简化你的语言学习-尽可能多地讲(2)

Simplify¹ your language learning²简化你的语言学习

 

Speak the language as much as you can(especially with native speakers).

 

尽可能多地讲这种语言（特别是与母语人士）

 

It goes without saying that the best way to learn how to speak a language is to actually speak it. Reading and studying grammar books will only get you so far.

 

 

And yet, it's so easy to get trapped³ in the"not-good-enough" mindset, where you don't speak because you think you don't speak well enough. And then your speaking doesn't get better.

 

So make an effort to communicate with native speakers of your language. You'll learn a lot more in a 5 minute conversation with a native Spanish speaker than you will from another English speaker who's had 2 years of college Spanish. Try to spend 80% of your time speaking with those who speak the language better than you.
