Are you learning a foreign language? Do you know what a successful language learner should do?

First of all, successful language learners are independent (獨(dú)立的) learners. They do not depend on books or teachers. They find out their own ways to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find methods and rules for themselves. They also look for clues (線索) and get their own ideas by guessing (猜測). When they guess wrong, they try again. They try to learn from their mistakes. It is more important for them to learn to think than to know the meaning of every word.

Successful language learning is active learning, so successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language. They usually look for such a chance. They find native speakers and ask them for help when they make mistakes. They will try everything to communicate. They are not afraid to what they hear or to say strange things. Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose (目的). They want to learn the language because they are interested in native speakers' lives. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with foreigners and learn about their lives, their cultures and so on.

The class will probably have a book for you to follow，but it's a good idea to buy a good dictionary as well. Keep a list of all the new words and expressions you meet and look them up. You can r【3】 the new words you've learned by m【4】 word cards with the word on one side and its meaning on the other.R【5】 them as many times as you want：the more，the b【6】.If you can't find any native speakers to talk with，you can listen to tapes.
