Study? no, Use! I think many people misunderstand about getting other languages. It is likely to think we have to study in order to learn another languege such as sitting chair and then memorize vocbulary, grammar, and difficult sentence. However, Language is not a studying stuff, but a using in usual life. So, before you want to speak other language, first, regard it as tool for communication. It is not a studying. Just make a friend who can speak languge you want to learn. Feel natural and try to use the languege. There are many ways to do efficiently like through listening to music, watching drama or movies, making friends, and traveling abroad. It is just my opinion.

Study? no, Use!

I think many people misunderstand about getting acquiring other languages. It is likely common to think we have to study in order to learn another language, such as sitting in a chair and then memorizing vocbulary, grammar, and difficult sentences. However, language is not a about studying stuff, but a using it in usual life.

So, before you want to speak other language, first, regard it as tool for communication. It is not a about studying. Just make a friend who can speak the languge you want to learn. Feel natural and try to use the languege. There are many ways to do this efficiently, like through listening to music, watching dramas or movies, making friends, and travelling abroad.

It This is just my opinion.

----Notes---

Note 1:

There are two verb show in this sentence. I guess what u wanna say as:

I think many people (who are) misunderstanding about ...

I think (that) many people misunderstand...

*When u writing an article, it's better keeping all signals, such as relative pronoun, in your sentences.

Note 2:

another (adj.)+ sl. noun

other (adj.)+ pl. noun

others is a noun which means 'rest' or 'someone else'.

The last pink one that I marked should be 'other languages'

Note 3:

sitting on the chair, memorizing(using adj. not verb) vocabularies (more than one words), learning (complex) grammar, and practicing (how to structure) difficult sentences.

* when u use the sentence as: XXX, XXX, XXX, and XXX, it means every XXX which should have same structure. Since u use 'sitting chair' (ving + N), so, it's better giving ving(adj.) to individual none of this part.

Note 4:

Please don't use VERB to be the begining of a sentence.

We can use 'To+verb' as the beginning of sentence, but, please don't use verb directly. The only way that people use verb in the beginning of sentence is imperative. Then, u need put "!" in the end of the sentence and there is no subject in the sentence. For example, 'Attention!'

I believe using a language in everyday settings is the by far the fastest way to improve an already existing proficiency, but if you don't have a strong foundation in grammar and syntax, then you reach a plateau where you find it much harder to progress as you have only a very limited knowledge based solely on application in that specific setting that doesn't allow you to formulate your own thoughts and sentences outside of fixed expressions you've picked up. For example, if you are always watching Korean news or Korean dramas, you would find it very difficult to walk into a restaurant and order some food, or if you are always listening to Chinese pop music, you would have no idea how to carry on a conversation about the weather.

thanks I agree with your opinion. one day, we have to concentrate on learning books. :))

I agree, that's actually how I learned Korean, but it gets to the point that you need to sit down with the proper grammar book behind the chair one day and learn how to read and write. That's where I am right now and I am truthfully lost! I have heard Korean so much, I understand it if it's spoken, but reading it and trying to make my own sentences is very difficult since I rarely ever tried it ^^.. also I have such a limited vocabulary, I only know the words spoken in the dramas, like revenge, accident etc .. lol
