I was just looking for a piece of paper, that I saw a punch of my own handwrittings. Looking through them, I found some perfect sentence which I've learnt from my teachers. Here are some for you to read:

•  
• I scratch your back, you scratch my back
• watch your mouth/watch your words
• may patient was running out
• he goes cup in hand*
• the first step is the hardest one
•  

*I just thought it needs some help in meaning so I wrote the meaning just for this one in here: کاسه گدایی دست گرفته

What Me Worry About Language Learning

 By: Greg Thomson

You are hoping to learn a language. What sort of expectations do you have? I still have some scrawlings which I made in the margin of a page in Nida (1957) in the spring of 1967. They were my language learning goals for the summer. I expected to become a Blackfoot speaker during the five months available to me. Ignorance was bliss. If I had known what I was doing, I could probably have gained functional communication ability during five months. As it was, there was no chance I would get very far at all. I was overconfident. Over the years since, I have met people who were under-confident about their language learning prospects. Perhaps they were perfectly normal people going to live in a Spanish speaking country, and doubted their ability to learn Spanish at all. That too is unrealistic. Any normal person can learn any language, given enough contact with speakers of that language.

But it does help to be realistic. A simplistic view of a language learning challenge can lead to disappointment and discouragement. An unrealistically pessimistic view can lead to giving up before getting started. Some languages are much harder to learn than others. It is harder to learn languages in some situations than in other situations. Some people are better at it than others...
