       Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says " Learn a foreign
language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your
pronunciation will be excellent. Just send..."  and so on?
      Of course, it never happens quite like that. Anyone who learns a
foreign language would think that it is not true.
     The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. What is
the mother tongue? It is the first and main language that you learnt when
you were a child. And think how much practice that a child gets!
      Before the Second World War, people usually learned a foreign
language in order to read the literary (文学的) works of the  country.
Nowadays, speaking the foreign language is what most people want.
Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they
do it?
      Some people try at home , with books and tapes; some use radio
or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the
language only two or three times a week, learning it will take a long
time, like language leaning at school. A few people try to lean a
language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly
easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However,
most people cannot afford this, and many language learners need the
language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and
doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign
language. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the
student's work for him. Whether the language is learned quickly or
slowly, it is hard work with a lot of training in reading, listening,
speaking, and writing.
