The best way of learning a language is by using it. For example, if you want to learn English well, you’d better try your best to listen to it, speak it, read it and write it as often as possible(可能).

Sometimes you may not know how to use a word and people can not understand（理解）you. Sometimes people may say things too quickly for you to understand. Don’t be worried or unhappy or even angry if people seem to laugh at your mistakes（错误）. Don’t take it too seriously and just have a good laugh at the mistakes you made. It’s much better to have people laugh at your mistakes than to be angry because they don’t understand what you’re saying. Don’t you think so? So always remember. “Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when they are learning a language.”
