Let me tell you a story about a funny mistake I made in Chinese. I went to a restaurant one day to ask for "Paigu-fan"(rice and pork). I went in and made a mistake when I asked for "Pigu-fan"(rice and bottom!). The woman roared with laughter, but she figured out what I wanted and I laughed too, when I realized what I 'd asked for! It really didn't matter; I got what I needed and everybody had a good laugh. 我曾经犯过一个有趣的汉语错误,故事是这样的:有一天我去一家餐厅要点“排骨饭”,结果我把它说成“屁股饭”。老板娘笑个不停,不过她知道我要什么;等我明白我点了什么时,我也跟着笑了。这真的没有关系,毕竟我要点的东西送来了,大家也笑得很开心。

You will make mistakes when you are learning a foreign language, but don't be afaid to do so. You will learn from your mistakes and most people will be patient and helpful when you tell them your English is not so good. 学任何一种外语犯错误是必然的,但不要因此而退缩。你不仅可以从错误中学习,而且当你告诉对方你英文不太好时,大部分人也都会很有耐心地和你沟通。
