Hi. I'm Minghua from China. I'm learning English and I feel so frustrated. There are just so many new words to remember and English grammar rules are really confusing. I become very nervous when I speak English, too. What should I do?
你好，我是明华，我来自中国。我正在学习英语，我感觉很沮丧。需要记忆的新英语单词很多，语法规则也让我很困惑。当我说英语的时候也很紧张，我该怎么办呢？
Hi Minghua,
明华，你好。
Don't be frustrated. Learning a new language is not easy. I can share some of my learning tips with you.
不用沮丧，学习一种新的语言是不容易的。我可以给你分享一些我学习英语的小技巧。
For vocabulary, I think it's useful to make word lists for different topics. For example, you can make lists for fruit, vegetables and animals. Then you can review them whenever you have time. The more you review, the more easily you'll remember! And when you want to speak or write on a certain topic, you can refer to those lists.
对于词汇，对不同的主题要列单词列表，我觉得这样很有用。例如，你可以把水果、蔬菜和动物的单词分别做个列表，然后当你有时间的时候就复习一下。你复习的越多，记忆起来就越容易。当你需要谈论某个主题或对某个主题写作时就可以参考这些列表了。
As for grammar rules, I've used pictures and tables to help me, for example with verb tenses. I've also tried to put difficult structures into songs, but I think the best way to remember grammar rules is to use them. These methods work well for me. You can have a try.
至于语法规则，我试过用图片和表格来帮助记忆。以动词时态为例，我之前试着把难的句子结构放到歌曲中。但是我认为记忆语法规则最好的方法是运用这些规则。这些方法对我很有效。你可以试一试。
In the past, I was also very nervous when I spoke English in class because I was afraid of making mistakes. Then, I tried to talk to myself. Whenever I was alone, I just talked to myself in English. It worked. Now I no longer feel nervous when I speak English in class!
以前，我在课堂上说英语的时候也会紧张，因为我害怕犯错。后来，我试着和我自己说。每当我一个人的时候，我就自己和自己用英语对话，这种方法很有效。现在，我在课堂上说英语的时候就不会紧张了。
I hope these tips are helpful for you. I am sure you will feel less frustrated soon.
我希望这些建议对你有帮助。我相信你很快就不会那么沮丧了。
Good luck!
祝你好运！
