First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusion.

首先，成功的语言学习者是独立的学习者。他们不依赖书本或老师，他们能找到属于自己的学习语言的方法。他们并不是等着老师讲解，而是努力发现语言的模式和规则。他们善于根据某些线索进行猜测，然后得出自己的结论。
