Dear Li Hua,
How are you? I'm having a hard time now. Because of the COID-19, we have to study at home instead of going to school. I can't go out and I can't see my classmates. I feel so bored and depressed. And I'm also having trouble getting on with my parents.
Do you have the same problems? How do you solve them?
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Peter

Matthew Youlden speaks nine languages fluently and understands more than a dozen more. When I told Matthew how I've been struggling to learn a second language, he had the following advice for me.
Talk to yourself. When you have no one else to speak to, there's nothing wrong with talking to yourself. It might sound really strange, but talking to yourself in a language is a great way to practice if you're not able to use it all the time. This can keep new words and phrases fresh in your mind and build up your confidence for the next time you speak with someone.
Have fun with it. Using your new language in any way is a creative (创造性的) act. Think of some fun ways to practise your new language: make a radio play with a friend, draw a comic strip, write a poem, or simply talk to whomever you can.
Listen. You must learn to listen before you can speak. Every language sounds strange the first time you hear it, but the more you expose (暴露) yourself to it, the more familiar it becomes, and the easier it is to speak it properly. We're able to pronounce anything, it's just we're not used to doing it. The best way is to hear every sound constantly and to imagine how every sound is supposed to be pronounced.
Watch people talk. Different languages make different demands on your tongue, lips and throat. Pronunciation is just as much physical as it is mental (脑力的). One way is to really look at someone while they're saying words that use that sound, and then to try to imitate (模仿) that sound as much as possible, though it might sound a bit strange. Believe me, it might be difficult at the beginning, but you will manage it. It's something that is quite easily done; you just need to practice it.
