Most people go to classes regularly, and study at home with a book.But the problem for adult learners is that they are busy people who find it hard to come to classes at a fixed time.They miss a few classes and then decide that they have fallen too far behind the other students.Eventually they drop out of the class altogether.

你是如何學(xué)英語的?后者是法語、俄語、德語、中文或其它語言?很多人定期去上課，在即那本說學(xué)。但是成年學(xué)者的問題在于他們是大忙人，覺得很難找個(gè)固定的時(shí)間去上課。他們錯(cuò)過了一些課程，然后認(rèn)為他們落后其他學(xué)生很多。最后，他們?nèi)驾z學(xué)了。

There are various resources available which the students can use alone or in a small group.There's a language laboratory; there are microcomputers with games and other programs designed for language learning.There are video-cassettes which teach students about the life and language of a country.

單獨(dú)的學(xué)生或一個(gè)小組的學(xué)生有各種各樣的資料可以使用。有語言實(shí)驗(yàn)室，有帶游戲和其它為語言學(xué)習(xí)的程序的微型計(jì)算機(jī)。有盒式錄像帶可以教學(xué)生一個(gè)國家的生活和語言。

學(xué)習(xí)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?yàn)楹芏嗳耸褂盟粌H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(xué)法語。法語也是非常重要的一門語言。一些孩子學(xué)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(xué)習(xí)一門語言的最佳方法是哪種?我們知道，我們小時(shí)候都把母語學(xué)得很好。我們可以用同樣的方法學(xué)第二語言，這似乎不會(huì)很難。孩子是怎么學(xué)的呢?他/她聽人們說的，然后試著猜他/她聽到的內(nèi)容。當(dāng)他/她想要一些東西時(shí)，他/她不得不請(qǐng)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(huì)學(xué)得很快。
