General Outlook of skills of learning of the second language shows that there exist possessions of competencies for learning the foreign language. These properties form a critical section of learning of second or foreign language in different institutions (Kearney, 2015). Strategies for learning the second language have taken the delicate along with necessary level all the way through the history of teaching and learning process.
An interview held with a Chinese professor in the Northeastern University revealed a lot about second language. Quite naturally, English is the interviewee’s second language after Chinese.

They believe that the lack of speaking proficiency in the classroom that deals with a foreign language may occur due to the lack of original content. In the content-based instruction of the second language, there is the feeling of the two-for –one reward. The premium results because the learners tend to gain both pieces of knowledge about the second language and proficiency.

Dialect
This can be defined as a type of language that is spoken by a group of people within a given locality or region, such as a nation. Chinese and English dialects are so different both in structure as well as pronunciation, thereby giving rise to the need for more tolerance between the two groups when it comes to learning. For example, when it comes to consonants, Chinese doesn't have /v/, /θ/, /ð/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /tʃ/, /dʒ/, /tr/, /dr/, /dz/. They don't know the different between /v/ and /w/, therefore they pronounce "survive" /səˈwaɪw/. Of course, they don't distinguish between "west" and "vest". Through regular practice as the professor said in the interview, the pronunciation becomes more and more fluent with time.
