【推荐1】You’re learning a foreign language. Do you know what successful language learners are like?

First of all, successful language learners are independent（独立自主的） learners. They don’t depend on books or teachers. They find their own ways to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teachers to explain, they try to find methods and rules by themselves. They’re good guessers who look for clues (线索) and get their own ideas. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.

Successful language learning is active learning. So successful learners don’t wait for a chance to use the language. They look for such a chance. They find native speakers and ask them for help when they make mistakes. They try to communicate with others. They’re not afraid to repeat what they hear or say strange things. When communication is difficult, they can get information that is inexact or incomplete by guessing. It’s more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they’re interested in the language and the native speakers’ life. It’s necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly.
