一直以来,很多外语学习者都希望自己能够在最短的时间内学会更多的外语知识。 毫无疑问,要想实现这一目标,我们不仅要有毅力,而且应掌握行之有效的学习方法。

The idea of learning a language, especially when you're learning it from the beginning, seems anything but fast. You'll have to learn a new grammar, memorize vocabularies, practice speaking and so on.__1__. However, you can still learn a new language fast if you follow the right strategy.

When faced with the idea of learning a new language, most of us feel at a loss.__2__. Under such circumstances, setting goals can narrow your focus, so you can stop worrying about the details and get down to business. Research shows that people who set the right kind of goals are more likely to achieve success.

We tend to learn best when we're enjoying ourselves, so don't forget to make language learning fun. Playing games is a great way to have fun while learning. Games take advantage of our natural competitiveness and can help us practice language skills even when we feel tired.__3__.

Some of the best learning happens in real-life situations, particularly when you have to use a foreign language.__4__. This can create opportunities to be surrounded by people who speak the language you want to learn. Even without traveling abroad, you can put yourself in real-life situations that give you loads of language practice.

___5__. It's important to learn about the culture and history associated with these words. Researchers have found that children learn to read in a second language better when they understand the culture behind the pieces they read. This may help you enormously and can even prevent you from making embarrassing offensive mistakes.

Follow these steps, and you'll be on your way to mastering that new language faster than you ever imagined!
