In learning a foreign language, we are constantly trying to express things beyond our language capacity, leading to a variety of mistakes. In learning vocabulary, for example, we may make mistakes of over-extension, such as applying the word cat to all four-legged animals. Or we make mistakes of under-extension, such as using cat only for their cat at home, as if it were a name. In fact, making such mistakes is quite normal, but we may feel uncomfortable because we think that we are losing face.,This notion is indeed harmful in learning language. If we are afraid of making mistakes or losing face, we will not go further in our learning process. Making mistakes can help us gain more information about the world and how language is used to describe it. If we can identify the mistakes by ourselves or they are corrected by others, we can learn in a more effective way. In this sense, if we understand what making mistakes means to us and enjoy losing our faces in learning language, we can all become successful language learners.,What shall I do when making mistakes in leaning English?,At Sundays graduation, Li Zimo will speak to the 385 members of her class.

She knew they were having the same troubles that she had experienced.,当李开始帮助学校里刚来美国的中国学生时，她首先发现了写这本书的必要性。她了解他们正在经历着她曾经经历过的同样的麻烦。,译 文,“You think you are the only person feeling embarrassed when making mistakes,” she said when we interviewed her, “but everyone does it.” She calls her book Looking for Trouble.

Never be afraid of making mistakes. You have to dare to learn the language you cant just sit in your own room and only study grammar. You have to go and talk to people and listen to them speak.
