學習外語的最佳方法

Do you know how many languages there are in the world?There are about one thousand and five hundred,but many of them are not very important.English is one of the most important languages because so many people use it, not only in England and America,but in other countries of the world.

你知道世界上有多少種語言嗎?大概有1500多種，但是它們中的很多都不是很重要。英語是最重要的語言之一，因為很多人使用它，不僅是在英美，還在世界其它國家。

Many English children study French.French is also a very important language.Some children study German, Russian,Japanese and Chinese.

很多說英語的兒童學法語。法語也是非常重要的一門語言。一些孩子學德語、俄語、日語和漢語。

Which is the best way to learn a language? We know that we all learnt our own language well when we were children.We can learn a second language in the same way, it won't seem so difficult. How does a child do? He or she listens to what people say and tries to guess what he or she hears.When he or she wants something, he or she has to ask for it.He or she is using the language, thinking in it and talking in it all the time.If people use a second language all the time, they will learn it quickly.

學習一門語言的最佳方法是哪種?我們知道，我們小時候都把母語學得很好。我們可以用同樣的方法學第二語言，這似乎不會很難。孩子是怎么學的呢?他/她聽人們說的，然后試著猜他/她聽到的內(nèi)容。當他/她想要一些東西時，他/她不得不請求得到它。他/她一直都在使用那門語言，用那門語言思考，用那門語言交談。如果人們一直都使用第二語言，他們會學得很快。
