The way of learning a language is by using it．The best way of Learning English is talking in English as much as possible．Sometimes you’ll get your words mixed up(混淆)and people will not understand you; Sometimes people will say things too quick and you can’t understand them．But if you keep your sense of humor(幽默感), you can always have a good laugh over the mistakes．Don’t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes．It’s much better for people to be laughing at your mistakes than to be angry because they don’t understand what you say．The most important rule of learning English is：“Don’t be afraid of making mistakes．Everyone makes mistakes．”
