20、 important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.4finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. they want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. it is necessary for them to learn

21、the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. they find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.5what kind of language learner are you? if you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently
