1. What foreign languages have you studied?
English. Knowing English means more opportunities while you’re hunting a job in China. Practice makes perfect. Normally I practice oral English by finding conversation partners, either over the internet via Skype, or in the local community.
英语。学会英语意味着在中国找工作的时候有更多的机会。熟能生巧。我通常通过找口语伙伴来练习英语口语，要么通过Skype在网上找，要么在当地社区找。
2. Would you say it's a difficult language to learn?
English is a beautiful language to learn but it provides a challenge. Languages are cumulative and everything you learn from day one builds upon itself. English grammar can be rather complicated. Pronunciation can be difficult as well.
英语是一门美丽的语言但学起来也有挑战。语言是靠日积月累的，每天所学的东西都会积累起来。英语语法很复杂。发音也挺难的。
3. Do Chinese people have many chances to practice oral English?
No. Most of us barely have the opportunities to practice speaking. When you find a face-to-face person to work or live together you can practice your oral English and teach your partner Chinese as an exchange.
没有。我们多数人都很少有机会练习口语。当你找到一个面对面工作或一起住的人的时候，就可以练习口语同时你也可以教他中文作为交换。
4. Do you think it's important to know more than one language?
Yes. Knowing another language helps you to understand people of other cultures not just verbally but socially. Also, in a growing global economy knowing more than one language gives you more opportunities.
掌握另一门语言不仅仅从书面上，而是交际层面上帮助你了解不同文化背景的人。而且，在全球经济增长的今天，掌握超过一门语言就多了更多的机遇。
5. What is the most difficult part about studying a foreign language?
Grammar rules are hard to remember especially when there’s a huge gap between the mother language and the 2nd language. But the most important of all is determination, though it has nothing to do with the language itself, it really is the thing that decides how fast you are going to learn a language.
语法规则很难记忆，尤其是这门第二语言和母语之间有较大鸿沟的时候。但最重要的还是决心，虽然它和语言本身无关，但这确实是决定你多快掌握一门语言的关键。
