In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes.If the basic goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as realization of those mistakes increase.On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes.The language learner may observe how native speakers expressthemselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner.might say them.For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying "1 do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say "1'11 do it". The resulting difference can serve as a basis for the student to correct his way of using the present tense in English.But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.

　　为了学好一门外语，有必要先克服对错误的恐惧。如果使用语言的基本目标是交流，那么错误就是次要考虑的问题，可以在意识到错误日渐明显的过程中逐渐加以克服。另一方面，学生不应该忽略他们的错误。语言学习者可以观察说本族语的人如何表达自己，这些本族表达法和学习者可能说出来的表达有何不同之处。比如，一个西班牙人在表达自己愿意在不久将来做某事时用的是I do it，在与英语是母语的人交流时，就会注意到那个人实际上说的是I'll do it由此导致的差别可以作为学生纠正其英文中现在时态用法的基础。但是一个从开始就不愿与人交流的学生将会失去这种通过不断摸索进行学习的机会。
