Dear Paul, Thanks for your letter . I feel better now :) Because I understood that: open my mouth is the only way for this problem, and I also need to practice more listening and speaking, no person can help me on this . If I don't understand what the foreigner says , based on I am reading The Third Ear, I think i need to use the "brain soaking" and 可明白输入 when I face the foreigner, I feel very nervous,and there is nothing in my mind , I can't listen to her/his saying , so I don't understand what her/ his says. Sometimes , I can listen to the foreigner saying , but I understood what he said for a few minutes later. Learning is a long process, learing is a lifetime thing. Fighting,Abbie Thanks for your help ,Paul.
Best Regards, Abbie
