Have you ever wondered why you can speak Chinese well but find it hard to speak English? Maybe you think it's easier than English. You are wrong! Chinese seems easy because you've spoken it since childhood. Now, we can't go back to our childhood to learn English, but we can learn from kids.
Play to learn.
Kids learn when they play games. You can't just learn English by reading a textbook or you will lose attention. You can learn English through imaginative play (想象游戏) like a kid. You can imagine that you're ordering a meal in London.
Learn in an English-speaking environment.
Kids learn from people around them. They see, listen, experience and speak. You'll need to create a similar learning environment. For example, you can stay with friends who are learning English, too. That's helpful for English learning. As there is usually one central topic, you can hear and learn some words about the topic in the English-speaking environment.
One of the reasons kids learn so well is that they have no fear! Don't worry about making mistakes-just keep practicing until you get things right! But if you stick to it, and you will achieve your goals. Trust me-it's worth it!
