* Why difficult to learn the second language

I think the second language is more difficult to
learn, compared with the first language
(mother tongue) because language is different
from knowlege or study. It means learning
lauguage needs 'adaptation' process. By the
time we learn second language, we have
already masterd the first language so we
get in trouble in our mind because we should
give up the easy way of communicating in the
first language and also we choose the hard
way of using the second language.

My roommate is Chinese student who is fluent
in speaking English. I asked her "Why do you
think it is difficult to learn a second language?"
She said that Asian people have already built
the structure of grammar in their brain naturally,
but she thinks most people probably can handle
these problems by studying hard. However,
the important thing is Asian people have totally
different cultural background, so they have
difficulties in understanding the foreign language
in the emotional aspects as well.

In conclusion, I thinks we have to speak and
communicate with our own native language,
and try to use the second language as much
as possible to master it.
