What other people say about language learning
  • Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.

    - Francis Bacon

  • When something can be read without effort, great effort has gone into its writing.

    - Enrique Jardiel Poncela

  • Therefore I took some of the tales and turned them into verse; and, after a time, when I had pretty well forgotten the prose, turned them back again. I also sometimes jumbled my collections of hints into confusion, and after some weeks endeavored to reduce them into the best order, before I began to form the full sentences and complete the paper. This was to teach me method in the arrangement of thoughts. By comparing my work afterwards with the original, I discovered many faults and amended them; but I sometimes had the pleasure of fancying that, in certain particulars of small import, I had been lucky enough to improve the method or the language, and this encouraged me to think I might possibly in time come to be a tolerable English writer, of which I was extremely ambitious.

    - Benjamin Franklin

  • ……大一英文79分,总评72分……《英国散文》期考成绩公布,我得69分,可能是全班最低的分数,不太高兴,可见我并没有保存真实的我。真实的我读了《英国散文大家》,能够自得其乐,这不就够了吗?分数有什么关系?俄文得一百分,难道我就真学好了俄文?要真!
