Question

What makes a successful language learner? A language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar(相似的) in many ways.

First of all, successful language learners do not depend on the book or the teacher.  They find their own way to learn the language. They never wait for the teacher to explain, and they try to find the ways for themselves.

Next, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language. They look for such a chance they find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try their best to talk with others. They are willing to make mistakes and try again.

Third, successful learners spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee((保证) of success. The language will become clearer in your brain(大脑) slowly over a long time.

Finally, successful language learners want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is a need for them to learn the language in order to talk with these people and to learn from them.
