学习新语言的方法

 

Practice a little everyday

 

每天都练习一点点。

 

If you're busy, you might be tempted¹ to put off your studying and cram² in a big chunk³ of learning once every week or two.

 

However, studying a little every day is actually more effective.

 

Because your brain's "inbox" has limited spaceand only sleep can clear it out, you'll hit the limit of how much you can takein pretty quickly if you study for hours at a time.
