Drag words into the blanks.

Many people like to learn a new language. 1 as it sounds, to achieve the proficiency it can take a lot of efforts. There are multiple stages before a person can be said to be a language expert. First of all, the person should set a few 2 goals and narrow the focus on the most basic part. Every language uses grammar, which creates its skeleton. If a person learns the grammar, it's half job done. After that, learning to use the right words is very 3, because a word can be used in a variety of connotations at different places. Having a pal or a friend who speaks that language makes the task easier, so that errors could be 4 instantly. When you understand at least 40% of the words and sentences, listening to the programs and news in that language can also help immensely. All in all, it's about the 5 and efforts taken with the right techniques.
