W: What's that?

M: Some advertisements say "Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or get your money back! ".

W: It never happens quite like that. The only language easy to learn is the mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets!

M: It is really hard to master a language. Some people try at home with books and records or tapes; some use radio or television programs; others go to evening classes.

W: A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. Do you think it's a very effective way to learn a foreign language?

M: I don't think so. It's clear to learn the language in the country where it's spoken. There you come into contact with it all the time.

W: I can't agree with you more, but not everyone can afford this, and for many it's not necessary.

M: However, foreign language, especially English, is an indispensable part of our life. People need the language to do their work better.

W: You bet it. It's impossible for everyone to go abroad. And we can achieve great success as long as excellent ways are adopted.

M: Besides, perseverance is very important. We should accumulate what we learn gradually and put them into practice.
