I thought you can adopt this attitude toward learning English. My mentor once told me: Forget about your culture, forget about your Chinese, soak yourself in English culture, English literature - Monkey see, monkey do.
an expression describing someone who imitates another person's actions, good or bad,simply by having watched them before.
Helluva saying, right?
Monkey see, monkey do is a pidgin-style saying that appeared in American culture in the early 1920s. The saying refers to the learning of a process without an understanding of why it works. Another definition implies the act of mimicry, usually with limited knowledge and/or concern of the consequences.
Imitating, however, is an effetive way to get you to English. Why?
I've seen house keepers and cooks can speak fluent English; however, can't read, can't write. They can say so much in native tongue. Why? They imitate their masters. That's monkey see, monkey do.
