Learning foreign languages, both at school and after graduation,

can be rewarded in many ways. Unfortunately, people 【M1】________

just give up when they find it boring to memorize words

and grasp basic grammar to inquire a certain level of skill 【M2】________

to communicate in a foreign language. Is there way out?

The answer is yes or no, according to top experts on foreign language 【M3】________

acquisition. They said something is much more than learning vocabulary【M4】________

and grammar should be done to be proficient in foreign languages.

“Try a subject that deeply interests you,” said Hannelore. “Once you

start learning foreign expressions about the subject that you’re

interested in, you can learn the foreign language more effectively.”

The underlying idea that forcing students to memorize words 【M5】________

totally unrelated to their life is not only effective but also a 【M6】________

waste of time. Start with an interesting topic, and once fun and

curiosity start to work, linguistic skills will follow. Motivation is

important in accelerating the learning process, and using the

foreign language in real situations — preferably in the country

where it is used in natural environment — is equally important. 【M7】________

Knowledge about the cultural background of the target

foreign language and interaction with native speakers are essential.

But what about those who rely on self-study and find it hard to go

over a certain level? Moser said it is natural that students who 【M8】________

learn foreign languages confronted a period of slump. That’s what

is called “ceiling effect”, a period in which one’s foreign language

ability goes to a standstill. But it is a period when one’s proficiency 【M9】________

is actually consolidating after entering a higher level. 【M10】________
