Some proverbs to learn

Practice makes perfect熟能生巧

Many different methods will produce the same result.

So long as you meet the deadline, I don't care how much help you get--all roads lead to Rome.

条条大路通罗马

万事开头难

冰冻三尺非一日之寒

种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆

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” !
