For learning language, I believe that get used to the custom of using words is more effective than creat my own sentance.
My own experience in learning Chinese tell me that, practice before creation.
And, all of the idioms are come from my textbook, thus, they are supposed to be correct.@@
However, if they are not correct, you know wahat to do~~XD
How bbc say that? right, "toxic liability"!
I'm really bad in memorizing "anything".@@
Nevertheless, for a learner like me, to memorize how to use words is my "toxic liability".
