Our great leader Marx, known as the "head of the Earth" for his proficiency in 11 foreign languages, once said the essence of learning a foreign language: To truly learn a foreign language, one must forget their native language entirely. This means one cannot use their native language to explain a foreign language, and while learning, they must not think in their native language. If you use Chinese to explain English, when you see or hear English, Chinese will inevitably appear first in your mind before you can understand its meaning. When speaking English, you will inevitably translate the Chinese in your mind into English before you can speak it. In this way, no matter how hard you study, you cannot achieve the fluency of a native speaker. We have seen this lesson far too many times.
