As long as it involves language, whether learning Chinese or learning a foreign language, it is inseparable from the cultivation of "language sense".
Language sense refers to people's ability to perceive and grasp language, including sensitivity and accuracy to the prosody, grammar, vocabulary and other aspects of language. A good sense of language can help people better understand and use language, improve their expression and communication skills.
We can meet people in our lives: they have a good pronunciation, a good vocabulary, and no problem with grammar, but they always say strange things. For example, it's like using an interpreter to chat in a daily environment, which is out of step with the environment and makes people listen awkwardly.
Some of the language sense is innate, born in the brain, and some of the language sense is acquired, accumulated through long-term learning. Language is not only a knowledge of words and sentence patterns, but also a skill. Speakers should be keenly aware of phonetics, grammar and semantics, quickly comprehend the emotional color and cultural background of the language, and immediately use authentic and appropriate language to express ideas.
In addition to the texts, you can use the texts recommended in the article "How to Plan Your Introductory Reading in Esperanto?" to enhance your reading and develop your sense of language. Several of these works include both spoken and selected written languages for different occasions, which will be of great help to you in mastering Esperanto.
If you need to improve your Esperanto skills to the next level, the National Association for World Literature and Periodicals Service is currently offering a lot of discounts, and there are several reading materials to consider.
The translation and proofreading of the UNESCO Courier Esperanto edition is carried out in collaboration with leading Esperanto translators from many countries, and the magazine's themes are closely related to international topics, cultural phenomena and social focuses, bringing you Esperanto expressions on cutting-edge topics. If you are still at the stage of everyday language, the Esperanto version of the Courier will undoubtedly allow you to expand your vocabulary and express yourself to the level of thinking in Esperanto.
