學外語是一項接觸的運動 我聽人說過:一個外國口音是勇敢的標誌! 學習外語不像學一個科目,而像學一項運動。 學外語是一項接觸的運動。 像摔跤或者美式足球一樣要穿保護用具。 學外語的保護用具是你的臉皮。 因為犯錯是不能避免的,所以你臉皮要厚一點。 學習外語也像學習拉小提琴一樣:不管多麼不好聽, 你都要繼續練習。 你先要大膽犯錯,然后得到反饋,再然后就能說得好一點。

學外語是一項就像接觸的性運動
-There is no indefinite article in Mandarin. We use "one" only while emphasizing the number.
-Do you mean "contact sport"? I couldn't find the general-used term in Mandarin so I translated it myself.
-I personally prefer simile than metaphor here.

-Same as I mentioned before, there is no indefinite article and the number here is not necessary.

學習外語不像學一個門科目,而像學一項運動。
-The measure word is crazy in Mandarin haha
-To be honest, I can't explain why it's better to keep the "a" here. It just is.

-Nice analogy :)
因為犯錯是不能不可/無法避免的,所以你臉皮要厚一點。

學習外語也像學習拉小提琴一樣:不管多麼不好聽, 你都要繼續練習。
你先要大膽犯錯,然后後得到反饋回饋,再然后後就能說得好一點更好。

-These (blue) parts are not absolutely wrong. I just edited it to be more natural to me.
-I noticed that you use traditional Chinese, so I use 後 instead of 后. 反饋 is a term used more often in China. In Taiwan we use 回饋.

完全赞成你的观点,学语言就是要“皮厚”,要不怕说错,不怕被人笑,就像学骑自行车,有些人不摔跤还学不会呢。
