Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another

15、language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practise as much as young children do. Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning

16、 a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.

This mindset (思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like theyre doi

17、ng something unusual or “too hard” So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! Its never too late to learn a new language. If youre older, it may take more work, but it can be done.

Here “tele” is the Greek for “far” and “vision” comes from Latin and means “seeing” Many common English words come from very strang

44、Finally, in the eleventh century William of Normandy came from France, and became King of England. With him came French civilisation and the French language. In modern Britain there are four separate languages: English, Welsh (about one third of the population of Wales speak Welsh), Scottish Gaelic
