My teacher had once told me that If you want to improve your English ,please choose a good book with beautiful articals and read every passage for 500 times. There is an old saying that of our ancient Uyghure ancient scolars conclude . It says if you read something for 100 times with a loud voice it will become a part of your skin , 200 times and it will become a part of your flesh meat ,300 times and it will become your blood,400 times and it will become your bone, and if you persist to read it for 500 times it will become a part of your Marrow . in When you reach this stage you can repeat the passage even in your dreams and you won’t forget it for a very long time . But most importantly you should compeletely concentrate on reading .This method is useful, especially for people who dont like reciting a passage . I think ,and I also belive ,that this metod is worth to take a trying .

Hi Bikyar, I haven’t corrected your punctuation or spelling because doing a spelling and grammar check in Microsoft Word will do that for you (there should be spaces after commas and full stops [periods] not before).

Your topic is interesting. I myself would not like to memorize very long passages in Chinese, because as you say it is important to stay focused, which would be difficult for along passage and might affect my motivation. However I find it very useful to “replay” in my mind phrases I hear people say, remembering exactly how they say it. Then I try to repeat it in their voice using the same rhythm.  I think that is why songs are so good for helping people to learn good pronunciation – we naturally remember the rhythm and accent better. Of course, internalizing whole passages is also good for word order and vocabulary.
