How we learn language
人們學習語言的方式
Learning language is something were born to do. As children, we learn to think, learn to communicate and intuitively pick up an understanding of grammar rules in our mother tongue, or native language. From then on, we learn all new languages in relation to the one we first knewthe one that we used to understand the world around us for the first time ever。
學習語言是人類與生俱來的行為。從孩提時起，我們就學習思考、學習交流，並且本能地掌握母語或本族語的語法。從那時起，我們便學習跟初識有關的任何新語言正是憑著初識，我們才懂得周圍的世界。
