Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can be easy if you don’t want or need to learn too much.
The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like running. Even if you run twice a week, you don’t necessarily want to be able to run a marathon (马拉松). You might just want to keep a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning.
Let’s get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the country, you know that you will be sure to do this. However, if you decide to talk to people with great fluency (流利), unless you are quite a talented person, you will probably fail and give up in half-way.
It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will not be able to move further because of grammar, making sentences, learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and sentences, you will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won’t have to spend too much time.
The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn’t the usual way to language learning, but it can be a very meaningful and enjoyable activity.

Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says " Learn a foreign
language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your
pronunciation will be excellent. Just send..." and so on?
Of course, it never happens quite like that. Anyone who learns a
foreign language would think that it is not true.
The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. What is
the mother tongue? It is the first and main language that you learnt when
you were a child. And think how much practice that a child gets!
Before the Second World War, people usually learned a foreign
language in order to read the literary (文学的) works of the country.
Nowadays, speaking the foreign language is what most people want.
Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they
do it?
Some people try at home , with books and tapes; some use radio
or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the
language only two or three times a week, learning it will take a long
time, like language leaning at school. A few people try to lean a
language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly
easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However,
most people cannot afford this, and many language learners need the
language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and
doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign
language. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the
student's work for him. Whether the language is learned quickly or
slowly, it is hard work with a lot of training in reading, listening,
speaking, and writing.
1. In the advertisement it is possible for a person to learn a foreign, language In fact, everyone
who learns English would think it is not true.
A. using the language six or more hours a day
B. learning the language at school
C. studying the language in the foreign country
D. reading the foreign stories as many as possible
