，不止一个，因此空格处用复数，故填visitrs。
⑨考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，当地村民在中国电子商务平台淘宝上经营着150多家出售绘画的网店。句中谓语是run，空格处用非谓语动词，villagers和sell之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填selling。
⑩考查冠词。句意：他们还成立了一个团队，通过直播推广牡丹画。team是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，team是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
