当我们谈到学习一门语言诸如英语、日语或西班牙语时,我们用这种语言说话和思考就好像正在谈论中的语言是固定不变的,我们期望像学几何或学骑车一样系统地学习并最终取得显著的成效。
许多人发现这仅是一种误解时便放弃了。
实际上,他们开始了一份持续终生的工作。
这种经验使他们不仅意识到如果想要成功不得不努力工作,而且意识到在很多情况下,他们连著自己所谓的母语也没有精通。

其实,学习任何语言就像是一次永无止境的航行。
当今世界上使用的成千上万语言中的每一种语言都是一件复杂的事情。
许多语言确实有一种标准形式---特别是书面语---这就是我们要学习的,然而,他们也可能有各种各样的地区方言和社会文体,许多是历史进程中和其他语言融合的产物。
英语就是这样一种混合语言。
大约二千年前开始演变的。
首先是一种古德语形式,与一种特殊的古法语发生了冲突,其后又吸取了一些拉丁语和希腊语。
自那以后有吸收了它的使用者所接触的其他所有语言的点点滴滴。
