Don’t be Afraid to Make Mistakes when Talking

These days , i am glad to learn kungfu English ,the past 10 lessons have much songs .Those songs is easy to learn ,and i can do other things while listening a song .I always follow the song to speak , this habit is good for my pronunciation ,and help me remember them.

When i was tired , i use “Hello Talk” to relax . There is much people on it , they share they life ,ask for correct writing help , look for language learning partner  , it’s very interesting .

Sometimes when i confused , i post message on this app,somebody will give me help .Today i send a message , it’s  “please help , which is correct?I’m confused .”

  1. listen to song 
  2. listen to the song 
  3.  listing song 
  4. listening to the song 

 They told me NO 1 and NO 3 is wrong . 

An English man give me a example “Listening a song” , An American comment it :”this sentence is wrong  , ‘ listening to a song ‘ is the correct” , they argue at this .They  also told me, “a” means “one of ” , “the” means  special .

Native speaker also make mistake in the mother language ,so as a foreigner language speaker we need not afraid make mistake , just speak if you want to speaking .

This a special things ,very memorable , i will write it down .

    Very good discovery. Native speakers make mistakes all the time. And, even if it’s not a mistake, people will often disagree about what is the CORRECT way to say something.

    It’s definitely not all black and white.
