Some proverbs to learn Practice makes perfect 熟能生巧

A good beginning means half the success. 好的开始是成功的一半。

SUMMARY All in all, there is no easy way to learn a foreign language. All I can suggest is that “practice makes perfect”. Don’t ask “how to”, because “all roads lead to Rome”. “All things are difficult before they are easy”, so be confident of yourselves. “Rome is not built in one day” and “as you sow, so will you reap”. And we should remember “a good beginning means half the success” !
