又如:Seeing is believing.
2.Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement.
试找出句子的主干:
此句中who are learning a second language是定语从句,用来修饰most adults.
Would的用法?

Thousands of…
Millions of…
Billions of…

5.Conversely,some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.
Who引导了一定从,it为形式宾语,真正宾语是后面不定式。
6.Language teachers often offer advice to language learners,…
注意offer的用法:offer sb sth或者offer sth to sb

16.Learn from…向….学习
