PASSAGE

Learning a new language takes 1, but almost anyone can do it. People learn languages for many reasons. Some want a better job. Others want to travel, or to talk with family in another country. Most learners begin with words. A few hundred 2 words already let you order food or ask for directions. Grammar comes next. It shows you how to put those words in the right order. Many students find grammar hard at first, so teachers often start with simple patterns. Practice is the part people skip. Reading a textbook is not the same as speaking. You have to use the language out 3, even when you make mistakes. Mistakes are not a sign of failure. They show the brain where it still needs work. Technology has made practice much easier. Apps test your vocabulary during a short bus ride. Videos and podcasts let you 4 how real people speak. You can also find a partner online and talk for twenty minutes a week. The learners who succeed are usually not the cleverest ones. They are the ones who study a little every 5. Fifteen minutes daily beats three hours once a month.
