Learning a foreign language is difficult for many learners, but the following tips may help you learn a foreign language quickly. Reading aloud When you start learning a foreign language, read aloud. It will help you increase (增加) your vocabulary. Studies have shown that reading aloud instead of reading lowly only to yourself helps in remembering. It helps with pronunciation, too. Building your vocabulary You"ll have to make a few word lists, have to memorize and review them regularly. You may have to review the word lists at least once a day for two weeks. Later you may need to review the word lists once a week for the next four to five weeks. Learning grammar Learning the grammar of a foreign language is a dry and boring task. But it can speed (加速) your language learning. Don"t jump to learn tenses (时态); it"s better to be done after you"ve learned some of the language. The most important thing is that you shouldn"t worry about the mistakes you"ll make when you start speaking the language. It"s from these mistakes that you"ll learn the language better.

In those states, people wear light clothes in summer, and they need heavy woolen clothes in winter.
