It’s a myth that intelligent people are better at learning languages. 聪明的人更擅长语言学习？这种话只是传说而已。 Sure, it doesn’t hurt, especially when innately academic types hold an arsenal of learning strategies. Most language learning skills, however, are in fact habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline and self-awareness. 当然，这也算不什么，尤其对那些天生会读书的人来说来说，他们对各类学习方法可谓驾轻就熟。但实际上大多数语言学习技巧都是习惯，稍加自觉和训练便能获得。 Here are the five most common mistakes language learners make – and how to correct them... 下面是语言学习者最常犯的五个错误，以及改正错误的方法。 1.
