• Hope for mature learners (14 years and up) —
Older learners face several difficulties. Their busy schedules
make it difficult to squeeze in language classes. Their
tongues refuse to cooperate to produce new sounds. And
their pride prevents them from practicing with native
speakers.
• 年長學習者的希望(14歲以上) —
年紀較大的學習者面臨幾項困難。忙碌的生活作
息不易擠出時間上語言課。舌頭不願配合發出新
的聲音。自尊心也阻礙了他們跟以此語言為母語
的人練習。
