Learn a language-you need to know

 

学习语言必备

 

Go to where the language is spoken

 

去到说目标语言的地方

 

It may not be an option for everyone but Braun reminds us that "if you are serious about learning the language andgetting direct pleasure from what you have learned, you need to go to where that language is spoken".

 

Travel and living abroad can complement learning in the classroom: "The books and verb charts may be the easiest way to ensure you expose yourself to the language at home, but the people and the culture will far outclass them once you get to the country where your language is spoken."
