  1. Connect with a native speaker(与以该语言为母语的人保持交流)
  The best way to learn a new language is to speak it. Too often, people spend all of their time studying grammar and memorizing lists of words instead of actually going out there and putting what they’ve learned into practice. Speaking with a real, live person will help you to feel much more easier about learning the language than staring at a book or computer screen.
  Try to find a friend or someone else who speaks the language you wish to learn and who’d be willing to sit down with you and help you practice. And also, you could try putting ads in local online forums or newspapers to find someone to teach you or take part in a language exchange.
  If you can’t find anyone who speaks your language nearby, try to connect with someone online. People in foreign countries are often willing to exchange half an hour of speaking in their native tongue for half an hour of speaking in English.
  2. Study the language every day(天天学习该语言)
  People often say to have studied a language “for five years” and still not be good enough. But when they say five years, they really mean that they studied the language for only a couple of hours a week during the five years. Let’s get one thing clear - if you want to learn a new language quickly - that is, in the space of a few weeks or months - you’re going to have to spend a couple of hours studying the language every day.
  Language learning is based on speaking it again and again - deepening something into your brain over and over again until you remember it. If you break too long between study time, you are much more likely to forget what you learned last time and you will waste valuable study time going back over what you’ve already learned.
  You can reduce this wasted time by studying every day. There are no short cuts when it comes to language learning - you just need to obey the rule.
  3. Always carry a dictionary(随身带本字典)
  Carrying a dictionary with you will save you a lot of time, so get one as soon as possible!
  It can be an actual, physical dictionary, or a dictionary app on your phone - you just need to be able to look it up quickly whenever you need a word.
  Carrying a dictionary will allow you to find the necessary word at a moment notice. This is especially important when you are having a conversation with a native speaker and don’t wish to stop the conversation by not being able to remember a word. In addition, looking up the word and using it immediately in a sentence will help you to learn the word by heart.
  You can also buy the dictionary at random moments throughout the day - when you’re waiting in line at the grocery store, when you’re on a coffee break at work, or sitting in traffic. You could learn an extra 20 or 30 words a day this way!
  4. Visit a country where your chosen language is spoken(参观一个说该语言的国家)
  Clearly, it would be a great help to your language learning skills if you could spend some time visiting a country where your new language is spoken.
  Force yourself to speak with the locals - whether you’re asking for directions, buying something in a store, or simply saying hello - and you will gain a new appreciation of the language and its speakers.
  It doesn’t matter how basic your oral skills are. Keep pushing yourself to speak and you will soon notice a quick improvement in your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.
