■True OR False:
Learning a foreign language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly. There are some differences, but there is a
very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do these things needs a lot of practise. It is never enough to
read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you a lot of information about how to fly a plane. A book can


give you a lot of information about how to fly, but if you only read that book, then try to fly without any practise,
you will kill yourself. The same is true of learning a foreign language. For example, can you speak English well
without having lots of practise? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.
