It is not true that only children can learn a second language easily. Adults also can learn it well. We need a method to learn a second language, language parent, and more practice. We need to create a language environment. I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that they have different language missionaries in the world. They learned a new language in only 3 months at the missionary training center and then send to the world to proclaim the gospel. Their reason for learning the second language so fast is they have a method to teach the new language and the missionaries have the heart to learn, so I believe adults also can learn the second language very well.

I am learning English for a long time. I attended the class, bought the book for self-study, and watched English movies & TV programs.  I create my own English Environment. I know my listening is better than before. But I still speak is not well because I am shy to speak English with foreigners, I am shy to open my mouth. I think my pronunciation is bad, people maybe will laugh at me or they will not understand what I say. But now I learn I need to be cheeky, Although I can’t speak well, just speak, and they will ask when they don’t understand, more practice will make perfect.

I started my English learning at primary school, and they used the Chinese traditional method to teach. For example, memorize vocabulary words but we don’t know how to use the word and have no opportunity to use it.
