  9. Tips on language learning 1. Repetition is something really important in learning a new type of language. Quantity Breeds Quality. Resembling going up stairs, when a certain amount of knowledge has been accumulated, you would step on a new stage. Don’t be upset when everything seems to remain unchanged. It takes time from quantity to quality. Be patient and keep moving forward.  2. Imagine to be situated in the real situation. That helps a lot.  3. Should you have any difficulties, please feel free to let the teacher know, we shall make some arrangements for you. 4. Never be shy to speak aloud. Practice makes perfect. The best way to learn is to make mistakes. Exposing faults means there would be no faults in the future.

  14. The Analects of Confucius • In the Analects, Confucius presents himself as a “transmitter who invented nothing”. He put the greatest emphasis on the importance of study, and it is the Chinese character for study that opens the text. In this respect， he is seen by Chinese people as the Greatest Master. Far from trying to build a systematic theory of life and society or establish a formalism of rites， he wanted his disciples to think deeply for themselves and relentlessly study the outside world.
