Learning a new languge. The key to learn a new language is to listen first. It may take you time to pick up the tones, pronunciation, grammar, language structures, and so on. So be patient, but thrive for what you want. Motivate yourself. After or at the same time, attempt to speak the desired language as best as you can. See what you can do with your tongue. Your tongue's muscles are not adept to speaking a foreign language yet. I recommend practicing. Make some weird noises and try to match it. You might have an accent at first, but don't worry about it too much. The earlier you learn a language the better. In addition to speaking, excel to the next level--reading. Most people hate reading, but reading is a must. Hone your vocabulary. Test your skills. See the words and recognize them. Also, make them meaningful, so you can remember what you have learned. Don't forget to challenge yourself. Write your heart out. Articulate and express yourself through writing. It may not be perfect at first, but it is a start. Who knows? You might become an excellent writer!
